Is Bodhi "intelligent?"

    [​IMG] What I mean, does Bodhi "learn" how to combat the party based on the first fight with her? We're about to start Aran's final quest and I don't want to use any tricky tactics against Bodhi now if they'll be useless against her later.

    PLEASE NO SPOILERS! We played this once but went back and restarted because we didn't feel ready to tackle Chapter 4 at that point. I know that at the end of the fight when you can't kill Bodhi she says something along the lines of "I've learned all I need about you," and I just want to make sure we keep an ace or two up our sleeves. :hmm:

    [​IMG] No Bohdi can't learn like that. :)

    She, and every other NPC/monster, fight based on which script they have. These scripts don't change.
    That doesn't mean that they always do the same thing. A good script is flexible and makes the monster fight differently based on what the opposition does, but it can't "learn". It's a matter of "If A then do X, but if B then do Y" etc.

    I hope someone from Bioware is reading and sees that I was giving their programmers lots of credit! :o Maybe that's a twist we'll see in teh not-too-distant future...
