Skyrim Player Uses ChatGPT AI To Generate New Quests

gamerant.com:

A Skyrim player has released a video where they exclusively beat quests generated and written by AI. The player combines AI with mods to produce one of the most creative Skyrim challenges seen to date.

It's been over a decade since Skyrim's initial release, and the community is still finding remarkably creative ways to play the game. Whether it's by creative challenges like this, or through the use of mods, fans have mastered the art of making Skyrim exactly what they want it to be. A recent mod even turned Skyrim's Whiterun completely pink, in a Barbie-esque makeover. That level of customization is what has kept fans playing all these years later, and there's no indication of it slowing down any time soon.

Skyrim Player Gets Two-Handed to Level 100 in Most Messed Up Way Possible

This AI-generated playthrough was created by YouTuber Joov, who uses ChatGPT to generate prompts for quests that are possible in-game. It takes a lot of refining, but eventually Joov gets prompts interesting enough to use, with the AI initially struggling to generate anything beyond a basic fetch quest. Skyrim's radiant quest system already does the same thing, so Joov had to get creative to receive more complex tasks from the AI. It's great to see new technology continuing to allow for innovation in older games. One Skyrim fan even used AI to create a voiced protagonist, which brings the divisive Fallout 4 feature back to another of Bethesda's titles.

Joov does use a few mods in order to enhance the experience. He uses the "Skyrim World" Randomizer mod to randomly change door destinations, as well as the «Shadow of Skyrim» mod, which adds a Shadow of Mordor-esque Nemesis system to the game to add an extra layer of difficulty to the challenge.
