Braingasm and a half.

I will note, however, to somehow decipher this thread, that I've read in a few places that the people who got to sit down with Todd when he played through Skyrim also said that the AI was still very Oblivion-esque and such. For example, when Todd shot and killed a bandit with an arrow all sneaky-like, who was busy talking to someone, the NPC the bandit was talking to reacted by saying something like "What was that?" A few press articles talked about the AI still needing a lot of work. We'll see though.

Its a Jersey thing you wouldnt understand, sorry :poke:

Actually no one has said it is like oblivion because no one knows,.... and as for the sneak kill, if read correctly it could mean it works exactly right, I personally belive that was taken out of context by people who are always looking for proof of flaws. JMO

Here's an overview of the article in question, leave the ill at rest and hit the link

JMO? Just My Opinion? Never heard that one before. :shrug:

mostly the same info as the first link i posted on this thread but with a few extra pieces of info

That was a funny thread.

But I hope the OP misread that part about the AI.

No, I think what they mean is "If your friend gets shot be an arrow, you (A.K.A. Any given person) [should] run for cover. [but the character in the game did not]"

Like when an angry boss who you're talking smart to might say "When I tell you to shut up, you shut up!". He's not saying it's what youre doing, he's saying it's what you should be doing.

That makes sense. But we can only guess what he means.

ah the screenshots half of us still havent seen mainly due to scans being a no-no on this site

Yep, I think I've read the article (or a few similar ones, I've read a half dozen or so walkthroughs of the Skyrim Demo that article is talking about). One article I read, the reporter opened by saying that he had two words written on a page of his notes from the demo that summed it up nicely, "HOLY CRAP!". All of the articles about the game said it was amazing, and the ONLY flaw they could point out was one little problem with the AI that will most likely be fixed. What they are talking about in your quotes, is when Todd shot a bandit with an arrow and killed him, and his friend who he was talking to said "I know I heard something" and started looking around, rather than running for cover and screaming.

Mystery solved! :twirl:
