I have noted this before (Destiny)

It doesn't hurt to have more scripted encounters. Just seeing npcs in the wild and being able to talk to them is a plus. If all it was was Zevala killing hive outside his starship on titan, or ikora ripping into cabal while you push on, the game works better then just the occasional radio chatter.

I agree. This would have to be limited to private areas, though.

I was thinking more about what I mentioned above: the difficulty of figuring out how a NPC character who is following your fireteam would behave in public spaces that have random activities like public events happening. You could potentially have two different fireteams in the same area with two Zavalas along for the ride. AWKWARD.

This is super easy to fix. Either:

1. Don't match groups with the same NPC together in public spaces.
2. Match them, but have the NPC appear as a normal guardian for the other group.
