Damaged Roads is the latest party-based RPG launched by Australian studio Drop Bear Bytes.

There are distant mother and father, egotistical buffoons, narcissistic mercenaries, and unfeeling killers out on the roads.

As the sport’s narrative designer, I’ve labored with the workforce to select just some of the NPCs we like to hate, and offer you a style of a number of the characters you’ll meet in our post-apocalyptic world.
Louise Evans
As a meat and produce service provider for the farming city of Aldersyde, Louise Evans has by no means been shy about saying what she thinks in essentially the most uncharming, inflammatory approach potential. Louise has all the time thought of everybody to be beneath her, particularly her son, Charlie, and his run-away father. She solely ordered the Alderman of Aldersyde to take over the city’s management as a result of she acquired sick of the farmers and their limitless whinging.
Louise by no means needed to remain in Aldersyde, and when you ask her, it was all Charlie’s fault that she was even on this dung-smelling city to start with. To Louise, Charlie is spineless, ineffective, and a waste of house.
Louise is a (not so) shining determine of motherhood and kindness on the earth of Damaged Roads. And, relying in your selections, you could get to debate the moralities of parenthood and what it means to be a ‘good dad or mum’.
Malcolm Hogan
Malcolm Hogan, of the Hogan Home in Merredin, is a boastful man who has solely gotten up to now in life due to nepotism. If he was outdoors the partitions of Merredin, somebody would’ve shut his gob with a bullet a very long time in the past.
Malcolm is all the time scheming and looking out for a lackey he can use to strengthen his election marketing campaign towards Governor Angela Smith. He’s a person who depends on confidence and “allure” to cowl up his stupidity and lack of ability to essentially do something proper, in addition to getting on everybody’s unhealthy facet.
You’ll have a number of possibilities to morally agree or query Malcolm’s schemes and who he might or will not be benefitting together with his selections that might change the whole lot of Merredin. Vote for Hogan!
Ian Mason
The chief of the aptly named ‘Mason Gang’, Ian is the sleaziest of all of them and would win first place 5 years in a row for the “most punchable face” award. A mercenary for rent, Ian is a narcissist who thinks everybody who doesn’t kiss his ft is jealous of him and desires him lifeless.
In actuality, ‘Deadeye Mason’ as he’s referred to as by everybody else (and never for his marksmanship), is the butt of everybody’s jokes and is just alive as a result of nobody reckons he’s definitely worth the bullet. Alive or lifeless, Ian Mason is a waste of house, by and thru.
You should use your Ethical Leaning on the Ethical Compass to intimidate him and focus on the that means of contracts and obligations with him, although it could be extra of a one-sided dialog.
James Wakefield
James Wakefield is a foul omen. Beneath all his bravado is a merciless man who kills with out mercy, and it’s completed within the identify of his dwelling metropolis, Brookton.
The issue is, his unwavering loyalty to his folks is the entire motive Brookton went up in smoke. If something, the Brookton townsfolk ought to be grateful they acquired James knocking at their door: at the very least he killed them shortly.
Relying on how hellbent you’re on discovering him, you could simply get the prospect to place up your fists and settle the rating
These are just some of the colourful characters you’ll have to maintain an eye fixed out for throughout your time with Damaged Roads. We will’t wait to see who else will get on our participant’s nerves, and hope you loved this look into the varieties of those that make up our narrative.
