Synapse is not a scientist
3. now this would take a lot of programming and some copyright permissions, but if possible, to have a new dialogue variable with Kalida's dialogue in the VEAT arcs when you fought her so before the fight she demonstrates her 'psychic powers' by saying "So, I see you like to play [Insert Steam or another NC soft game here]!" a la Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid. |
I think the Signature heroes should say some cliche' dialog just for the sake of the comic book genre. Like Statesman shouting "FOR JUSTICE!" or something along those lines. Just my opinion. =P

It seems like a nice day... FOR SCIENCE!
Have you tried new Hamidon flavored gelatin? I think it tastes like coconut.
The other day I tried signing up for Hero Corps just for fun, little did I know they have a sidekick division. Say hello to "Expendable Boy".

I have a 50 in every AT, but Scrappers and Dominators are my favorites.

Then again, given the context it may not sound as cheesy and cliche-ish, but the intention is there

@Lyrik
I got PIE, do you have PIE?

I want a REALLY old couple sitting on a park bench right where you arrive in Atlas and Galaxy after the tutorial..
Old Woman NPC: Oh look dear its another new Hero!
Old Man NPC: You call that a hero? When I was young we had REAL heroes. Look at (him/her) I bet if one of Nemesis' minons showed up and just looked at (him/her) funny a change of tights would be necessary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How about a beat up hero with a ripped costume that stands across the street from the Fire Chief in Steel anytime there is a Hellion arson fire and shouts to anyone that gets close enough:
"You don't want to do that man! They are totally crazy I tell you. All I tried to do was save a little kitten trapped on the third story and LOOK what they did to me!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valley Girl groupies in Pocket D
Oh look Becky! Like check out all the total hunks! I told you we should have come here.
You are like so right Cindy. I am just like totally psyched to be here right now. Oh My God check out THAT one!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Nemesis minon with a self preservation chip in Peregrin anywhere along the docks:
"There are two Fake Nemesis right around the corner. You want them NOT me. Honest they are there I swear! Please don't tell them I said anything!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An OBVIOUSLY lonel soldier at the entrance to the Firebase Zulu:
"Your here! Oh thank heavens it's been so long since I saw anyone from home! Please say your staying for a while? No one EVER seems to come here anymore. This IS a nice place REALLY... NOOOO Don't talk to Quartefield! Oh crap once they finish HIS assignment they will never come back again."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A shady looking guy standing outside the tailor shop in IP:
"Hey buddy come here a sec. You want a good costume? I got a friend that can make you one for half of what they charge in that place."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least one escaped prisoner in Brickstown that wanders aimlessly throwing his hands in the air:
"I swear I told my cousin to leave the getaway car right here! What an idiot! Does anyone know if the bus comes by here?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A guy dressed in a conductor's outfit (like on AMTRACK) that randomly appears at various Train stations:
"Yo HEEE ROW! You got a ticket? I don't care what so called EMERGENCY you're headed to.. No one rides this train without a ticket. So just back it up and get out of my line until you got one. Understand?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A frantic guy that spawns in Creys Folly along with Jurrasik:
"That's my car! That's my car! Please, please save the car! My insurance company is refusing to pay. They claim a Giant Devouring Earth Monster stealing it to use as part of a club is an act of god!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and last, but certainly not least (LOL) at least one Hellion in Atlas laying on the sidewalk. He's obviously beat up, outfit torn and missing one shoe:
"Ooooo Man That woman really must like that purse. Who know she was a black belt!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hehehe Okay so its late and I am in a silly mood! :-D

Ok, you got me thinking in a similar vein, and now I want to see the devs put a pair of old geezers in the game that have an homage resemblance to Statler and Waldorf, both in looks and constant humorous critique
|
Statler: Hey buddy! You have your tights on backwards!
Waldorf: Made you look!
Both: HAHAHAHAHA!!

Hehehe Hey Fleeting I love that idea. I recently completed that arc for the first time. I'd seen stuff on Paragon Wiki about Becky but reading about her and actually teaming with her are two different things. The text had me giggling through the whole mission. "It's just so totally awesome to be working with you. I have working with Silver Mantis before but your so much nicer." I kept wondering when she'd ask if I wanted to go shoe shopping at the mall after the mission was over. LOL

lol, now that would be pure win.

Maybe during the RSF have Manti yell "I'm the Damned Manticore!" followed by Sis Psyche comment- "honey, I love you but.. it wasn't intimidating the first time, just stop"

"Well, there's going to be some light music and a short note of apology saying, 'The universe ended last week, we're really sorry, we don't know what you're doing here, didn't you get the message?'"- Steve Moffat
I'll give 'er a shot... or several...
* Vomiting Guy in Pocket D: "I don't remember eating that..."
* Desperate Guy in Pocket D: "Your PUG or mine?"
* DJ Zero: Occassionally I'd like his floating self to fuzz around the edges with static... flicker... then be replaced with a "404 Error: File not Found"
* Hellion: "Screw purses! I'm taking up a new vocation entirely! I'm goin' after wallets!"
* (and then...) Hellion: "Dude, I was NOT copping a feel! I was tryin' to steal your wallet... seriously! Man, I don't swing that way!"
* Vahzilok Embalmed: (singing) "Everything you say to me... takes me one step closer to the edge... and I'm about to break!"
* Miss Liberty: "Costume contest in 10 minutes.... heh... just kidding."
* Random Pedestrian: "Did you hear about $heroname? I heard they waited three hours at a bus stop yesterday."
* Banished Pantheon Shaman: (Singing) "Sweet home, Dark Astoria... where the skies are so grey... Sweet home, Dark Astoria... everywhere should be that way..."
* Carnival of Shadows Illusionist: "Does this dress make my butt look big?"
* Carnival of Shadows(any): "Thank god for this mask... killer zit... I'm SO serious..."
* Nemesis Soldier: "Wait... who were you again... was I supposed to trick you into arresting that Crey scientist over there or run away and lead you into the sewers? Dang it... can you give me a minute to consult my notes?"
* Nemesis Warhulk: "I'm forever blowing bubbles..."
* Tarantula Mistress: "Cramp! AAAHHH! CRAMP!"
* Positron: "What do you mean Robert Downey Jr won't play me? Conflict of interests? Oh, come on!"
* Montague Castanella: "You know what? Screw Percy."
* Gordon Bower: "Yeah, we have a few problems here in Croatoa that interfere with our tourism... but hey... at least we're not the Gulf of Mexico."
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
"I like pie."

Also, seconding Becky the Tarantula Mistress turning up in Pocket D, and she should also randomly appear in AE buildings in the Rogue Isles gushing over someone's arc (perhaps even randomly choosing one of the 'hall of fame' arcs), and "lost" in the Vanguard base (or perhaps painted in Vanguard colors talking about how "over Arachnos" she is).
Random NPC on the street. "Sometimes I wonder if I'm the *only* person on my block who isn't a costumed hero."
This one just came to me and I HAD to...
In Cap Au Diable:
Rocketman turns to his partner and says "Dude if you sing that Elton John song ONE more time I swear I will throw you off this building!" :-D

Two PPD officers hanging arouond outside the donut shop in Faultline:
PPD one: So you think if we hang around long enough Tony Stark will come back?
PPD two: I hope so My wife still doesn't believe me. I want his autograph
(Okay legal issues will definately make this one impossible but I loved that scene in Ironman Two and like many immediately thought of the giant Donut in Faultline LOL)

Fly me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the graveyard
I miss Astoria once again
And I don't think its a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Ventiir sing about her
Well, I heard ole Baako put her down
Well, I hope mask Ventiir will remember
A graveyard man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Dark Astoria
Where the skies are so gray
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you
In Salamanca they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Eastgate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Dark Astoria
Where the skies are so gray
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Dark Astoria
Now Muscle Husks has got the Bonnies
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lughebu they take my head off so much
They pull me down when I'm feeling alive
Now how about you?
Sweet home Dark Astoria
Where the skies are so gray
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Dark Astoria
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so gray
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebby
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea M'teru's got the answer
THANK YOU TIKI ROOOOOM!

So, throughout my time of playing this game, I've noticed there are some NPCs that have potential for golden dialogue, but it's never quite capitalized on, so, here's just a few daydreams I've had about what I'd love to hear some NPCs say. And feel free to share your own.
1. Statesman (or Reichsman or Tyrant) winding up for a KB Blow on a PC and shouting "HERE COMES THE COLE TRAIN!"
2. Positron telling someone "Back off, man. I'm a scientist!" Synapse or Aeon doesn't work because it's too easily expected of them.
3. now this would take a lot of programming and some copyright permissions, but if possible, to have a new dialogue variable with Kalida's dialogue in the VEAT arcs when you fought her so before the fight she demonstrates her 'psychic powers' by saying "So, I see you like to play [Insert Steam or another NC soft game here]!" a la Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid.
