The obligatory Fallout 3 : Radiant AI hilarity thread

I figured that we needed this thread because, not unlike Oblivion, the AI is broken and leads to all sorts of glitches, bugs, weird behavior and hilarity usually ensues.

Here is my first video :

Impressive combat AI indeed. What happenned is that she saw me from the other side of the lake. She jumped into the water and got stuck there, not knowing what to do...I just had to put her out of her mysery, otherwise she would have spent the rest of her life there.
 
Fresh out of the Vault I encountered a Raider who demanded I give him everything I had or he'd beat me senseless. I told him to fuck off, and he preceded to run like a little girl.

oh waht? riders you can dialogue with?
 
I'm pretty sure that's made up. I have not run into any raiders who can dialogue, they shoot first, talk never. You can talk to regulators and Talon Mercs, though. But you wouldn't have enough karma one way or the other to have either of those groups meeting you at the gates of Vault 101's cave.

There are some raiders outside of the Vault entrance, but they are not directly outside of it, you have to head towards the bridge to run into them. But there are no dialogue options with them. What maybe Sicblades is talking about is, occassionally the raiders will yell things as they are charging you. I've never heard them demand money, but perhaps they did? Otherwise, if he is claiming dialogue options, I'd have to ask to see some screencaps of this.
 
Actually I can verify that.

Walking back to Megaton near Grayditch I was stopped by a loser who tried to mug me.

I had the option to use perception and accuse him of having an unloaded gun. He took off running.

Worst mugger ever.

Really? Wow. I will have to keep an eye out for this then, but that's closer to Grayditch you say? Hardly 'fresh' out of the Vault, you'd have to travel a bit to get there. But thanks for the info! I'll keep my eyes peeled for this one.

Coincidentally, I think I screwed up. I had Dogmeat with me near the minefield, and didn't even stop to think, I just turned back to him, thinking the minefield too dangerous for me to keep him alive through, and told him to "Wait for me at Vault 101." Yeah... I'm pretty sure he's dead.

I ran into the very same somewhere north of Rivet City on my first playthrough. I'm quite certain that he wanders around, so meeting him right outside 101 is a distinct possibility.
 
Oh, videos?

Not mine, but:

Epic combat

BoS swimming...what?

Hilarity in jumping to your death from Tenpenny Tower...and not dying. The "why hello thar" is the real win, tho'

Best way to steal stuff - pick it up and walk away.

Mezzing two NPCs makes for hilarity
 
So R in RAI stands for Radiant? I thought R stands for Random...

As for some examples... Here's one:
I freed some Captive near Rivet City. He thanked me, gave me some stuff and said something like: "Those Mutants won't get me again". Then this poor bastard ran away in the direction of Jefferson Memorial straight to the spot where some Mutant was standing...
 
But... but... but.... FO2 had bugs!

Hehehe... anyway, I remember all the shit in Oblivion that went wrong due to the advances in "radiant AI" and it's nice to see what will probably be "Game of the Year" really up the ante.

Great job Beth.
 
It doesn't up the ante. Bethesda severely slashed into Radiant AI and limited its functionality, often replacing it with scripts. It still messes up what it can, but it has been tied down to mess up less.

It's honestly not nearly as bad as Oblivion was.

yeah, it's "rediant". After what Beth has done to it though, it should be dubbed "retarded". BTW, nice vids, Brother None
 
I wish I had a better machine to play this game, so I could record some videos to proof how dump this game is...
