>>439703it's slightly different to me. lemmings, sheep, and other synonym represent animals who can be guided. ideas about shepherd leading the flock have always existed. jesus even calls himself the good shepherd meaning all christian are sheep…
animals are just animals they eat, sleep, and respond like you'd expect. there's no mystery or meta involves. npc though mimic human behavior but they're not sentient. they're programmed by something but who knows? not themselves and judging by how unhinged their thoughts are not society or regular humans. so it's like an npc who just has the same response but how did he get that response? it's a mystery.
