I wonder what other NPCs there are because I know there are more, or how else would you get one of those Laser Guns it shows in the trailer.

It's a found item, according to the devs. You can't craft it and you can't buy it. You can only buy the ammo for it when you've found it.

As to the other NPCs, I'd bet there's a Corruption NPC. Probably some sort of Alchemist or Wizard. NPCs are just vendors, so far, and the Nurse. Maybe in time we could have guards. Aw man, that would be sweet.

Well, apparently we'll be able to get useless villagers, and meatshields are kinda similar to guards...

Guards that just kill the trash near your house and leave resources for you to collect would be nice though.

Kool, and I agree with Soulwynd I mean if we have Laser Guns we should get Turrets but for like 2 Gold Coins Each.( That won't be hard to get if we all focus on getting money. )

Its got Sci-Fi, Horror, SUrvival, and several other Elements now all it needs is a bit of DF in it, and some Drunk Dwarves, and we got a game that is made for us.

Well, there are floating islands above the whole landscape.

It wouldn't be hard to do a background and lighting shift as you build above that, until you're looking at a starry background and building to a floating orb of rock in space.

Of course that would require the maps being even taller than they are now, or sacrificing the underground.

Same here. Imagine if eventually you could enter space... That might kill it for some people, but it would give you more stuff to do.
Also would help shake the Mc comparisons more, even though I think if you are comparing them at this point you are missing the point.

It'd be sort of interesting if the world was expanded both upwards and downwards, with unique biomes for said areas (Space, Hell). It's a generic idea and incredibly flawed from a development and memory management stand-point, but it's still fun to imagine the possibilities. Turrets would be neat, but I can already see it being used to destroy bosses unless they both require tons of money/resources AND have mediocre firepower. I guess they wouldn't really have to be too strong considering enemies just sort of stand at your entrance and wait for you to open the door, but unless they're limited in number in some way it would be too easy to make a gigantic turret battery for bosses.

Huh. I think I was up to part eight. I'm loving Terraria, but I seriously don't want to watch nearly four more hours of LP. Guess I'll stick to the dev LPs.
