Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm probably going to sound like an armchair developer here, but this isn't really that impressive. Pretty much all they did here was link AI chat responses via speech recognition to an extraordinarily shitty voice and animation system in pretty much static scenes.
It's cool that this might be a thing in the near future, having actual conversations with NPCs instead of just predetermined options and responses, but this needs a lot of work to look and feel less cringe-inducing, and a lot of testing so that the AI doesn't end up giving misleading or false information to players.
