One of my party members "borrowed" a couple of lines from FREEMAN'S MIND the other day. I didn't call them on it cause I thought it was funny as hell - and appropriate. We were up against Knives of Artemis. 

"It's Occam's SHURIKEN! When the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

"See? That one dropped in from nowhere! I should expect that! But at the same time I CAN'T expect that! Because they're NINJAS! As soon as I expect it, they won't do it! Ninjas understand quantum mechanics better than people realize!"


The fact that he was wearing a hazard orange power suit of unknown origin and a striking Tony Stark beard and glasses I'm sure was just a coincidence. :classic_biggrin:

It might be cheating for purposes of this thread, but I have a character whose name I chose specifically because I find it hilarious when the game inserts it into the generic NPC dialogue in radio/paper missions: That Handsome Devil.

 

"What's That Handsome Devil doing here?"
"How did That Handsome Devil find us?"
"Get That Handsome Devil!"

While whacking Hellfrosts for the badge in Sharkhead -- Family and Sky Raiders trash talking each other:

 

[NPC] Button Man Muscle: Man, did you have to wear the ridiculous hat? Has the word 'inconspicuous' EVER entered your vocabulary?
[NPC] Porter: You're giving me grief about my outfit? Your entire cardboard cut-out family looks like you shop at Brooks Brothers. Whatever. We have a deal to make.

Sometimes the citizens get a little... disjointed... about their conversations.

 

[NPC] Lino: Well look at this... 'The Paragon Transit Authority has re-opened the Kallisti Wharf station.' It's about time.
[NPC] Antonietta: Really? I wonder what DJ Zero will think of next.

Ashley:

"You should really go talk to Dmitri Krylov. He's an expert in Mutants. Granted, I think he got that way from performing a number of experiments on them.

Dmitri would know better than anyone else the history of Mutants. If you get the chance, ask him if he knows my father. That should give you a good laugh."

This was interesting because of the context. In Atlas Park, I spotted a group of five Clockwork walking single file, a few feet behind a pedestrian. I just thought that was an interesting coincidence. But then the pedestrian stopped, turned around, and looked at the Clockwork for a moment. I expected her to do the usual pedestrian thing and run away after spotting the "villains". But instead, she turned and continued on her way, albeit walking in a slightly different direction. And then she stopped, turned, and watched the Clockwork again, before walking away once more. She was now headed in my direction, so just for fun I clicked on her to see her "chatter":

 

"I work for Paragon Power. Repairs are a constant race against Clockwork scavenging."

 

That made the whole thing look less like coincidence, and more like "scripted".

I overheard this one during the Hypothermal Lab Results Tip mission as the Sky Raiders were dealing with Snakes: 

 

[NPC] Wing Raider: You know, I have a feeling this serum is NOT working correctly!

 

I also came across this one while saving one of Paragon's aldermen during the Furtive Plea For Help Tip mission: 

 

[NPC] Wolf Spider Assault: I REALLY hate it when someone interrupts me in the middle of killing a hostage!

While fighting some Arachnos soldiers in Faultline, I overheard one say the following:

 

[NPC] Wolf Spider TacOps: They have a strip mall here. Did you see that? A STRIP MALL. I may very well throw up.

 

I also heard the following as I continued exploring Faultline while badge hunting:

 

[NPC] Mortificator: He came to me looking to lose some weight. So I chopped off his leg!

[NPC] Mortificator: Oh man, that's a risky move, but he did hit his target weight. Not your fault, honestly.

 

[NPC] Stunner Chief: Underneath all this metal, I'm a businessman. Now do right by me.

[NPC] Wolf Spider Assault: Well, I won't be extorted by some metallic psychopath in makeup. If you think those strong-arm tactics are going to work, think again. Do you even KNOW who Lord Recluse is?

I don't remember the exact quote because I've only run the Aeon SF once, but in the part where you're in Portal Corp

 

Strange women lying in ponds is not a system for distributing incarnate powers
