Thank God for all the conveniently located precipices in Larian’s maps, I guess. The crazy thing is that even if you avoid using it yourself it would seem that the AI has still has a boner for using Shove at every opportunity.
Yeah, that's a LITTLE side effect of the mentality "Whoa, wouldn't be nice if characters had MORE THINGS TO DO per turn? Let's make this circumstantial, occasional action surprisingly convenient to abuse over and over".
And suddenly you have something that is TOO convenient and that you have rarely a good reason to NOT use. As a result not only it affects the balance but it changes the face of most fights because what was previously "occasional" and "circumstantial" becomes omnipresent.
Especially when you let a AI evaluate the most effective strategy so self-restrain "for the sake of preserving some immersion" isn't even a factor anymore.
