Lots of good suggestions here, I'll add Blender. For artsy oriented models, and there is a 3d print add-on with a few cool features.

Cool video that show the potential. Add different voices and vocabulary levels and it become quite interesting. Maiq would be great liar.

Valid questions. There are many issues to distinguish in your question.
AI is Theft, Popular models are fed stolen content. I agree. They should be sued for all they they have. Either pay or make them a world heritage, open to all without fees.

Why NPC dialog and not models or asset? Assets and world building are designed one an usually fixed. Which make sense the world is a fixed space with fixed rules. Having AI generated scripts for NPC would fall in the same category and that is not what I would try. What I expect are au powered well crafted personages that live in that world. Rondo that you still need good writers, to create the persona background and goals and quirks to make it interesting to interact with. Your companion can only be sworn to carry your burden so many times. Charisma and factions stats become way more engaging etc. AI is also not limited to LLM and generative, having a faction figuring out that some sneaky bastard is robbing them could trigger them to plant honey pots to try and catch you. Ennemies learning would be cool

any name I can take a look at? I'm curious to see it.

I would play a game with ai NPCs. Not the artwork but the mechanic. You could run hundreds of interqctable characters with simple prompts that states ztheir goals and personalities. Like a modern radiant ai.

With a title that good I will actively avoid reading it and make my own explanation. Much funnier.

There is value in AI, blindly rejecting all use is just as stupid as blindly embracing all uses. Teacher are especially important in shaping how the next generation will be using it. They are at the front, discovering how students uses it what is good and what is bad. Finding way to improve their teaching is a good use. Saving time grading is a bad use.

Which ai service to use or not and why is another important facet. A trustworthy service can enshitify real fast, teaching what to look for is also something necessary. Nobody is fully competent in that matter, it still need to be discovered.

Do you need to be involved much in multiplayer to enjoy the game or is it possible to just mind your own business without much interaction

What should I get? I'm back on Morrowind from a bout of dwarf fortress. A modern Morrowind would be perfect. But not oblivion I need something fresh. I've been eyeing start citizen but the reviews are really lackluster especially about the thing I care about.

Actual medals don't mean much anymore either.

Moose in heat living in my belly.

Now you got me wondering what OS runs the Strategic Maple syrup reserve.
