AI-Directed Worlds
Modern Fallout experiences can use AI directors to balance scarcity, conflict, and discovery. Simulation agents optimize pacing while keeping unpredictability.
Procedural Storytelling
- Quest templates + LLM fills: Structured quest graphs with LLM-generated dialogue variants.
- Faction reputation models: RL agents adjust hostility and trade routes based on player actions.
- Environment reacts: Weather + radiation patterns influence spawn tables and loot quality.
Content Safety and Cohesion
Moderation filters, lore constraints, and semantic similarity checks prevent immersion-breaking generations.
Tooling for Designers
Blender/Unreal plugins to preview AI-authored POIs, with human-in-the-loop approvals and rollback. Telemetry feeds improvement loops.
Performance Considerations
- On-device inference for encounters; cloud for heavy generation.
- Streaming LOD assets; caching dialogue; fallback scripted paths.
Player Impact
More replayable wastelands, emergent faction wars, and personal story arcs that still feel canon-friendly.
