Evan or Even (the guy doing the AI mod) has just started expanding his mod out to summoned critters and enemies, if I understood his notes correctly. I don't think he's gotten very far into enemy AI yet, but I guess it is possible.Solaris said:If they suck so much at AI scripting they should have just left the damn thing out altogether....however we are still left with the braindead enemy AI aren't we?
In particular, people have asked him why enemy spellcasters never attempt to de-buff the player & companions. I guess that's what he's going to solve first. I don't know what he'll do after that -- I have a hazy memory of him saying he would port over some of the AI code he wrote for companions, maybe so enemies don't blow up their own crew with AoE attacks?
He works fast, and did the AI mods for NWN 1, so I would guess that in just a week or two the mod should be formidable for enemy AI. It's already doing well for companion AI, so if that's all you need, you could try it now.

Right now, nothing stops them from jus blitzing your mage every combat.

First, caster waves his hands for half an our, then there is s-l-o-w spell activation animation, and only then damage is done.Jim Kata said:But again it's the realtime retardedness that makes it impossible to do opportunity attacks and area effect attacks properly
You fail at the game. Mages are the shit. Having Qara annihilate loads of enemies with AoE spells is really simple. Having them rush her is hardly a problem with some defensive buffers. now I would never leave the spell casting to the AI of course.
Jim Kata said:But again, this is the same 'gamey' bullshit gameplay. Yeah, I can just play as the sorceror alone but playing as a party correctly is fucking impossible.

Surgey said:I have a question. Does Daeghun betray you? Because my friend and I are discussing it, and I've been visiting relatives the past half-month so I haven't had a chance to find out myself.
