You're probably right. Lionhead have had good AI experiences with animals/creatures/dogs, but not really with people. And this is the only thing that was mentioned at x06 that hasn't been mentioned since, we've heard about the tower, lucien, the pigeon poop and that. Magnificent 7 would be cool but in fact we've heard veeeery little about even villager AI let alone NPCs

Well, they had some fairly interesting examples of villager AI during F1's development. Sadly most of that stuff didn't seem to be in the actual game. Don't know really why as some of the examples were given fairly late in the development... the thing with the troll fighting team, people gossiping, etc. Was it all just a big scam?
I don't know... maybe Xbox kicked them in the nuts?
I think that this time, the NPC AI is going to be quite a lot more complex... we've seen "Concrete" screenshots that have stuff like gossip. If they really have actual gossip in the game it has the possibility to create some fairly interesting gameplay, especially with things like crime, etc.
I just hope there's a way to view the NPC AI at work from "outside", without our influence.
