Nope, if you chop someones head off in the middle of nowhere, the guards will no longer use their Spidey Sense to zero in on your exact location and launch a tactical nuclear strike.Frostbite3789 said:
Crimes need to be witnessed to be reported.
Keep in mind, modders don't have to worry about getting the game out in time, they can spend all the time they want looking through a 100 hour plus game hammering out every solitary clipping wall texture.ChupathingyX said:
Bethesda had to spend years, you know, making the game. By the time they got done they probably didn't have that long for bug fixing, compared to the size of the game.
I'd go so far to say that some of the bugs in Oblivion(I never found that many) were funny enough to ignore. Sure, they could be doing damage control, but I don't see why we should assume the worst.
P.S: I thought Fallout 3 was pretty funny
Name your character The Mute Avenger, make him a scruffy old, blonde Wood Elf, and go on a quest for revenge.Volan said:Oh, this is so very amusing.I'll forever be paranoid of chickens, now.
This will likely be a meme in the near future.
P.S: Bonus if you make a spell called "Hey Listen" that provokes a psychotic rage.
Damn gossiping Hens! They just won't leave us alone! First sign of trouble and they chicken out and call the cops! Gives me a good reason to take them all out with an AoE Fireball!
Well, there's no-one here but us chickens.
does that make all the chickens stool pigeons?
Perhaps they are just keeping the guards abreast of the situation.
I do think its a fowl bug though, sure to ruffle some feathers.
Guess they chickened out on the amusing bug thing.
Do they have egg on their faces?
Maybe someone was egging the chickens on.
The case of the missing eggs was tough to crack.
Ok, I think I'm done. I'll go get my coat.

We're simply different people, I've never been bothered by anything less than game breaking bugs.ChupathingyX said:
And I don't see why things have to be so very different just because the examples I linked to are a little old.
I agree with you that Bethesda shouldn't have to rely on bugs for innovative features or quirky humour, and I'm not arguing against that. All I'm saying it that if they through sheer serendipity just happen upon an amusing bug there's no reason to get rid of it, and they should learn from it.
Can you say Kentucky Fried Snitches?Ruairi iliffe said:Hmm, talk about knowing something fowl going down.
But other than that, awesome find, would love to see the full Bug report
OT: Why can't they put this as an option like with FONV wild wasteland.
You know, the parallaxing sky texture in the original doom engine was the result of a bug. I remember when I first looked out that window in the first level and saw the sky... It was pretty awesome at the time.ChupathingyX said:
Also, humour is a very subjective thing. What someone finds funny others can find completely obtuse. For my part, I don't have a problem with it, as long as it's not game breaking or anything like that.
The chickens are evolving, folks.
1. In Zelda a bunch of invincible chickens will go on a rampage if you kill just one and they can eventually kill you.
2. In resident evil 5 if you play it on hardcore a chicken can kill you very, very quickly.
3. In Skyrim the chickens now gain oratory capabilities and they can report to guards of criminal activity.
Coincidence? I think fucking not. I don't know what's going on, and perhaps I wont. But this I do know. Video games and chickens? They're up to something.
Be wary.

I do love me some puns =]
Would be cool if chickens did this in the local mage guild and what not, somewhere it could be explained better than just the entirety of Skyrim having magical spy chickens.
I worded my original post really badly; it isn't the bugs that I find annoying, it's what Bethesda are doing about them that I find annoying. They know they're going to have a lot of bugs on their hand, so they're trying to come up with reasons as to why it is okay and everyone should just forgive them for it.GeorgW said:
The Headline for the forum alone made me laugh.
Betheseda should include an option where you can choose to play with the bugs on--kind of like the "Strange Wasteland" perk in New Vegas. You can opt into spy chickens, the world geometry will occionally reach up and snatch characters, and the game could crash at any second.
