Favorite Random NPC Moments ...

I'm not talking about the preplanned things like the "tell error" from Fusionette and Faultline in one of the RWZ missions. I'm talking about those things that happen sometimes that just make you chuckle or gasp or otherwise react to an in-game moment ...

For example, here are three ...

Way back when, on my first toon as a lowbie ... doing one of the Vahzilok missions and the Reaper says, "And shall XXXX save you? I think not."

What blew my mind about that was that it was the first time I ever had a villain refer to the name of my toon or someone else's I was teamed with ...

And what really blew my mind about it was that the person he referred to wasn't in the mission any longer!

(Nowadays I realize that it must have been his mission and he just logged out before we finished it, but back then I was wondering how the heck that NPC had known I had been teaming with my friend earlier in the evening ....)

On my Peacebringer shortly after having gotten White Dwarf, and I'm fighting Skyraiders. I'm heading through one of those narrow doorways in human form when a Skyraider comes through and draws his machete to attack me ...

I go White Dwarf.

And he turns around and runs away!

(Guess fighting an eight foot tall humanoid lobster was a bit more than he had signed on for ...)

And the final one was that I had a hunt Council mission in Bricks, and there's two mobs of Council nearly side by side. One is just one guy doing the whole preaching emote. The other one is a group of three.

I felt sad for the lone guy because th eothers weren't letting him join in on their Council Games ...

I go in to attack him, and he does the "Prove your worth to the Council" speech while I take him out ... and his "buddies" don't even look over ...

Poor lil Lonely Council Guy ...

This one's not mine - it's my husband's.

John has a character who's a tank, I think, with a very spiffy helmet, armored gloves, belt, and boots... and nothing else. He's wearing an undershirt and briefs. The character's name is, appropriately enough, "2 Po 4 Mo".

Anyway, John can't go ANYWHERE in game without getting the weirdest looks from players, but as he jumps in to save some random mugger's victim, smacking the Hellion into next week, the victim runs over, looks at John, and goes...

"Nice costume."

Cut to John practically crying from laughing so hard.
