How to Handle NPC Encounters on the Train

Interacting with Strange Characters

During your expedition through the train cars, you will periodically encounter unique NPCs and strange characters stationed inside the carriages. These individuals are part of the train's shifting population, but they do not all share the same motives.

Differentiating Friendly and Hostile Encounters

• Approach with Caution: When you enter a carriage containing an unfamiliar character, keep your weapons ready. Some figures want to assist you on your journey, while others will immediately or eventually become aggressive.
• Talk to Potential Allies: Engage in conversation with non-hostile characters you meet along the way. Helpful NPCs can offer interactions, guidance, or details that aid your survival.
• Extract Dialogue and Stories: Talking to the train's inhabitants reveals critical narrative details about past riders, shedding light on the lore of the train as it barrels through space and time.
• Eliminate Hostile NPCs: If an encounter turns combative, defeat the hostile character before attempting to unlock or pass through the doors to the subsequent car.
