The first one where the GIANT scorpion is over towering the 2 peds is amazing.

Nice pictures. Were you actually shooting the scorpions though, or just driving around teasing them?

BTW I have made some changes which will make creatures turn up vs cars more often, especially at times of high red aurora.

Burden and others fought to the last, no questions there. The photo Dark mentions is testament to that. Those guys got in the Eaton, luckily before they were eaten.

Almost scary when they popped up, and I was long in town. Great moment, here's to seeing it more often. Nice one Sam.

Is it too rare?


No, I just don't think people are using their pedestrians.  Someone asked me in the lobby last night how I got such comparitively high handgun skill on a lot of my crewmembers. The answer is: I get out of my car and shoot things up with rifles and SMGs!

If you don't use your crewmembers regularly as ped combatants, you won't regularly see creature spawns.

For example, I've had at least 3 scouts in the past 2 weeks in which after my peds got out of their cars for a few rounds, rats or insects spawned around them and attacked. A couple of my guys got munched on because I didn't see the rats until it was too late.

Do creatures count as a third faction for purpose of ending a combat event? Must there be no confident creatures to finish combat, or is it enough to not have any confident NPCs.

Actually the last one I had, the NPCs were out of the car, and 2 rats were attacking them. I demoed teh NPCs, and there was still 1 rat at 100%, and the game went to the looting screen.

You don't need to kill all creatures to end these combats; they end as soon as there are no more creatures actively pursuing anyone.

Since I've been playing (Feb 2010), I've only seen creatures spawn once. It happened to be when I was chasing down the traders, and it spawned with the other cars, so I really didn't get to do/see much.

I've seen bad guys get out of cars fairly often, and had people out of cars myself, usually to lob Molotovs. Are the creatures much rarer near Somerset? Does it take a while, like a certain number of turns outside the car before they come out to play?
