NPC Based Extortion RP


Recommended Posts

So I have not looked in GMOD shop or workshop content but this is an idea stolen directly from one of my favorite video games as a child. The Godfather. 
 


In the attached clip is an example of the extortion mechanic which was a primary money making and territory expansion gameplay loop. 

It was fun, repeatable, and I think if could be done (would likely be a lot of development unless us as a community can find a similar system that exists) would be a great early game criminal money maker that isnt as stupid as fraudulent checks and boring as endless shipment grinding. 

I think it could reinforce the territory system the alliances are attempting to convey by connectign core NPC's to faction alliances that people in those factions could extort. 

Push too hard? they call the cops. Push too little? They fight back or refuse to pay. Each NPC could have a random amount of dialogue or push to them(such as punching or threatening) that works. 

Could add immersive RP by doing it with multiple people of your faction all talking to the NPC to increase payouts and success chances. 

Most NPC's are OOC such as selling drugs to a dealer, with these NPCs if someone on the Cop WL walks by in their radius it could instantly alert them. (risk vs reward)

Just spitballing what do yall think?

Why not just do it to a actual faction? extortion is a real thing especially to newer factions, NPC's nah that's dumb as fuck and would be aids to code into gmod.

Because this isnt about extorting factions but legal businesses "within your territory" Its also meant to be a unique form of a money maker for new players not faction HC to change up the monotonous shipment grind. You try doing this shit to another faction you're gonna get shot in the face or end up in a political nightmare. I already admitted it would be a lot of dev time unless a system was already made.
