This is actually what made “**The Division**” fun.
Chatting with your team in the Dark Zone like: *”should we mug this guy? I mean he’s all alone, but he’s got the highest rank gear… I mean. We could totally take him, right?”*
As a serious reply, that’s actually what i am still missing from these huge ass open world games nowadays. At some point immersion is just broken when you realize the npcs are just acting stupid and not appropriate to your play style, advancement in game and so forth. Yes it did evolve of course but i am still missing a lot more effort in terms of consequences what i do / how the surroundings interact with me. We will get there i am sure, looking forward to it
I absolutely love games where low level enemies flee from you in terror instead of attacking you. Its something that is so easy to do, so beneficial to the game experience, it feels so good – I never understood why more games don’t do it!
If you think about it, in those rare times when you get merced by bandits because you weren’t paying attention or just got overwhelmed by numbers, those guys just made the biggest score of all time. They’re multimillionaires with god killing equipment and enough cheese to last three lifetimes.
If you’re a poor bandit who survives mostly on tack bread and shoe leather and lives in a cardboard box down by the river, I bet you attack the person who wanders by with the nations GDP on their back too.
If you have to die, die fighting and not running away. After you’ve killed a mob of dozens and you see that one guy come running at you, how can you not respect him? You can still kill him with absolute and total malice, but how can you not respect him?
What I loved about Skyrim is that the bandits levelled up relative to me. That didn’t make them hard to defeat, but they dropped nice armor (Nordic, I think?) that I could enchant and resell.
I love the one random NPC you come across a few times in KCD. Hes got a fancy suit of armor and a sword, but only because his mom bought them for him and told him to go out and become a knight. He’llchallenge you to a duel, but only because he wants to build experience.
I imagine bandits are hoping for other foolsthat just bought the best stuff without experience using it.
Been replaying the Witcher 3. I get a good laugh every time bandits try to start a fight
What are we? We’re muggers. and what do we do? We mug people. Soooo let’s go mugg’em!!!
Generally, muggers are not known for making good life decisions.

This is a totally original, never before seen funny joke.
This art style reminds me a lot of Adventure Time for some reason
Look up Muggers by Viva la Dirt League, literally this as a YouTube series.
I mean ,don’t you ever try to kite fighting a very hard enemy like giant or ennemies with a skull over it and thought that we might cheese them?
I too like to pretend my jokes I steal from popular creators are my own
I wish the stronger you got the more fame you had the less likely you were to be attacked as they recognize you
Bandits in Bethesda games.
“Imma fuck you up!”
*immediate bullet to the skull, three more to the chest, one to the junk*
I guess its easier to make dumb enemies that see you in power armor totting a Fatman and assume it’s just for show.

“Never should have come here!”
Isn’t that attitude pretty much the same as any PC in an RPG? “Oh, that guy has cool weapons/armor. Let’s kill him and take his stuff”
Most D&D adventurers are little more than brigands mugging dragons.

Two level-1 bandits vs One level-2 frog sounds like a fair fight.
LETS MUG HIM!!!
DnD proves that this is just typical human behavior.
That moment when the bow you buy is so cheap that you’re better off pitching the arrow like a baseball . . .
I love this trope because sometimes you never know if they will end up getting wrecked or on those rare occasions actually succeed in their endeavor

That would be a cool RPG mechanic to have low level characters stop attacking you once you’re a high level.
^^^^We never should have come here
Level 1 so they probably have around 5 gold between them.
Lol hahaha this sounds pretty much on point if enemy ai’s had thought processes 🤣

Me and my friend playing Valheim. Two star skeleton? Imma punch him for lolz
Skeptical Mugger: “He’s literally an *IMMORTAL GOD*…”
Mugger: “Yea!!! Let’s MUG EM!!!”
Omg, he doesnt even know how to use a bow and arrow, LOL
“You never shoulda come here!”
“*I submit!*”
Great day for fishin’ !
lol so true.
“Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed witcher… I’ll never know. Something wrong with my face?”

Olschool mmorpgs where the low level mobs go grey and don’t attack you anymore.
