Sims AI is amazing in their obtuseness. Particularly their inability to stay away from fire - had one sim about to get into the car for work when a fire happened and he ran all the way inside to scream at it until he burnt to death. The only sim that didn't budge is the one eating toast three squares away from the fire.

Kimmalah posted:I don't know if they ever fixed it, but used to you could get an entire city to kill each other if you just dropped something like a cabbage in the middle of town. I'm just now playing it for the first time since a bunch of friends picked it up for 12$ from that sale last month. There's a quest where a higher-up in the thieves' guild named Frey becomes a temporary follower. 'Temporary' followers don't displace your normal follower if you have one and generally can't die since they're plot important. Anyway, this dude is supposed to unlock a door for me. Except he doesn't because Bethesda. I stop caring and go do other quests or whatever with this guy tagging along and making angry comments about the still-locked dungeon I should be clearing. At some point in a different dungeon I run across a locked master-level chest. Since lockpicking is pretty bullshit I tell my other follower to open the chest (followers ignore locks entirely) and for some reason Frey immediately goes hostile to me. I leave the dungeon and fast-travel to Whiterun assuming he'll die to the guards. Nope. I arrive in Whiterun and Frey immediately takes a swing at me and gets swarmed by guards. When plot-important NPCs 'die' they just stagger for a few seconds and revive, so I accidentally wound up creating the Terminator. Wherever I'd go he'd be there, pissed at me and completely unkillable. He's still there and has demolished at least two towns trying to get me

I just installed a bunch of mods for skyrim, and unwittingly hit a mod conflict between "Immersive Patrols II" and "More NPCs". Immersive patrols makes it so every major faction in the game has realistic NPC patrols, ie the Stormcloaks will send out small groups to patrol the roads and towns of Stormcloak controlled holds, and the Imperials will do the same for their areas. There are even patrols for the smaller factions, beefed up a bit and given greater range and increasing their spawn times. It makes walking the roads a little more interesting. And it adds a few "Battlefields" where imperial and stormcloak troops will meet, beat the poo poo out of each other, then the winners will take control of a nearby fort, increasing patrol spawns for that faction until they decide to do it again a couple of weeks later. More NPCs is a mod that just adds tons more npcs to the wilderness. More bandits, hunters, treasure hunters, faction groups, just heaps, everywhere in the wilderness. It adds perhaps maybe too much, but its a lot of fun when you're sufficiently levelled and it makes it so travelling on foot is interesting, since between any two points of interest, you're just about gauranteed to run into at least one or two spawned enemies/friendlies/traders who you can travel with, fight or trade with. Or watch fight each other. Sadly, these two mods mess each other up, horribly. Well, I say horribly, but the only bad thing about it is it causes frequent crashes. When they're not causing Skyrim to crash, the mods create just the most violent and ridiculous Skyrim experience I can imagine outside of console commands. Fresh character, I get to whiterun. It has like 40 Stormcloaks patrolling around the gates. 3 treasure hunters, 2 bandits and an imperial soldier attempt to rush the gates, and get slaughtered. I enter Whiterun. The street outside the blacksmith is awash with blood, from the treasure hunters and bandits and Whiterun guards that are all getting their poo poo kicked in by the 15 or so stormcloak soldiers in town. I enter the blacksmith. The blacksmith and his wife sit behind the counter, looking upwards towards the second floor as a Thalmor Justicar guts a female treasure hunter in their bedroom. I turn, and leave the blacksmiths. The street is again filled with the cries of bandits getting their poo poo wrecked by guards, then the guards getting wrecked by stormcloaks. I run up the stairs to the coutyard where that priest yells poo poo, in time to see a thief and 2 bandits get curb stomped by a necromancer, who in turn gets decapitated by a random Nord. I leave whiterun. The stormcloak army outside has grown, and as I leave the gates, 4 bandits, 3 imperial soldiers, a treasure hunter and an entire caravans worth of kajit spawn in through the gate with me. The stormcloaks, now numbering in the low hundereds blot out the sun with their arrows. They then all turn and leave, on patrol towards Riverwood in single file. The patrol train reaches into the distance and over the horizon. Skyrim crashes. Also, I cam across an Imperial patrol with a Stormcloak prisoner. Suddenly, a frost troll and three frost spiders came out of the forest, and the prisoner sprung free from his bonds, ran into the forset and slaughterd the monsters alone, barehanded, then jogged back to the imperials, and tied himself back up again. "This does not concern you, citizen."

Otherwise you're probably going to have to reload an old save. And next time, tell your other follower to wait a distance away or dismiss them - Mercer probably didn't unlock the door originally because they blocked his path at some point and for some reason that can gently caress him up. Also entirely possible it's just a Bethesda moment, but it's something worth trying. Thanks to this post I also learned that the guildmaster of the Thieves Guild has his morality set to "no crime" hilariously enough.

Kimmalah posted:NPCs will still get killed by the guards because part of their scripted behavior is to pickpocket or steal and occasionally they get caught. I'm leaning on the side of 'working as intended', though it can cause some pretty silly poo poo. In my last game of Skyrim, I came across an imperial being attacked by a bear. Without thinking, I shoot the bear with a staff of chain lightning, which arcs to the imperial, killing him. I see "1000 bounty added to The Rift" and grumble about having to reload my last save. I kill off the bear, and "Last witness killed, bounty removed" pops up on the screen.

Well, you can't have anyone bear witness to a murder. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a game where you can be ratted out by an actual rat.

In Skyrim I've had situations where I snuck up on a horse and one-shot backstabbed it and had the bounty notice and "all witnesses eliminated" notice pop up right after each other. They can witness their own murder no matter how quickly it happens.

I had been overcome with lust for Roy the first time I laid eyes on him in the nude gay humantaur bar, one of my favorite places not only because it's one of the few nude bars I know of, but especially because the gorgeous muscular tall young naked guys there all have four arms and four legs! Even among them, Roy stood out. He was beautiful and broad-shouldered, blonde and with a rare and very sexy four-armed, six-legged body. He was very sexy and muscular, and set all of the naked humantaurs' huge hardons a-sway when his giant, gentle body bumped theirs in the crowded bar.

There was an incredible Skyrim mod that let you get a staff which summoned dozens of tiny men who would attack anything you pointed them at. You could also create different coloured little men and they would fight each other in itty bitty wars.

There was a game for the Playstation called Fighter Maker where you could give your guy an instantaneous one-hit instakill that spanned the entire screen. The winner of any match was whoever hit the attack button first as soon as the round started.
