Some interesting radiant AI moments:

I'm walking through the hills near Bruma and see an Imperial Hunter in a skirmish with another npc that i can't yet see. I run up to him with the intention of helping only to see that the person he's fighting is another imperial hunter. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] Undecided, i stand back for a moment to see how it's going to play out. The second one drops the first and turns towards me, sword in hand, only to be dropped by the unseen bandit's arrow - the bandit i'm assuming they were fighting in the first place. I drop the bandit and loot all three whilst moulding the whole scenario into a nice little RP moment for my character. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

After a certain MQ battle in Bruma, i'm escorting a certain individual back to a certain imperial city and wondering why a person of certain value might only be given a solitary escort for a mission of certain importance. (Poor MQ storyline - i'm still shaking my head.) A short distance out of Bruma, we encounter the guard captain of Bravil (G.I. Jane!) being attacked by a wolf. We help her and discover that she's on her way back to Bravil. Given the situation, i knock up a quick story (given that she's only got one dialogue option) and she becomes the third member of the convoy. A little further past the first crossroads and we encounter a legion soldier doing his rounds and, whaddya know, with another quick plot advance the party is now four strong. At this point i'm wondering if any random peasants might show up but i'm also thinking that this is more like the kind of escort the emperor of an empire on the verge should be given. After a dozen or so skirmishes and a full 12 hours of game time, we finally arrive at the imperial city. G.I. Jane and the legion guard peeled off when their crossroads came but the whole time they were with us i'm sort of smiling at this little thing called radiant AI.

There's a few more examples that escape me at the moment, but in all seriousness, some of the random radiant moments are more enjoyable than the scripted, spoon-fed, child-level quests that have been thrown my way.

And then, some of them are not...
