Yes. And no.

Ai can be more limited and setup for more specific purposes. This is possible with the current GPT-3 architecture with decent results.

But there are two problems:

First is that it needs to be trained and designed in a way that supports this more limited scope, which given most games is beyond the capability of the lore to have enough material to train an ai without the character getting access to information that they shouldn't know while still having enough material to make it coherent without just quoting. And yes, this does include Elder Scrolls. Even with the material, this is a long and expensive process, and usually easier to just code the dialogues you want that they want. Have to remember, it isn't just the AI outputting text, but also understanding players that may not always have the correct vernacular or method of talking.

Second, either the ai needs to connect to a service, which can lead to a variety of issues, or it needs to be run locally. With it being run locally, there are significant hardware requirements that make even a simpler model AI more demanding than what most gamers have access to. To add both the AI and the game in the same computer would make the demands even higher. So, running it as a service is the more viable option. But as a server side thing it has a higher delay, is more subject to moderation, in addition to being a continual cost for the company. Which doesn't bode well when most games as a service don't last a year.

But this is all subject to change. A more specialized ai could have lower requirements and be designed in a way to have both a larger language model with more limited knowledge libraries instead of a singular general knowledge set. A company could develop such a lightweight AI to multiple developers to make it cheaper and more unified.

If you have a PC, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal are on Xbox Game Pass.

Try them out if you want. Personally, I'd go for P5. It's pretty much the quintessential Persona game, refining the style, music, and gameplay of the series. Story is the usual thing with Persona (and you also don't need to play the old games to get this one, apart from Easter Eggs scattered about and a small twist late in the game that you MIGHT suspect coming), but the theme centers around "rebels" of society (and in a society like Japan where the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, there are plenty of ways someone can become a "rebel" due to outside forces).

If you're into turn-based combat on one half of the game and Sims-like third-person gameplay in the other half, then try this out for yourself.

There will be cosmetic mtx and a battle pass. They have stated explicitly that there will be absolutely no purchasable game changing items, including an XP boost. The XP boost that comes with the paid season pass is also available for the free version. Paid version has cosmetics you can unlock.

Expecting Egypt to be next, but secretly hoping for some sort of detour that drops Kratos into Aztec lands.

The Aztec pantheon has some mean dudes in there and I cannot wait for Kratos to show them why crossing him isn't healthy.

Also: Nice work OP, really feeling this poster, well done!

5 is great because of the cult/psychedelic new world religion antagonist which makes his self-righteous stance pretty interesting. The graphics and setting are very beautiful too. Montana is gorgeous.

Crafting is not an attack, throwing is a ranged attack. Yes, there are other mechanics, sorry you missed the specifics about the melee combat. Game was still lazy, but go off. Some people like trash, it’s your right.
