So we all play games, and the games sometimes give us a lot of flexibility in our playstyle. From multiple team members allowing tons of combinations, to skill trees, to gear, etc. Plenty of Let's Plays out there showcase various specific combinations just for the fun of it, and gamers love to debate the efficacy of one build over another until the sun rises and they crawl back into their caves, hissing.
So what's yours? What's your weirdest, craziest, most overpowered, or just plain goofy combination that you ever did?
Mine was in the original Dragon Age: Origins.
I made a team build I called The Wolf Pack.
I made my character be a rogue, and filled my other party slots with the rogue npc's I had join my group. The last slot in my 4 man team was for my beloved Mabari Hound, Anklebiter. I would spec them all as Ranger, at least enough to get "Summon Wolf". Then I would build there attack protocols to focus fire on some target of my choosing.
But here was the fun part xD
I found out that when you summon a pet, there is a very brief period of a few seconds, where the "You have learned new protocols" icon would appear in the corner. If you clicked on it during this window, it would open up the protocols for your summoned wolf. Normally, if you opened up your summoned pet's protocols, you would be limited to I think 3 lines of protocol to assign. Buuuut, if you clicked quickly enough, it would actually provide you with the full protocol of actions page for the summoned pet. So you could set up their actions in combat as detailed as you could a full party member.
Which was awesome xD Because they had the Charge attack, and the slam attack, and basically all the combat tricks your Mabari Hound had. So I set them all up to follow Anklebiter's lead, and dogpile the enemy. I always set up Anklebiter to attack any casters first, with a charging rush attack, followed by maul. The other wolves would do the same thing, and it resulted in completely shutting down all casters in combat. They didn't live long enough to toss any spells at me. It was quite funny to watch actually. You would see the robed caster in the background, waving their arms, building up energy for a powerful spell....and then the pack would dogpile them, and they would fall to the ground in a mass of canine flesh, and be dead in seconds. I always added a "meep!" voice track in my head when they would get knocked to the ground. It was most amusing.
Then the dogs would just move to the next targets and maul them to death in seconds. It got to the point where I wouldn't even bother using my actual party members, and just let the dogs win all my fights for me, as they were that crazy good at it. xD
It was one of the few times where I actually tried to "break the game", and it was most amusing to experience, especially considering how effective it was.
So what's your experience?
