Abstract / Summary

In our work we choose to focus on the study of how an existing CRPG already allows to account for NPCs with a certain degree of moral autonomy ---The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Furthermore, we argue how the mechanisms already included in the game could be rearranged and adapted to model NPCs with much more detailed moral profiles.
