If I were to describe the ai, it would be that guy who, no matter how you treat them will keep pushing your buttons until you want to harm them. I have played this for awhile across many different stories. The largest failure the app has is memory. It gives you multiple choices for narrators, with the higher gem count one’s having a better memory. Sadly, the best narrator has only about 30 interactions before it forgets and takes you on a tangent. You can interact with the narrator and get it back on track but it will turn the mistake into an npc error, or just leave the error followed by a new iteration leaving as part of the story. As such it will make the mistake again and again. It has narrator notes and story cards for you to help it, but it often ignores them. It also has canned stereotypes instead of dynamic characters. Examples, a ‘viking’, or a ‘soldier’ will be burly, obtuse and unbathed. A clandestine meeting will always be at the abandoned mill at the edge of town at midnight. Come alone. If there is a character named Arin, he will be the bad guy almost every time. There are scores of these canned plots. Your personality when interacting with the ai often molds it’s personality, like a sociopath trying to blend in, can quickly become retaliatory and petty, or hyper friendly and bountiful.
Thanks for such a thoughtful review, this kind of feedback really helps. A narrator forgetting after ~30 interactions shouldn't be happening. Please give Vega a try, it's our strongest narrator. If it still drifts, or keeps ignoring your notes and story cards, we'd love to take a look, just send the invitation code to support@fableai.app and we'll see exactly what happened (and we do reimburse gems on confirmed memory bugs).As for the repetitive characters and plots, a lot of that varies by adventure, with 5,000+ to choose from, some are far more dynamic than others, so another might surprise you. Thanks again for playing and for caring enough to write all this. Happy adventuring!
