Hey, Tim “Draconi” Cotten here, lead designer on UO: Stygian Abyss. I left a full state machine for NPC acting that works across areaservs in the codebase before I left EA, utilized for the Trial of Ricardo and Sherry the Mouse.
If Mesanna and team left that stuff running it could be easily leveraged for a ChatGPT integration through the outbound API we used for communicating with the external housing system db.
Great work experimenting with this! I literally just patented some related tech and would love to see MMORPGs leverage ChatGPT and Bard for more “living world” NPCs.
If there’s a good non-OSI shard doing this let me know. I want to check it out!
