How many also do this for fun?

[Molokkx]

Always wondered, but never asked (nor ever discussed it on forums or ever saw others discussing it either).

 

Basically, it's just for fun (needs to reload saved game after the fun is done if you don't want to save the results obviously):

 

- Go to your place of choice (any really), as long as there's NPCs around just doing their things normally (Whiterun for example, but any places with NPCs would do).

- Choose any spot within the area, open console.

- Disable the A.I. command tai (type just once, close console and verify around you that NPCs stopped their routine / activity).

- Reopen console, now choose whichever enemy you can find via ID codes for the Player.Placeatme command.

- Example: type Player.Placeatme 001068FE 3, where you get the ID code for a generic "Bandit" enemy, and followed by the number you want to spawn (3, in this example).

- Close the console and verify that whatever you chose to spawn 'at you' is indeed spawned (shouldn't be moving yet, the A.I. is still disabled at this point).

- So, example: move around if you don't immediately see anything near you (sometimes spawning occurs a couple of feet away or behind you), but with the example above you'd see 3 'Bandits' standing there doing nothing (yet).

- Now, for even some potential extra, do the same but now spawn critters or other humanoid NPCs that you know are enemies among each others in the wild; to create more chaos.

 

The main meal now:

 

- Once all the above is done, reopen the console and just type tai again.

- Close the console and witness the chaos that ensues (A.I. of everyone is reactivated at once, from normal townsfolk NPCs to Bandits or critters).

 

An example of what I have fun with, doing this in Whiterun.

 

- Get right next to Nazeem wherever he happens to be, disable A.I., spawn something like 3 or 4 Bears, 4 or 5 Bandits, some Skeletons (or more than that, or less sometimes) and follow him just observing seeing how long he lasts and where he goes to hide.

 

- A fun thing to do as well is to give yourself Godmode ( "TGM" command) or go invisible ("TDetect" command, disabling A.I. 'seeing' you), or maybe use the "TCL" command to clip through everything (disabling collision), or with freedom of camera movement to check everything around with the "TFC" command. Any of those commands could be useful of course if you happen to spawn 30 Bears around you, chances are if you then reactivate the A.I. you'll die very quickly soon after.

 

So that's about it. I've been doing this since Oblivion actually, also in Fallout 3, then Skyrim and then Fallout 4. But my favorite to do this in is absolutely Skyrim (Oblivion ain't too bad either with the funny cringy town guard voices and one liners). Is anyone else ever doing this just for the heck of it? Sometimes I'd play 3 or 4 hours, make a save game (or two, just in case I mess one up) and just do any of the above until I'm done laughing from the chaos is creates.

Infantile.

I do that quite often but with frenzy spells and mods that make everyone killable. Try this with OBIS, it adds a shitload of new bandits. I don't reload after that, I never do any quests anyway because they're boring af. Fuck 'em, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
