[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 9254718, member: 15882"] I wasn't specifically talking about Skyrim. There's lots of games that have drop-down menus or dialogue boxes that force you to pick a response to an NPC. I'd never thought about the voice actor issue although, if you are designing a game from scratch that uses AI for NPCs, you would bake that into a voice actor's contract. And maybe, on top of having lines, they just say common phrases and words with different inflections that the AI can access.. As far as bloat, I have no idea how much actual data it takes to train an AI or even have one as part of a game. Once it's trained, though, a company could use it for many of its games. They could do it for a single NPC or follower as an experiment. I don't really think it is. Maybe, how it's being used currently it is but, I think, if it's used in a way to enrich humanity as opposed to doing what a lot of corporations are using it for and replacing people all together, then I don't think it's too bad. Not that I want to talk about the ethics of AI as there's piles of threads for that. [/QUOTE]
