Whats your favourite moment caused by an in game enemy or allie? (cut scenes dont count)

This didnt happen to me but i thought it was funny and awesome at the same time

First, i personally LOVE all the dialogue in Mass Effect. You never know what's gonna come up in those elevators!
Also while playing Jade Empire (I guess i'm a Bioware fanboy) on the Jade Master difficulty the friendly NPC's are actually effective. I spent an entire boss fight just keeping a boss shocked while the NPC hacked at her w/ his axes. It was like a ten minute fight and the Boss could kill you with 2 hits so the AI was a great help.

Can't remember the game - probly Asasins Creed - I shot one of a pair of guards, the other walked on for a moment, stopped, turned, looked at the body for about 15 seconds, turns back, says "It must've been the wind" and walks off.

I was playing Unreal Tournament 3, and I was atop a tower while a distant enemy tried to shoot me with the link gun. He fired a burst, and it missed to my left. He adjusted his aim and it went off to my right. This continued until he ran out of ammo.

Hands down my favorite AI in any game is Tenchu: stealth assassins and Tenchu: 3. They are so ridiculously stupid and forget that they ever saw you if you hide behind a stick for 10 seconds. Then they shout threats like "I'll find you" and "show yourself" as you sit next to them and stab them. The only difference in one bad guy to the next was how much health he had and how often he'd block, but I had so much fun leading them around and drown in waist deep water.

In the original F.E.A.R., I swear it's the first time I've been outright outsmarted by AI.

I came around a corner and saw a guard walking past a window towards a door, "OK," I thought, so I crouched and sighted down my scope where his head would soon be as he came through the door... So I waited...

Next thing I know I have a frikkin grenade bounce off the door towards me, and he leans through the window and starts shooting me! I had to run away and regroup. I'll admit I was stunned for a minute, and my arse hurt (not sure why ;) ). I ended up karate kicking his ass all over that level after that.

I'm gonna go dig out my old install disc and spawn a rocket launcher just to see who comes out on top this time haha.

In Oblivion i spawned a skeleton in a town and killed it, then a guard comes, touches the skeleton and says "Its still warm" and walks off like nothing happened.

why, BF:vietnam, just today, I knifed about 8 people before they fianlyl shot me, while 2 tanks (one on my team, the other not) just sat right next to eachother as if no one was around...ah ain't AI grand?

Impossible. When a summoned creature is killed it doesn't collapse to the ground, it just disappears.

He spawned it in using a cheat code.

I have to admit Assasins creed had sme funny gaurd AI and glitches

I'm playing on Delta Halo, hiding in the first temple to let my shields recharge. An Elite says: "You, go check it out." A Grunt replies: "No, you go." Then I hear a plasma rifle firing.

First, why bother lying about that?
Second, knowing he was lying is amazingly nerdy
and Third, Godfather police are the worst in history, they kill more people than you do trying to get your car, and just leaving a part of new york will stop all persuers, no matter how many people hit your radiator.

Oblivion, I was going into an oblivion gate to save the duke of Cheydinhal's son,and when I finally meet up with him. I'm told I have to help close the Oblivion gate while protecting him and his one surviving buddy.Ok fair enough, but at the first Freakin' deadra we see they both charge it which causes it to turn towards the lava, fall in, and die. BUT, thats not the best part. the Son in all of his brilliance decides to jump in after the deadra and get himself killed. Even after that feat of intelligence, The son's buddy decides to pursue the deadra as well and jumps in too.Thus, my reward is effectively ruined by suicidal escortees.

Radiant AI, isn't it?

When I was playing the original Halo an enemy Elite actually managed to sneak up behind me during a firefight and whack me in the back of the head. Rather embarrassing.

Lol o the little grunts in halo one were great. The best ones were when you stuck them with a plasma grenade. Phrases such as "Get it off! Get it off!" "Is there something on my face" (priceless) and of course when they do the good old fashion "NNOOOOOOO!!!!" and run over to three of his buddies as they try to scatter and all explode. Oh yeah, if there is ever a formation you need to break up, stick a grunt :)

My personal favourite was "NOT AGAIN!"

Oh yeah! I forgot that one. Loved it.

I was doing that as well, and just as I'm halfway across the bridge, The guards that were guarding the trolls(for one of the Daedric quests) I freed ONE BLOODY MONTH AGO charge in and assault me. At this point I got all pissy, and used my homemade spell, which i named "Sucks to be you!", all I can say is that it involved lightning, fire, ice, massive damage, and massive radius. of course because the game hates me the spell moves in slow mo(for some reason) giving the prince ample time to run smack into it. Watching him fall down the tower into the lava was worth it though.

Ages ago i was playing starwars battlefront with my cousin on the map hoth i was a sniper & i used my recon droid, i flew up behind a stormtrooper and got ready to fire, a split second later an AT-AT came crashing down barely missing the stormtrooper followed by two snowspeeders crashing into the AT-AT. Then the stormtrooper turns around & says "I think i hear something"

Oblivion has some really dumb guard AI. I once had a stealthy character who used a bow. I shot a guard in the face with a lightning arrow and he fell over all dead and crispy and what-not. Then a guard buddy of his comes over, looks at the body for a second, then walks away saying "Must've been my imagination."

Oblivion...

Radiant AI, isn't it?

And now, an example of Radiant AI working.

My current run-through of Oblivion, I challenged myself not to use the fast-travel. In addition to "discovering" almost every damned place on the map, I leveled up quite rapidly via running and constant-casting spells (as several of my major skills were magic based) and as such, I couldn't fight anything without risking certain death, so I unintentionally became a stealth-based character.

Needless backstory out of the way, now to the heart of the matter.

Finding myself doing several missions in the southwest corner of the map, I stumble across the ruined Miscarcand, where I know a vital piece to the main mission, if I ever get around to that (70 hours later... not so much), is stashed, so, I think to myself "As long as I'm here, I'm taking it." This, of course, incurs the wrath of the undead king of Miscarcand and his zombie army, but stealth-based me manages to slink away unscathed, although not before being spotted briefly.

A few in-game days later, I, working for Malacath, free the ogres from Bleak Mine. The Bleak Mine guards also somehow manage to spot me (and talk to me), but never attack. Again, I scamper away scot-free.

Another few in-game days later (it's coming, don't worry), working for Sanguine, I incur a bounty. Rendering myself invisible, I carry my bounty across half the map, where I finally turn myself over to the Skingrad guards (having gotten my money back, and having three things to do in town, I no longer felt like hiding). Having paid my dues, I find myself outside the castle courtyard where the Bleak Mine guards are in battle with the king of Miscarcand and his zombie army.

Sheer awesomeness.

Well, needless to say, I stuck around (well cloaked, because I know they who they were really after) and watched the ensuing madness. The undead king and one zombie make it out, um, alive, and I think to myself "Well, let's see how far I can take this." Allowing myself to be seen, the undead follow me the rest of the way across the bridge (yes, this was fought on a bridge. High off the ground at that.) where we find a town guard. The guard manages to off the zombie, but the king gets the better of him. Leading the king downhill, I enter Skingrad proper, and I am soon followed. The king gets the better of yet another guard (remember how tough those guys are) before finally succumbing to the Surilie brothers, crazy old Glarthir, and another two town guards.

Being followed for days by two separate groups of people who want you dead, and you don't even know they're there? AI at it's finest.

He's never survived past that bridge. And they're supposed to be the Elite?!

Another one for Oblivion. Steal killed a person with a fire bow. He bursts into fire and flies at the wall. Another person walks over.
"Damn rats."

Since when do rats have flaming arrows!?

I've got another oblivion one, it seems to be full of them:

I just entered that tavern in Skingrad( the one that has that alchemist master living in the basement) and listened to two NPC talking about grapes and mudcrabs.

then they suddenly started beating the **** out of each other, then the rest of the bar joins in.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

There's a mission where you have to hunt down this gang on your 4-wheeler go-cart thing.. I had been playing that level for about an hour (yeah, I know it's not a terribly difficult mission, I guess I had an off-day or something) anyway, I finally beat it, and was watching the sorta cutscene at the end where Spanish goth girl whoever is thanking me for doing such a great job and whatnot...

A Frikkin' airplane crashed upside-down in the background and the explosion killed me, so I had to do the mission AGAIN.

i had the same thing happen to me,only it was in one of the triad missions.

In Halo 3, turn on the "I would have been your daddy" skull, you hear some funny shit!

I remember I stuck a Brute, he exploded, and the brute next to him said "THAT WAS MY LOVER!!"

gotta love the Halo dialogue.

OH OH in GTA4 there are two female pedestrians who, when you pass by them, have a short moment of dialogue that goes like this:

"This cigarette is my breakfast, And lunch."
"You can say THAT again!!"

Trust me, it's five times funnier than you think it is.

I had a problem with that. One guy starts beating the secret cult lady in the Skingrad tavern.
"Shit, it's the mythic dawn!"
I say to myself. After joining in on the fray, I kill her easily. However the guy she was fighting, the lady behind the bar and a customer all start to attack me. I run outside and get busted by the law.

So what? If I kill her now it's illegeal. Kill her later, people respect you?! Such a broken game.

Hey, those guys were heaps of fun to fight.

Oblivion AI problem #8
I was running around Skingrad having just received the Cowl of Nocturnal. I entered the gate and a guard approached me to make an arrest.
I said no and we engaged in me running away and him following.
Him and four of his comrades chased me into my manor (Rosethorn Hall) where I cast an invisibility spell just before they entered the house.

The genius coppers then proceeded to approach my maid, kill her, sheath their weapons, then leave.

Now my Skingrad is a bleak city populated only by essential characters and corpses...

Assassin's Creed Guards.

No contest in my opinion, apart from the woman in Oblivion that rakes her carpet indoors.

im off to plat oblivion now, if anything crops up, which im sure it will, ill tell you, oh and heres one anyway, i was sneaking throught the temple of moths and i got a little close to one of the blind monks, who said "I'd better keep off the ale, im starting too see things!"

Same thing happen to me iamnotincompliance :D

One time when I was laying siege to anvil with the fighters guild on my side and the anvil guard on the other. Once the the anvil guard was dead I started terrorizing. This lead to the most amazing thing. The citizens ran from me unarmed and then I saw a redguard lady run picked up a silver long sword from the fallen anvil guard and confronted me! I slayed her, but I will forever respect that fair redguard lady.

best npc moment for me was on army of two when i was pinned down by a turret and i didn't even command the npc to do anything yet he charges out into the field and chucks a grenade right at the thing giving me the opportunity to take out the gunner.freaking awesome.
