(I apologize if there's already a thread for this, but thread search seems to be broken at the moment.)

I think I Shall Taunt You's Video Games section needs some cleanup. Many of the given examples should be on either Practical Taunt or Taunt Button, with I Shall Taunt You reserved for taunts that don't fit in either of those categories. The following examples should definitely stay:

  • Character chatter that isn't initiated by the player and doesn't have a mechanical effect: taunting enemy chatter, characters taunting each other in cutscenes, the player character running his mouth off without the player starting it, and so on.
  • When the player can choose to taunt in a dialogue tree, but not simply to change numbers. For instance, freeing Minsc at the beginning of Baldur's Gate II by taunting him or using a supposedly insulting nickname as a Trust Password in Full Throttle would count, but taunting random NPCs in Morrowind so you can kill them in "self-defense" would not.

Any thoughts?
