I wish game developers would stop trying to make things “real”

Motherfucker you can make anything your imagination desires with games. If I wanted the real world I’d go outside.

oh cool procedurally generated dialogue

just what i always wanted after playing skyrim’s hit and critically acclaimed radiant quests

When the shopkeeper hits you with “I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy”

This is how Ubisoft employees talk to each other.

I like the idea of NPCs being able to give dynamic answers to questions, but that’s only gonna work as a small detail to flesh out a fictional world. It would be nice if I could ask a guard in Skyrim for directions to some place and they’re able to respond, but I really don’t want my story to be written by generative AI

As a Large Super Mutant, I must respectfully request that you disclose the location of your Vault.

I know how to make LLM cards. My job really wants me to learn “AI” and so in my downtime around the office, I’ve been figuring out how to jailbreak and make character cards for various models. I’ve only been doing this for a few months, and decided to run a Shadowrun campaign completely text based with LLM card NPCs and holy shit are they so much better than this. And I’m just using publicly available models and cobbling together stuff with limited knowledge. Wild.

“Hi, you must be Neslon! I can’t believe you’re finally here! I’m Bloom, your future teammate in the Resistance, by the way. I figured out we could spend some time together to check if we have a compatible vibe. You know, to build our dynamic duo. How does that sound to you?”

Plot twist: the character in this scene is an undercover cop and the dialogue is actually extremely realistic.
