Software Somebody make this: An LLM that turns all the lore you collect in RPGs into an interactive, spoiler-free storyteller Spoiler
I love adventure games and RPGs with deep lore, but I have one problem: I absolutely hate stopping every five minutes to read two pages of some ancient journal, book, or random note I found in a dungeon.
I’m the type of player who will collect EVERY lore item I come across, but realistically, I’m not going to sit there and read all of them.
Here’s what I want: An LLM integrated directly into a game’s lore system.
Imagine playing something like Skyrim, Elden Ring, The Witcher, or Baldur’s Gate. Every book, journal, letter, inscription, and piece of lore you collect gets added to an AI-powered knowledge base.
Instead of reading everything individually, you could:
Ask questions naturally: “Who is this guy everyone keeps mentioning?” or “Why are these two factions fighting?”
Get the interesting stuff: Have the AI pull out the coolest stories, hidden connections, and important details from everything you’ve collected.
Connect lore to the main story: After a major cutscene or quest, ask, “What lore have I found that makes this moment more meaningful?”
Avoid spoilers: The AI only knows what you’ve discovered and experienced so far. It can’t reveal anything you haven’t unlocked.
Get immersive explanations: Maybe the AI even takes on the personality of an in-game historian, companion, or storyteller rather than sounding like ChatGPT.
The biggest thing for me is contextual storytelling.
I don’t necessarily want a summary of every book I pick up. I want the game to recognize when something I’ve collected is relevant to what’s happening and help me appreciate it.
Imagine finishing a huge boss fight and having the option to ask, “Okay, what was that guy’s deal?” and getting a fascinating two-minute explanation that connects the fight to five different pieces of lore you collected over the last 20 hours.
Or having an AI companion casually mention some obscure historical detail you uncovered that completely changes how you interpret a cutscene.
I feel like there’s an incredible amount of worldbuilding in these games that most players never fully experience because it’s buried in hundreds of pages of optional reading.
I want to experience the depth of the world without having to stop playing the game to do homework.
Has anyone seen a game or mod attempting something like this? Because I would absolutely love it.
P.S. Yes this was made with AI. Sue me.
