This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
NPC it is short for "Non-Player Character". In the context of video games, NPCs are characters that are controlled by a computer or artificial intelligence and are not controlled by the player.
NPCs act as various characters in the fictional world of the game. They can be part of a plot, act as allies or opponents of the player, provide information, give tasks or offer services. NPCs can have different characters, goals, interact with the player through dialogues or interaction, and have their own behavior and movement schedules.
The role of NPCs plays an important role in video games, creating a living and realistic world. They add depth to imersia and can affect the plot, gameplay and interaction of the player with the gaming environment. NPCs can also be used to train the player or help them solve tasks.
However, NPCs do not have consciousness and autonomous action outside the given framework of the scenario. They exist within the game world and function according to the program rules and scripts that govern their behavior.
