Will NPCs be able to jump : V - Skyrim

Nope, too hard to pull off with pathfinding and not looking rediculous

Making them jump is easy. Making them not jump like morons is the hard part.

This.

I hope so....
...standing on a rock instantly made you have god mode.

The ledge in Umbra's room anyone?

Climbing npcs would fix virtually every "stuck" issue. I hope you can climb in Skyrim.

Amen! Climbing player and climbing npcs would be a great improvement for the gameplay. I also hope they will know how to use the environment to help them in fight (hide behind objects, jump on a horse and flee,...).
Although I kinda enjoy exploiting the poor AI pathfinding for example luring a powerful beast near the stables and jumping over the fence repeatedly while the beast and all the nearby npcs will keep running between the stables gate and the spot where I jump, that was terribly fun with so many arrows in my quiver...but it would have been damn exciting to see the beast smash the fence or simply jump over it.

No.

:(

You can always dream..

heh just realized a NPC could be jumping around to increase it's acrobatics.. Yeah. However it was stupid in OB to have a master acrobatics person, where did he learn to jump?

In oblivion, I would just jump on a rock where the NPCs couldnt get me, and throw spells at them. Was too easy.
