Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[cantremember]

I wonder if we'll meet some flesh and blood, talkative humans in the game.

I remember Dan saying in the 1st may Q&A that there would be other npcs besides monsters.

Yeah, but I doubt there'll be any direct contact.

Exactly, it's not saying much. Alexander floating around and Agrippa attached to his contraption could be considered talking npc.

[Gunslingerjh]

Custom stories were the way, why Amnesia got popular. Now if the game is that famous, they don't need to make custom story feature.

It's not about Custom stories why Amnesia got popular.

Agreed! Its also pointless to implement custom stories in aamfp because it's almost the same HPL engine they used for TDD.

Maybe people fleeing from the monsters or Oswald Mandus himself.

You play as Oswald?...

[Deep One]

You play as a piglet

Yes you are but it has his idea to put people through the machine.People might run away from Oswald thinking that he's after them.It's just my theory.

Correct. Only the main game is important.

I would not call it pointless for people who dont have TDD, but only buys AAMFP

Since hearing about other NPC's in the game, I honestly hoped this wasn't true. I pray we don't have other people in the game we're talking to and interacting with. It would COMPLETELY take away the feeling of being alone and stranded, desperate without nothing but you and your own mind in the darkness. I would be 90% less scared if I had people around me the whole time, it's a huge mistake. Now if it's just us running into someone every so often, like the little kid you see running through a hall in one of the teasers, trying to get away from you. Or mysteriously showing up every so often even, I think that would be kind of creepy and cool.

How so?
We had Red to talk to us in Overture
We had the lovely redhead doctores in Black Plague
We had dr Emenis talking to us in Requim
We had Agripa talk to us but the game was called amnesia so we also had Daniel himself and Alexander talking to us.

It wouldn't be anything strange

I added a new subcategory to the Info Portal, "Misidentified, Fan-Made or Fake Media". It's for pointing out images/videos which are believed to be related to AAMFP but are either fakes or something unrelated. If anyone has any examples of this that I haven't already listed let me know

I was prompted to add this subcategory after seeing this VG247 article which apparently believes that image of a pig monster to be from AAMFP. That piece of artwork was actually from 2010, before AAMFP was even conceived of!

Hardarm gets an honourable mention, of course
