Fed-up with animal behaviour : V

OK, what's with the animals in Skyrim? They're intelligent!

3 bears run at you, you climb onto a rock, they can't figure out how to get to you. Do they growl and stand beneath you making nice, easy targets? No! Do they run around trying to find a way up to you? No!

They all immediately run off, just precisely out of bow range, turn around and STARE at you!

The 2nd you climb down, they run at you, climb back up, they run off to exactly the same range again. All animals do this, it's crazy!

They got the intellligence from eating the deer and absorbing their intelligence.

Now, Bears and animals know how to avoid being attacked by arrows, while foxes, elk, and deer let you run up and hit them with a sword.

Haha I've seen that lots....quite strange seeing them all doing a group hug and hanging out together.

You'll wander by the Alchemist shack and see a bear using it soon...

They are evolving.

They are actually Forsworn dressed in bear costumes.

Also, apparently bears are pack hunters in Tamriel.

Heh, I once walked into an abandoned shack and there was a bear inside.
I nearly pooped myself.

I find it even more amusing when you shoot 1 arrow and sneak attack something, then fire a second arrow (and they haven't detected you) and they miraculously sidestep the arrow 1 second before it will hit them

I think you just proven his point.

so you are mad that the game cant be exploited this way?

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:23 pm

bows have range?

No, I just would some slightly better animal AI. Although, it is quite amusing watching 5 bears run off at the same moment in different directions, reach that same "magic" distance, and all turn at the same time and stare...

OK, I apologise, I was perhaps a little harsh

Actually I really like that myself. Although mine always run behind a rock and hide and wait.
