Amusing NPC / World Events
« on: February 06, 2017, 12:22:00 pm »
So I didn't see anything like this in the first 5 pages of threads, so if there was another one, it's old...

So what amusing or unexpected world events or NPC things have you seen - especially "emergent" ones?

Fallout 3: Yesterday I finally wandered over to Canterbury Commons, but I'm almost at level 20.  Shortly after introducing myself to the town, a deathclaw wandered in and killed all but two of the townsfolk before I could dispatch it.  I found this hilarious for some reason.

In Skyrim, without fail, random NPCs will follow me into Breezehome. Guards, couriers, the lady outside Warmaiden's, the little girl I hate. They will all follow me into Breezehome, look me straight in the eye, deliver some totally inconsequential random line, then leave, mission complete.

In GTA: San Andreas, when driving an ambulance with the signal on, NPCs will drive off to the side of the road immediately and without question, even when they're next to a cliff and they send themselves falling to their death.

Also in San Andreas, NPCs have a tendency to really misjudge when they should be diving out of the way of incoming vehicles. During one of the first cutscenes, where CJ is being driven in a cop car, I once witnessed a hooker dive under the oncoming cop car as it was turning at an intersection. The cutscene carried on as if nothing had happened.
