Imagine living for 28 years, finishing school, starting a career and a family, then one day at work you discover you're a random enemy in an FPS game and the player shows up.

@brody I have a t-shirt that in large print and some warning-bar graphics identifies me as an essential NPC whose survival is integral to quest completion. It then goes on to explain that I am not carrying much gold or any unique clothing or weapons.

So far, it has kept me safe from player characters. So far.
