Ebbedin AI Discussion

[TheImperialDragon]

This thread will be where I post updates on the AI for Ebbedin. I am planning on looking over the AI packages of various NPCs to see if I can make Ebbedin's exterior a little more lively. Ideas are welcome.<br /><br />No one person will stay outside throughout the day (unless he's a guard or he's homeless).<br /><br />Here is what I'm planning for numbers of NPC Citizens (not guards) outside at a given time of day, I put it in a table:<br />
