Animal AI

I guess this is more of a suggestion... but I feel it belongs here because ESO has (I feel) more realism to it than most other MMOs.
The AI employed for a lot of the wild life in Tamriel is flawed. For example; wolves. Plenty of times have I seen a couple of wolves snacking on a carcass, only to stop what they are doing to come and chase me until a) I am dead or b) they are dead. This is really silly because animals like that would never leave a meal they hadn't finished to go and get another one. They would defend their meal, but even then they are almost ALWAYS more concerned with getting as much inside them as possible before the other members of their pack (the only exception being the alpha male who gets first choice).
In Skyrim a lot of the herbivores would run away at the sight of any humanoid NPCs... in ESO they just wander around as if you don't exist. This should probably be looked at too.
I really love ESO a lot, and I really enjoy how areas you "clean up" actually change. I think that is just genius and I hope a lot more of that sort of thing is implemented, because it's the first MMO I have played where I truly believe my actions are making a difference. Great stuff Zenimax! Thanks for reading.
