8 Times When Friendly NPCs Are the Absolute Worst
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Remember the DJ with three anecdotes in Far Cry 4, loot-mad Sheva in Resident Evil 5, or sloppy drunk cousin Roman from GTA 4? Or how about any escort quest NPC who ever walked slower than you, blocked your path or got themselves killed on your watch? We do. Subscribe for a weekly video of this sort: www.tinyurl.com...
Consider Rabi Ray Rana, radio DJ from Far Cry 4. We have no idea how he manages to keep his job at Radio Free Kyrat when he has but four anecdotes and three songs.
It might be he got the job because there's not much competition for the host of a rebel pirate radio station in Kyrat, given that at any point Pagan Min is likely to turn up and stab you to death live on air.
Nonetheless, getting the same DJ chatter every time you hop into a vehicle is enough to make you crave the soothing sounds of government propaganda.
Repetitive chatter isn't the only friendly NPC foible that grinds our gears, though. Endure our complaints in the video above and tell us yours in the comments below, if you please.

It is not just when NPCs are slower than you, it is when you have the option of walking, and they fall into the zone between walking and running. Leaving you to cycle between running and walking while they go on their merry way.
That's a problem I have in WoW all the time. I'm supposed to follow a quest NPC, but I keep moving past him. Then when I try walking, he ends up getting a million miles ahead of me somehow.
and they precide to galvant into every mob in the zone even iif they have to walk a mile of the path to run into them
when you mentioned WoW, you reminded me of escort quests in LOTRO. the escortee can either be someone like legolas or gimli who you cant win fights without, or someone like lalia who just sits there and cries until all nearby enemies are gone (umin does the same, but he has literally no health and can still be targeted by enemies so he can make an excellent tank)
@111485859779245958782
I remember when there used to be just ONE rescuable NPC in WoW; who was the kind you couldn't survive without. His name was Corporal Keeshan and he was an elite soldier being held captive by orcs. Not only was he able to hold his own in a fight, but he was smart enough to continue moving from the fight's location, instead of running all the way back to where he was before the fight started; like all other WoW escortees stupidly do.
But after Cata, they basically turned him into Rambo and changed the whole questing area.
Khadgar's. Fucking. Servant.
I don't want to "Explore Shatterath" Blizzard! I explored Shatterath 7 years ago, I have places to be damnit!
I need a "The player character is coming, look busy" t-shirt
Ulquiorra Michaelis I need a "The player character is coming, look busy" pair of jeans
That was literally my first thought when I heard that.
Makes me think of what we're supposed to do when a manager comes around.
@@geminigenu this.
Sell it and we will all buy it, seriously!
I swear, Outsidexbox is like something that I could watch on tv instead of youtube
ikr
I use the Apple TV to do that
you remember g4
I agree the content, editing, writing etc are very well done.
reminds me of a way better Jinx TV tbh
How about when they jump in front of you when you're in the middle of shooting somebody, and then complain you're shooting at THEM?
It's a wonder I haven't killed Lydia...
I joined the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion just this way a LOT of times. I was working with a group of guards and they jump in front of my bow after I loose the arrow. And my characters are usually overpowered, so it's a OHKO.
I actually lost solo plays because of that.
"Don't aim that thing at me" then stop getting between me and the things I'm trying to maim???
Especially when they forget how their optimal weapon range works and the sniper HAS to get between you and the very punch-able enemies
Jack did that to me on my most recent ME2 playthrough.
"flies a helicopter high up into the sky"
"Roman: Niko, you are really moving up in the world"
LITERALLY
A worse variation of 2 is when the NPC is juuussst slower than your running speed but juuuussstt faster than your walking speed. Who thought that would be a good idea?
Oh god, that's bothered me for YEARS and I thought I was the only one who noticed that! I'm not insane :D
Sounds like Assassin's Creed lmao
_Assassin's Creed_ AND _The Elder Scrolls._ T_T
+Thelving the Wing and Fallout
I feel like that's the norm...
"I'll have your head!" Shouts Lydia, with an arrow clean in her fucking forehead.
Tis' but a scratch.
Eh it wasn't a knee sooooo.....
I was shot in the eye and yet I'm still killing dragons
Still better than taking an arrow to the knee, apparently. I mean, she just walks it off, she doesn't immediately retire. Unlike all the guards.
At least in some games the character AI is smart enough to get out of your way. For example, I was very pleased with Half-Life 2 followers. They step out of your way and say they're sorry for being in the way. That's like two birds with one stone.
An AI with manners you say?
How about the paramedics from GTA. They ram down 10 people and you to save one guy.
You mean leave them bleeding in the street cause the guy doesn't have insurance
one time i knocked out a person in GTA V with my bare fists and waited to see what would happen. a paramedic examined the person, claimed it was too late then drove off without him. what kind of doctor cant treat a simple concussion?
+very mad guy they used to revive the people and they would get up and fight or shoot you again hahaha
or the cops from gta they are trying to kill you so to get to you they kill everyone in front of you, behind you and on the sides of you lawl
***** To protect and serve
0:30 everyone forgot LEGO companions from the older LEGO games.
they can punch/shoot all the day and not kill a fly.
idk if they are npc anyway.😓
When you try to escape the cops, but the npc's keep shooting and getting the cops attention.
i feel you
Ugh, don't remind me.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger reminder.
+Någon kanal Nooooooo
Saints Row 3
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ!
i could handle that
+Ubavi Palacinki that's from grand theft auto san andreas
Maybe CJ was having a bad day. Or he was drunk.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger no he wasn't. His stupid friend sucks at using guns
That mission almost caused me to break my ps2 at the time 😂😂😂
When you're playing Half-Life and Barney fires about a whole two bullets every minute.
Half Life: Opposing Force, when the friendly engineer soldier rush the sentry and get shot, and he starts shooting you before dying.
or when runs are ruined by barney running into your grenades and not away to open the damn door so you can skip the chapter
or when they don't help at all and you die because matt did not help *saints row 4*
You know what makes #2 especially awful? Some games have been crafty enough to solve this problem and nobody copies the idea. Prime example being Witcher 3. In Wild Hunt there are tons of quests when you have secondary characters walking, running or riding horseback with you; and not once does this come off as annoying. They are rigged to compensate for player speed, even if you have some of the DLC enchantments that give you additional move speed. Say you're on a horse; if you are at a trot so are they, if you gallop so do they, and if you go full sprint they follow suit. Why is this such a hard concept so many games fuck up?
Well having the Alien form alien isolation as a companion would be a problem as it litterealy has two AI brains. One always knows where you are, the other doesn't. As it it actually has to look for you... So when they swich you're done for.
Yet they still get stuck on everything and you still have to make sure they are still following you constantly....
@@kalypso4133 Most of the time you don't have, they teleport themselves after a while or when you reach the destination.
It's just that they don't have the skill needed to go faster than a leisurely, stroll in the park on a lazy afternoon, pace yet.
actually, Lydiot going out an attacking other nearby enemies when we're already fighting (whivh, luckily for me, is the only time it happens) is actually pretty useful because i like stealth kills, while Lydia just charges in, kills anyone who might discover me, and completely distracts enemies from the potential threat lurking in the shadows
or more accurately lurking right in front of them with 100 sneak skill and all the perks except the dagger one
In GTA 4, there *IS* an option to get a cab to take you and your drunk buddy home. Did you never learn how to hail a cab and enter as a passenger, instead of stealing it?
+Charles Finley of course ;) it's just very difficult to do when drunk.
outsidexbox
True... still easier than driving home though ;)
i'm trying to imagine how Mike hails a cab... you know what lets not think about that.
+Khalid Ali lol
YELLOW CAR!!!
I can sum up my suggestion in 2 words: "Hey, Listen!"
What about "Leon, Help"
No.
@@fotm6418 omfg so true unlock the suit of armor and you break your back trying to give her a lift up to a ledge
Curie from Fallout 4 (After you get her downloaded into a synth body). She always has to pick up, and use, every single weapon she possibly sees even if its way worse the the one she's currently using and/or she has 10 of them already. This means that i have to constantly empty out her inventory whenever i want her to carry something for me because I'm already carrying at, or very near, my max capacity and we just so happen to be miles away form the nearest store.
She sure does love her pool cue lol
I gave her a Super Sledge and she would wreck everything, I've seen her kill Deathclaws.
Spoiler alert...
No, screw you, Curie is awesome! I have literally seen her take down a deathclaw with a switchblade
Can use console to lock what she uses, so she won't ever switch.
I freaking live Skyrim... But there's just one HILARIOUS glitch. I call it God Lydia. So I was fighting two giants and one mammoth, and this was like a year ago, and the giant hit Lydia like a million miles in the air, and it took her forever to come back down. You'd assume she would die when she came down...but no. She took absolutely no damage, and continued to fight the giants like nothing. This is why Lydia is my companion till she dies. She doesn't die. XD
Yes I still play skyrim. And yes, I plan on getting the remastered version for PS4 cause I prefer a controller over a mouse and a keyboard. XD
chuckou87
Use a controller on the pc, best of both worlds. Google how to do it, I set up my PS4 controller over Bluetooth using motionjoy
chuckou87 yes definitely just one glitch in Skyrim
Superbouncybubble DS4Windows is better
Honestly? I sacrificed Lydia to the Daedric Princes.
"DOES HE, *BUTTONS*!"
(I'm not 100% certain what that means, but that face says everything)
You guys forgot the one where your companion activates every single trap you tried to avoid
*cough* Jamaica Plain *cough*
[Cough] Veronica in the Boomer section in fallout new vegas [cough]
Ian from Fallout one, because nothing is better in a firefight then getting automatic weapons fire into your back by the guy who is meant to be covering you
I feel you
Basically any npc from Fallout 1 and 2. I had a save in 2 where I was about to fight the final boss and every time the first turn of combat happened Marcus would saw one of my other companions in two with his heavy gun. Given the choice of going back several hours or getting an ending where someone was dead eventually I just let the companion die.
Eh, Ian wasn't that bad R.I.P, He died a somewhat hero.
Guess that´s true...
Im currently playing through fallout 1 again and I decided to get all of the companions at once so I could attack the military base with them. THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THESE FUCKWITS DECIDED IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO USE BURST FIRE WHILST STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ME IS INSANE. GOD DAM IT KATJA, YOU USE IT ONE MORE TIME AND IM LEAVING YOUR SORRY ASS AT THE GLOW
companions in nearly every LEGO game ever
they either get in your way, or they cant actually do any damage at all when punching enemies
or both
I was thinking of that the whole video
+dahelmang me to
Or when in some where if you accidentally hit one they start to arrack you 😂
+ryanizer11 i was stuck in the first level of Lego Star Wars: The classic Trilogy because the AI was so retarded
arent you suppose to play this game with some friends ?
you guys just nailled it with lydia although EVERY other companion eventually does it, it's almost not worth hanging around with one
I seriously want a "The player character is coming, look busy" t shirt.
"The player character is coming, look busy" haha Funny. I'd buy that shirt
Where is the every single companion in Fallout 4: They pick the toughest enemy and start shooting at them with their horrible and weak pipe pistol, and then the enemy kills you while you try to sneak by.
Give them another weapon.
even worse, you give them a great weapon and shit load of ammo...then they chase down a pack of ghouls and are out of ammo...
then make sure they have an ample supply of ammo for their gun. its not exactly rocket science here
+Riftweaver1981 That's the thing. Their AI is so awful that they blow through ammo so fast and end up using their shitty gun again without you knowing.
Frankie Ordant And dogmeat stands in your way ALL THE TIME!
anyone else hate it when you run from a situation and the freaking companion keeps fighting. seriously -.-
because they aren't a little bitch.
Jonxthxn ok what about when you do something by accident like steal something by mistake and then they start killing people like crazy
+mario hernandez that's fair.
Yup, and then they die.
No doubt...I was playing Skyrim in the relatively early stages w/ Uthgerd the Unbroken as my companion...pop out of a cave on a cliffside, and a random dragon swoops over and sprays us with fire, and continues circling & never landing. Now...I'm a melee character with no damaging magic, no damaging shouts, and no bow...she's a melee character with no magic and no bow. I duck back inside the cave because I'm not about to just stand around letting a dragon roast me all day and I'd rather go to the entrance where I at least have a chance of the dragon landing...what does she do? She finds the weakest darned bow in history and shoots what I'm presuming are the most basic, worthless arrows...why?!
Might as well just throw your stupid sword at the stupid dragon instead of expecting your stupid arrows with which you have no skill to do any damage!
That'd be like being attacked by an Apache helicopter & deciding "I'm going to shoot at it with a slingshot and pebbles!"
Tbh even though Pokemon is rarely included in these lists, my vote would have to go for the trade NPC out of the 4th generation who trades you a Haunter holding an Everstone.
And laughs in your face.
What's bad about that? Never played that game.
MyVanir Haunter only evolves when being traded, so you hope to receive a Gengar when the trade is done. Because the NPC gave Haunter an Everstone to carry, it doesn't evolve, and she then proceeds to laugh in your face about it.
I like Haunter, and I didn’t know Haunter evolved by trading.
So it was a nice Haunter for me
@@LevW yeah she's a jerk
You know, companions in Skyrim _have_ a command menu that comes in handy when said companions block your paths--press and hold the "use" button when facing the companion outside of talking distance. And really, that should be more a gripe against Skyrim companions in general rather than against Serana specifically.
I think it's a bigger problem with Serana because you HAVE to take her around for huge stretches of the Dawnguard plot, whereas anyone else you can just dump off somewhere?
You know how, in fallout, if you kill the last aggro'd character, it has a cinematic cam? Well I get constantly jumpscared by those cinematic cameras, thanks to my companions randomly kill anything hostile.
just walking around and then BOOM flying radscorpion corpse.
I know that feeling
I was casually exploring in New Vegas earlier when I heard EDE's battle music and a fucking kill cam of Boone blowing off a ghouls arm, scared the shit out of me.
It's worse when you have them _turned off_, but they still happen, so that it happens when you're solo and you're like "OH HOLY MOTHER OF SHIT"
Boone was infamous for this seeing he could shoot farther than the game could load up.
Literally all the homies in saints row 4, especially CID. Dang robot kept flying infront of my RPGs.
Too true. The only time that I ever willingly tagged along with them was for an achievement. In the standard dicking around, they're just useless.
+Baron Turnip I only used them to get the good ending.
Homies on any saints row are useless, you normally become extremely overpowered around half the story so they just get in the way
I know, especially in sr3, if you just try to mug someone, they just, they just, I mean, THE OTHER NPCS HAVE FAMILIES, HOMIE!
IN SR3 they'd get mad at me and leave if I called them because I like to blow up the enemy cars before the grunts can jump out/while they're standing around it. Homes always run up to the car like idiots after I'm already shooting the engine or a grenade is rolling under it.
what about Dogmeat when you're carefully trying to disarm some landmines or some lasers and Dogmeat walks through them without a care in the world
For the last time, Roman, I don't want to go *FUCKING BOWLING!!*
The npc's standing in the way was way more annoying in fallout 4. At least in skyrim you could sprint into them and knock them back a few feet.
In Fallout 4, crouch and walk into then. They move.
Or fus ro da.
How about a list of games where the supposed main villain is actually a minor villain compared to the real main villain? Examples include the Psycho from Until Dawn, Robert de Sable from Assassin's Creed, and Vaas from Far Cry 3, who takes up the entire box art, but gets killed about halfway through the game.
Pretty sure this is already a thing
pretty sure you've commented this on about 8 videos
My hope is that if I request it enough times, we'll get it.
Robert de Sable's a bad example becasue that's a part of the whole twist of the game. It wasn't fake advertising so much as not giving away the ending.
I'm not talking specifically about false advertising or misdirection, I'm talking about supposed main villains in general, whether it's the result of a plot twist, advertising mistake, or just bad writing.
Kat from Halo Reach god I remember so many deaths from her horrible driving skills guess super soldiers don't take driving tests amirite? ;>)
y i chose to drive
Yes. Kat. I mean, she has to do a 360, and drive 20 meters, in the complete wrong direction, and still manages to drive off the bloody cliff
never let halo NPCs drive for you.....
Same with emile
I was just about to mention this. Her driving straight for a cliff isn't unheard of. And then Bungie pulls this "all the Noble AIs are the same" crap, but Carter never drove me off a cliff.
How about the companions that, having been outfitted in expensive gear and burdened with your extra loot, either betray you or otherwise split without giving you a chance to retrieve your hard-won goods?
First time Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones players remember Orson. That ass hat.
There's a way to get her back
I'm about to finish Far Cry 4 for the second time, 100%, and I've never heard that ice cream thing Rabi Ray Rana said.
I've done the same and never heard that one. But I did hear alot of the other shit he says over and over.
MrMailboss I always get ice cream thing
How do you mute him? Tell me in the name of god.
MrMailboss I never heard him talk about ice cream even though I play the game like everyday.
I think it’s part of a wider segment about Noore’s “gatherings,” in caves. He says essentially that “they’re not serving Chai at those “gatherings,”” and alludes to the fact that there’s actually serious S&M going on at those events. The “ice cream,” reference is that he’s saying that he’s a very vanilla kind of guy (vanilla is a BDSM term for normal, non-kinky sexual activity and people who don’t practice BDSM), and he finds it weird.
No Diakatana? The phrase "I can't leave without my buddy, Supafly!" still haunts me in my nightmares.
Whenever I need Donald to heal me..
Seriously though how isn't Donald from Kingdom Hearts on here?
this
Donald does heal you! Just... after you've just used all your MP to use curaga on yourself...
yep
[During of a tough KH boss] Come on, Donald, I wasted all my MP and items on keeping you alive for this fight, the least you can do is throw me a weak-ass Cure! [Donald proceeds to waste all his MP and items] HOW DID YOU BECOME A ROYAL MAGICIAN?!
Really hope this is on the commenter edition. It's so true.
You know I follow some people around in real life. Have to stay a certain distance away though or else I'll get arrested.
How about when they only are there to get infected like every non-Spartan marine in almost all the Halos in all Flood levels.
Am I the only one who kills all other marines in flood levels?
Personally I try keeping every single one safe like a madman. I'm not crazy about it anymore, but it used to be that as soon as any marine bit the dust I would reload a checkpoint.
+Gavin Hersom what about halo 5 spartans they carnt do any thing right
In defence, the marine's skill levels are randomised with a few badasses mixed-in, but I just blame it on the game that it's so easy to get infected.
Wait theres badasse marines?
When NPCs constantly try to rush you while you're trying look around and make sure you haven't missed anything.
Am I the only one who actually really liked Serana as a companion? She's a great tank, being essential and all, and she's a mage vampire! Awesome!
When you're trying to sneak up on a Deathclaw and Cait just charges in there with a mini-nuke launcher.
The blast killed both me and the Deathclaw...
well at least Cait had a BLAST.....sorry I had to but on a good note the death claw died too?
that ending had me in tears 10/10
The resistance fighters in Half Life 2. Wouldn't let you get through a door.
I feel you
Have a medkit!
+Luke Hickey Here, have a medkit!
+Master0Corvo Hey! patch yourself up!
Sometimes I dream about cheese.
Uncharted 4 got the companion AI right. THEY ACTUALLY HELPED YOU!!!!!! THEY DIDN'T STAY BEHIND COVER THE WHOLE TIME!!!! THEY ACTUALLY HELPED!!!
I've barely played any games with companion characters, but I was surprised when Bioshock Infinite's Elizabeth was actually helpful and kept herself from getting hurt. I thought it would be my job to protect her, not the other way around.
and then you have mount and blade companions
they help you do everything
EVERY.FUCKING.THING
want lore?
companion
want extra warrior in battle?
COMPANION
want to be king of calradia
COMPANION
want to have moar lords for your greatest kingdom of all time in calradia?
COM
PAN
ION
Yeah, but who plays that... :D
I just recently finished this game and it blew my mind when in one of the encounters in Scotland I was trying to stealth kill the enemies and I was about to get spotted. Sam appears out of nowhere, breaks the guy's neck, and then goes into the tall grass to hide again. It was just smooth and casual, as if there was an actual second player controlling him. They made the AI not feel like AI at all. I don't think I've seen any other game do it that well. Then again I haven't played a lot of games.
true, sam is great at stealth neck snapping
HEY NICO???? WANNA GO BOWLING!!!
couisonnn, lets go bowling?
JCDenton 2012 “Jumps off helicopter in mid-air”
What about when you go through the effort to not step on mines but they trigger them anyway... yeah I'm looking at you Fawkes
Dude, every Fallout companion ever. So much for my light stepper perk.
Another follower that aggravates me: Dogmeat. Enough said.
I gave him all the loot and he disappeared...
No thanks. I'm a cat purrson.
+edi lol
+Rhys TheGraveDigger there's mods to turn him into a cat
He dies all the damn time and blocks the door way.
how could you forget when they knock over a buch of stuff when you're trying to sneak
or worse use the fatboy you forgot you gave them -glares at Danse-
Origami Starclopse o shit you gave an npc a weapon in a shooting game and they use it, they should be crucified
No no no, it was the Fat Man that HE found and used, I had no idea he had it until we all died
Ending with Andy’s trick shot is just the cherry on top of this video, well done 🍒
That was one thing I appreciated in Jade Empire...most of the companions were rubbish in a fight, but they could be put into support mode to help you in some way and, even better, stay out of your way. There were only two that couldn't...and they were the two best fighters. Win-win.
Wait if Jane,andy,and mike are the co-editors then who's the editor
Maybe they combine into the editor?
+Szceith Yeah, we're like Voltron
ah man no DBZ fusion reference but your comment still made my day
They're like the borg, a collective of Co-editors

Did you guys actually forget Ms. "LEON HELLLP!" Ashley from resident evil 4 herself for shame guys for shame
At least Ashley ducks when you aim in her direction and you know she isn't fit for combat. The likes of Sheva on the other hand will run right in front of you pull the trigger for a head shot( really not fun if you're using the grenade launcher) or tries shooting through you to hit an enemy.
Skull Revolver Yes true but Sheva didn't get kidnapped every other minute and at least Sheva had the ability to be useful at times. She saved my life more times than Ashley ever did. Also as a bonus point Sheva wasn't annoying as a character.
You have me on that last point I think Sheva gets to me more since you're stuck with her the whole game.
Skull Revolver That's fair.
try watching their viseo about the "companion characters with zero survival instinct." Ashley is like the poster child for that video, literally they use her specifically to reference it.
In skyrim if you bump into a NPC while sprinting, you can knocker them back and they with walk away a bit. But yeah having a spectral assassin companion is much easier
When they discover a trap. AFTER you stepped into it (Thanks, Lelianna!)
I've only just realised now how fitting a description "golf caddy with a load of swords" is for a companion in an RPG XD
Damn Sheva trying to be Link smashing ll those pots...
What about, when they are annoying as fuck? Like Navi from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Hey! Listen!
+outsidexbox Dicks out Humans
what about the pain in the ass girl in resident evil 4 who always somehow gets easily carried off?
The 'Listen!' part actually sounds great in DJ Ephixa's Lost Woods Remix.
+outsidexbox why did you have to bring that up?
How about allies that agro you if you accidentally hurt them.
Or the ones that kill you when they are in a vehicle?
oh, one time when i was playing Halo, i ran over a marine with the tank (in a very narrow area) and the other marines shot me dead!
I don't know if this was a problem with anyone else, but Alistair from Dragon Age Origins would always attack the person I had almost finished killing and then he would technically get the kill and steal my experience. It got so bad that I wound up being a jerk to him in story sections because he pissed me off so much during combat by stealing my kills.
When I first watched this channel, I found the presenting too much and was thinking it would be better with less of of them in the seat and more commentary but if there was ever a time to admit I was wrong, I was wrong, this is a great channel, great presenters, clever writing and just all round enjoyable. Thank you.
Anybody else notice that at the end wasn't the usual outro and so Jane was motioning to annotations that weren't there? ahahhha
This is why I Elder Scrolls solo.
Clearly you haven't experienced the awesome might of Uthgerd the Unbroken.
+Nnox Inkuree
x2
Especially in Morrowind, when you level up your athletics and acrobatics and speed and get enchantments and then just bounce all over Vvardenfell :) Never found any bouncing companions
@Sean Freeman Sorry, I killed her to get the approval of Mephala
I prefer Borghak the Steelheart especially if you equip her with the ebonymail because even though she's a tank she actually has pretty good sneak skill and utilizes it. Her archery is also decent making her useful against dragons both in the air and on the ground unlike Lydia and uthgerd who bows are mostly pointless.
What about companions who betray you without a moments notice. Looking at you Iron Bull
O_o How did you manage that?
+Xenahkiin Daemonheart In the Dragon age Inqusition tresspasser DLC the Quanari are the main antagonists. And if you don't save Bull's mercanary group in the main game he remains loyal to the Quin and so fights you when the Quanari ask him to do it. It's a pretty depressing fight to say the least.
+Euan Foulis Hm, didn't know that, didn't have the DLCs until recently. Good to know. Okay, so I have to save Krem and the guys as usual and everything'll be alright :P
+Xenahkiin Daemonheart Pretty much, it's a far better ending
+Euan Foulis it's a good ass thing I saved them
I am sworn to carry your burden
Got so tired of the sass went out and hired Belrand. Never regretted it.
Sigh, I am swooorn to carry your burdens. ( sass level is over 9000)

Damn fucking right you are, don't you like this enchanted ebony armour?!?
"Roman: you drive like you're drunk..." no shit, smartass XD.
Halo Reach: Kat-B320. Even though she is a Spartan-III super soldier, and there for should have at least a basic understanding of Human vehicles, she always believes that the correct way to drive is off the nearest cliff whenever she's in the same vehicle as you or directly through you while you're shooting aliens.
is "breadbasket" a british word for something? I don't baguette it.
I'm American, and I get that joke...
Yes, but you missed the punny joke.
+Howard Gleason +1
It's a joke referring to someone getting elbowed in the ribs. Breadbasket is a nickname for ribs in quite a few different social circles so I'm surprised it's still a new term to somebody.
+Riley Schmidt Thanks! Have a hug
Strong from Fallout 4. He hates every thing you do including fast travel and will "dislike" if you save kid rather than killing him.
Strong hung out around the spawn point in my settlement and wouldn't shut up every. damn. time. I. returned. So I sent him to a far off place.
Strong disliked that.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger He went to a far away settlement. Here, let me mark it on your map.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger Same. He kept talking every two seconds so I sent him to the farm near Quincy.
+PlazmaCow He would almost always go "Strong hungry!" when I touched down in Sanctuary Hills. I just wanted to tell "EAT DEACON, THEN! STOP COMPLAINING!"
I feel like I'm the only one who likes Lydia, because when she died when I was playing I almost cried and didn't want to play skyrim ever again because she wouldn't be there with me, I also like Roman
In one playthrough I thought she died somewhere (she attacked a camp neither of us could handle, I fast travelled in hopes she'd come with me, she didn't). I filled her room with mountain flowers and gems and almost stopped playing the story quests altogether, just spending hours hunting. When I finally reached the pre-end of the game, I ran back into the house to grab something and she'd poofed in like nothing ever happened.
grunesgryphon yeah she does that, but for me she actual died, I saw her die during the moth priest quest for the dawnguard
+Brandon Wardlaw dude i killed Lydia on purpose, she saw me steal things in my own home and she always acts like she doesnt want to be there. btw i use kharjo as my follower.
Caden May I now have the vampire chick from the Dawn guard DLC Serena I think
"Noo, I no longer have a slave to carry all my stuff!"
Honorable mention to Itermerel in Morrowind. If you get attacked by a rat or something silly like that and let it get too close, he'll launch the mother of all fireballs at it and the splash damage will kill you.
LOved the ending, please do it, the bit of gameplay makes the list different from the usual format.
Two words: Adoring Fan (from oblivion)
MAYBE SHINE YOUR SHOES PERHAPS?
That's 4 words though.
Three words: Oblivion. Adoring Fan.
When your trying to give dogmeat all your junk but the carry capacity is tiny
D O G M E A T S B A C K P A C K M O D
Get another companion then drop stuff and have them pick it up
+Nacho Flash doesn't work for dogmeat
+Fluffy Bunny U S O U N D L I K E A N A S S H O L E
S1MPLYP0TAT0 so getting another companion dosent work 4 u? & also whats wrong w/ a simple mod
Lol @ the Skyrim one. It's like your friend who gets obnoxious and picks fights when drunk but can't back up his own words.
"Remember my super cool RATTATA? My RATTATA is different from regular RATTATA. It’s like my RATTATA is in the top percentage of all RATTATA."
And this is why I never use companions in Skyrim.
WHERES PIERCE FROM SAINTS ROW 3

Oh come on! You're going to tell me you don't like when he sings. That man has the voice of an angel on crack.
*****
the trouble with clones dlc was the best when he sang like aisha.
I don't mind the first one, as long as they're not blatantly staring at me while I'm doing all the fighting. It makes me want to turn my weapon on them. And on multiplayer mode, a slap to my cousin's face.
You can hail a taxi when your drunk in GTA 4,and it's like the funniest shit. Niko starts screaming at the taxis with phrases such as "yellow car" etc.
The "when they walk slower than you" gave me flashbacks to that dwarf from shadow of mordor. Where you doing a normal walk while hes talking will still make you go faster than him
what if their "bread basket" has "bread" too small for pain?
What about those times when the NPC is completely indestructible, can kill enemies almost instantly, and is way more relevant to the plot than you? It's patronizing that they make you tag along and basically play the sidekick in your own game.
what game is that?
Off the top of my head the earlier CoD games before they started slaughtering off cast members like pigs, MGS2 where Solid Snake makes you look like a chump near the end, TLoU where Ellie not only gets an indestructible knife and way more plot importance, she is hardcoded to be ignored by enemies unless you are in combat, lure enemies to her, then leave her to fend for herself AND wait for an enemy to grapple her to death which can take a whole minute. Compared to Joel who can get one shot by a clicker in 2 seconds and gets a shitty breakable shiv. That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others.
Or in the Metro games, when you hang around with, well... Literally anybody else, who are guaranteed to be not pissing themselves like the player is.
Miller and the Rangers are way cooler and more effective than Artyom could ever be.
+Future Ruler of Ukraine Especially on ranger hardcore where sometimes the npc's will kill all the enemies before you get a chance to shoot. Not to mention Khan is probably the most useful character in any game ever.
George Sears In the last of us the only use ellie has been to me in terms of combat was handing me a medkit and stabbing a guy from time to time
When they stand in your way. Dogmeat Fallout 4.
omg dogmeat, not only blocking doors, standing behind you in combat, running into you when your disarming mines, running away when trying to trade, knocking you off ledges, clearly an institute synth
OR Brahmin getting stuck in houses.
When they get captured so much that pretty much the entire game is just you saving their ass, like Ashley from Resident Evil, or Baby Mario
For 4 and 7: The guys from the end of half life 2. "Don't forget to reload, Dr Freeman!" I know, I have been playing HL2 for hours at this point.
That particular line becomes even more annoying after you realize that the game automatically reloads inactive guns after a certain amount of time.
1:19 somebody make this happen
I'd buy that
"piper get out of the f&3k85g way no go there not there" . fallout problems
Dogmeat is even more of a problem
See, that's why I love X6-88. He doesn't sass me when i tell him to go stand in a corner and not bother me while I kill like Piper does. Or sass me when I give him items or pick up tons of garbage, also like Piper does. Basically he is the king of anti-sass.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger he is also one of the better companions.
+Glory to Arstotzka Plus I like the Institute, anyway. They're my favorite group.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger wow I thought I was alone on that!
More often than not O|X is so funny my ribs hurt or I almost piss in my pants. It's not the games but the dry wit of the hosts pointing things in them. It adds to the fun when one who is speaking gets berated by someone off screen. It's especially hilarious when it touches on a game you're playing or situation you've been up against. I just had to deal with an immovable character. That's why I laughed so hard when they commentator said nearly the exact things I said or thought when dealing with the situation. I was also reminded of Jericho from FO3 who would run after a mole rat while while I'm fighting mutants. It doesn't hurt that the vids have a couple of lovely birds on. I check out some tubes I might've never watched.
I *WAS NOT* expecting a Buckfast reference from Andy and I absolutely didn’t expect the use of the full name 😂😂
I find it kinda funny how they film the ending with the hand gestures like "down here" and then someone edits the stills to be in the shot, then the minute Jane changes they put them down below again.
Awww I actually liked Rabbi Ray Rana
Rabbi Ray Rana was god
He was the best
Same here, he's awesome
He was the only reason I got into vehicles
has anyone got bacon
i gotta defend Sheva here. She ONLY looks for loot if you have her on "attack" (hold circle + up). this can be very useful when you are done with a fight or if you are in a big area without enemies, because she will pick up everything for you. She will know if a chicken around the corner (out of sight) dropped an egg and will go pick it up. During combat just put her on "cover" (hold circle + down), then she'll keep close to you, which makes resuscitating faster and only use her weakest weapon. You can easily beat all chapters on Pro with an S rank if you know how she behaves. I agree that coop is more fun though.
SAO Abridged Kirito: "Sachi...you set them to auto-loot, didn't you?"
is it me or the lip sync is not in sync
Same for me
Same here as well XD
same here, glad i'm not the only one.
What are you guys talking about dawg?
+Dami Dami their voices are not in sync with their lips
It honestly amazes me that as many improvements in games we have, we still have NPCs that are just a massive pain in the ass.
Fallout 4, Preston Garvey.
His unlisted "default" weapon is a fairly powerful (at least for the early to mid game) laser musket with infinite ammo. But due to how the game treats unlisted companion inventory items, if he sees any other weapon, even a basic pipe pistol, he will pick it up and use it instead. The result is that you'll be constantly going into his inventory and taking away any weapons and ammo he might be carrying, just so he can keep using his good weapon. And then he runs over to where you dropped it, and picks it up again.
