my desire to just be a FUCKING IDIOT all day long is rapidly overtaking my ability to FUNCTION

i suspect that means i'm MENTALLY ILL


There's a few things that can happen when you just toss things on the ground. I've had guards chastise me for leaving sharp blades around and putting it back in my knapsack, people just picking it up and going "hehe finders keepers!" and two people running across it at the same time and fighting over it.

If you can provoke two members of peacefully hostile (consider each other enemies, but all members are non-aggressive people who don't pick fights) factions to take the first blows, a massive gang battle can break out.

That Skyrim video reminded me that I encountered something weird (who would of thought). I was just finishing one of the main quests and had to talk to Delphine to continue. She wasn't in the hideout and when I turned around she was right behind me with a bunch of npc's. This is what happened.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGmu2BbUbWI

I ended up having to do the reset ai console command since she became hostile to me and wouldn't de-aggro.

Skyrim had some of the funniest poo poo like that happen. I never did get an entire town to fight over a necklace though, sadly, I dropped gems/enchanted poo poo all over town and all that happened is guards told me off for littering. Be nice to see them pick poo poo up, sell it for good gear and then be going around in it. Like in morrowind if you sold good gear to a shopkeeper first thing they'd do is put it on.

I also had a follower moment that sadly I didn't film where you meet whatsisname from the stormcloaks finally and somehow he was aggroed to the npc's still so when Lydia burst in late she buried an axe in the guys head. I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen.

I kept getting a glitch in NV during the one casino with the cannibals.
For whatever reason, Rex was deeply offended by the Mortimer's dinner speech and hosed him up. Numerous times.
...Or maybe he was agreeing with him?

It got pretty annoying after awhile though because I was going for a certain "ending" to the quest.

That whole sequence is kinda boned. In my most recent playthrough--2012, I think? Some after after the latest official patch--and everyone in the room would aggro to me if I ever entered sneaking mode. They didn't really care that I just came out of a restricted area... just that I came out of it crouched.

The entire White Glove Society questline is buggy. It's also a really complicated set of quests with at least four massively different endings, lots of minor things that you can do to influence it, etc. It's a really fun and memorable part of the game, but it must have been a playtesting nightmare.

For example: The informant who gets assassinated is scripted to die. Right after he tells you where the guy about to be killed and eaten is being kept, an assassin bursts in and kills him with one shot. He'll die even if you reverse-pickpocket a helmet onto him ("here, wear this Power Armour Helmet"), or jam the door closed, or put a pile of frag-mines and C4 at the spot the assassin spawns. He'll just spontaneously drop dead of a gunshot wound to the head, even if you're fast enough to shoot the gun out of the assassin's hand (which is doubly weird because that's a thing you can do to Mister Burke in Fallout 3). It's not really a glitch, but it's clear that his death was made a scripted event to stop clever players keeping him alive, which would raise all sorts of questions later in the quest.

Also, Mortimer is no longer counted as a member of the White Gloves if you trick him into serving fake human flesh then reveal it (by showing the guy he was meant to have cooked). He's a neutral character at this point, but dealing any damage to him causes him to go hostile towards you, leading to the entire White Glove Society bludgeoning him to death with their canes. Just clip him with anything when he's on his way out, and watch the upper-class bumrush this guy to lynch him. If you don't hurt him at all, nobody stops him fleeing.

Same thing happened to me because I was exploring before getting the quest to investigate there. Whole casino aggroed on me for just sneaking around.

Does NV not do that "Wait 3 in game days for NPCs to cool off" thing that was in 3?

Did anyone else loathe having to get the Pimpboy? I remember you had to do this very specific sequence of events and if you didn't do it right, the dialogue choice for it would never come up?

Also, there's a Big Horn in Mutant town that killed Marcus, off-screen. I came back after four hours of game-play, saw he was dead, reloaded, killed the big horn and had to do the bye-bye love quest all over again.

Somehow I'm not surprised that that bug is still in the game.

The one bug I remember that I think made it to release is sometimes when you switch to your pistol weapon, you wouldn't actually switch weapon models so you would hold your Rifle/Shotgun/Sniper two-handed on the grip like a pistol and fire on enemies like that. It mostly seemed to happen for laser weapons.

It's not an LP, I just named all my soldiers after Goons because I am uncreative. Good news, Apples, you haven't died yet! If it creeps you out I'll rename her though. That squad consists of Geop, Panzer Skank, Didja Redo and Apples, as seen selected in the video. (I think the other two are Daikatana Ritsu and 100 HOGS AGREE...)

I think the guy he's using the super move on disappears off screen as soon as the super move starts? Like, the move glitched out the character positioning so bad he left the screen entirely?

Also, it looks like he jumps towards his target, activates the move, and then repeats the jump as if he hadn't jumped in the first place? I wish I knew what was supposed to be happening but Marvel vs Capcom games are batshit anyway so I don't have a prayer.

That move is supposed to be an unblockable grab with a cutscene animation. MODOK got switched in and he did the animation RIGHT after coming into the stage, which must have somehow changed the grabbing animation to the jump-in one. You can also see nova bugging out inside of MODOK, which is probably a zero position for him once the grab animation starts.

This glitch is actually a side-effect of the snap-back glitch with nova. This glitch allows you to have 2 characters on the screen at once and its pretty silly. You'll never see it in a real match since it's really hard to do and the opponent has to initiate it.

In Castlevania HOD, in the third chapter, There's this gear that sits on a ledge.
After playing through it a couple of times, the gear looks like it sort of got moved to the same layer as a part of the background.
This caused it to freak the gently caress out and go into seizure mode, rapidly blinking in and out of the background.

Also, while probably not a glitch and more of an over-site than anything else, its possible to lure a ghost across the entire level and use them to launch yourself to places you shouldn't be. Like places where you need to use a platform switch to raise a platform or other such things.

If it's like most games each character plays several overlapping animations at once. So he's using the "intently listening" animation for his face, the "look at speaker" animation for his neck, and the "pole dance" animation for his body rather than whatever he's supposed to be doing in that scene.

This might be a combination of misremembering or an LP or a what-if scenario, but did someone do a writeup about a big city in TES: Oblivion being murdered because of some guard taking an apple, and having a series of really bad events happen afterwords?

It was posted on a devblog, I think. The player robbed a guard of everything, so he had no money to buy food and Radiant AI dictated every NPC must do what it takes to eat at that time, so the guard went and robbed a store, aggroing the shopkeeper, which aggro'd the guard faction in the town. Some of the guards were using arrows and hit bystanders and drew them into the fight, and this continued until everyone in town was in one huge brawl. When there was one civilian left, he ran away, tailed by some guards, to the next town, where the process started again.

e: I think it was brought up when discussing why NPCs were made immortal in Oblivion onwards.

Goddamn, that's got to be the best snowballing glitch narrative I've heard since the Corrupted Blood Plague. Speaking of which, anyone happen to know of any other incidents of status effects or whatever getting out of hand and becoming virtual epidemics in online games or is the Corrupted Blood one really the only time that's ever happened?
