Boast of your Character's Feats!
« on: February 01, 2012, 11:27:01 pm »

Just post about characters that had something really awesome that they did! It doesn't matter what media they were originally from, just that something cool happened in the game. It could even have ended with them dieing horrendously, but you should still post it!

I'll start, shall I?

In Skyrim one of my characters fought off a flock of bandits and two dragons at once. It was quite the epic fight, trying to dodge breath attacks while slaughtering bandits.

Not so much video games, mostly because I CBA to remember any of those, but my current character in Rift's Paranoia game has had several rather hilarious incidents in our first two sessions.


Steph-R-BEH-2 has successfully played frisbee with a live demopack, succeeded against all odds at [REDACTED], gotten into a fistfight with a kidnapped traitor while travelling through a transit tube, dodged laser fire while unconscious, and [REDACTED].



As for vidja games, well, the only thing that springs to mind is my (currently) endgame Terraria character, with a couple full sets of top tier items.

Actually it caps at level 50 in Skyrim. My character in Skyrim is a master enchanter, and soon to be a master alchemist. When combined it becomes unstoppable killing machine that tosses people tens of feet in any direction. (I'm in the middle of looping between enchanting boost alchemy equipment, and alchemizing boost enchantment potions. Shenanigans will ensue soon enough.)

As for my most epic character? I'm playing a dark whispergnome rogue/assassin/scout in a d&d 3.5 campaign and I'll be damned if I'm not abusing the hide skill. Hide in plain sight, and a +38 to hide is amazing. Not to mention the damage I can do. Move 10 ft. and attack and I can do 4d6 skirmish damage, and 5d6 sneak attack damage. Fun times.

In Fallout: New Vegas, I had a Small Guns oriented character, low strength and endurance. No good in a fistfight, to say the least.
I went through the plot a little too fast, and ended up fighting a group of enemies a little too strong for my guns to put down.

So I did what anyone would do in my situation... shoot up a ton of chems and jump in with a combat knife.
I won.

In 'No More Heroes', I Killed Dr. Peace on my first attempt after being beaten down to one pixel of health during the first half of the fight. Easily one of the greatest boss fight comebacks I've ever preformed.

And, in terms of forum games:

I unleashed hell with my eyebrows.

heh just recently on Champions online some Idiot challenged my telepathic "mind" archtype. to pvp.... I spent a good twenty Minuets showing them why that was a bad Idea, spamed Sleep followed by hypnosis until they logged out because they couldn't so much as MOVE much less attack.

In video games? Abusing Giants in Skyrim to murder everything thats outside. I killed at least 40 bandits without ever attacking.

I once had this character John "Fitzgibbon" (the name roughly translated means that he was a demi-god of lightning, but I started him as a level 1 character.)  Did a whole bunch of fun random crap with him, like walking halfway across the continent on a whim pretending he could play an instrument that he couldn't even tune.  He once bested a giant in a duel without sustaining a single scratch.  He was a champion wrestler and the best marksman in his clan but his true claim to fame was as master of the ancient and arcane arts.  He once diagnosed this broken artifact in a single glance when the sages had been pouring over it for days to no avail.  I loved getting him completely random titles.  He was a chicken feather alchemist, a captain of the blue fleet and certified by the underwater salvage guild of the largest federation of his world.

Might fit more in Other Games.

I'm currently playing a Water Orc Battle Sorcerer in the Western Marches D&D 3.5 game on this very forum. Fairly normal Proud Warrior Race guy until combat begins. He proceeds to chop people apart with his great swords (space recommended by Criptfeind.) and occasionally uses magic to enhance this.

In Skyrim, I took on the entire garrison of Markarth and won. It all started when my Nord (A true son of Skyrim!) took offense to the Thalmor diplomats. I gave him a hefty slap in the face that may or may not have included a lot of fire, shouting, and lightning hands. Just because he couldn't take an equivalent insult (How dare he besmirch mighty Talos!), his guards started attacking me. I defended myself, and suddenly guards started pouring from everywhere! I was forced to make a tactical retreat, but ran out of room next to a cliff by the river. I decided to make a break for it, charging right through the pack of ~20 guards. With a little help from Fus Ro Dah, I knocked most of them into the river below, where some of them died upon impact. The rest started getting cut apart by a swarm of slaughterfish while I finished the remainder of the people on the cliff. When I was done, I dove in afterwards and started hacking away. When I emerged, I had almost two dozen Markarth Guard Shields.

I killed everyone in future-detroit and no one seemed to care. And I was meticulous about it, too. Turns out those cops that roam the streets are surprisingly tough!
This after, in the intro mission, disarming the bomb, then shooting each of the hostages in the head. I also killed the swat people at the start of the level for their sweet sweet combat rifles.
I am currently working on hengsha, which is a bitch, because that place is FULL OF PEOPLE. Oh my goodness. The hive alone was absolutely ridiculous. I got slaughtered dozens of times before I managed to pull it off.

The little bar on the second floor. Silenced pistol everyone there; no one notices. Then take out the people on the balcony. After taking out a few, people notice. The screaming starts. And the ten billion security guards in the place all rush up to meet me. Lure the first few into the little nook, shotgun them. Then I see the rest sort of mulling around in the short corridor between the balcony and the bar. So, I take out my rocket launcher (because, if you are going for a total massacre play-through, you need the rocket launcher. And the combat rifle. And a pistol. And the sniper rifle. And--- yeah I had to upgrade my inventory to full pretty much immediately). Pop around the corner. Fire the rocket. Duck back around the corner, down a few beers to cure my wounds (massacre Jensen is alcoholic Jensen), use the flechette upgraded combat rifle to take out the survivors despite my drunken haze.

Anyway. I'm still working on it.

Oh, and this was before talking to hong. So after I got the quest to talk to him, I go back to the hive, wade through the sea of corpses, and talk to the guy who is happily tending bar to a dozen bullet-riddled security guards.
We do our little conversation. I pick the options like 'tell me or I shoot you' and he says
"Look around."-I oblige. Yup. That sure is a lot of dead guards. "The place is filled with guards. What you gonna do, kill all of them?" (Paraphrased)
Now, I may have a... unique sense of humour. But that right there... that is straight up comedy gold.


In Skyrim, I took on the entire garrison of Markarth and won.
Oh, yeah. I've done something like that.
I was playing stormcloaks (obviously). But mixing it up with the main quest. This was my first playthrough. Then this woman tells me I need to go to a party in... Solitude. Capital of the Imperial influence.
And my standing with the imperials is kill on sight.
Now, I didn't take on the entire garrison. For one, there are a number of unkillable dudes who will fight alongside them, so it would be impossible. For another, I'm fairly sure they just keep spawning more guards. But I did have to fight allll the guards at the gate. Then fight alll the guards just inside the gate. Then, still fighting the occasional guard, and one really annoying unkillable argonian fellow, look around for where I am actually supposed to be. Then, once I found the place, fight a few guards who were in there, as well as a steady stream pouring in from the street, then talk to the guy I was supposed to talk to, stopping the conversation every thirty seconds to kill the guard who has been wailing on me for the past fifteen, heal myself, and then resuming the conversation.
And then the guy asks me to give him my best armour and weapons, so I will have something to wear for this really important battle where you can't take any armour or weapons with you but they sneak some in.
I do not carry around a spare suit of armour.
So I had to take the piece-of-shit armour the guards wear, put that on, and then hand the guy my armour and weapons. Luckily I carry around a few spare weapons, or otherwise I would have been completely screwed (my guy was no mage). I then fought my way out of the city in shity guard armour.
All the while thinking to myself: this party had better be the shit.
Arrive at party. Party is worst part of game. Could have easily just massacred my way in here.
...
It was an equal mix of annoying and hilarious.

Augh... there's been so many...

The first thing that comes to mind was my Half-orc (read: orc), guzzled down a barrel of vinegar thinking it was booze, he then developed a taste for vinegar.

I once had a guy who took on 2 consecutive monster zoos. Which in the same game fell plagued to a sudden collapse of the dungeon.

Don't really know if this counts but in civ-V I had a starting group of scouts become one of the greatest infantry units of all time, with quite a few kills under their collective belts.

I've once had a cleric defeat an end-game boss, alone, with a physical attack.

I lead a creature to almost take down an epic monster of great proportions.

This is all just what I can think of as yet...

There is an mmo called World of Tanks, 15 players a side, each in a tank. No respawns. In a tank destroyer I managed to get a 7 one-hit-kill streak. My team still lost. I actually cried.

Due to repeated lucky rolls, I managed to kill a space marine squad with only a laspistol in Warhammer 40k.
