A new mod for Skyrim revolutionizes the gameplay of the title and offers unprecedented immersion in Borderciel.

Skyrim is one of the most modified games in the history of video games, ranking first and second on the “Nexus Mods” website, a famous website known for being able to modify its titles. In 2023 it is possible to install hundreds of graphical modifications to make the software as beautiful as the last Triple A when Skyrim is almost 12 years old.

If all this is possible, it is thanks to the community of enthusiasts of this fifth installment of the Elder Scrolls, those lovers of the universe who continue to develop the title from year to year.

Among the many examples of extremely ambitious mods, we mention the mod that recreated the world of the first Dark Souls and integrated it into the game, a mod that is still under development. However, the mod that interests us here completely revolutionizes the way we interact with NPCs in Skyrim. A modification that already existed in Mount & Blade and that allowed us to ask written questions to NPCs in the game and also answered us in writing using data from the Mount & Blade world.

A new mod for Skyrim allows you to rediscover this classic in a new way!

“Hello, my dear.”

Modders have used this base from Mount & Blade to combine it with several artificial intelligence tools. Result : You can verbally chat with NPCs directly in Skyrim, and logically they will reply to you verbally as well. This technical feat is achieved with “WhisperAI”, which analyzes your speech and then converts it into text, which it then sends to ChatGPT. Then it’s another artificial intelligence tool called “XVASynth” that synthesizes the voice and accents depending on the character you’re talking to in-game.

This mod is reminiscent of the video that NVIDIA shared just over a month ago that presented the future of role-playing, where we could interact orally and chat with NPCs. A movement that is obviously causing great anxiety in the studios, as it represents a major upheaval for multiple professions, from screenwriters to quest designers. The arrival of AI and its revolution will inevitably see studios evolve and adapt.
