This day, 40 years ago, Namco released the arcade game “Mappy” in Japan. In this game, you play as Mappy, a Micro Police officer tasked with retrieving stolen goods from a mansion while trying to avoid Nyamco and his Mewkies (Goro and Meowkies in English). You bounce on trampolines, open and close doors, drop bells, and run over trap doors while the Mewkies doggedly pursue you.

Happy Birthday, Mappy!

Perhaps the worst game design choice in Skyrim is when you are told to go kill nameless bandits who you can't talk to and just exist as random enemies, and then when you're fighting one they yell "I yield" and you're okay, that's fair, I'm just here to get some random sword I don't actually want to kill you and after all, the game tips say that if they yell "I yield" you can sheathe your sword and they'll stop fighting

Then you find out that's COMPLETELY FALSE, the game does NOT allow you to do that, the nameless bandits like all enemies in the game are programmed to fight to the death, and that's what you do, you fight them to death, because they have no names no lives or anything, they are there to keep attacking you and fight to the death for a chest with 124 gold and boots with a bonus to enchantment.

Or what's worse, the game makes them yell "PLEASE NO MORE" or "I YIELD" JUST as you deliver the killing blow. It would be an interesting comment on violence in videogames if it wasn't just a fakeout because the nameless bandits aren't actually coded to do anything but to fight you to death.

Okay, that's a bunch of poor game design choices, not just one.

#cosas mias #skyrim #this isn't even the only or the worst case of Nameless Bandits in videogames either #if anything Skyrim is just average on this #Fallout 4 is even worse and somehow Starfield is as bad #one would think that with years and years of game development some people would have thought of implementing 'fight or flight'#where low-level bandits figure out it isn't worth to fight to the death a demigod or you can talk to them #but I guess gamers need to have their human-like targets to mow down and get their scores up like this is a fucking 80s arcade right?#same as it ever was
