Meeting people on the road

[sem]

I'd like to see a message about people you pass (or who pass you) even if you don't get a message about those just coming into view. Especially now that the roads have got quieter due to the teleporting animals. Perhaps looking out for people could make up for the lack of hunting.

If there's just one message per encounter then I think it should be when the person appears because then there would be more of a chance of interacting with them. The time is halved if you only get the message once you've walked past them.

Trading on the road has been brought up many many times in the past. If i remember correctly the reason it can't be done is because unless two chars leave a location in the exact same minute going the same speed facing the same way then they will never be on the exact same piece of road making exchange of goods impossible.

What a bull. What about those people in/on vehicles. Does not the same apply to them?

[SekoETC]

Yeah. Although isn't this topic just about getting an event when you see/pass somebody?

That was the main reason for resurrecting it, but the throwaway line about trading in the original post caused a similar threadijack when it was first suggested from the look of it.
