I was thinking back to a few good games recently (I reminisce a lot!), and a few bugs that, while they may be cheating, were awesome in their own right. I've never been one to actually look up bugs online, either, so this is only for the ones you discovered on your own! I don't care if it's super well known or not, share the stories!
My most memorable one comes from Gothic 2. There is one part where you have to go to a besieged camp, and the only way up is through a huge hoard of Orcs and climbing on top of a ram that broke a hole in a wall. Doing the manly thing first, I attempted to fight a path through the orcs. Didn't work, they hit like mac trucks so I could only survive a few blows before dying. Round 2, sneak through an obvious path, nope, they have an aggro radius of approximately from where they are to the moon. Dying a horrible, screaming death. Step 3: Run screaming like a girly man to the ramp. Made it there, and scrambled to the top of the wall. Expecting to have to fight a few that followed, I turned...only to see that they were clustering against the invisible wall at the bottom of the ramp. Queue the ingenious idea to kite every orc with a 10 mile radius to the camp, get them stuck at the bottom, and take them out 1 by 1, leveling me to the rough equivalent strength of a God in the process. Needless to say, this camp wasn't besieged for much longer. Not that anybody noticed my amazing achievement, they all pretended they were being attacked still, probably for free food or something from the king.
