Man the AI truly is nothing it was cracked up to be. I am reminded of the Sims 2 when I see it. Is there anywhere it truly shines like in that movie we saw with the woman and her dog. I admit, so far I've only really interacted with wandering NPC's and shopkeepers but it doesn't seem so radiant at all. I watch conversations happen and interactions between people and I start to think I've seen better in Thief 3.

NPC's will say goodbye, then not even move, instead restarting the conversation with something totally stupid that just sounds silly after what they had just been talking about. Example:

"Hi, what's new with you?"
"Oh the fighters guild is recruiting blah blah blah"
"I've heard the same"
"So long"

*Goes to walk away then suddenly puases mid-action and stutters as the sound sequence kicks in again and a new convo. begins*

"Hi how are you doing?"
"I've heard that his prices are the lowest blah blah" (basically ignored the question)
*now a 5-second pause with no response*
"Goodbye"

*Walks away but this time for real*
