Jumping NPC

Post » Mon Oct 11, 2010 1:40 am

Do ever think about why NPC is never jumping in the games? I mean it's really could make fight harder. If enemies will have very high acrobatic skill it should be nice, how do u think?

It would be interesting, but if they modify the jump animation (which I'm pretty sure they will do... they MUST). Otherwise, it would look pretty silly...

The only problem with NPCs jumping is making pathing for it is hard as hell. Almost every jump in gaming done by NPCs is a scripted event and had animation crafted specifically for it.

Newer and smarter tech got some "dynamic AI" features. Crysis have dynamic AI for battles and such. They jump, take cover, crawl, you name it.
I think Skyrim will have something more dynamical than the Gamebryo-version you're implying.

I'd like NPCs to jump over obstacles if they get stuck while chasing after you. Other than that, it's not necessary in my opinion.

I don't particularly care, but I voted yes anyway, because I suppose the more little details they include, the better the game will be...

I doubt non-jumping NPC's would ruin my TESV experience.
