Here's an interesting snip: GS: It's already been made clear that the sequel will try to do a better job of not forcing players into direct fights. Can you discuss some of the enhancements you'll be adding to things like stealth and diplomacy? Will the sequel have any new ways to resolve conflict? HS: We're spending a lot more time on the AI. Paul Tozour (interacting with other AI-experienced Ion people, like Doug Church) is putting together an overarching AI system that works for DX2 and Thief 3. Also, Brian Sharp is writing a custom sound-propagation model for the games. In DX2, if you go into an office to loot it, and you close the door at your back, the sounds you make in the office will be muffled by the door. In addition to these wholesale systemic changes, we're tweaking out a lot of the biomod powers so they allow the player to sneak, exploit the AI, and so forth.
