We like our stupidity organic, thank you.
Over at Rampancy.net, OldNick (who works in the game industry) has written a rant that tears into Bungie (and every other game company who scripts unnecessarily) for negating the artificial intelligence of its NPCs with scripting. It turns into a screed against artists, but the basic premise (that dumbing down your characters by forcing them to behave in specific ways when said behavior is detrimental to gameplay) is an interesting argument. Check it out! Thanks, Narcogen. Update: Marty O'Donnell threw in his own two cents to the conversation (and the post by our own Miguel Chavez is worth reading, too). (Louis Wu 15:12:24 UTC)
