I really hope the gymnastic scorpions were not considered 'entertaining'.

Few things ruin immersion faster than that.

But not MOTHERFUCKING CAZADORS!werty10089 said:
This seems a bit weird, hopefully these bugs aren't TOO immersion breaking, either that or bethesda has come up with a handy excuse for not fixing every bug in the game.
Quite childish if that's the case.
I MEANT FOR IT TO HAPPEN!
Sounds like Valve's policy of "Throw it in/Keep it in". Remember Episode One,just before Dog throws you and Alyx into the Citadel?
"You DID do the math,right?"
[Dog shakes head]
That was a glitch. Devs left it in. Same with the zombie in the dumpster chucking your grenade back at you in Episode Two.

It seems like this is more of a "We couldn't fix all of the bugs, so let's just say we did it on purpose."
But I dunno if it's the best idea for a company with a buggy history to admit, before their next huge games out, that their next huge game will be buggy as well.

I did love paintbrush staircases...Ranorak said:
Shrug. If it's entertaining and not too immersion-breaking, I'm ok with it.
WOW some of you guys are overreacting. Let me break it down for you. In Quake, the whole shabang of strafe jumping / bunny hopping is in fact a bug. And today, Quake just wouldn't be Quake without it.
What they say is actually true to all developers in one way or another, it's called priorities people.

Hah, I remember Riot Games doing same thing.
One patch:
"Shaco's clone no longer displays items." Explanation - to make it easier for players to target the real one before they hit him/he gets to cast a spell (clone can only auto-attack, no spells no nothing). LeBlanc and Wukong added to game after that also had this "feature".
Just few patches ago:
"Fixed bug with clones not showing the owner's items". So basically a reverse - something they once deemed a feature "turned out" to be a bug.

"Cool" as in "if you catch him and save game, you start a new game."TimeLord said:
Yer... I think there's a bit of contention where funny and too gamebreaking collide.
Some people like the dancin' ragdolls, others don't. Would be nice to have an optional patch that takes "funny" bugs out, if they have time to produce it.
If it's a bug that's not very noticeable, then I'm cool with it. Stuff like stacking the paintbrushes - you probably aren't going to notice unless you try, or glitching off the map in a hard to get to/useless area.
Stuff like the Quake jumping bugs imo also aren't that bad, it changes the game, but not in a way that wrecks it. Multiplayer games like that aren't really about the immersion in the environment and more about knocking people's blocks off
