Abstract
Providing rich narrative assets for games featuring interactive storytelling is both difficult and expensive. Of particular concern to us is the problem of believability for non-player-characters (NPC) in video games and interactive worlds. In addition to art and voice assets which can be substantial, a good NPC requires narrative assets such as universe-appropriate character background, life history, personality, speech mannerisms and behavioral peculiarities.
