Category talk:NPCs

Could some one clarify for me the difference between this category and the bestiary category, beyond the obvious fact that this one is more specific. And is it not possible to include them in each other? epo Man 06:39, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

The beastiary should be used as a category by race (or creature type); whereas, the NPC should be used as a category by job (or unsorted as a standard non-player controlled character). At least this is what I think it is for. Venom20 14:20, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

venom is correct bestiary = race, NPC = character (as in name/job/use/etc.) (IMHO!) --The Holy Dragons 15:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Thats what i though, but then why would we have a page like Dorion Keane who is an npc listed under humans, and is therefore under the bestiary but not under the npc category...

For that i see the bestiary category as being fairly useless when this category exists epo Man 05:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Well that person isn't in the game itself and cannot be an NPC by definition. Which is why he has a Ghosts of Ascalon characters category instead. Venom20 05:56, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, a better example probably would have been Logan Thackery, but my point is that almost all NPCs would fall under one of the bestiary categories anyways, and so why not just include those categories under the NPC category to avoid unnecessary linking to multiple categories. epo Man 06:44, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

But the type of NPCs wouldn't go under Bestiary. I.e., under this would (eventually) be "Category: Merchant NPCs" and a category for each "job" the NPCs have, and the NPCs would go in those categories. Bestiary=race, this=purpose. They categorize the same things, with slight changes (race pages/job pages), but they categorize them differently and for different purposes. -- Konig/talk 23:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
