I don’t really have input about the difficulty level, but man I wish I had people to sit around a firepit with and talk about Baldurs Gate haha!
I have to tell you it is the high light of the week. Sit with my best friend since high school and his sons plus occasionally others, all gamers. We talk politics, PCs, General Gaming and of course DnD. I introduced my best friend to DnD in 1979, we have been playing together in one form or another since. MANY tabletop and computer games. Then of course he got his boys playing with us and so on
So once a week; we grab a nice cigar, glass of brandy and then sit around just chilling for 2 to 3 hours.
For example implementation of a better AI like chagpd whould be cool and whould solve so many problems.
It whould be playing aganst a chess ai. Actually that's hard.
But the main issue that is preventing larian to do this is steam.
From steam all ai powered games are banned. An on steam they sold approximately 11 mill + copies. I doubt that they will risk this.
Mybe with the new Microsoft changes, the industry will have more open mind regarding an ai implementation.
That doesn't mean that they need to kick out ppl from the dev team. But they have two choices work on it or implement ai.
They choose non of them so technically implementing an ia will not rob any ones job.
I am not sure the Steam limitations are in the manner we are discussing. Steam is trying to stop AI "created" games. Games using an AI to power the NPCs or for randomization of none AI created material, would likely be allowed.
