I don’t like one use-case so the whole thing is essentially bad for the industry

Your second statement highlights that there is indeed value to be found here yet ultimately you call it a “wast” of time

You’re the one that controls how long you talk to them, you’re the one asking them about meaningless filler at some point, it’s not like you’re being held at gunpoint. Also let’s not pretend every game is going to integrate this to the point where you have to fuck with an npc to find some piece of lore or whatever. Just as flavor to deepen existing layers of story telling and world building.

Let’s not attack the tech and instead uphold the creators to a better standard on how to integrate this kind of thing
