NPC A.I.

I know it has probably been discussed to death, but I just had to laugh today...

Was finishing up "Discerning the Transmundane" today, and I needed some high elf blood, so I figured, what better place to get it than the Thalmor Embassy, those bastards. So i roll up there, and get into the guard quarters and proceed to slaughter everyone to obtain the final blood I needed for this quest. I mean, there must have been 15 high elves in there. Their dead bodies littering the ground, two more guards came in. Standing face to face with a gigantic orc in full daedric armor and a daedric mace hanging from my hip, the guards look at me and go "I'm going to kill whoever did this"....and then sit down at the table. I went up to try and interact with them, to get them to fight me, but all they said was "You're not supposed to be in here" or something like that, and then repeated "I'm going to kill whoever did this". So i left.

I mean, I'm all for gathering appropriate evidence, but if I walk into a fresh crime scene and there is a gigantic orc there looking all bad ass, with blood dripping off his mace, I'm probably going to put 2 and 2 together. Just had to share. :)

The AI is VERY smart for a video game, however that said i do agree it does make a good deal of silly mistakes :)

Skyrim's AI isn't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTMwjYgJsFQ... *cough*

Honestly, if it were improved, I'd probably miss the goofiness.
