Skyrim: 10 Glaring Problems Everyone Always Overlooks

4. Clunky AI

Whilst the combat itself isn't exactly stellar, that fact isn't made any better by the AI attributed to many of the enemies. A lot of them are comical in terms of how they act. Being able to sneak around without anyone seeing you, despite every facet of logic dictating that they should, is funny, if not game-breaking.

Not to mention that enemies can't follow you past certain doors, making climactic bosses fights hilariously easy. The AI is incredibly exploitable and the game is broken because of it. Every game has its exploits, but when the natural progression leads most fans to use them, it's a problem.

Not to mention it breaks immersion when you are frantically fighting off a hoard of enemies and accidentally back out of their range, only to watch them all get pulled back to their original positions, defusing any dramatic tension.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
