If you read the story about Bethesda not fixing amusing bugs and wondered what sort of bugs it was talking about, then try this one for size: a recent bug in Skyrim caused the game's chickens to report crimes to the town guards.

Bethesda's Todd Howard said that the design team started getting caught for crimes more often than they should have, and that it wasn't immediately obvious what was going on. "'Why are we getting caught?' 'Oh, the chickens are reporting the crimes!' he joked. "That actually took us a while to track down, that bug. Like, 'Why is this happening?'"

Sadly, despite being incredibly entertaining, the bug, which Howard attributed to the game's Radiant Story system, was fixed. However, several amused fans have vowed to mod it back in, so if you want chickens to rat you out, it might be worth picking up the PC version of the game. Perhaps Bethesda itself could add it in as part of a DLC quest: a crazed wizard who has enchanted all the animals in a local village perhaps, or a strange daedric curse that has turned a family into poultry.

seems so much fun....tho only if the quest is in someones dreams

I read this in the PC Gamer Magazine interview with him, was hilarious!! :rofl:

We know

That guy in Fable III warned us chickens would try to take over the world! :rofl:

lol thats where i got it


royal we is it? i am on these forums every day, and i didnt know. so "we" dont know, YOU knew...

a quest mod with crime reporting chickens would be hillarious call it the poultry of justice

I am not sure if i want that kind of mod...i mean will chickens report me if i go with somebodys wife to warehouse at night? :hubbahubba:

that is hilarious. But i think it would get really annoying if there are a lot of chickens in skyrim

A lot of us know.

Also, if you use the search bar you might of found the already existing thread about this. I'm not trying to start anything but the same rules apply to everyone.

Here's one thread i found on it, there is one other as well. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1235555-funny-bug-from-interview-with-todd/page__st__120__p__18744429__hl__chickens+reporting+crimes__fromsearch__1#entry18744429

of course there will be. nords love chicken tenders

I knew too, found out on the forums . Awesome anyway, I'll go chicken hunting ASAP when I can, just to be safe.

We shall kill the poultry. Kill them all.

Agreed.

The chicken revolution is upon us! None shall be spared from their feathery wrath! :spotted owl:

KILL THE CHICKENS!!! so you can make chicken sandwiches...

I want to kick chickens now. My record for one play through was 195 chickens kicked and a 15ft distance.
