Improved AI NPCs
Does the NPCs seem like they are downright stupid in the game? Throughout the game you find yourself saving some NPCs and sometimes they can be recruited and you will have control over them. Other times when they are in their AI program they seem to be downright stupid. A zombie will come at them and they just stand there like a an idiot and just accept fate they won’t push the zombie off them and continue to become lunch by the zombie. Other times if a zombie isn’t in the radius they won’t attack at all and have a little dance with their weapons drawn out and they won’t attack. If you go to a missions area they will also downright full send themselves out there in the middle of a horde with only a baseball bat and you have to save these morons. In other games your companion or npc with you will follow you lead. Or you can tell them what to do in a circumstance. Having a better AI would be a valuable asset in this game. You wouldn’t have to save every poor soul out there who can’t act accordingly to the circumstances. If an AI upgrade isn’t possible then integrate a feature where if you with a npc or companions you control what they do and act. If you crouch they crouch if you want then to silently take down hordes you can have them do that. Tell them to attack a plague heart they go forth. There’s games out there that do this feature. And it’s more less stressful for the player.
