I remember one time I was playing Skyrim and fought a bandit, decapitated him with one of those fancy killcam finishing moves, and the bandit continued insulting me after he died and his head was rolling around on the ground. I think I have a screenshot in my Steam screenshots folder, but I'm on my phone right now.

My game has quite good support for ships and guns, because those are two core aspects of the game. It has...rather less support for anything else. I did make planes their own first-class citizens, but they get launched by invisible plane guns that I position on top of aircraft carriers -- and it's the gun, not the ship, that the plane returns to when it needs to rearm or refuel. But when it comes to bosses? They're all ships or guns. The flying battleship is a ship, of course -- in fact, it uses submarine logic to float at a fixed altitude instead of rocking with the ocean's movement. It just floats above the water instead of belowe it. The submarine boss is a ship, and when it (in a cinematic) flips over and turns into a battleship, I despawn the submarine and spawn the battleship. The giant volcano boss is a gun. The train is a ship, and so are the flying train tracks it travels on.
I know it's not going to get picked, especially over a dick joke, but I'd like to nominate "invisible plane guns that I position on top of aircraft carriers" as a new thread title.

I think some things people call 'glitches' are just design decisions that got changed.

Like, a critical miss always fails to hit the enemy pokemon, unless you're using Swift (which always hits). Critical misses are just a normal-rear end mechanic in a lot of games, I wouldn't call it a 'glitch'.
IIRC in Gen 1, even Swift has a chance to miss, due to the crit miss formula.

nah swift doesn't miss in red/blue
Looks like in the Japanese versions of the game it could miss but it was fixed for the English release.

I also remember having a weird dog companion, and the dog would constantly try to sit down next to me, but he would always sit too close, and it would nudge me just an inch, and then the dog would try to sit closer, and it would nudge me again, again and again, and I'm sitting in the dark trying to line up a stealthy sniper arrow but my loving dog gently shoves me off the cliff.
My father's golden retriever loves to sit on people's feet, so this is the most realistic part of Skyrim AFAICT.

Not quite the same thing, but in the same vein are games from before analog sticks became the standard where diagonal movement was faster than walking straight forward because speed was calculated by the direction you were holding on the pad, and diagonal movement was technically pressing two directions at once. IIRC Mega Man Legends worked like that, speedruns have MM sprinting at a drunken tilt.

Oh, and Bethesda didn't give Obsidian any documentation or training on the engine. They had to figure it out on their own, on the fly.

Taeke posted:

I just realised there's so much jank in skyrim that aren't even glitches and don't really impact gameplay so I just don't notice them anymore. Like earlier I killed some bandits and they ragdoll to the ground after I burned them to death which isn't pretty but fine. But then I go up a mountain and kill a snow fox and instead of ragdolling to the floor it keeps its momentum from running away from me and just stiffly yeets itself forward in all of its taxidermied glory and making a couple of bounces before tumbling down a cliff
Yeah, corpses sliding down hills and off cliffs is pretty common, and while the Ice Form shout is very useful, if you use it where the ground isn't perfectly level the physics engine freaks out.

Is Obsidian one of those situations where the company still exists but basically none of the talent from their "classic" catalog that everyone loves is still there?
