the true horrors of ai in oblivion - General

found this video on my external from ~3 years ago, one of the many reasons why i loved this game [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4E0GLlrHjA[/media]

Good'ol times

I remember one session where some guards were chasing someone, and one of them apparently accidentally hit another guard, so that guard turned on that guard, and the other guards turned on [I]that[/I] guard, hitting other guards, and it basically turned into every guard in the city slowly forming a pile of corpses that I looted their gear from and sold at the nearest store.

I posted this some days ago, I think a week ago. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEn_OEiOyHc[/media]

Ah, this really does take me back.

That's it, reinstalling Oblivion.

This made me remember how much I hate the dull and plain appearance of the Imperial City.

I hear the Fighters Guild is recruiting again.

[QUOTE=Griffster26;39482436]Good day![/QUOTE] Good bye.

Stop. Talking.

I hear there were some goblins around here recently.

I made this about 4 years back [video=youtube;m4bpF39OCSU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4bpF39OCSU[/video] Oblivion was awesome, if sometimes unintentionally

Hilarious video. By the way... Do you happen to know what the fine is here in Cyrodiil for necrophilia? Just asking.

Just asking.[/QUOTE] I always thought necrophilia was the name of the disease that turned you into a vampire... it's a bit awkward when someone overhears you in school asking your friend "have you ever gotten necrophilia?" and them replying "yes"

The NPC conversations were hilarious. Even the intentional ones [video=youtube;WSLBDkQ7o6k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSLBDkQ7o6k[/video]

The bounty system was so glitchy and fun to exploit

I've always found Oblivion's AI quite creepy, specially the time when I had accidentally left my character standing idly inside of a town, causing the townsfolk to ocasionally stop, say something and keep staring at me until my character did something. As well as when two citizens greeted each other, said some of their "casual" dialogue, responding slowly to each other's statements, stop talking and stare at each other for minutes until one stepped away, without saying a word...

Leave me alone.

i really love silly ai [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChT9N9-tQzg[/media]

I guess this is why they're called the Imperial [I]Watch[/I].

I remember in the Imperial City, I walked by an Orc and a High Elf. The conversation went something like this: High Elf: Greetings! Orc: Hello! High Elf: Do you think what happened at Kvatch will happen here? Orc: Sure! High Elf: Goodbye! Orc: 'Bye.
