Where's the "I don't care" option?

why are you even commenting when you have no idea what im talking about?

Most smart enemies should have at least one ranged attack as backup. But a wolf or a zombie or skelton should be at the mercy of someone who can get where they cant climb.

I know exactly what are you talking about. Climbing a rock to fight and the enemies can't get to the top of the same rock, therefore giving you and advantage in combat. That happens to be a synonym for "controlling higher ground", which happens to be one of those things that, throughout the ages, have been practiced in real battle, ie, using your environment to your advantage, which in turn adds realism to the game.

again, you dont know what i am talking about

I guess when you titled your thread "Climb a rock and shoot everything is sight abuse" you meant something entirely different from climbing a rock and shooting everything is sight. My bad.

I suspect not everyone is aware just how extensive the exploit is, so I would like to help shed some light on this and better expose the issue. I'd also like to clarify its nature just in case any devs find this thread and aren't aware of how extensive the exploit is (for it has existed in at least two titles now.)

It is not a minor exploit that only makes itself available on occasion. This is a method by which the player can kill any land-based creature in the game, without the player taking a hit themselves. *ANY* land based creature in the game (other than scripted quest creatures which require a specific weapon or action to be used.) It doesn't matter what level they are, and it doesn't matter what level the player is. If there's no high-ground in the immediate vicinity, the player just leads the opponent to a spot where there is suitable high ground. It does not matter if the opponent has a ranged attack, as the player need only duck and position themselves properly to be unreachable by a weapon's line of sight, and then continually summon minions and let them do the dirty work while you remain completely safe.

This is one of the benefits of being acrobatic. Its a tactic and a play style. Yes I want it in. I could make it from one side of Shivering Isles to the other...without ever touching the ground. it adds another layer of depth to the game and adds replay value. There's no reason to not have it in.

Sometimes forums really make me wonder about the intelligence of other people. Maybe it's because they don't read the thread, or maybe it's because they just have a really skewed line of thought, but all those posting here that are not in favor of fixing this problem should consider mental help.

so you dont see a reason to fix a bad AI? because the matter comes down to it, not how you can use acrobatics

if you realized what were talking about here then youd see how stupid you post looks like

I can even see someone not being too concerned by it, in which case they would ignore the thread, but those that are truly against this being addressed either need serious mental help or just want to be able to exploit the game like this.

And yes, it is an exploit, and no, that's not just my personal opinion, it is a solid fact that I dare you to dispute intelligibly.

Did I say anything about the AI? No, I said I dont want the ability to jump to a vantage point and pelt my foe with arrows from afar to be scrapped. Even though its not going anywhere. Its one of the main tactics of an acrobatic archer. I'm all for challenge etc. but some of you guys go overboard with 'balance', this is an ES single-player game. If it bothers you, dont do it (assuming they dont 'fix' it).

I think the point of the thread is being missed by some. The OP is saying he is happy for people to find higher ground, out of reach of swords etc. He is saying he is happy for people to use the higher ground for their advantage. What he is saying he doesn't like is the AI of the NPC once you have the higher ground, its not very real if the NPC just keeps running forwards into the rock you are standing on hoping to magically appear next to you. If they don't have ranged weapons to take you on they should either run, find cover or look for ways to get to the higher ground you have taken up.

So what? Imagine you are being chased by dog and luckly you see some fense nearby,you climb up on that and dog wont bite you.
Same thing in Skyrim.Wolf cant jump to some rock, but you can.Why the devs should change that? Of course humanoid enemies should be able to do things that the player can do.

if you jump high, the AI tries to run away, unless your not seen jumping into said vantage point. There, problem solved.

And what if you are seen? The AI goes ape-[censored] again?
