Skyrim Bug Turned Chickens Into Informants

[Venereus]

Seem to recall 'spy chickens' in some Minecraft Let's Play that I watched a couple of months ago. How strange.

Yep, it's definitely time for Notch to counter-sue Bethesda!

BAWK RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM

I guess the chicken reported...
*puts on sunglasses*
A crime most fowl
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!

Hopefully this bug does take flight in the form of a mod.

Alright, I admit this is amusing.

They should leave part of it in as an Easter Egg.
Where you can catch one of the town guards going to the coop for a "Neighborhood Watch" meeting; reminiscent of the scene from Hot Fuzz.

Remember: It's all about "The Greater Good".

"or a strange daedric curse that has turned a family into poultry."

Indeed, why not have a mysteriously "empty" village filled with humans turned into intelligent chickens? Also, I want to be able to turn MYSELF into a chicken. Cause that's killer funny

The Greater Goooood.

Man, the amount of chicken type jokes in this thread is just Cuckoo.

I love how Bethesda are using this whole "bugs are funny" ruse to pull the wool over people's eyes because they know that Skyrim is going to have bugs up the wazoo, and with their fantastic QA skills will not be able to fix all of them, or even a good amount of them.

It doesn't matter how funny they are; bugs are still bugs.

I don't mind bugs, I understand they have time to t-bag every rock, shrub, and grain of sand to ensure you don't get stuck, and personally I find bug like these to be hilarious.

I roflmao'ed

Glad to see they found this one! Perhaps this means Bethesda is doing some testing? So maybe, for instance, one of their testers might actually play a female vampire this time? You know, so that they might notice when the game totally rips her face off after saving.

Of course, then they'd still have to actually bother fixing it.


Apologies for my mean-spirited sarcasm. I've just grown tired of all the bugs that Bethesda doesn't seem to think are important enough to fix. I gave them a pass on an awful lot in Daggerfall, because they really were trying something ahead of its time. Morrowind I wasn't so willing to be forgiving, and Oblivion... well, I've had enough. (FYI, I'm referencing a we-can't-be-bothered-to-fix-it bug wherein female vampire PCs in Oblivion have their face data totally destroyed when reloading a save. Modders have gone some way to alleviating it, but even they can't fix it. Appearance may not be a big deal to some people, but it is to a lot of their players.)

omg now you can be stealthy without hearing the guards every five minutes I want skyrim even more.

 

[Buizel91]

That is all

This made me laugh more than the article...Someone post this on 4chan or something! xD

OT: That's quite hilarious, no doubt the modding community will include it back in though. I hope They find all the game breaking bugs though, don't fancy having another buggy game from Bethesda.

 

[Argtee]

Hmm, talk about knowing something fowl going down.

I see what you did there...

Anyways: That sounds hilarious, but I'm glad that they fixed that bug. It would get pretty annoying.

Thanks, that is now my avatar.

Skyrim is using a different engine, so maybe not really as many...

(oh wait, its a NEW engine isnt it? disregard my statement if so :\)

 

[lacktheknack]

That is all

OT: I read that and immediately imagined...

"SIAAAAAAAWWWWWWR! HE STAAAAAAWWWWL MY EEEHHHHHHGS!"

I'm modding this one back in.

 

[GeorgW]

I'm glad to hear they're not too liberal with their funny bugs policy, cuz while this is hilarious, it wouldn't be all that fun to actually play it once the novelty wears off.

This remind me of the bug in Oblivion were you slaughter a town while under the effects of a hallucinogen, and when the bodies are later put in a pile they all turn to sheep

Oh and they literally float away.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

That would be extremely amusing if it happened to someone else. If it happened to ME, however, I'd be pretty pissed off. It would ruin the immersion to have some random crime undone by something as ridiculous as a chicken.


Call me if the chickens start COMMITTING crimes. Now THAT would be funny.

 

[esperandote]

Unintentional comedy at its best

 

[Gudrests]

Wait, people have to report you for crimes now? The LAW isn't all powerful?

They don't immediately peg me as criminal scum?!

No one saw you go in, no one was in the house, no one saw you take anything, no one saw you leave, no one saw you turn the corner,....as you are walking down that block "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM"!!!! ..................the chicken told me. LOL. Sometimes I would ask for directions and they would call me criminal scum... scum is a mean word lol
At least now we know..

 

[SidingWithTheEnemy]

It does make sense that snitches are such chickens.

I probably will scour entire skyrim and roast every chicken I find, just to make to sure they don't report me...

Oh by the way, does the local tavernowner gets arrested when he prepares his famous poultry soup?
