I'm not sure they would consider these true bugs, though. They are mostly system failures owing to AI/scripting limitations. Changing some things would likely unravel others. It's not a problem that comes up when you have to kill ten rats for an otherwise non-interactive NPC. Go beyond that, and things get difficult, and the tech is not fully there to solve it in any game IMO. PS: it seems Bethesda's new project is some kind of genetically engineered zombie horror game, not the next ES or Fallout. - Gerry Quinn
