Can you think of any other good examples? They're all on the tip of my tongue but can't think of any

I'm stealing these examples because they were better than the ones I could think of:
In New Vegas, the narator isn't just a voice over but an actual character who hangs out in a room
In Skyrim, the statues are actually just NPC's that are frozen in place
In Arkham City, if you no-clip through the walls you can find multiple riddler NPC's hidden throught the map, similar to the New Vegas example
In World of Warcraft, all quest events happen via 'Bunny Triggers'

That's hilarious. Dumb hacks like this can add up and cause problems sometimes. Respect to the person who thought this one up, though.

I would love to see the creation of this idea. "Sam, we've got to make a train for the new DLC. How can we do that within the game engine?" "What if... the train was a hat?" "..." "A really big, train-shaped hat with a person underneath running really fast! It'll work!" "Whatever Sam, you do that. I'm going back to making Liberty Prime quotes."

It seems like a silly way to do it, since they already have code for vertibirds. Couldn't they just make a reskinned vertibird that doesn't... verti?

The article mentions that the vertibirds were just pre-rendered animations that did not operate within the game's physics engine.
