Characters
Characters, or NPCs (Non-Player Characters) when not referring to the player, are an important part of the world in Outward. By interacting with NPCs and exploring their dialogue, the player can learn Skills, buy and sell various Items, partake in Quests, and learn about Lore and the world. Most NPCs are members of one of the major Factions.
For information about the player character from a game-mechanics perspective, see Attributes.
