BeyondUnreal caught up with Legend Entertainment's Scott Dalton for a quick chat regarding their upcoming first person shooter, Unreal II. They look at everything from the particle system to mod support. Here's a clipping:

QAPete: What are some of the AI changed/enhancements in Unreal II: The Awakening?
Scott Dalton: There are a ton of AI changes. I mentioned the scripting system. With it, you can basically take over and control any guy in the game. You can make him autonomous, where he'll just do his normal AI, or you can give him objectives, where he's sort of scripted but also sort of autonomous. He has an overall goal, but he's also acting on his own, where the end result is he wants to reach that goal. So, we really have a fine amount of control, we can take over a guy completely, force him to do something exactly how you want him to do it, or have him be autonomous, or anywhere in-between.
