Why Immersive AI Characters Are Essential to Next-Gen Gaming

Are you tired of one-dimensional video game characters that don't respond to your actions or decisions? I believe making immersive AI characters could bring a change to the industry: 1. Unprecedented immersion: NPCs can create a world that feels more real than ever before. When an NPC reacts to your actions in a natural way, it adds a level of immersion that can't be matched by scripted characters. 2. Endless replayability: With AI characters, no two playthroughs have to be the same. The same NPC could have a different response to your actions, making every experience unique. 3. Increased emotional investment: When an AI character reacts to your decisions, you feel more invested in them. It's not just about completing a quest or defeating a boss; it's about the impact your actions have on the world and its inhabitants. 4. A more dynamic game world: NPCs that evolve over time can create a world that feels more alive and dynamic. They can adapt to changes in the game world and provide a level of realism that has never been seen before. Immersive AI characters aren't just a gimmick. They have the potential to change the way we experience open-world RPGs, FPS, and pet games. So, let's push for feature-rich NPCs and see where it takes us! Lemme know your thoughts...

Isn't it funny that there's so many memes about NPCs acting stupid, and yet nothing seems to be changing? The quality of NPCs in general (minus a few high-$$$ exceptions like RDD2/TLOU2) doesn't seem to get much better ...
