| 7.10. Character Emotion

In a complex story, characters may evolve strong feelings about the player. Often we want to hint at the character's feelings through gesture and tone of voice - little things woven into dialogue and action sequences that might otherwise be unchanged. Ferragamo Again demonstrates creating phrases to give all our characters different ways to express their irritation at the player.

Then again, sometimes a discussion might produce quite spectacular results if a character is in the wrong mood. Being Peter shows the bare bones of an implementation in which a character's attitude rulebook is consulted to determine what her response will be - allowing for arbitrarily complicated outcomes.
