I used to play rendering the game with something called Tomaz Quake, and practiced with bots: Frogbot, Reaperbot, etc. Let me tell you, Frogbot was awesome and Reaperbot was close behind. I suppose Skyrim's AI are also bots... but they are not great at killing you. Then again, Skyrim is not an arena with power ups.
Has Quake 1 gotten any new and better rendering engines and bots?
