 Not exactly a bug but a question about AI of the NPC's when they carry, burst or AoE weapons.

I dont expect a "Remnant of the Masters Army" Mutant to care for my personal safety when he fires his missile launcher at an enemy next to me and when I subsequently die, I can only blame myself for being too close.

But when I meet a "NCR Caravan" with 3 guards and a merchant under attack by raiders then I expect that when I am standing close to the merchant and so does the raider attacking us that the NCR guard with the flamer WILL NOT fire at the raider THROUGH US! Killing me AND the merchant in the process!

So these guys have no qualms about me (although they are supposed to protect civilians) but they dont even care about the safety of the guy who is paying them to walk around!

Overall the aspect of FF is very strange with NPC's disregarding the safety of "neutrals" or "friends" in EVERY occasion and should be altered in a way that gives priority to life-protection rather than damage dealing.

LagMaster:
well,FF in remnannts on masters army is a way to get rich(LRs!!!)

Let's say that got changed so they don't fire launchers and stuff like that when you're next to someone they don't want to kill. What WILL a launcher guy do in that situation? All you'd have to do would be to stand right next to someone from their group and everyone else with grenades, launchers, flamers, burst weapons (ok, they could switch to single shot) would just stand around doing nothing?

Well we could give em rippers as secondary weapons for those situations.

I actually think it's cool they're killing one another. Not just for free loot (which sometimes isn't as free as it seems and you can die if you're not careful) but because in the mayhem ob battle, when some ghoul is standing next to you and you have a flamer in your hand...you don't really care who's behind him.
