In Ultima IV, non-player characters, NPCs, wandered around a small area, not 
straying too far from their initial point.  Guards would follow you if you 
attacked but wouldn't resume non-attack mode.

In Ultima V, some NPCs were had a routine they would walk every day.  I assume 
it was a walk triggered by the time with each endpoint being a random localized 
walk as seen in U4.

Incremental development timeline:
 (1) Walk to parent when asked in a straight line
 (2) Walk to parent while avoiding obstacles
 (3) Daily scripted routines
 (4) Daily routines that account for interruptions and tangental actions
 (5) Scripted interactions with other entities
 (6) Dynamic interactions with other entities and people

I haven't considered how users will program or develop their entities.
