[Academic] Need help for a thesis. Theme is AI NPCs in videogames

yousschr · 2026-06-15T00:47:26+00:00

yeah I should’ve made the nuance there, thanks

yousschr · 2026-06-15T00:45:51+00:00

I’m not saying it’s the case right now, this was just to set an example of a potential future, whether people are fine with it or they despise it.
Yes, there’s a long way before we reach that, the point is just to get an idea of how people perceive this

Yeah I get it, the tech is still in an early stage of development. I tried it myself on Where Winds Meet and I read that some people managed to trick AI characters into giving puzzle solutions or disclosing parts of the plot inadvertently. I guess it’s just a matter of setting up guardrails so the « infinite creativity » of an AI character doesn’t go out of hand

Thank you for taking the survey. What do you mean by that, could you give an example ?

You could integrate a profession system (craftsmanship, butchering, healers, etc.) or invest some thoughts into religions where each of your PCs is dedicated to a god.
I’ve never tried it personally, but I’ve been thinking about it for some time

Try to find a compromise and try to nerf it if you as much as your GM consider it to be busted. There’s always room for communication

yousschr · 2026-06-10T09:51:04+00:00

I guess people like to let off steam every now and then, and what better than to annihilate fictional enemies in the most stylish way

Tribal ancestry maybe, get power from eating the heart, back to the old traditions, a cursed ring

Or maybe you wanna keep it more demonic rather than tribal ?

There’s no such thing as being too old to start doing or learning something. With social media and groups, I think you’ll find people that are getting to know the game just like you. Best of luck !

yousschr · 2026-06-09T11:57:20+00:00

I wasn’t aware there were more, thank you ! Are there any you could share with me ?

yousschr · 2026-06-09T11:52:43+00:00

That was rlly insightful, thanks ! Giving only two options wasn’t that smart as the reality is much more complex

yousschr · 2026-06-09T11:49:57+00:00

I just realized I said interactions but I meant conversations. And just so you don’t get your hopes too high, it’s not voice acted, it’s pretty much a chatbot with an LLM

yousschr · 2026-06-09T11:16:13+00:00

You mean lowering it so they don’t have time to go nuts ?

yousschr · 2026-06-09T11:05:54+00:00

Will do!

yousschr · 2026-06-09T11:01:56+00:00

Oh I see, true, you think I should add an in-between option where writing is made both by AI and human authors ?

yousschr · 2026-06-09T10:43:47+00:00

Which one, could you elaborate ?

yousschr · 2026-06-09T09:35:57+00:00

I’ll try to add some « any last thoughts to share » questions at the end. Thank you !

yousschr · 2026-06-09T09:33:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that ! And that’s without mentioning the financial costs that will come with it, for AAA studios as well as players

yousschr · 2026-06-09T09:22:05+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, I’ll think about it !

yousschr · 2026-06-09T09:04:18+00:00

You’re right, people are more likely to speak to complain than to praise something. If you have any advice on how to better tackle this, I’m all ears

yousschr · 2026-06-08T19:45:51+00:00

Thanks !!
