What are you favorite games that feature/allow random NPC vs NPC fights?
I feel like a lot of devs fail to realize that random NPCs fighting each other in an open world is possibly the best thing in gaming (at least in my opinion).
I love to see it happen, and even better, being able to instigate conflict and to just watch the chaos unfold.
Examples:
* Skyrim: Seeing a giant fight other monsters in Skryim.
* Cyberpunk: Climbing on car roofs of random NPCs, hitting the roof once and being able to witness the chaos as the driver goes into crazy driving mode while you use their car as a surf board.
* GTA 5: Dodging a swing of an NPC and making him hit another NPC is a simple example. Or creating a traffic jam in a tunnel, optionally entering the godmode cheat, and then lighting a single car on fire and watching a cascade of explosions happen as you walk through the tunnel. The inferno can last a few minutes with shootouts and fistfights ensuing between NPCs.
* Sims 4: (I don't have specific example off the top of my head)
* Half Sword: It's fun to watch the NPCs infight.
* X4 Foundations: Nothing more awesome than seeing random capital ships go at it in a sector.
* Assassin's Creed Black Flag (Resynced): Spanish and English ships fighting. Soldiers fighting wildlife. Berserk darts.
* Far Cry: NPCs fighting each other and defending against animal attacks
I want more!
It's actually the one thing I look forward to in GTA 6 the most: Messing with the world like this.
I love the feeling of things happening in the game world that have nothing to do with me as the player.
It can be a power fantasy but it also provides an awesome feeling of immersion.
I would be interested in hearing about your favorite games that allow NPC fights (or other entertaining NPC interactions, possibly even unintended by the devs), and of course to hear about your techniques to instigate them.
