Sounds like those crappy Police Quest games.
Not exactly as you think. Again, this was only part of it. I had a 12 page essay on just ideas alone. I have yet to not raise eyebrows to people who have seen the whole story. There are no missions. The game creates its own problems. Have you seen a real cop? Take real life, now stick it in game. This idea would be more of 'future cop' simulator than a game. And most of the programing is time consuming, but achievable. To create a single individual to have its own variables ex: police respect, what sets him off, smiles alot, does have temper with females etc. If I created a town that has every charecter have its own behavior trait, then this is achievable. I thought at one time to create a drop down list for you to choose from in order to talk to people, but I would litterly have to install a law book etc. The idea is different. Because we did it with the Sims (the game) I just have to amplify that, and change some variables. But like I said, I can't achieve some of these functions, because they arn't fully available yet. I could start a cheap one though. And if we thought some ideas wern't achievable, like 10 years ago, then we all would of thought John was crazy for the Naked Wars. And look how that came out. A master peice.
