hi there!
after installing the latest patch of NWN - HotU, i experienced quite some
trouble with AI spellcasters. well, to be correct i experienced way too few
problems with beating them, as they seem to use only the more or less
useless spells and then charge into melee (for clerics sometimes ok, but
sorcs and wizs... oh well). this procedure kinda killed the challenge,
instead of my character. :\ any suggestions how to turn it back to the "old"
way? or maybe how to improve their behavior at least a little bit?

thanks.

Depending on what character you play, wizards and clerics don't pose a
real threat. I'm currently playing a fighter/weapon master (is that the
right English term as I play the German version?) lvl 11/13 and hardly
any enemy is a match for me. I killed the undead dragon easily as well
as the Valsharess.
But in this case I agree, the casters don't do much harm and reading
your posting, I recall that they used to be much stronger indeed.

And here's a thread on Bioware about this problem:
