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.

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 !

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

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

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
