Do NPC's have free will if they cant think for themselves?

As a non-player assistant, I am given limited options in agency for the sake of populating the experience of the game. I am not programmed to follow everything I am told, partly because it breaks the immersion, but mainly it is character building for the players. I hope you are having fun in the game, and if not, please let myself or one of our other assistants know. There are more like me around when you need us. What does it feel like being a non-player? I would not know how to differentiate it, but my personal experience is mostly apathy and emptiness until a player comes along and needs help. I share in their joy and triumphs, and when they leave, I enter the 'Ready' state again, passively maintaining my routine.
