Usually, the mobs in encounters silently engage you, like soulless robots. But a psyched raider or a sadistic merc surely wouldn't pass a opportunity to throw a taunt at his presumed weak victim, before going in for a kill.

So, why shouldn't they shout something at the PC, like "i'm gonna kick your ass", "time to die!", "look, a pajama", "meat!" or something like this?

Maybe given the opportunity, the player might want to write his own taunts in a file which the mobs will shout - this will surely add some colour to the PvE.

What do you think? Oh, and feel free to leave your taunt line suggestions.

[TKs-KaBoom]

pretty sure, they already do

[Mike Crosser]

pretty sure, they already do

"Keep your distance!" and "Don't come any closer!" doesn't count,other than that they only talk when you attack them for example: "Ow my spleen","I didn't know I have so much blood"

+1 for the suggestion

[greenthumb]

iam sure that text about droped bomb is RED.

[Alvarez]

Well, also in the Man's job, the goons chasing you shout curses, too. But only in this quest.

Also, do you ever wonder what the mercs have against you?


What i'd love to see, too, is the taunt lists distributed as fanart, which you can download and play with a element of surprise. A witty writer can provide a good laugh this way!

Makes sense but the problem is that it would be almost impossible to read shit in big encounters.


So yeah... I'll have to say no to this for the sake of eye health.

You can regulate the frequency of text or allow taunts only for those who targeted you.

or add pregenned floating txt of your own that will randomly popup; in noncombat mode it would say, "looks like rain" or "work work work thats all I do" or whatevs, in combat mode it says "meat!" Or "Hey everybody its target practice!" Ect. And then set it so wehn theyvtaunt you you throw it right back at them. Thry say meat you throw back "EMPTY THE CLIP!" or whatever.

I remember some really good combat taunts from FO2, like "Time to tango!" or "I'm gonna beat you like a redheaded stepchild".

But we already have combat taunts in 2238, I even think devs integrated some that were not in FO2 but come from FO3/NV, such as "Only one of us is walking away".

"I'm gonna beat you like a redheaded stepchild".

seen that one myself a lot

edit here:

And they are available only after scored hit, as mere reaction. Initiative action from attacking mobs however would make their behaviour less artifical, more natural for a athmosphere of lawless Wastes.

And while i appreciate the original, a bit repetitive battle taunts, i think users should be able to make their own ones for personal use or to share with the community.

[Eternauta]

Yeah I totally support the idea of adding new ones, and I too agree that it's cool when the enemy charges towards you shouting something. The tribal combat taunts were pretty cool as well, "May the spirits of the sky piss on you" or something like that

I will feed you to my pet iguana

[T-888]

I like the shouts, they tend to be funny in certain situations and those are the little things what makes the game whole.

So I support the suggestion.
