Naglfarslayer Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 So I'm currently on Ch. 20, HNM, and I'm working against the clock to get Legault. Of course, his course of action is to loot the two chests on the right of the map, pass the boss, and then leave through the top left corner. A second thief appears one turn after him, and follows his path. I bring Hector and half my party up to meet Cameron, defeat him, and open that small room near the top left corner of the map in the hopes of intercepting Legault. I'm one turn ahead of him, and Hector's waiting in the small doorway to the hallway where Legault is moving. I make Hector attack the second thief (who is ahead of Legault by now) just for fun, and, of course, I miss. On the next enemy phase, Legault runs past Hector, but he's still in walking distance. Then the most unexpected thing happens. The second thief decides not to run, of course. Instead, he walks right in front of Hector and blocks him from Legault. I just got cockblocked by a Thief.

Fei Mao Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I had this happened too... except it was in FE DS where Chainey blocked my way so i couldn't attack the other hero.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naglfarslayer Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 It was so surprising because FE enemies don't normally "think" about saving their teammates. They either run if they're Thieves or fight if they're anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyvernSageLord Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Ain't the first time that something similar has happened to me though. I've seen my fair share of suicidal Troubadours who often throw themselves in my characters' paths to block me from either reaching the boss or some other crap.

Meteor Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Javelins/magic FTW in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeshroom Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Lol I haven't ever seen a thief do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedyns Crow Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Did you go ahead and kill the thief that blocked you anyway? Because then you can hard reset and watch it over and over again. That way, the sting of losing Legault won't hurt as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Imagine how much shit we would all be in if the game had half-decent AI which purposely did this sort of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedyns Crow Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Imagine how much shit we would all be in if the game had half-decent AI which purposely did this sort of stuff. I can't decide if that would be a good thing or a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodykitty Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Imagine how much shit we would all be in if the game had half-decent AI which purposely did this sort of stuff.I'll tell you how much.FE5 has AI that does this on purpose, I think. On Ch. 4, an enemy soldier knew the exact move of the civilian NPCs, and walked using one move, fully knowing that the NPC civilians wouldn't be able to walk past him, and as a result blocking my characters from being able to get him before he captures one. FE5's AI is freaking intelligent and brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyvernSageLord Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 FE5's AI is freaking intelligent and brilliant. Which only gives credit to the theory that FE5 is arguably the hardest FE, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifloon Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 FE5 is awesome, you feel like you're actually trying to outwit the enemy instead of just slaughtering armies mercilessly. Darn it, you've made me want to go play it again now =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonBladeSniper Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Imagine how much shit we would all be in if the game had half-decent AI which purposely did this sort of stuff. We'd be screwed... O.o That sucks for you but seriously did that make you reset the chapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 FE5's AI is freaking intelligent and brilliant. They can buy weapons if you steal theirs. I took a Battle Axe, he goes and buys a Killer >_>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Same exact thing happened. No was in range to toss a javelin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I think it's because the second theif is going to loot the chests in the small room. This happened to me too but I just had Wil kill him :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
