When playing games, we pursuit the feelings of being in a real world. So it will be nice if the NPCs act like real humans. But till now, I've never seen any off-line RPG with human-like NPCs. It must be due to certain technical or theoretical difficulties, and it is greatly worth to be researched.
Could anyone tell me any pioneer papers being relevant to this issue?
