Harabec Weathers Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I for one, LOVE how when doing missions, or going places, NPCs like Brotherhood and Outcasts just run right into my stream of bullets, thus getting shot, and turning hostile on me. Happens everytime Im in an area with friendly NPCs, they just catch my bullets with the backs of thier skulls. Baily Crossroads Metro is especially bad. Stupidass NPCs. The problem with the NPCs combat AI is that they like to just strafe back and force without taking any sort of cover (bad design) Anyone else experience this frustration? Im not even using companions anymore because they only get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 In my experience, the BoS have AI that takes cover just fine. The problem is that they like to take cover behind cars, so I generally stay well away from them and let them fight their own fight. Or, if I can, I get up at an elevation and try to triangulate the enemy and them and myself. This reduces the likelihood that they will accidentally kill me with a grenade or something of that nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3R0B4NG Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 if i run arround with my (essential) companions i usually use a Sniper to give a little VATS-Headshot support in case they need it.no i never got one to be hostile because i shot them by mistake.yes i think the AI could use a little more Intelligence, well maybe not the mutis or ghouls but the humans should take cover and stuff.

Harabec Weathers Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Im refering in particular to the incursion into Bailey Crossboards Metro and into the Outcast Outpost in Aiding the Outcast mission. I must have loaded my game like 10 times because Id be shooting a super muite and those retards would step right into my fire. Then go hostile with me because they are the jackasses. IDK maybe its just the guys in my game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaechireon Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Baileys Crossroads is so bloody cramped half the time, I tend to wait till they get to a more spacious area before actually lending them support. They never really come close to dying anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
