Comment on What is immersion to you?

I didn’t realise you were an Anomaly enjoyer! I love that game too, between the mood and the atmosphere, the hunger/thirst/sleep system along with the FDDA animations and of course Alife I think Anomaly is one of the most immersive games for me.
I’ve actually been working on a mod lately that uses AI to produce dynamic dialogue for NPCs in Anomaly, which leads to even more immersion.

Yeah, old stalker here, I stopped playing just before GAMMA came out. Still biding my time to return to the zone someday, still waiting for GSC to fix the second game. Meanwhile, I will miss my hunting trips at Darkscape until a blowout starts when I am in the middle of nowhere and crap my pants.
The mod sounds nice, sounds like it will give more flavour to companions, will Hip get more dialogue? xD

Well, that’s the nice thing about using AI for this, she can have unlimited dialogue - as can anyone else in the game. You can talk to anyone and have full conversations with them, and they have a working memory too. Your companions have unique personalities and unique random backstories and even some character development.
