Skyrim Bug Turned Chickens Into Informants

[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?

 

[Genixma]

o_o Oh no. The Cuccoos have gained intellegence. Forget Ganon we must unite against the Cuccoo swarms!

 

[kouriichi]

So does it still taste like a chicken?
I dont wanna eat a rat....

 

[Aprilgold]

aww

I thought it would be cooler if the chickens gave you info on stuff (you know, that kind of informant)

I honestly thought they would be fences..
BAWK, what ch BAWuying.

but on the guard angel.

chicken pecks at ground.
Guard: WHAT IS IT CHICKEN, DID SOMEONE STEAL!?
Chicken bawks
Main guy comes around corner
Guard: HAULT CRIMINAL SCUM!

I was more thinking of

Chicken: psht, yo
player: what?
chicken: I got this here little business I need to be done
player: I'm listening

Imagine turning up to a city thats deserted except for the chickens and some corpses, now that would make a good horror game!

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.

Actually, I found the "Death by a thousand watermelons" bug to be absolutely hilarious.


It was known better as the item duplication glitch, but my point remains... Those guards never knew what hit them.

[sub]hint: it was watermelons, thousands of them.[/sub]


Yea, bugs are bugs, but some of the time you find the ones that just make the game entirely different.

Ah that was a funny glitch, I saw a video of someone using them to dam the river by the inperial city, and cross it like a bridge XD

 

[jokulhaups]

Snitches get stitches.

Also, why would anyone ever want to take this bug out of the game? This is something that should have been thought of ages ago. I mean seriously, wizards and the like, but no conspiring birds?

Never trust a chick to keep her mouth shut

Welcome to several months ago - yep, you've got to be reported and there's also a separate bounty for each of the 9 or so areas.

Awesome. This means all I have to do is kill every witness. Well, except for chickens.
What I always disliked though is that when you kill shop owner you can't loot everything he had in stock.

 

[theultimateend]

That's one that's likely better off fixed, even if funny. It might be funny at first. But it would get old pretty quickly.

I can almost say with certainty that I'd giggle and shout "I've been cock blocked again?!" for at least the first 30 or so times.

 

[mew4ever23]

That is hilarious. Maybe save that for harder difficulties?

 

[RJ Dalton]

I was gong to make a joke about informants being turned into chickens, but it looks like the article itself ninja'd me.

 

[Robert Ewing]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTOP, YOU VIOLATED THE LAW.

I know it's been done, but I wanted to be immortalized on the internet with these words too.

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

...What?

So you guys are reporting on a bug for a game that isn't even released for another month?

I admit it's amusing and all... but still... slow news day?

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Mrs. Tweedy! The chickens are spying on us!

 

[Agayek]

Apparently not!
This is good. Very, very good... MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
Also, if modding becomes possible on consoles (God I hope so), then I'd install some mod to get this back in,
I'd now have a legitimate excuse to kill chickens!
Captcha: 0.27x titratio...
I don't want to know what's on captcha's mind.

I always just used what they did to me in Ocarina of Time as justification to murder all chickens everywhere.

...

I mean.. uh...

Look over there! Something shiny!

PS - 10:1 odds "titratio" is actually supposed to be titration. I believe the escapist uses that Google captcha thing that uses pictures of words from books to help improve a text scanner, and someone probably just forgot the trailing n.

 

[badgersprite]

Clearly these chickens are related to the ones in Hyrule.

 

[imagremlin]

That is all

I think I sense a meme in development here
