For those of you that think Blade and Sorcery NPCs are too easy and dumb, I suggest downloading the SharpAI mod. It makes the NPCs more aggressive, counter when they block your hits, immediately react and attack back when they are hit, dodge and attack, surround the player faster, can not be disarmed, and more resistant to being knocked down. 

WEBM related, a most shameful display
