10 NPCs That Broke Video Games

Ask any gamer what the worst thing a game can throw at you is, and the answer will usually be escort missions. They force you to babysit braindead NPCs for an unbearable amount of time, and the tiniest slipup can cause your annoying protege to die, forcing you to start over.

However, if this still doesn't sound so bad to you, this one NPC from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has actually found a way to make the agonizing process of taking her from point A to point B an even more obnoxious nightmare.

During the quest "I, Diona," you are tasked with escorting the titular Diona to the safety of the nearby town. The mission is mostly standard stuff, with an obligatory ambush halfway through the quest, except that after Diona is attacked, she refuses to move.

Diona will cower in a corner and keep asking you to escort her, even though she won't follow you. If you want to finish the quest, your only option is to spend a good hour nudging her towards your objective, as she keeps pestering you about picking up the pace.

And then she still has the audacity to want to romance your character! As if!
