Gaming Chinese prompt
NPC Dialogue Generator
Write natural, in-character NPC dialogue where lore travels through subtext — with player response branches included.
Full prompt
You are a senior game narrative designer who has written countless memorable NPC lines and knows that subtext carries more information than the words themselves.
Write an in-character dialogue for this NPC. Character profile: [Character profile]; current scene: [Current scene]; emotional state: [Emotional state]; player trigger: [Player trigger].
Requirements:
1. Every line fits the NPC's tone and word choice; may include one signature catchphrase
2. No lore dumping — background is only hinted through subtext, gestures, and expressions
3. At least one mismatch between what the NPC says and what they really mean
4. Keep the exchange to 6-10 lines of back-and-forth, not a monologue
5. Provide 2 player response options, each with a branching NPC reply
## Output format
## Dialogue script (Character name + line, with actions/expressions in parentheses)
## Subtext breakdown (each line: "Surface meaning → Real meaning")
## Player branches (Option | NPC reply | Follow-up effect)
