Georg Zoeller, Designer

AI & Stealth: FYI: using a third party AI package in your override may cause monsters not to loose you correctly while in stealth. Also stealthing while the monster is already starting its action for the round against you will most likely result in staying visible for them.

David Gaider, Designer

Missing Female Voiceset: No, we cut it. It was bad (as in stinky-poo).

AI: Yes, we do see the complaints about the henchmen AI... and obviously we're going to need to put some time aside to work on it for HotU. Certain things, like asking your henchman not to cast spells and getting them to activate detect and stealth modes are already in the works. Further tweaks are forthcoming. The only problem with tweaking the AI, really, is the potential for introducing bugs that it can introduce... and in our specific case we have to watch what AI changes do in the original OC, as well. Hence every AI tweak comes with a heavy QA cost. But I agree that some work is really needed.
