Monsters AI is like 5 years ago

[311alien]

I don't understand all these problems with the AI as every single time a monster saw me from a fairly long distance (if I was using the oil lamp that is) it will chase me relentlessly until either I got killed or hid inside another room, wardrobe, etc. I learned to use the lamp as little as possible and just ignite the odd torch on the wall from time to time. Hell the Prison level was the scariest thing ever.

"Hell the Prison level was the scariest thing ever" - Hell, I'm with you on that...I've never felt utter darkness in a game until the prison level. You NEED the lamp and the candles/torches. I couldnt believe how dark it was and how it made me so nervous/anxious. What a great job FG did. This Smokem guys obviously missed the point of this game.
