I think the bots are just awesome. you have to consider that killermonkey created them on his own - that means one guy fighting against a thousend problems. learning by doing. frustrating nights and technical setbacks. now as they were released they work fine in the majority of cases. and that's just impressive.

Exactly. In a commercial title you'd probably have a group of people working on AI and as we know most commercial games can take a minimum of 2-3 years to be released, what Killermonkey has achieved in just 1 year on his own is remarkable.

@markpeterjameslegg and @The Cy: Don't get me wrong I understand the bots are very impressive, yes they are, but in the first post by markpeterjameslegg he said "they're so human-like sometimes you forget they're bots." With such high praise like this combined with the experiences I was having my point was that I just thought I was missing out on something. However since the behaviors I've noted are being considered the norm then that's fine. I understand that creating bots can be a very difficult task especially if only one person is creating them.
I appreciate everything that has been done so far, I look forward to the future, and I apologize if my previous post seemed so negative.
killermonkey:
This is great feedback. The hardest part about coding ai is that most of the behaviors don't appear with a short testing session and common problems may be missed or overlooked as sporadic.
I am taking all these reports seriously and am working on the issues. I have a real passion for lifelike ai, I have big plans for what I have created for future projects, so perfecting the basic issues now will go far for the future.

In console, type in ge_bots_difficulty 9
This will put them into 007 mode and will be a bigger chalenge

Obviously I meant, they're great and human-like when they are functioning as normal, not when they're stuck on steps or doorways or just standing there like statues, I am just accepting the negatives as the positives far outweigh them.
