some thought about how enemies behave in combat:
pros: I saw enemies using abilities to help each other. Like helping hand on a knockdowned one or other spells to remove status effects. Sometimes I have the feeling the enemies really act as team and its not just a bunch of mindless idiot who only attack the first thing they see. If you are foolish enough to let them attack, they will use all kind of CC against you (stunn, frozen, petryfied, charmed, . . .) I think more than half of the enemy attacks can cause a status effect. Of course this can go wrong like using a poison attack to heal headless Nick (now with head).
cons: Enemies move too much. Sometimes they walk around to do an attack they could have done from their initial position. Some enemies wasted their turn to walk around on the battlefied aimlessly without doing any attack or spell. The peak of insanity was an enemy who used his turn only to walk around and he did provoke 3 attacks of Opportunety against himself in this turn, what finally killed him. I have never seen that enemies use the charge attack of the warrior or the lightning jump to change their position. They never used teleport or something similar to move enemies away from themselves and right in fromt of the sword of a friendly fighter.
