NPC (Non-Player Character) is a character within a game that is not controlled by a human player. Instead, the game's AI dictates their actions and dialogues. NPCs serve various roles, such as quest givers, shopkeepers, or background characters, contributing to the game's story and environment. They enrich the game's world by providing interaction opportunities, information, and tasks for the player. By fulfilling these roles, NPCs enhance the player's immersion and engagement in the game, making them an essential element in most video games.
