The planning system in F.E.A.R. dynamically replans when the situation changes, allowing NPCs to adapt quickly.

30% confidence

GOAP's real-time replanning lets NPCs respond to unexpected changes, like the player slamming a door or taking a different route. Instead of sticking to a fixed behavior, the AI continuously updates its plan to find the best path to its goal, enhancing the realism and challenge of encounters. This keeps gameplay fresh and unpredictable.
