you only need to dodge or parry
In the entire game, for regular mobs there are only 4 enemy scripts, each mob only uses 1
1Theres go straight for an attack
2 thers the "im going to run at you but then run away then run back at you then away, and then ill finally attack" Its clockwork everytime, you can let them run right into you, but unless they are done with that little script they will run off instead of hit you. thats not even AI thats just 1 bad script
3. Theres the fleeing, mostly for weak mobs
4. If they cant find you they attack a wall or something
5(bonus) many mobs are actually so weak or badly scripted you can actually ignore them, you might get a slap every now and then but you can literally ignore skeletons and gredwarves
This is going to sound aggressive, but seriously how can you compare darksouls to this?
I mean I like it, and all lol

.......so dumbing down something that being smart against meant....those are all smart strategies for different people :CursedVoodooDoll:

No im saying the game lacks any AI or meaningful combat scripting to require any intelligence to be good at it.
its absurd its only 4 scripts. (excluding boss mobs) and my second example you can totally toy with in game and see what I mean
