I am looking for a certain mode pleas help.

[DLC200]

Ok so I am playing skyrim and one thing I notice is the A.I is dumb in combat and so easy.

 

I am looking for a mod that makes combat better an A.I smarter without making them have massive hp that takes 200 arrows to kill or can kill me in 1 shot.

 

For example I want a mod that makes NPC use magic heal their allies when they are low hp or come to their aid and really work together.

 

Is there any mods like that? All the searches on nexus just give me mods thst make nps either 1 shot or damage sponges not actually increase AI teamwork.

 

Thanks

Hi Castania,

AFAIK the actual combat tactic AI can't be modified by mods, other than choosing one already defined; such as ice mage, marksman, etc. Of course there are mods that allow the enemy to use more things that are at his disposal, as you can read in your thread on Steam. Sorry but unfortunately the actual modding of combat AI movement/attack tactics would require an entirely new or updated Skyrim - we can hope for this in TES VI. I'd like to see Fo4 combat AI used in Skyrim.

 

Actually, some NPCs do heal in combat, it's just that there are few of them, and most will only heal once, but I have seen a few heal multiple times. I think that is only when the healer is a mage, I don't think I've seen anybody heal that wasn't wearing a robe, besides maybe Forsworn and Shaman. And I've seen Falmer and Spriggans heal.

 

 

Also, I have to wonder about the usefulness of healing during combat, as the time taken takes away from the time to do damage.

 

 

Good luck with this, I think we all wish for this.

Now that I think of it, ever since Skyrim there seems to be very little advances in AI. Could it be that multiplayer is considered so important that single-player and co-op bot AI is not important enough to warrant the time spent on AI programming/debugging? The exception of late seems to be Fo4 (slightly improved over Fo3). It has been a long time since I seen a remarkably improved AI.

Actually, there are quite a few mods that adjust AI. I havent opened them up to see how they do it, though.

In the CK there are several different areas that allow you to change combat; combat style is the obvious one, but class affects as well, as they will use their skills and attributes to the best they can. Of course the AI tab has an influence; you can keep bunny foo-foo running in terror, or make him ferocious and ill-tempered. And thats all without going up top to adjust game settings and actor values. If you set combat distances to be closer, combat becomes much faster, dirtier, and more deadly without touching HP or Armor.
