Cool 2.0 moments

[Springheel]

Was just watching a 2.0 LP of St. Lucia, and got a tickle from one of the new 2.0 features, where friendly or neutral AI now greet the player. When the LPer walked into the bar and looked at the drunk, the drunk turned and said, "Hello there," before taking a swig from his bottle. And when the LPer went into the building with the beggar who was squatting there, the beggar looked up and said, "I don't want any trouble."

Cool.

 

I need to work on giving the player a character type.

 

Then a mapper can have the player pretending to be a Lord, or a City Watch guard, or a Builder, and the player will receive the appropriate greetings from the AI.

 

Atm, the greeting is selected from the generic set.

That would be very nice, I would like to see missions where you play as a guard or a lord trying to stop a thief from breaking and entering or something like that.

 

Or maybe, what if when this is done we had a role-reversal level for Knighton Manor??

It could allow for some interesting infiltration missions, where you have to impersonate someone to get through a checkpoint, kinda like the first level of Hitman that I always managed to mess up somehow

[ungoliant]

I'm not sure how this could be achieved without 3rd person or body awareness, or some silly indicator icon on the screen that tells you that you are dressed as someone else. Also, I'm fairly sure that the AI are simply not up to the task of behaving like a believable thief, as long as they don't jump, mantle, crouch, sneak, climb rope, stick to shadows, or anything like that.

[Xarg]

You could open the infiltration with a quick camera fly-in showing a [person you are impersonating] standing where you begin, then do a teleport out of the ai, and teleport in of the player. Failure to remain concealed shouldn't require any kind of external "thing", as doing something wrong and people freaking out and calling the guards should be notice enough... maybe.

[stumpy]

the neutral AI in the buildings in 'saint lucia' greet the player if you don't try to knock them out, can't remember them doing that before version 2.0.

I saw two guards greeting each other appropriately in an early hallway in Requiem, superior to an inferior & reply. It was the first time I'd seen it work so well. It does add a nice touch.

Playing requiem last night, I heard the watch guard captain say "Stay out of my way" as he passed another AI, who replied with something like "As you say Sir". It came across as a very realistic encounter.

 

I haven't looked through all the AI improvements but the level of realism in the AI is noticeably better all round, so well done. I also for the first time heard a guard commenting on how nice my boots were after he killed me, nice touch. :-)

Actually this is the same encounter I saw that I mentioned in the post above yours too.

[Springheel]

Yeah, the greetings are sounding pretty good now. I noticed while playing Dishonored how much more varied and more believable our AI greetings are than theirs.

Same here Heard this one too when playing through this room

You could...

simple try to keep in mind which "dress" you put on at last.

I just vandalized the statue of St Lucia!

 

After searching a bit, the nearby guard looked at the decapitated statue and said: "Bah! Let an acolyte handle that!"

[SeriousToni]

Hahahaha I like the cool ai comments xD

[HipCat]

I had just used a flash bomb on an AI. I was lining up an arrow shot, just a little too late. The flash wore off and he yelled at me and brung his sword back. I, at the same time, shot at his face. I happened to hit his eye. He yelled "AHH! My eye!", and was blinded, again, long enough for me to hit him with a second shot.
