What is a "non-player character"?
A non-player character (NPC) is any character in a game that is not controlled by a player. NPCs are typically managed by the game's programming and serve various roles, such as advancing the story, providing quests, offering information, or acting as merchants or enemies. They are a key part of creating a game world, making it feel more alive and interactive. For example, in role-playing games, NPCs might include villagers who give advice or shopkeepers who sell items. Unlike player characters, NPCs have limited behaviors set by the game.
