If the default game-mode has SuperShove, the AI will (and clearly has) learn strategies that depend on it.
That alone is quite asumption ...
I mean, maybe Larian is using some advanced coding to confuse us, but dont programs usualy do prior tasks first? O_o
So if Shove is changed to an action, reduced in distance, etc, then that might break the AI behavior.
Disturbt ... maybe.
Break seems like quite stong word.
E.g., the AI could default to using Action-Shove to no effect.
What exactly do you mean "no effect" ? Like if Larian would reduce shove range to strict 5f, but NPCs AI would still presume that they will shove you thrice as far and act acordingly to that presumption?
Well then yes, but that would be hardly misstake of AI, would it?
Otherwise i must disagree ...
I was never shoved so much as many people claim around here, but if there is one thing im quite certain about, it was allways with intention to kill ... therefore i would presume that AI that would see that by Shove it cant kill your Avatar instantly, would rather attack regulary.
