"In fact, one of the interesting problems that the team has had to face came about precisely because the AI is so good. According to Howard, the AI has caused guards to decide to eat and go hunting deer, only to get themselves arrested for attacking something. When they fight back against the arresting guard, the other guards see a fight and try to join in.

In not too much time, every guard in the town was involved in the scuffle, which left the rest of the town open to thievery by other NPCs, resulting in empty stores. Much of the team's current effort is going into putting sensible governors on the AI's behavior to avoid situations like empty stores that would result in situations that wouldn't be fun for the player."

It'd be fun to see a whole town rioting.

I'd really crack some skulls.

That sounds kinda cool.

Might even be a purchase if they tone down the really beardy stuff.

As long as they don't tone down the AI too much, I might check it out.

Fat chance.

I reckon if you loved/hated Morrowind, the same'll apply here.

There's more gore and they're sorting out the combat.

It'll have a wider appeal.
