Don’t forget that a thrall with a shield tends to bug out - it holds the shield up and doesn’t fight at all.
The only solution that worked was to knock him down with a horse - but you can’t do that in dungeon.
Otherwise, to the overall discussion .
It is interesting and I believe FC could have programmed the NPCs better , technically the NPCs in Conan have year 2000 level AI.
But I don’t think the problem is that they couldn’t make NPCs smarter. The problem is that the AI calculations are server side and we’re talking about dozens at a time in real time - the servers just can’t keep up , after all it only takes 20 people on a server (which is half the capacity) and the AI is practically shut down completely.
EDIT
It would be interesting if the thralls (at least the ones in a party) could be set to behave like they did in Dragon Age - and just like there it would depend on the level , the higher the level , the more options …
