I find it great fun to shoot NPC's when they are about to throw a grenade...
I heard one literally say "oh crap!" When they tried to jump out of the way.

... as long as Shadout Mapes doesn't get in the way.
honestly, making an option to buy sticky grenades that act like the shield ones instead of bouncing might make them more useful.Perhaps they could replace grenades with limpets. You know, like hatchbreakets. They clamp on to the NPC * and then explode.

Or comedy "detonate on impact" or "proximity mine" options.
On a slight tangent, if they could let us attach grenades to walls - with a proximity trigger - and then walk away, that could be fun.Perhaps they could replace grenades with limpets. You know, like hatchbreakets. They clamp on to the NPC * and then explode.

The original Deus Ex (circa 1999) let you do this. I used to attach gas grenades to walls at key choke points (pardon the pun) and then when the guards got alerted and came running, boom... cough cough thud. So much fun.
That or they need to make these grenades sticky, like the plasma grenades in the Halo games.
All that said, I still tend to use frag grenades a LOT when clearing settlements and in CZs. If I get a tight cluster of enemies together, I usually shoot them all with my laser rifle, and then throw the frag. It's some what effective and fun.
