What kind of NPC would you be?

[stevesan]

In GamersWithJobs' last podcast, they had a hilarious email question:

What if you were an NPC in a game? What kind of NPC would you be?

Amongst the answers were...the NPC you gotta escort...a vendor that sells bongs...the NPC that tells you his life story before giving you a lame-ass quest. Check out that podcast - it's hilarious as usual.

Personally, I'd love to be the Resident Evil 4 merchant. Just chillin' in my shack, somehow not getting killed while Leon is barely staying alive, with that awesomely chill music playing in the background.

*looks at avatar and username*

Yeah, I'm definitely going to get shot a lot...maybe I'll be some boss or something since I am El Arab "DE MAGNIFICO"....

 

[aussiesniper]

I would be one of the HL2 snipers, minus the inability to throw back grenades.

 

[PurpleRain]

Redshirt... yeap, definatly redshirt.

 

[noolli]

i would be one of those static quest giving pri**s from world of warcraft. Even if no one wants to do my quests i can at least met up with some girl form Sweden. i do know someone who has married someone they met off WOW

 

[Gavaroc]

I'd be one of those agonisingly annoying escort quest NPCs who runs away from every enemy without looking where I'm going. The only reason I don't do that anyway in online gaming is because of respawning. Three cheers for cowardice!

 

[Omnidum]

I would be an assistant NPC that shoots in all the wrong directions.

 

[Yan-Yan]

Redshirt... yeap, definatly redshirt.

Redshirts for life!
*high five*

"And Yan-Yan to complete the away mission."

Aw crap...

 

[Gigantor]

A lightgun game NPC:

*jumping out of a cupboard and waving arms frantically*
'DON'T SHOOT! PLEASE, DON'T SHOO- OW!'

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Some optional boss 10x stronger than last boss and you are requiered to do an annoying fetch quest to get a crystal, needed to be inseted at an altar to make some holy energy, to prevent me from fully recovering all my hp eatch turn.

Or ill just be one of those rare really useful companion characters.

Gnoll Nr 49

 

[Cryofthewolf]

I'd be one of the heads of the Mage's Guild. (In Obliivon, of course.) ;-)

 

[RedSolitaire]

Id be the wingman that gets captured and needs rescuing every 2 missions or so.

And while being rescued, i would provide "witty" banter such as yelling "hey that was my kill!" while actually being miles away picking my nose.

 

[phoenixguard]

The Hyrule Castle Guard that forces you to start over in Ocarina of Time. Only there would be 50 more with me in the vicinity.

 

[knumpify]

i'd be a sword for hire, you know, one of the ones that helps you with the enemies, but randomly disappears when you enter a boss fight

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

I'd either be an NPC who starts a fetch quest where you have to fetch something for the person you have to fetch something for to get the thing you have to fetch for the person who has the thing you need to fetch for me...

...or an NPC walking down the street that you can't talk to, hurt, move, or interact with in any way whatsoever.

 

[blaze96]

I'd be the NPC that is actually helpful in combat but I make characters hate me with my sarcastic you saved my life but I still hate you attitude.

[J-Val]

The scientist NPC who tries to warn you that they and their colleagues have accidentally unleashed zombies in the area, only to be killed mid-sentence by either an aforementioned zombie or a falling object.
