I could see this going really poorly at first but maturing into an industry standard in the next 5 years.

At first it will be characters talking to you based off what you say to them. Probably executed poorly and with glaring flaws.

If enough R&D is sunk in, it could become really good. Imagine being able to meet characters that are able to pass as an AGI in the context of the world they’re put into. How you could have “real friendships” with characters as you explore the world.

Or imagine Crusader Kings for example where you have your family and all the things that go along with that. Raising kids and marrying spouses that interact with you as if they live in the world you are crafting. Imagine the true rivalries you could have if someone kidnapped your kids or wife and then taunted you in game.

I know I’d have a hard time torturing or imprisoning someone in CK3 if I can have fully coherent conversations with them where they talk about their family and their hardships once’s I invaded their lands and the resulting famine.
