Your kidding right
Just try this for starters....Add a building in the editor....use your scroll mouse to zoom down to it slightly.. Press "TAB" (the model is now locked )
Zoom in more and you will see the roof vanish and you can see inside the building....Select an entity.. A bed maybe, a chair.. anything that would go in a room and now you can just place it anywhere inside the model...then press "TAB" again to release the model once finished ...It opens so much potential for building your own layouts etc and you can re edit the stuff inside the same way anytime you like
Then the theres the new new F9 editor layout...with entity mode now fully working again...Then the new AI...Loads has been added
As for the NPC's if you notice they have different funcions..Defender which hides and waits you out...A peeker...you can edit the Lua and they are a lot smarter than before...The list could go on
