You are annoying!

Well, we have had a thread with our favorite NPC, so now i thought we should have a thread with the NPC you find most ANNOYING too, and i also set up a post because (We dont need it, it doesn't help us, it isnt surprising...) ITS COOL!!

The poll isnt very helpful or has a lot of option, but i hereby declare it OPEN!!

IF you voted "other" Please specify.

¤ Edit ¤
Something is very wrong... The poll has gone bad, and i cant figure out how to fix it.... I am PMing Xandax about this, hoping that he can help us out.
Sorry for the inconvinience.
Dont let this stop you from posting who YOU think is the MOST annoying Npc in the game, right after the commercials!

Marcus, because he doesn't follow instructions. Really, how hard is it to understand "stay close to me?" He's best when you give him a turbo plasma rifle, but even then he's still a pain, because I use a hit and move combat tactic. Forget about giving him a power fist, because then every encounter becomes "rescue Marcus."

Marcus could have been a great NPC (one of the few that has an interaction portrait- what's up with that?) if we were allowed proper control over him. I stick with NPCs like Sulik and the robot.

he can't obey that order because he CAN'T RUN, the same problem exists with Skynet (aka Brain Bot), so when your character runs, he can't keep up

anyway, back to the topic... I vote for Myron, he's probably one of the most useless NPCs + has the most irritating voice, not to mention a looong dialogue when you ask him to wait 'til you come back (although his ability to be annoying can be pretty funny when you're playing as a female

)

then, second place: Miria/Davin, the most useless NPCs, you have to be nuts to want to have her/him in your party, AND they REFUSE to leave your party, which freaks me out... I just had to pull the trigger... solves every problem

Heck man, you got issues!

(jkin bro!

)

well most annoying... hmm.. first I thought of Myron, but he was made to be annoying! So I prefer, I mean, I hate most Miria, 'cause if you catch her to early in game, she'll mess up when you get to Navarro, and if you catch her in late game, she'll be useless... and will die easily...

and there's one and only thing in f2 that I can't stand with: hear her calling you a 'BUTTERCAKE'!! NO ONES CALLS ME 'BUTTERCAKE'

It's not about running or walking, it's about following or not following. The speed doesn't matter because this is a turn based game, not real time. Skynet moves slowly, but Skynet follows. Marcus goes where he wants to.

I always found that Deathclaw from vault 13 annoying, he'd always charge into battle and block the other characters shots and then if he got hit he'd turn against me.

Additionally he does that cloak taking off thingy which adds a huge amount of unnecessary seconds to both the start of a battle and the end of one. When fighting a series of small battles the cloaking takes forever and makes fighting so much more painful.

Strange... I didn't notice that, most probably because I always charge in front and leave Marcus waaay behind before I enter combat mode, so it takes him a couple of turns to get close enough to the enemies

I thought you were talking about out-of-combat situations, sorry, my bad

ok, Xandax says it cant be fixed. So you will have to do without the poll... Well, i can still give it to you, but you wont be able to vote.

The nominees for most annoying NPC are:

-Miria / Davin

-Rats / Mantis / Giant Ants

-Myron

-Jetheads (attacking you and stalking you for jet or food!)

-Pickpocketing Kids

-Lynette

-Other

You should add to your list those children that pickpocket you when you walk through doors in the town of Den. They drive me nuts. They would have to be high on anyone's most annoying list!

Wrath · #10 (**permalink**) 01-28-2006, 11:41 AM

So, 'till now we have

1 -> Miria / Davin
1 -> That Grey Deatchclaw (forgot the name, and this PC which I am now is too slow to check it out!)
1 -> Miron
1 -> Marcus

Yup, those damned kids can be quite pain at the early stages

Well, from my experience you only need one knife to actually survive from huge group of rats/manties/etc...
Guns only easy the killing, but those aren't necessare.

Then to the poll...
My choice is Lynette. She can be so annoying...

Even · #14 (**permalink**) 01-29-2006, 07:00 AM

Well, if we count that you can kill one rat with 1-3 hits (depending on your luck with damages) and you can hit 3 times in one turn (if you have 9 or 10 AP) or 5 times in one turn (if you have 10 AP and Fast Shot -trait). So, you should be able to kill at least one rat in one turn. So IMO it doesn't take so much time to kill even big group...
