Examples

“When it comes to open-world games and larger experiences, NPCs are crucial to immersing the player in the world and allowing them to feel as though the people they meet along their journey aren’t just robots but, in fact, real individuals and smaller but important pieces to the larger puzzles of the title. For The Witcher 4, game director Sebastian Kalemba has vowed to make every NPC in the upcoming installment look like “they’re living, with their own story.””
“Several months ago, users on 4chan and Reddit, the online message forums, started using the term NPC to refer to liberals. These people, they said, join the anti-Trump crowd not because they are led by independent thought or conscience to oppose President Trump’s policies, but because they’re brainwashed sheep who have been conditioned to parrot left-wing orthodoxy, in the manner of a scripted character.”
“While watching the VOD later, xQc insinuated that Fortnite pro Bucke was an "NPC" who was only there to defend Tate and not give Piker a fair shot – and what resulted afterward has caused quite a stir in its own right.”
