Although it can't be interacted with, it will periodically say one of the headlines, which give insights to nearby players about the world and setting of the game. The Newscaster model is similar to the [[Shopkeeper]]. The Newscaster also narrates the in-game tutorial. | | In game it is featured as a stall full of newspapers with a fortune teller head playing headlines on the speaker. |
