NPCs will not be controlled by a DM like they are in paper games like d&d they will be AI driven. AI is dumb there is always a way to outsmart AI and the players will figure it out quick. Also many NPCs will be unarmed peasants players will get a sword and hack them down then burn their house. the only way to truly police players from doing this is for other players to do it. The only way a player will police other players is if the society they are policing is natural to the game and not an artificial construct dictated by the designers.
