Barrel-Aided Crime Spree Ravages Skyrim


Forget stealth and cunning. All the cool kids are straight jackin' fools with the aid of wicker baskets.

Before we go any further, I want you all to watch the clip embedded at right. Go ahead. It's only 40 seconds long. I'll wait.

Done? Good. So, what would you like to call that? A bug? A feature? The most brilliant advancement in gaming realism since Mario started exploring the third dimension?

Hyperbole aside, I'm honestly a bit baffled by this. I don't know whether to laugh at the silly virtual people and their loss of material goods or praise Bethesda for taking the time to code a world where cartoon logic is totally and completely viable.

This also raises a number of important questions. Can I tie a sword into a bow? Can dragons change signs to read "Dovahkiin Season?" What happens if I paint a tunnel on the side of a mountain?

Damnit, I want this game even more now... and I don't have the cash (or hats) to pay for it.

 

[Kopikatsu]

That's insanely badass.

'Oh, it's the Dragonborn! Hi- Why is it night time? Oh well!'
-Barrel falls off-
'Where did the Dragonborn go? Wait...WHERE DID MY WINE GO?!'

Smart NPC in action.

Will have to try this when I get back on that game in about half an hour. It's pure genius!

Wonder if it's possible to sneak up on a bandit and put a bucket on his head...

 

[KeyMaster45]

That's beautiful is what that is. I can already see a slew of web comics poking fun at the implied stupidity of Skyrim's populace. "Oh dear you seem to have put a bucket over my head, well I suppose I'll wait for you to take it off. Why does it sound like someone is stealing all my fine china? Oh well, must be a trick of the bucket."

This should definetely stay in the game, as i have a sneaking suspicion that they left that bug in which the mammoths are in mid-air in the game on purpose...
But anyway: AM-A-ZING!

 

[Lacsapix]

Bethesda said they won't fix entertaining bugs.....
this one scores the #1 position now.

May no head go unpotted and no rug be unraked. May the Radiant AI eternally prevail.

 

[lacktheknack]

That's really impressive, actually. It looks like they've actually programmed NPCs to SEE things, like real people!

Now, if only they could react to having a bucket put on their head.

 

[uppitycracker]

This is utterly brilliant. I'm going to see if I can get away with murder in this fashion....

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

This isn't surprising, that's how I rob all the local markets. 'Cause I live in a village, with markets. Seriously though, that is AWESOME!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Skyrim.

 

[Charli]

Hehehehe, hahahahaahaaa... *sob* Why I no can play yet.

I need to do this. To everyone

 

[Nurb]

"Why didn't I think of that?"

 

[Euphbug]

I think my reaction to this achievement in pot based wizardry will have to be laughter....lots and lots of laughter. I am not kidding first time I watched that I pretty much ran out of breath laughing.

 

[Evilsanta]

Wow, That has to be one of the most awesome ways to be a thief.

I want Skyrim just so I can do that.

 

[F'Angus]

Hahaha I love this. Now if only I could afford this.

 

[castlewise]

I think this is one of those "bugs" that maybe they left in because it is, frankly, amazing.
