A few different times tonight there seems to have been somewhat of a gameplay issue involving listen checks, or just the 'aggro" radius" of monsters . The locations were:
Itu Skoven - Start a fight with one Ancient Treant, ended with a steady stream of about 8 at a time.
Salamander Cave - Pulled a group of 2 Salamanders away, ended up fighting about 13 different creatures in less than a minute.
Blaustein cave - Got to the end of the walkway, and what started with 3 Reavers turned into everything up to and including the Huge Water Elemental at once.
Dementlieu, Quartier Marchand - Got off of the boat from Blaustein, immediately caught by 1 small bounty and two bullies/thugs. Within a minute (mind you we were blocked at the docks and quickly surrounded) it was 2 Gangleaders and a mix of about3-4 Bruiser/Axe Murderer bounties and their cohorts.
Typically I don't mind a good fight, especially since its always in a group with some sort of buffing going on, but in all of these locations it made the dungeoning next to impossible, not to mention very long seeing how as a rest was needed after every pull.
-Edit-
Not saying that the actual strength of the monsters is off, we have done these places before and found them appropriate for the level range with a decent sized/built party. But the sheer number of enemies blocking either your escape route or simply mobbing you until you die makes for a pretty annoying adventure.

Same experience - Sullen woods, shadows
Group of 4-5s attacked, within a minute the whole spawn of that map was on my neck. After the battle, only 20% of the spawns remained on this map scattered around.

Werewolf Cave near the Village of Barovia

Same with the blaustien cave :/ everything gets pulled right to the entrance :3, if you manage to kill everything there's about 4-6 hostiles left to kill in the entire place, if your lucky :P

Hmm, this issue reminds me of this thread (http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=23131).
Can't imagine what's causing it... Maybe the AI is learning! :shock:

Pft, they are just drawn to the amazingness of our chars, we cant help it :shades:
-
Definately needs adjusting. On my high, mid and low level PC's they were all pulling entire dungeons. NOT funny when you're in Perfidus!
-
This would actually save me time rather than cause me problems... lol
-
Hmm, I'll try to lower the distance.

or call will smith he has xp with A.I that learns

Ahahahahhahahha

Hah, well, it is actually a matter of not making the AI too smart and realistic.

well their listen is way too high, with 40+ hide and 37+ ms i get noticed a lot when i sneak around invisibly. Many a times only stopping in invisibilty helps, however sometimes even that does not do the trick, since you have to walk out of their range to fade from their "sightˇ".
