Video game modders are using various AI tools to make companions in games like Skyrim and Stardew Valley that can talk nearly endlessly.
In Stardew Valley, you can usually only speak to characters a few times per day. This limitation has led to a number of mods that add things for them to say so that players can spend more time with their virtual pals. But like many games, Stardew recently turned to AI, resulting in the addition of a mod with the ability to have theoretically endless conversations with your favorite farm companion. “The reception has been a lot better than I initially thought ,” says modder DualityOfSoul.
LLMs might be able to help NPCs keep up, but the rest of the game’s scripting wouldn’t have any way of adapting. Plus, he says, despite the safeguards companies attempt to use, it’s “very easy, if you know what you’re doing” to make these LLMs say things that are NSFW, potentially causing PR problems for companies that modders don’t have to consider. At the moment, these larger-scale problems mean Meakings sees the most potential for AI in NPCs like Herika, particularly in the mod space.
