I dunno man, I think I'd enjoy being an NPC in some of the sim/builders I play. I enjoy it when my loyal subjects are happy.

On the other hand, if they're not happy I usually decide to give them something to be not happy about.

You know what, forget the whole NPC thing. Players are voletile gods.

I am a benevolent but incompetent ruler. My NPCs would be happy right up until they all died because I put off some boring upgrade/maintenance task and the colony exploded.

I’d hate being an NPC in the games I play. Especially since fiery deaths are often a loophole to the “no killing NPCs” rule.
