Ever wanted to chat with NPCs from your favorite games? We invited you to discover this feature through Golf+ And behold, the fantasy of voice chatting with NPCs in Skyrim VR will soon be made possible !
Art_from_the_machine, a user of Reddit, just announced a mod for the game Skyrim VR, which allows via the implementation of ChatGPT and a voice synthesis tool (xVASynth) chat with game characters. The language model remains in its 3.5 version, because the new version (4.0), although more powerful, also takes far too long to respond to make discussions pleasant. Here is how the author presents his solution:
NPCs are now aware of their current location and time of day. This opens up many possibilities for characters to react to the game world dynamically instead of waiting for the player’s response.
This opens up a field of unimaginable possibilities. where traders would no longer try to trade with players if their shops are closed, where NPCs would notice player actions (loot a chest, pick a flower) and adapt their dialogues accordingly, or even comment on their actions . For now, each NPC receives an individually prepared invitation to help them “step into their role”.
As we envisioned for arthur, the response time of the NPCs is masked by a famous “let me think”, a roundabout way to make the wait more realistic and less constraining, although we would have liked gestures or gestures of reflection so as not to suffer the sentence with each question. To note that lip synchronization is on point, essential not to break the immersion. Be careful however, don’t be fooled by the video above for what is in discussion, the developer, hating his own voice during the recording, preferred to replace it with a computer voice.
The community of Skyrim VR is in turmoil, THE modders of flat2VR offered to help in their own way Art_from_the_machinein particular through the use of the interface Elevenlabs.iowhich would allow the use of voices of such quality that it would not be possible to differentiate them from a real human voice.
