    Yeah but thinking people tried to tie the elder scrolls lore in to something semi-coherent, generating a lot of the most interesting concepts in the setting along the way. A language model just spits out strings of words with no semantic meaning. The LLMs can spit out marxist sounding gibberish because they're re-mixing the contents of untold millions of lines of text scraped from the internet. The LLM has a vast amount of information from which to cobble together a mockery of human speech.

    For an elder scrolls game you're not going to have that. you're going to have a few hundred pages from the books, and whatever additional information the writing team comes up with. It's going to be far, far more restrictive. The LLM can't make things up, it can only repeat variations of what's in it's model. It has no self awareness, introspection or reflection so at most they'd be able to hack together a very limited way to keep it's responses consistent across multiple NPCs.

    These things are very limited. I know people are having fun reading the text they spit out, but the number of people who still think the LLMs can determine the truth value of the statements it generates or "know" what its talking about is frightening.
