BAH. I do not like the fact that whenever you kill anyone two guards are automatically there. The original was not like this and when they did come is was between 1 and 3 guards. Also, if there is a group of people, like in a bar, and you kill them all there are two guards trying to kill you for each person you kill. None of them ask you if you'll go quietly either, they just start attack. This is outside of Trinsic after the copy-protection, so it shouldn't be like this.
Also, whenever someone attacks the avatar, your companions do not attack them. They just sit there.
When there are a few hostile guards around and you turn on combat mode, your friends will not attack them.

Also, sometimes I walk into Iolo or Spark, I believe it happens with any person, and they become stuck in you. This is a little irritating since your movements are then limited.

Yeah, the guard bits really need to be reworked. Someone has to go
play the original BG again and see what they're trying to accomplish, and
quit copying insta-guards from UO.

Well... is it going to stay the way it is? or is it going to be changed?

I really think it should be changed because it's just plainly lame.

Also, another bug with the guards is if I attack them, I can run around dodging their attacks while my friends kick the @!#$ out of them and they will not attack my friends at all. They attack the first person who attacked them, not the the last person to take off the most damage [which I think how it was in the original, or the biggest threat].

It should be one of these attack strategies, not first person to hit them...

errr... stupid

looks like tenchi's cutsey anime faces wiggin out, hehe

The guards worked correctly for me when I stole stuff. I didn't attack anyone though. One came in and asked if I would go quietly. I said yes and wound up in the prison in Yew.
