Info-Logo.png Note: This part of my overarching revamp suggestion. This page is a suggested means to make NPCs feel more alive.

Since Nightfall, the idea of NPCs having shouts as they are aggroed has been increasing. Kournan military NPCs have them, as do Eye of the North charr, and Ministry of Purity foes (and perhaps more).

These shouts make them feel more alive, however, I would go further than a shout-when-aggroed. I would like to also suggest lists for when they're idle, when they're simply walking around, and when you're within longbow/spirit range. In regards to the later, an example would be in Riverside Province when the Watchtower Guards shout out an alarm, to with the other NPCs are programmed to converge then spread out before converging again then returning to their previous patrols.

Quotes like these would make the NPCs feel much more alive. It's nothing important, but would be a fun cosmetic addition to the game.

Note: A problem with one of the pre-existing NPCs that have these shouts are the Kournans who stop moving in order to do an /emote when they talk. Likewise, the biggest issue to this suggestion would be the localization.
