I just started a new game recently and the AI is acting funny, the seem to run into each other all of the time and sometimes they will just outright run away from me for no good reason. I have never experienced this problem before.

If it helps, or hurts, for that matter I am on PS3

This is not normal. Being on the console, the best thing you can do is clear the cache (which I don't know if you do that on the PS3, verify your game files, make sure the DLCs are still installed, and then start a new game to see if it does it on that too.

If you want to try something else simpler first, then just reset your PS3 and load the game up again, it could be the Navmeshes got all miss-rendered in the cell, and that should not render that way again.

I tried deleting all saves and starting a new game but it didn't help I will try resetting to see if that works

Resetting seems to have worked but I can't be sure yet

Thank you

maybe they are just happy to see you. Or terrified since they run away
