open world video games with lots of npcs

Do people really want that? I feel like what often makes a game good is a tight experience, not added bloat.
It depends on how it’s implemented. Maybe you could train mmo npcs in this and make it fun but I agree I expect this to simply generate a dumpster fire experience
I think companies are worried about how unpredictable and abusable this currently is. Imagine how parents feel when their 12 year old jailbreaks an npc and starts having explicit conversations with it.
Theoretically yes idk about reality. Could be just as bad as a procedurally generated wasteland
