He happens to know that the AI in dom3 builds castles and that you get more gold in dom3. Now you know as well and may want buy dom3 when it comes out

So Arralen was wrong on that score, but I am not sure that gets us to "close-minded."

Will the viscous ad hominem never end???

Yeah, I like the runny ad hominem a lot better. Easier to digest, too...

It's great on crackers, especially those little baked ones with seasame seeds on them. Mmmmmm!

I think any broad statements saying that the "Dev's are not going to do X" are pretty close-minded. Because as far as I know there are only 2 devs that would know whether or not they are going to do any particular desire that anyone may have. Also they may have any number of reasons that you may or may not feel are reasonable for doing or not doing what it is you don't like.

I just think it's very close-minded to get into wailing and gnashing of teeth that you have no idea is or is not going to be changed.

Obviously this thread is to talk about why people would or wouldn't purchase Dom3, but making up reasoning for the Developers that you have no idea are true or not is giving IW almost no credit. And I think they do deserve some, obviously they want to make as good a game as they can with the resources they have availiable.

I agree that Dom2 is pretty poor for single player, and it would be nice if this could be fixed somehow.

Allowing for some form of scripted AI might be nice, in that people could create scenarios and AIs that were fairly challenging for the average player.
