Forum:Rename "Interactions with the player character"

Ausir and me were having a little discussion about the name of the "Interactions with the player character" sections. Input would be appreciated. I've added a copy of the initial conversation below. -- Porter21 (talk) 12:53, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm finding it hard to think of interactions between characters which aren't sparked by some kind of player action. Got any examples? -- Porter21 (talk) 12:53, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * In Fallout and Fallout 2, some of them are just sparked by the player being around, like Kenji's attempt at killing Killian (player can intervene but doesn't have to) or the bar fight in Junktown, or by just bringing a companion to a certain place (it is a "player action" to an extent, but not directly), like the long discussion between Vic and Valerie. Anyway, even if it were to cover only interactions with the player, I think the name "Interactions" is clear enough and much handier than the current one. Ausir(talk) 13:00, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * As to the Vic and Valerie example, I think it fits just fine under "Interactions with the player character." The entry would just begin with, "If you bring Vic with you into Valerie's shop..." I think, too, that any important interactions between NPCs would fall under this same kind of categorical thinking. That is, they can all begin with something like, "If you walk in to (a place) when both (Dude) and (Dudette) are present, they will..."
 * As to the more general question--Why not use the shorter section title?--I'm usually all for shorter and less clunky wording, but in this case I think the longer more descriptive title helps editors. I shudder to think of all the entries on FO3 pages like, "Sometimes, if Billy Creel encounters Sheriff Harden just walking around, he will say, 'How's it going?'"
 * That being said, I deal almost entirely with FO3 pages. If FO and FO2 editors think the shorter "Interactions" works better for those games' pages, I have no objection.--Gothemasticator 15:02, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * To add to the "more descriptive" argument, it's a bit similar to renaming "Trivia" to "Behind the scenes". The latter is longer and a bit more cumbersome to type, but using it has dramatically reduced the amount of non-belonging content inserted there (pseudo-references aside ;)). -- Porter21 (talk) 15:27, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
