Very funny vid, the NPC's in this game are such a joke.
Speaking of Radiant AI and the magic that it does, I was playing yesterday (before I finally snapped and decided that the game isn't worth playing anymore) and I was running in one of the underground subways. I was playing on Very Hard, had just leveled, fought my way through about half a dozen Raiders and was coming up on the other end of the subway. As I came out about four raider's showed up, one on top of the train, and three below. I started firing into them, took one down, and had almost killed the one on the top of the train when she suddenly stopped firing, put her weapon away, and said "Screw this!" Running away. I'd seen this before, but hadn't ever paid that close attention to it until tonight. I killed the other two remaining raiders and went hunting for her.
She'd gone down the other side of the train, and was milling around. So I got on top of the train, and was going to jump to her when I got stuck between the cars. Literally stuck between the cars. No amount of hammering on jump, turning side to side, or trying to strafe would dislodge me. I couldn't believe it. After all that work, after all that effort, I GOT STUCK BETWEEN THE CARS. I saved a new file, and went back to the menu screen, reloading the game. When it loaded I dropped down to the ground, IN BETWEEN THE CARS. Still stuck, only now she could hear me. I couldn't get out from between the cars, and I could not see her, but she could see me. She came over and pasted my sorry ass against the side of that car. I was beyond frustrated, and gave up.
But anyway, that long winded rant was mostly in regards to the fact that they ran away, yet only ran maybe twelve steps and then stopped, and drew their weapon again, but don't heal themselves, and then start fighting again. And, uh, that sounded better in my head. It just seems dumb to me, I guess. I also had a raider running away from me once, just disappear, right in front of me. He was running into a wall, just running against it, going nowhere fast, when another raider appeared. Since the one guy was running I concentrated my fire on the one attacking me, and right before my eyes the raider vanished. After I'd killed the one, I searched, but couldn't find him. I could hear him, he'd talk, and when I pointed my weapon in a certain direction he'd be highlighted, but he wasn't there. I walked away, and later came back, and he was standing there. He just stared as I shot him to death.
