fume0101 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I was browsing the site for mods that improve the way dragons behave and how difficult they are to face. Whilst reading the comments I realized that the NPC's don't behave as they should when dragons show up in towns and settlements. I remember seeing the Skyrim live action trailer, and before the dovahkiin shows up, everyone including the guards start running for shelter. The guard even shouts "RUN!", and rips off his helmet. This is how I wish the NPC's AI was coded from the get-go. The way I see it, it would help to improve two things; Immersion, and dragon difficulty. Without the aid of civilians and townsfolk, dragons are less distracted, and more focused on the player. And immersion is pretty self-explanatory. I'm not sure this is even possible without the Creation Kit, but I thought I would put the request up anyway, in the hopes that someone might have an Idea to get this accomplished without it. Specifics: NPC's should flee from dragons the moment they hear the first roar. They should attempt to find shelter indoors, or if none is immediately available, then anything with overhead cover. Only if there is no cover, should the npc's attempt to stand their ground. Certain tough, and combat-experienced NPC's should be exempt from this, as well as the obvious NPC's that are followers. Perhaps there is some way to tweak the Nord Battle Cry so dragons cause NPC's that are "receptive" to it's effects to behave in such a way. I have no idea the complexity of doing this with or without the creation kit, but here's hoping someone is capable and up to the task. Thanks.

Striklikl Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Guards? Since when were they brave? They're always going "Oh god, I need to pull my skirt up in case dragons come swooping down! oh noes!"the only time they're brave is when they're against the lone hero after he picks up a broom by accident trying to talk to someone. You better pay the 25 gold fine for picking up that broom, or else the entire town guard will charge in and murder you! ...to summarize, guards should run too. They're cowardly bullies.
