  17. Discussion • In MMOs, especially MMORPGs, many individual participants create an interactive drama. Given such environments, is there a place for AI-driven interactive drama? • Given how long it takes to author such a short game, is it worthwhile? • Can you think of ways to reduce authoring time? • Attempts at choose-your-own path movies have been unsuccessful. Could interactive drama of this type be used to somehow make something better? • How would interactive drama work with non-self-absorbed characters? • Where, aside from games, could these ideas be applied?
