Abstract
Believability is a basic requirement for non-player characters of videogames. Players enjoy characters with personalities that reflect human behavior, specially if those personalities combine well with players’ temperaments. This paper explains a model for customizing automatically non-player characters (NPC) according to the players temperament, which is obtained before the game session. The model uses Case-Based Reasoning and Ontologies to adapt the behavior of a NPC, which is the companion of a player character in the described example.
