To say that making video games is hard is an understatement. Developer Obsidian Entertainment recently confirmed that you can kill every single NPC in its upcoming RPG, The Outer Worlds. At first, this might not seem like a huge deal, but the company?s senior designer Brian Heins explained why this was a massive undertaking to get right.
Here?s what Heins had to say:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1564841030'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1564841030') .defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display('ros_300x250_p_slot4_1564841030');

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie['val'] === 'false') {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1564841030']]);
}

});
