What kinds of NPCs will I encounter in Telon? *
A wide variety of traditional High Fantasy creatures as well as quite a few original monsters as well.
From the Official Vanguard FAQ (original entry).
Can you tell me about NPC AI? *
NPC AI will be more advanced than seen in previous MMOGs, but the details will be forthcoming.

How will NPC pathing work? Will NPCs get stuck at times? *
They shouldn’t get stuck, no. As opposed to using a pathing system based on designers placing pathing nodes, we've implemented a more advanced algorithmic system that is both more thorough and accurate.

Will you use massively scripted NPC events? *
You bet :) In fact, the author of the famous Ring War quest, Steve Burke, is one of our Senior Designers. He and the other designers feel that with our next generation tools we'll be able to take these events to the next level.

How will we interact with NPCs? *
In all of the traditional ways (talking/hailing, transacting, fighting, as banks, etc.), as well as some new ways. More on this later.

Will there be dragons? *
In the world of Telon many ancient beings lie dormant. Dragons are amongst their numbers.
Will you see a dragon or god walking about the game after starting a new character? Not likely.
Will you slay one before the release of our first expansion? Doubtful, but the challenge will always be there...
