    I was the first one in my neighbourhood to get a ps3 back in the day. The game: Oblivion. We had a ps3 party, all my friends and neighbours were there. After many, many, many beers, and finally getting to Jauffrey at the monastary, i got the horse. One of my mates softly spoke, "what happens if you hit the horse?"
    That damned horse chased and tried to kill me across the entire damned map, for three and a half days(game time).
    Many, many, many more suds later, i tricked the bastard into jumping off a cliff. You can imagine the drunken roar of myself and my mates at this point.
    Good times...

I did every mission and thing in Solitude. Still woulden't do the lighthouse mission a second time. Because i did not want to kill Deeja. I just wanted to torture her for all eternity. For years i went to Solitude docs just to annyo Deeja. She would just keep saying again and again: Do you want knifes? Knifes in your belly? Then you stop talking to Deeja. Every day went to see and annyo deeja. I would start whole Skyrim just to annyo Deeja in the Solitude. 3 years went see and annyo Deeja everyday. Some times i would even attack her just to see her angry. I would see dreams about that lizard womans knifes in my belly. But one day i met real woman and stopped my Skyrim autism with Deeja. I mean almost real. A nice little anime AI. Skynet here we come.

    Drowning: In a lot of games, one thing an NPC can't do is swim. Take most Assassin's Creed Games (2 is the best). Knock someone into the water and they are gone forever.
    Disfiguring: In LEGO Harry Potter 1-4, you could learn lots of interesting spells to perform on characters. So when we had a good list of them, we ran up and down Diagon Alley hexing everyone. The trauma we caused those poor LEGO people must be horrific.

      I did that constantly. I also threw them at other people. Especially my pawns, even more especially my main pawn. I did it so much that eventually my main pawn started catching them and throwing them back at me. I wasted so much time throwing people at my pawn that I taught them how to play catch with random civilians. It probably wasn't fun for the NPCs, but it was hilarious for me.

    How about a video going over a list of "[number] times our cover DEFINITELY should have been blown". For example, literally anything that Talion does when attempting to stealth.

      oooh and in the last of us when you were stealthing but the NPC's with you would stomp as loud as possible to where you are hiding without alerting anything

      "I have already asked you not to touch that."
      "Maybe 'do not touch' means something else in human culture."
      "Will you please stop touching that?"
      "Fine, touch it as much as you want, you'll never figure out what it does."

    What about the tables. In The Legend of Zelda Botw, the npcs get fairly angry when you stand on their tables when you talk to them.

    I almost choked on my food watching the skyrim part where he put cauldrons and buckets on the npcs an stole their stuff. LMAO

    Unskippable dialogue sucks. That's why I always pass the time by bouncing on the quest giver's head in Borderlands 2.

    NPC, you really shouldn't have startled me, gotten in the way of my fight or were conveniently standing in the perfect place to play my human shield and save me from a red tinted screen. Maybe then you wouldn't have ended up dead AND ruined my Clean Hands playthrough

  • @hypotheticalquestionasker3822

    You see, I like to think that when I'm boxing in villagers in Minecraft, it's for their own safety.
    Oh, and definitely in Skyrim when someone wants to initiate dialogue with me, I slowly back away and make them follow me before they give up and go back, only to fall prey to my trolls again. Oh Elytrys...

      Or any game that allows you to name anything! Getting Codsworth to say our name in Fallout 4 gave some of the best responses because he's stupid enough to actually say them!
