New Player -- Some Thoughts.

I’ve played with Friends and Fables through most of the day—and I can agree with your statement that this is an early access project. You AI DM is, well he struggles as most AI DMs do with rushing narrative, heightening the tension for no reason and too an inappropriate level, and lingering too long on dead scenes. It also has issues translate map location with where it says you’re going, for instance, it refers to the Chasm in Neverwinter when making an adventure even when we hours away from the Chasm. Then if you enter an inn, it wants to put that inn near the Chasm. I’ve had redo entire NPCs because they made them a carbon copy of a previous NPC in another location.

All I can say is that your service’s main selling point is memory—the ability of your DM to keep campaign facets together where traditional AI has none. And yet, I find at times traditional AI does better than your DM at keeping things straight. I will give it praise for rarely talking or acting for my character—that shit drives me crazy. Bravo. I’m not saying you’re falsely advertising your service, but you are under-delivering—and I could understand how that might frustrate some people. I will personally continue to experiment to see if I can manually improve things.
