Game devs will still provide structure, "this big baddie is trying to do X, there's this mysterious treasure over here". But the guard rails will be gone, and there will be a real world to explore, not just cutscenes to sit through.

You can’t unlock the guard rails without making the general story completely arbitrary. It’s just not possible.
That's the exact promise. BotW has a main story, but it's not where the real fun is. The game devs will still write some overarching plot for people that want that, but you can just ignore that and live your own story.
There will also be a lot of fun in seeing how far you can stretch the original story to its breaking point, like how people enjoy breaking Skyrim with too many mods. Testing the limits is the fun. "What if I defeated Ganon by taming an army of crabs?"
BotW’s appeal is not the story. It’s definitely not the dialogue. It’s about exploring a carefully planned world full of goodies. Not a shitty LLM procedurally generated one that goes forever. And DEFINITELY not a run time generated one.
This is such a stupidly thought out vision. BotW is a beautiful game that emphasizes minimalism and simplicity and you’re wanting to cram shit like this in.
You can’t do those things because that’s not what the game is about. And if you could do those things, it would be a different fucking game, and the magicalness of the world and the ingenuity of its game mechanics would become nothing compared to your “limitless player narrative agency”
I think your takes suck and have no basis in the reality of plausible to implement technology but this one really crosses the line of just being irritating to imagine asking for. This is the polar opposite of BotW’s design thesis and I hate you for tainting it.
LOL, calm down mate. Fwiw, I've read your back and forth with the GP and I'm much more excited with their vision than yours.
Anyone with any imagination can see that LLMs are the future of story telling.
You can rage all you want, but progress will march on without you.
