    As revolutionary as Black & White’s creatures were*, I usually leashed them in a random corner and played the game without them. The game flowed better when you weren’t forced to act as a glorified babysitter.

    * Which has little to go with Molyneux - Richard Evans was an AI** pioneer that Lionhead was insanely lucky to have on the team.

    ** The old definition of AI that could actually learn by doing, not the modern LLMs that coopted the term.

      With ai powered creatures though. Like. This is the best use for Ai in gaming I could think of. Let them learn and ponder their existence, subvert the normal flow of the game, whatever.

        Nah. Fuck that. Make them do what I fucking say this time, or at least when they don’t it’s because that’s the design and not because it’s a buggy, half cooked mess.
