    I wholeheartedly endorse everything in this - it's an excellent
    "in-between" from current games and the stuff I'm still trying to get
    working involving proper personality simulations with likes and dislikes.
    
    Games will not be accepted as proper form of entertainment until we
    master social interactions between players and NPCs (that aren't just
    pre-scripted).
