Scripting in game development is also very helpful for programmers when bug fixing. I've had the situation where a game designer told me about some bug in an elaborate mission, and instead of playing through the entire mission to recreate the one thing that breaks, I could quickly with a few lines script the small scenario necessary to create the bug. (eg. spawn a car, attach car to road, make the car drive through the intersection, hit crash)
