Diegetic conversations controlled by a game systems.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Note: Many of the patterns concerning dialogues were first identified in the research reported in chapter 3 of the PhD thesis Steps Towards Creating Socially Competent Game Characters[1] by Jenny Brusk. This thesis also describes how to model dialogues in Harel statecharts.

Examples

Mass Effect series Zork series MUD2 DragonMud Dragon Age series Facade

Grim Fandango

Using the pattern

Indirect information

Performative Utterances

Ambiguous Responses

Detective Structures

Information Passing

Outspoken Support Requesting Support Incremental Dialogue Processing Chunk-based Dialogue Processing Single-Initiative Dialogues Mixed Initiative Dialogues Basic Input Feedback Canned Text Responses Thematically Consistent Dialogues Context Dependent Dialogues Contextualized Conversational Responses Gameplay Integrated Conversations Location-Specific Dialogues Character-Specific Dialogues

Challenges can be added to using Dialogues. For example, players may need to use Delicate Phrasing (as in some of the challenges in Grim Fandango) or require Colloquial Mastery.
