Ants

Post » Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:25 pm

Anyone else notice the ants in Skyrim? At first I didn't believe it, but on closer inspection, sure enough, they are there. I realize this may be a very minor detail, but it does go to show the level of depth they put into this game. Pretty cool, me-thinks. How many other games have tiny ants walking around in them?

They are on some tree stumps. Look on the tree stumps in Riverwood.

yes i saw them and i was impress but now that you remind me of them i am somewhat disappointed, thinking that they put something in the game that 10% maybe less of the gamers would notice, macro detail isn't necessarily a good thing if there are bigger things to worry about, especially the weird looking textures.

now if they actually act like ants and aren't just an animated texture, that would be impressive :biggrin:

Wow.

I've played a lot of Skyrim recently (in amongst some travel interruptions) and I had not noticed this detail.

I love it with you find a nice little detail that gives a world a real feel. Thanks for this pointer, I'll be off searching for some ants this evening.

There's also a cockroach texture in the files, but I haven't seen one of those yet. Hope I'm not eating at the wrong Inns. :sick:

Nobody wanted to believe...believe they even existed. But when the truth finally dawns...it dawns in your sweetroll.

LOL A COCKROACH TEXTURE.

Hmm, i don't think they would be so evil as to replace giant spiders with giant cockroaches eh?

huh, you'd think that sometime in my 114 hours of playtime I'd have noticed the ants, lol.

btw, just tested it, they are unnafected by fire, frost, lightning, and fus roh dah.

Don't seem to be in the 360 version. I've spent a lot of time staring at tree stumps and have never seen any.
