Haha. New update on NPCs and AI, actually sounds pretty useful for understanding the world around you. I like that you may not just walk up to a blacksmith who’s standing around waiting for you, or if you have a letter to give to someone he might be asleep if you come by at night. Little details like that are nice to know. I also noticed the part with the bow hunting did not have a crosshair or the dot you see while moving around in other spots. That’s good, I think.

Chasing around animals is totally going to be a passtime activity for me. Hope the shepherds will react to that as well, when you come back and all their sheep are gone, they’ll have a few things to say about that haha 
Nice video. What would happen if I blocked an npc inside his house while he was sleeping?
The best video so far, and I hadn’t expected something to be more exciting than combat system.
the ai system sounds fucking awesome. this will be one of the best indie-games next time.
i can’t wait too play the alpha.
Very, very , very ,very cool indeed. It seems like you are taking what Bethesda began with their Radiant A.I. system in Oblivion and bringing it to the next level of diversability and adaptability.A big thumbs up from me! 
Oh, that is absolutely amazing!
Sounds really resource heavy though to keep track of every NPC+their pathing in the game but it will certainly be the first of its kind.
Also imagine what the modular way of NPC behavior means for modders. Bears with fishing rods anyone?

Best line in an interview ever. I love the NPC’s already, I hate it when every single NPC sees the player as the center of the universe, really seats me in the uncanny valley.
I enjoyed how scared he looked when he said he was sure he’d seen a bear!

The system of changing the NPC’s behaviour is brilliant, whoever made that should get a damn medal

I expect the AI being very buggy as it is with every AI. Already saw a glitch in one of the videos . But It’s amazing they put the effort in making something complex and something like a universal solution for AI. These things are the reasons why I’m interested in this game actually.
You saw a glitch in pre-alpha version? Wow, incredible …

I was just joking, but you are right that glitch will probably be gone eventually… Wondering if this AI will be released for the backers to test btw.
Question to the devs: Are you going to motion-capture a bear?
I’ve played a lot of games over the years, but I have never seen anything like this! I can’t believe how excited I am to see the project develop.
The best update so far!!! Does anyone know when will be the next update?
damn, they outdid themselves again. and i thought the combat video was interesting. imagine the quality and sophistication of these technologies they’re presenting extrapolated a further 1.5-2 years.
rpg goty, i’m calling it right now.
DEV 1: "Okay, Peter, go put these balls on the bear."
DEV 2: "Psst… hey, is this going to work?"
DEV 1: “Meh, we have plenty more Peters.”
