hmmm this topic is having a funny turn from what should they be, to what is wrong today?
However I really dont see the point in banning the latest Larry Leisureuit and releasing things like hitman, since I am a firm believer in "make Love, Not War" there's a good point though aside from a few comp like Larian Obsidian and Bioware,who actually concentrate on story and due to the fact that the majority of their games are RPG and thus can involve many different things, whereas FPS RTS etc are basicly the same the point of the game is to be the best at what you do by either being a canny shooter or a good stratigist, or a good tennis player what ever the case may be.
we can make a game that completely and faithfully reproduces Tiger Woods ... but the fun is in beating the inbuilt chance (I.E. the AI)thus it becomes an amusment value of sorts and thus it is all down how well the AI is structured.
While I love, nay adore NWN, it has it's own bugs ... how many times have you had your henchman not following you? after you gave the command, heh I have seen ppl refer to that as the Lethargic Henchman AI, That is what will improve, what will not improve is the actual scripting, it just becomes more sloppy, (this is understandable) because you can only take soo much time to make a game (due to the progress of this technology) and thus more lines of code must be written in the same time, take MS-DOS and MS-Win XP, yes it is easier to use then DOS for the n00b, but think about thewhole program, what it has to check what is has to do, these are all lines of code, that need to be checked and rechecked and then tested and then some more.
Bluddy H*ll I am ranting aren't I? Ok sorry I shuddup <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
