The recent article about Sawyer and "evolving" RPGs got me thinking: When was the last time I played an RPG where the AI felt like it was doing something new?
After pondering this a while, I think it might be Baldur's Gate 2, which had some pretty decent scripting in its mage battles.
So, a game that came out 18 years ago is the last major evolution in RPG AI? If true, that's pretty sad. No wonder so many new RPGs feel like rehashes of older games.
What do you my fellow Codexers think? Has RPG AI stopped evolving? If so, when did it happen?
