I guess you got a bum copy of the game, because my NPC's are just peachy, i.e. smart enough to know that you don't burn a clip at anything in sight. The only time they start to burn clips is when my real characters are getting maimed (unconscious, serious, etc.), and that's exactly when you DO want your NPCs to do that. Your last statement makes me think.... if you clone an NPC, do you get a controllable (PC) character? Its been a long time since I cloned anyone, so I don't quite remember how that works. Mike
