AI is the final frontier for gaming. Graphics are good, Frame rates are good. Open worlds are good. The one thing that hasnt been tackled yet is AI. Imagine if Bethesda puts ChatGPT type brains into the NPC, robots, computer terminals making the games more self aware and interactive. It doesnt have to be the entire neural network and ChatGPT knowledge data base but at least the FallOut universe.

sadly the Fens Sherriff Dept. doesn't work correctly for me, in spite of doing all the quests outside the door, they still don't let me in. Also all of the dialogue is blank within the options menu.

@@mattparker9726 That really is unfortunate. I finished the main quest lines and like it a lot. Especially how you destroy the Institute and RR.

Fallout4's biggest problem is that on gamepass pc version, there is an explosion glitch that renders large areas of the game unplayable. It persists through reloading saves, so if it occurs you have to go back to a save before the infinite explosion loop and hope whatever caused it doesn't do it again. It appears that explosives get stuck in map and then keep triggering indefinitely. Please help, I just want a full playthrough without it becoming unplayable.

@@camplays487 do you have YUP installed?

I was looking for this

that was amazing.. are those kinda moves in the base game or is that from a mod? I've never noticed anything like that happen lol

Base game lol, happens when the damage is enough to one shot and has a chance to do a random kill move

Came here to make sure this was said 😂

That's a chokeslam. Honestly surprised that Darla's got that CQC on lockdown.

​@chaserseven2886 that's Johnny sins :/

Probably won't need to imagine at some point.

Also, tell her I still want my dinner on the table once you're done with her.

bro i made a bunch of renowned mod missions for a game called Arma back in the day i searched through countless files of ingame voice lines for things that would fit my goal. With the tools available today its just a click of a button away its so crazy

And terrifying that it's possible

Not long before somebody creates a racism mod and just makes your character say every slur known to man.

​@Findlay Murray yeah... we can't forget about that.....

​@@findlaymurray397 I doubt it would be limited to just the known slurs

​@@thel1355 That's the spirit!

man Spellbreaker already feels Fallout esq just write it off it as a rich mans eccentric project and bam we find Spellbreaker in FO4

It'd be really cool if this AI tool could be fed voiced dialogue from a modder's mic so it could match tone and inflections, then apply them to the dialogue with the proper voice.

Perfect for a no nonsense straight shooter character though.

But it would be perfect for dry humor and sarcasm.

@@sethgokey8161 Dry humor maybe, but it would be able to do lines like "I used my Secret Decoder ring" or the "I'm a ghost! ooooooo" ones because the actor puts on a completely different voice, especially the male one

@@MrPerson61 can you say that like dr frankenstein? Igor fetch me the brain!

Yeah,I have a ASUS F15 and it can handle CP2077 and Watch Dogs Legion at Medium/high graphics,but even with everything to minimum,Fo4 goes a bit janky

this is why I left the game tbh... it became way too annoying.

And crashing

Not for me 😂 but I also use a rtx 2090

There are mods that fix that, the main problem is the abysmal story, how it ignores the possibility of taking over the institute as a different faction. And the systems that were present in previous games were completely canned in Fallout 4.

I believe on the Lex fridman podcast Todd was asked about it and he said they were keeping a close eye on it and went to things that showcased it. But also said its still too early so let us pray that we'll see them use it in our lifetime.

the potential for a disaster is way bigger from this technology in my opinion.

Buddy they are literally one of the first to you use AI in their games

I don't think AAA companies, especially one owned by one of the biggest companies in the world should be cheaping out to use AI.

Modders using AI to create free mods to enhance an RPG video game with custom fully voiced quests is really cool. A multi-billion dollar company using AI to limit paying voice actors by creating a limited set of voice lines and creating the rest with AI is a big no-no. The amount of lawsuits and negative press that would come out of that would be overwhelming.

Just rewrite the whole game at this point and bring the cut content back because I don’t want to wait a decade for a new fallout

How about choosing between two different player characters? Not sure how doable that is.

Imagine having a multiple follower mod and them using ai to spice up romance with the followers through the ai and the Nora follower mod being able to recognize if you cheat on her with another follower.

Its possible already, and it makes the game super fun

there are a lot of dialogue options about your dead wife that would have to be cut or rewritten, could be challenging on top of just having her around with new dialogue. But who knows, modders are incredible

Fantastic idea

@@Prophet_of_gecko_jesus0001 sadly,I don't know how to make mods and I don't have a PC nor do I have the skills to do it. But that doesn't stop me from pitching my ideas.

hard to do. Would require some proper programming/scripting knowledge

@@mw00295 Not at all. The lock breaking can easily be done with a hidden ability with script added to the player, that checks when you melee strike something that If it's a door or just "locked" -> and if (further requirements like has to be below master lock and not a requires-key-type-lock etc.) akTarget -> unlock + play sound "lock breaking" at akActor location. As for widgets, you can just do a prompt whenever you have a "widget" and you are activating a locked terminal: "Do you ant to use widget bypass - Yes - No" If yes (check if enough skill or whatever you want to limit) then akAkto.removeitem widget 1 playe sound "1337 hacking etc". You can also apply this to the big leaguer, as in, prompts instead melee strikes if you want. It's really simple. I've done similar things many times with Skyrim and the script commands are 1:1.

Horizon (the f4 overhaul/survival mod) has had craftable autohackers/pickers for years. It's like playing a whole new game. A bit complicated, but it takes away the balanced for game journo's and 1 Int builds feel.

Is therea link to the old verssion?

I dont mind, I actually silence the Protag anyways for role play reasons.

Good.

Good. That's not a downside. The voice actor interferes with RP &, ngl, they're bad actors

Then it makes no sense anymore

I love the ideas like R.E.D. but I do really feel bad for the ethical implications of the voice AI

@@DuckLovesHistory its pretty good for non commercial use like modding, I dont see too many problems with it there, the real issue is when companies try use it to cut costs

Voice actors are fine for now as long as this stays as just f non profit modding and occasional memes

@@IAmMadMattDog What about the plethora of up and coming Voice Actors who are going to struggle to get portfolio work because you use an AI instead of... you know... paying them? All the of great Voice Actors in Sims Settlements or America Rising wouldn't have those on their resume if someone could just give an AI their fancast's work and tell it to read the script.

@@jacobyboyer3681 unfortunately theres no going back, AI is here and its only going to get better, the problem isnt AI, the problem is people needing a job to live, commercial stuff will become dominated by AI becaues its cheaper and handmade/human content will only be for personal/niche uses. The actual solution is Universal Basic Income and more socialism to support society as it transitions to an automated age as more and more peoples jobs become replaced by AI.

Everytime I hear cito I want a soda

I believe the game spacebourne 2 used AI for the voice acting because it's made by one guy.

I'm really looking forward to Fallout: London and I hope they will be using the voice AI for it as well. You're basically looking at a whole new game.

It wont, ai voiced npcs have been used by mods like interesting npcs in skyrim for a couple of years. Also consider that in western countries parody isnt a crime (mostly) a human doing an impression of someone isnt illegal, i dont see why a computer doing it should be. In fact, whos to say it ISNT a human doing an impression? How could it be proven in court?

​@@TigerWave01 Just throwing this in there, I think a few of GTA's voice actors for the main protagonists have been pissed about how little they were paid relative to the revenue/lifeline of the game. Imagine how they would feel if AI stretched their voices even further :P

@Jordan Carr If I'm not mistaken it's like this across the whole industry for voice actors, except for the big name ones. But voice actors in general seem very underappreciated. For example John DiMaggio, voice of Bender from Futurama, is pretty popular for voicing a bunch of iconic characters. He wanted higher pay and tried to protest against the production of new Futurama episodes, and could not manage to get a higher pay

@@TigerWave01 Niko's VA in GTAIV in particular was one of those.

@@LadZeroUltra Do you have a source on INPCs using AI voices? I've always been under the impression that the mod entirely uses actual voice actors. So, if that isn't the case, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

as long as the mods are free it shouldn't be an issue

@@SuicidalCat231 that’s not how copyright works.

@@SuicidalCat231 It'll keep them off the radar unless the mods get too popular. It doesn't actually legally protect them, and there've been free mods in the past that got killed because of copyright issues.

Lol for real, I was like " Is this seriously the main quest, or some trick? So many side quests too, need to throw those in as main quests or else it seems boring once the game is "beaten". Skyrim same problem.

We can't expect god to do all the work.

Go wild. Make sure he drunken ending where we get married to a death claw, drink beer with liberty prime, and play bowling with swan using raiders as pinballs a reality .

That's just the problem with open world games my guy you can't really fix it without making the main quest have no agency

You would have to gut the entire main quest to start with.

I was playing fallout 76 when this super mutant quest giver said something like "no time to run around wasteland doing stupid things, when small child is missing" As a reference to both rpgs in general - and Fallout 4's main story specifically - I probably laughed way too hard

So basically the biggest problem is that you had to compensate the actors from the original game? Way to devalue their work /s

@@iantencate9461 what?

momma

really both voice actors and modders are risking here with this technology overall.

I doubt they had that in their contract for Fallout 4.

​@@ntolman This

Yeah they could sue modders for breach of contract for a contract the modders weren't a party to, never signed or even read. There's going to be vague legal threats, but the law regarding AI is up in the air, legislators haven't even had the time to put their pants on regarding this issue.

True but you can also use non voice actors like the trump or biden ai voice thats become popular recently

IMO, the Brotherhood are the ONLY faction that destroying the Institute makes sense for, especially considering Maxson's attitude, though I suppose a case could be made for the Railroad too, the Minutemen are the main faction that I believe would actually benefit from the Institute's technology, it could go a long way to helping the Commonwealth, and even the synths could have their uses, from being an expendable combat force, to actually helping out the settlements, the General could send a bunch of 2nd gen synths to deal with the different 'help this settlement' quests instead of dealing with it personally, maybe even use a 3rd gen synth as the captain of such squads, or just have a human go along with them to co-ordinate things.

@Faylinn MystiqueRose , my logic was based on the bos primary principle of hoarding technology. Also, the general need to relocate their base of operations as the prydwen reactor will go critical without a steady supply of coolant. So, the institute is highly defendable, in a central location within the commonwealth.

@Faylinn MystiqueRose , so there needs to be an occupation alternative ending for all of the factions.

They hoard technology to keep it out of the hands of others, as they blame tech for the destruction of the world. They absolutely would blow up anything as technologically advanced as the Institute. If it was abandoned they would certainly scavenge it for tech... but since story wise it isn't possible to kill absolutely everyone safely like it is for a player in a game, it makes more sense to destroy the tech than to have it used against them.

elevenlabs is huge for modding given it basically allows to do what xvasynth did but much more competent

yeah, but you should always think the long term and the more personal/security issues that this could bring us.

​@@CharmedReally7that's what happens when new technology is developed

@@JohnDoe-hj9fh not every new technology brings a controversial change like this, this one is obviously only gonna benefit the big companies in the long run.

@@CharmedReally7 and the consumer

I’d recommend sim settlements 2, made a new game recently and it’s really fun

@oscars4608 yeah that was one of the first ones I installed 😁

The biggest problem is on the console where it's probably played least. Good point.

wabbajack my friend

One thing is that he undoubtedly has hundreds of hours of gameplay from all the games he covers, and has been covering, for the past few years. So it's possible he might use a clip of old gameplay in a new video just as filler or to show off the cool mods that have been added to FO4. He is the main reason I have wanted to get a gaming PC past few years--just for FO4 mods lol.

oh and from the old gameplay, some mod he may have been using might be unavailable now. Just a possibility.

Just download the mods individually bro

Companion better yet

New Vegas goes hard

basically I’m just saying simply that I would love to see a entire rewrite of the story to something that is faithful to the orginal and isn’t poorly contrived you can keep some of the same ideas and such as alot of them are fasinating to explore however they need a much better writer or team of writers to make the game worth it cause I mean a rpg with a contrived and messy story isn’t all that great for me

Honestly they need to rewrite Fallout 3 as well. If they are going to rewrite Fallout 4.

​@@limpfall13 well of Skyrim is being rewrite by a mod team so it's possible for fallout 4 to be rewrited

with AI voice retcons can be easily fixed

@@killertruth186 defiantly though im unsure how that would be done

Not only Starfield but fallout New Vegas and 3 and even Skyrim too. I mean I don't know if you'd want the fallout 4 voice in Skyrim but it's possible

We gotta limit the roleplay potential in those games as well

@@vexili nobodies stopping you playing a mute telepath my guy just let people play games with modern standards

this is still kinda taking the VA job though

@@teapuck2530 i doubt the VA for the protagonist would do 100s of free or cheap voice lines

@@teapuck2530 Eh i mean if not for AI this mod just wouldn't exist

@@browal14 I mean yea it's still talking his job though given he isn't being paid even so I don't see a problem he's not the one saying anything at this point, and he was paid for the main voice files used in these A projects.

​@@waffleten9750it's not really taking his job though because the VA wouldn't have a job working for these mod authors

Settlements are always going to be bottle necked by CPUs, that's how ai tracking and pathing works.

Because you still need inputs and data to feed the AI. You still need an actor with a ranged and varied performance to get good results from the AI. It can't materialize voice lines from nothing without coming off as VERY robotic.

most mods reuse in game voices, have no voices, or get friends to do it for free....when corpo starts using it sure, you can complain, but nobody was getting paid for who is currently using it

As have been said higher up, the inflection in certain dialogues are all wrong. For example the sarcastic or dumb ones, since the AI is (at least for the moment) only really able to say neutral sentences well. Therefore it's still better for studios to hire professional voice actors, since it needs the human touch. This is, however, great for mods where it's really hard to get quality VA, or the original VA.

@@felixbjerhemaronsson8253 great for mods until voice actors take them to court since their contracts prohibit their voices be used for AI and defamation of character if the modders make AI say stuff in their voice that they didn't consent to.

AI voice model tools are not using those assets whatsoever, it's training data off of the person's voice to make it sound like they said things they never did. Not at all the same thing. There's a clear difference between that and reusing assets, which would be repurposing existing lines in the game. It's completely unethical, and your only takeaway being "it doesn't make them lose money" is extremely weird to say the least. Not to mention false, because if someone uses the AI to get them to say off-putting or racist things it could have an actual tangible affect on their image and their career, which should have been immediately obvious.

@@Lyndis_ There have been tools out for years that were used to create mods with existing voice files. Those tools would take a voice record from the original game, and simply splice and rearrange them so that the character "said things they never did" [in the original game]. So your point is moot. Granted those rearranged voice records did not sound natural as the pitch and tone would vary wildly in most cases. Disclaimer: I've only ever discussed the use of these tools within a very specific arc of application. They are only produced from existing in-game assets for the purposes of creating free fan made content to enhance that same game. I'm not suggesting pulling voice files from another game or project a voice actor / actress may have done. I'm not suggesting stalking their social media or TV appearances for sound bits, etc. I'm not suggesting the AI tools be used to create content of an overtly sexually graphic nature. (While the TOOLS are absolutely capable of generating such content, the mod authors themselves typically have better taste than this. Not to mention such content would typically not be welcome on the Nexus anyway.) I'd also point out that to date the mods that were created using the new AI voice training tech have all stated in their mod descriptions that the new lines were AI generated and not to be confused with anything officially sanctioned by either Bethesda or the original actor. So the argument that it creates harm because someone thought it was real simply means they never bothered to read the description of the mod before they installed it. To be clear, it should be obvious to anyone reading these posts that there are two distinctive points of view on this emerging technology. While I'm pretty entrenched in my standpoint on this matter, and can only hope I've articulated that standpoint fairly, I will be the first to acknowledge that others will (obviously) disagree.

@@Lyndis_ yea I disagree with that it's unethical. Maybe if it's the person's real voice, but not if it's the person's acting voice. Because that's what this is, voice acting. Creating a product to help create a part of a fictional character. Is making your character look like Dwayne the Rock Johnson unethical? And getting the Rock to shoot up Diamond City bad? No because people recognize it's a game. If they were to monetize the mods, that would be unethical in my opinion because the voice actors are losing potential revenue

I also turned the Minuteman. into a Soviet Union. For fun.

Yes the Soviet union shall rise again but in America

Who asked?

Can you cite a source of where you're getting the claim it's destroying the VA industry?

Yes because humans make trash content now. The rare person who can utilize A.I to its effectiveness will make far more content at higher quality at a cheaper expense. Be all Luddite you want, people who bring A.I forward will be the next explosive golden age of entertainment.

i bet your favorite faction is the brotherhood of steel

@@jesseramseyz Consoomer take that doesn't understand anything about the process any of the media they consume is created or how art works

Don't worry it's illegal to use ai voice acting for Comercial use. As long as no one is making money off it, it's perfectly legal

People legitimately suck at times
