Radiant story doesnt mean all quest will be according to your character. alot of quests will be set and always at the same place and stuff like that its only that whith radiant story you will have [censored] happening like: Yo sawg i herd you liek destruction skill? well i think im better than YOU! and then a fight goes.

alot of dungeons will be static and with static loot for sure

Consider all quests related to luck in oblivion. make alot more of them and thats how radiant story will work. you will get those random events based on what you did rather than on luck

hmm, I see, yeah I'm not too familiar how Radiant Story works, thanks for the posts

it does help to explain a lot and does put some of my fears to rest

thank you

Im glad I could help. I'm really surprised how little attention Radiant Story is getting on this forum and I'm glad someone finally started a thread on it.

I think you misunderstood the nature of radiant story. From the passage in GI article it would seem that radiant AI has nothing to do with the player character's level per se and is in no way random. Radiant Story is a system in which the gameworld reacts to the specific actions undertook but the Player character. One example given in the article is that a Character of who is proficient in Magic may be approached by another Magically inclined individual and challenged to a duel. Or dropping an item from your inventory in the middle of town and then a day later a young boy returns it to you. Or after killing a certain NPC, a relative hunts you down to take revenge. From the information I've seen I have little fear that Radiant story will be level scaled or random or negate "legendary loot.

This.

It's the reworked Radiant A.I., it just keep track of what you have been doing and define new game world conditions based on it anolyze. The only randomness is on the result, not the creation.

My take on radiant story is that I will be better entertained when I am replaying the game. If I use a character that is slightly different from another character I have in game then I should be able to go to the same places and be treated differently or encounter different people and receive different quests.

This sounds nice. It would certainly give me reason to interact with the npcs.

I love how these guys give us so much game for our fist full of dollars.

As it's been pointed out, radiant story isn't randomly generated. There are some aspects that change based on who your character is and what you've done, Also the timing isn't the same for everyone. Hope this helps.
