That the rage for IA is absolute is well known. Midjourney is the best example of how to generate debate and art in equal parts, while ChatGPT it has become a popular hobby that opens the door for unexpected features. One of them is their introduction to the world of video games and how they can replace the programmed dialogues for the NPCs.
This is what modder Bloc has achieved in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, the strategy RPG from TaleWorlds Entertainment released last month. The information that the inhabitants of the title usually offer is simply contextual with respect to the world in which they live, with no possibility of response in most cases. Bloc has managed to turn the tables completely.
Now the NPCs answer the questions we ask them, whatever they are, we can write them without problem. The truth is that the result is really good, because we can see that a blacksmith is capable of offering a detailed description of his work and how he carries out his profession. However, in this formula, Bloc has added a “custom story engine”, which is responsible for offering a profile for each character that does not have it in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
Obviously, there are many aspects to polish, since the answers take time to generate and it is true that the answers can feel unnatural at times. We are talking about a fan project, but in the case of Justice Online Mobile we mean professional work.
The MMO of the future, but today
Just like says analyst Daniel AhmadIt is MMO emerged from NetEase incorporates ChatGPT between your system. The result is the same as Bloc intended, because here we get unique reactions for each interaction with the characters. In fact, it goes further, since each of the texts will have its own voice and it will even be possible to interact with our voice.
A fun example of how this tool can be used in Justice Online Mobile is that if we tell a character that his house is burning, he will run towards it to save it. NetEase’s plans with the AI are much more ambitious, wanting to extend the possibilities to the generation of missions, character customization and content creation of all kinds.
