Starfield NPCs keep getting bodied mid-sentence and it never isn't funny to me
Starfield NPCs keep getting bodied mid-sentence and it never isn't funny to me
My favorite Bethesda game quirk is how the world keeps trying to kill and maim everyone while they have conversations.
You probably already know what I'm talking about here: that thing where you're in the middle of dialogue with an NPC, but the rest of the scene has chosen not to cooperate. It's a common feature of RPGs, but it shows up extra often in Bethesda games, and of course has returned in Starfield. I can't get enough of it.
My favorite example so far is the video embedded above, which tells the very brief tale of a chipper fellow who fails to watch his own back.
These mid-dialogue attempted murders come in lots of flavors, though. Sometimes it's not a messed up bone-spider thing that ruins the NPC's day, for example, but the player themselves.
