If I interpret that correctly, is that the same bad AI behaviour that Oblivion has in the same situation? If yes, they BETTER fix it. Seriously.

I must admit, i have to agree with that. That better be fixed.What happened to this new alert mode?

Guess we'll see soon enough.

"Aggressive monsters will not necessarily attack you on sight. The demo character allowed a roaming Forest Troll to pass by him." That's even better.

I read an english version later on, it seems like the norwegian article just copied that and transleted it. In the english demo it was actually Giant and not a Troll (which would make the news not as exciting, because I already knew that giants were neutral), but the norwegian article stated "skogstroll" which could possibly be that giant because they're often translated rather loosely. But literally, "Skogstroll" translates to Forest Troll. Skog = forest or woods.

Well, the giant looks like the trolls in Norwegian folklore so its not that strange. In Norwegian the word gigant(giant) is used for creatures far bigger then that troll/giant, so from a Norwegian point of view, skogstroll is not that wrong.
