Narration Aspects
One part of making Agents believable is that they have intentionality, i.e. have goals and take actions to make these goals be fulfilled. Goal-Driven Personal Development not only relies on that Agents have goals but update the goals based on how the previous goals succeeded or not, and through this can help create Thematic Consistency by making these Agents believable regarding this issue.
Consequences
The possibility of Goal-Driven Personal Development in a game allows Agents to have their Own Agenda that develop over time. When applied to non-human agents, i.e. Algorithmic Agents, Goal-Driven Personal Development allows these to have Open Destinies and can provide Replayability in making it interesting for players to perceive the differences in outcomes for them in various game instances.
