10 Video Game NPCs You Shouldn't Have Trusted

Final Fantasy VI's town of Zozo is home to criminals, thieves, and worst of all liars who will do anything but offer you actual assistance.

Aside from a single NPC south of the Inn, every NPC you encounter will tell you a half-truth or flat-out porky pie.

Hell, the first NPC you come across even tells you, "Zozo? Never heard of it," and another NPC who promises to let you pass you will immediately start attacking. All in all, this really sets the tone for your time in the town.

There's a quest in Zozo that requires players to set the Inn's stopped clock to the correct time by asking the town's citizens what the current time is.

Yet because everybody in Zozo is a liar, you're basically forced to figure the answer out by process of elimination, assuming that every time an NPC tells you is the wrong one until there's just two options left.

At least in this case the dishonesty is played for total laughs and it's made almost immediately clear that nobody here should be taken at their word.
