    Those are not my ONLY issues, no. They’re the most egregious for a videogame right now, but the entire concept is just … Fluff for no reason other than to list “AI NPCs” on the box.

    Paying for more writers is simply better all around.

      And do you believe paying for more writers will remain a better option for the foreseeable future?

      I don’t get it. Actually well working AI NPCs sound fucking amazing. To have an actual conversation about anything in the game by typing your questions? That’s like the wet dream of an RPG.

      Have writers write the background info, some lore stuff, “books” about stuff in the game etc.

      I want to have a conversation with all the NPCs and choose from four premade questions about a quest I am on.

      And yes, obviously they have to work well or they’re extremely awkward and anti-immersive.
