3.3.7. Talking to NPCs

Although Star Wars Galaxies is populated by thousands of other live players, there are also be hundreds of computer-controlled characters (known as non-player characters, or NPCs) in the game world as well. You often need to talk to these NPCs to gain missions, training, or information.

To start a conversation, place your reticle over the NPC, and then click and hold the MOUSE 1 button until a radial menu appears. If the NPC is willing to talk to you, Converse will appear on the radial menu. Once you begin a conversation, the NPC' s dialogue will be on the left side of the character with a list of possible responses on the right. Click on one of the responses to continue the conversation.

You won't lose control of your character while conversing. You can move freely, continue to chat with other players, and look around while talking to an NPC. The conversation automatically ends if you wander away or do not answer the NPC after an extended period of time. You can only talk to one NPC at a time, and these conversations are not private.

The information, dialogue options, and missions you receive from an NPC depends upon your responses, as well as who you are. Some NPCs will only offer you work after you have established yourself in the game or performed favors for their friends. If you' re a Rebel soldier, don' t expect a stormtrooper to be forthcoming.

BUT YOU CAN' T FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE WANT OR NEED UNLESS YOU TALK TO ' EM, SO DON' T BE AFRAID TO START UP CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYONE YOU SEE.
