Watch Dogs 2 will sometimes have random citizens exercise their second amendment rights when poo poo starts going down.

Just now I jacked a car and the driver pulled a pistol and took a shot at me as I drove away from her. I can't think of another open world game that does that.

Hate to be "that person" but GTA did this.

In San Andreas I would regularly carjack old ladies who'd pull out a pistol and take pot shots as I drove off. Not to mention some peds were randomly picked to be "criminals" and they would pull out a gun to shoot at police for no reason.

I am all but certain I remember drivers doing it in original top down GTAs too. Also sometimes happened in Mafia 1 I think (not 2 though).

That was one of the main features in 2 and 3. The maps are divided into hoods, and each hood is controlled by a gang. Gang members have a chance to spawn in hoods they control, and they're armed with that gang's favored weapons. If they're in your gang, you can have them follow you and help you. Otherwise, you can taunt them to get experience at the risk of having them call friends to attack you.

I'm pretty sure civs could shoot at you if you jacked their ride, too, though not sure if they'd join in on shootouts.

One of the best things about SR2 is that the peds are complete assholes. They'll carjack you, run you over, crash into you, whatever. You constantly look a their behaviour and go "but... That's not fair" and it makes you feel so much better about cutting loose and murdering them

Just got Watchdogs 2, and so far its been really fun. A vast improvement over the previous one. Some things:

-Your bros are the best. Wrench's Robin Hood style of Anarchy, the way that Josh nerds out about hacker lore or making wikis to help people learn about their vulnerabilities, stuff like that. It really helps the world live.

-Holy poo poo I hacked people by staying in one place and using the car hacking skills to get the poor shmuck chasing nothing. One guy rage-quit after running past my van about five times, shooting at random cars speeding off.

-I kinda want one of those sling-weapons that Marcus has.

All in all, I'm a few hours in and loving the heck out of it.

The sling weapon's apparently something the developers got by researching a whole bunch of home-made weapons people have made (going along with the whole hacker/Maker community vibe), and what it is is apparently an eight-ball with a hole drilled through it on a sling.

Also I had far too much fun with one player where I just sat on a roof while chasing them around with the Jumper and mashing the taunt button while they searched frantically at street-level :allears:. If you want something to work towards, get the ability to remote-drive cars ASAP. There's a few missions that want you to steal a car, and it's generally possible to get it out of the restricted zone by clumsily mashing the drive commands until it's facing the right direction and accelerating. Plus you can use it to really gently caress with players while you're hacking them.

Honestly I never even bothered to roll anything else. It was just witch doctor all day every day.

The Crusader is also a lot of fun, just for her personality. With a class name like Crusader, and learning that she left home as a child to join a fanatical order of wandering religious warriors who each take the name and armor of their mentor when their mentor inevitably perishes, you'd expect the Crusader to be a hardass religious zealot, right?

Nope, one of the first conversations the Crusader has with a villager worried that she's there to convert everyone by the sword is to say nope she's on a crusade to redeem the good name of her faith and fight evil, and people are free to believe whatever they wish.

The Crusader then proceeds to agree with everyone that life sucks, and she'd have it no other way. Companion asks what the Crusader would like to happen to her when she dies? Just strip her useful gear off her and toss her body in a ditch, she'll be in heaven so who cares what happens to her body. NPC at a loss and looking for a purpose in life? "Join my crusade! The work is hard, the rewards are few, and you'll most likely die!"

You can talk to her sire in the lead up to the final boss. It's pretty great in that it's basically mom chat of rehashing embarrassing childhood memories and reminding her she's not getting any younger and should think about kids (read: a successor to pick up her armor and weapons after she dies in combat).

Also a good use for parking garages. My co-op partner would announce himself by hacking me and about half the time I'd blow him up; the other half he'd goad me into blowing myself up.

When I hit a dog in WD2 I didn't close the game but I did feel worse about it than any of the humans I killed.

Game also has a weird bug where if you see someone walking their dog and pet the dog it breaks the link between dog and owner so they both wander off in different directions afterward (after turning around and saying "aww, how cute!" because they see you petting a dog).

Also, when I started up WD2, I thought for a second I saw my e-mail in the code strings in the intro when they're flashing by.

Turns out, I got an e-mail from Ubisoft Club welcoming me to WD2. It was my e-mail, displayed as part of the in-game lore. And I almost forgot I had UbiClub, since I never use the drat thing.

Well played, Ubisoft.

Humans disgust me. Vile creatures.
I remember in Fallout 4 finding a merchant who was holed up in her little shack with a bunch of cats which seemed like the cutest thing ever until I looked at her inventory and found "cat meat" on there.

Then a little while later I went back to the Abernathy Farm and found out that you could actually kill the cats in the game because the Abernathy cat had died in a previous shoot out there and NO I DON'T WANT TO COLLECT CAT MEAT FROM THE CORPSE YOU BASTARD GAME.

Man, you would hate the games I play in Dwarf Fortress. I have whole civilizations and economies built around the slaughter of kittens immediately after they're born. Dorfs eat gourmet kitten meat dishes served in sauces made of kitten blood and rendered kitten fat. Clothes made from tanned kitten hide. Literal tons of crates filled with kitten bone scrimshaw to be traded away for booze and more cats to be slaughtered.

DF is a good game.

I finally got Rimworld.
Starting a tribe game (high starting population but very low tech).
A pet cat went crazy and was put down by a tribesman. This caused a chain reaction of fights that killed all but one person.
They had a massive infection and decided to start fires randomly and die from starvation.

I had a lone wanderer game where my dude was in a pissy mood, a cargo pod fell from the sky full of cocaine. Dude has a drug binge mental break, proceeds to snort the entire thing until he dies from an overdose and I get a game over.

In Skyrim, there's a sidequest you can work through: to either fight for the Imperials, who are trying to keep the empire as one after signing a contentious treaty, or join the rebellious Stormcloaks, who are trying to keep their religious practices and way of life.

I chose to help the Stormcloaks, and directly after the rousing final battle, there's a moment where you're led to believe what you're doing was wrong to start with. Defeating the Empire is just a stop-gap solution and bigger, tougher trouble's on the horizon. I thought it was a really smart moment - that there will be consequences for completing your quest and you're not the ultimate-god-hero-who-is-the-best-and-always-right, like in the rest of the game. I actually felt like my work had been tainted.
