Abstract
This research investigates the impact of integrating context-aware large language model-based non-player charac- ter (NPC) conversations on player engagement in role-playing games. By utilizing the capabilities of context-aware dialogues generated by language models, the study aims to enhance player engagement with context-aware NPCs. Through an experimental study (n=21), measuring the player engagement and perceived conversation quality, the results demonstrate that context-aware LLM-based NPC conversations have high potential in increasing player engagement in RPGs. Design guidelines for implementing context-aware NPC interactions are identified, while acknowledg- ing the limitations of the study. Further research is recommended to explore other aspects of the topic.
