Neighbours from Hell
Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT create a story for a TLOU3 game. It's actually not terrible. Rate how ChatGPT did out of 10 for this story.
Here's a narrative concept for The Last of Us Part III, building on the themes, characters, and emotional consequences of The Last of Us Part II. This story focuses on legacy, trauma, redemption, and the blurred lines between justice and survival.
Title: The Last of Us Part III
Setting:
Several years after the events of Part II, the world is still ravaged by the Infected, but fledgling communities have grown stronger, better defended, and more interconnected. The Fireflies are rumored to have resurged in a hidden location, working to create a cure once again.
Meanwhile, Ellie, now reclusive and disillusioned, is tracked down by someone from Jackson who tells her that the Fireflies are real—and they might be trying to find her. They're looking for "the girl who was immune."
Ellie is torn. She has nothing left in Jackson. Her immunity, once a curse, might finally mean something.
Eventually, they reach a fortified Firefly settlement—led in part by Lev, now weathered and pragmatic. Lev greets Ellie with a complicated mix of anger and understanding, and tells her Abby never returned after trying to locate more immune individuals.
The Fireflies reveal they've found a doctor capable of creating a vaccine—Ellie might be humanity's last chance again. But this time, Ellie has to choose what to do with that power.
Lev wants to fight. Cam wants to save her brother. Ellie is caught between repeating the past and trying to redeem it.
As the Firefly base is besieged, Ellie is mortally wounded protecting Cam. In her final moments, she tells Lev and Cam to finish what Joel started—but do it right this time.
In the finale, Cam agrees to donate her life to protect Ellie's legacy. Lev, now the inheritor of Ellie's and Abby's stories, becomes the bridge between vengeance and hope.
