question Shoulder surfing 9yo; Sandbox NPCs and Story Mode

[andrew_robinson]

My 9 year old daughter likes to watch me play TLD. She likes to name the survivors and cheer them on before their inevitable demise (I never said I was any good. We're well on the way to working our way through the alphabet in names ... ). And while TLD is dark, it's a 'pit your wits against nature' kind of dark that's no worse than a traditional fairy story.

The addition of other human NPCs in the Sandbox and in Story mode is likely to change the atmosphere considerably. That trailer was rather graphic! 

So are we going to have the option to keep the world lonely, as is? Having a co-pilot is fun and she's much better at spotting loot based on fleeting glimpses than I am ...
