My child's pet fox has asthma : V

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 1:49 am

I think it is great that my characters daughter got herself a pet fox.. but the damn thing sounds like it it needs a respirator. It creeps me out when I'm walking around my house and all of a sudden I can hear it behind me wheezing..
Has anyone else experienced the darth vader fox?

I have never heard a fox breath in Skyrim... 0.o

That huffing sound has always been foxes' regular outdoor noise, no reason why they shouldn't do it indoors too.

They do tend to have a loud breathing sound. Even when resting. I guess it helps to find them out in the woods, since they lead you to stuff.

They do what now??? i have not noticed this.. probably because i ignore them or try shoot stuff at them..
What do they lead you to?

When Lucia found that fox, I told her to get rid of it immediately. I don't need fleas and worms festering in my house full of furs lying about.

But I did love seeing the option. It was so unexpected.

Now, if she brings home a saber cat, then we'll keep it. Cats > dogs. :devil:

Foxes aren't dogs.

They're considered canids, but they're a seperate tribe of them from dogs/wolves/coyotes. They cannot interbreed with any of the three.

And while I like both cats and dogs, I would prefer the fox. They, at least, don't usually try to kill me. Those saber cats seem to think I'm a walking take-out dinner.

I misread "asthma" as "autism" at first and was all "WTF!?" for a little bit.

That svcks about the foxes being noisy. I wanted to get one as a pet.

All this time I thought it was a chihuahua.

My kid keeps on bringing home a damn Skeever... [censored] it i said no to Skeevers!

At least it's not as silly as the Cow's noise, it's tail flick/chewing sounds like a Giant is approaching, and when it moves it's hooves sounds like a mini earthquake.

That fox breathing sound scares the crap out of me, especially since it's the same noise wolves make. Since my game is glitched and I can't hear wolves howling before they attack, I always freak out when I hear the panting, looking around wildly for an attacking wolf pack.

Yes, the fox is autistic. It's easy to startle, hates hugs, and has really crappy people skills.

(NOTE - I'm autistic myself. So obviously, no offense intended to autistic people)

That's a Myth, a Myth I say.

Whatever noise the foxes make, it cannot be more annoying than the bloody mubcrabs. I had to reload a previous save because I stupidly told Samuel he could keep the little bugger.

It's not that bad, it's just a bit weird when he's nearby. I watched it when my daughter was asleep and it was doing that all night next to her bed. A tad creepy. :biggrin:

It's still better than a freakin mudcrab or whatever the alternatives are.

it's a myth I firmly believe in. I stopped killing foxes once I realized they were acting as my furry little wilderness guides.

This topic made my day.

I tried following and repeatedly got led into ambushes. That's a fox for you!

I always hunt foxes...their pelt only weighs .5 and they give one leather per each piece. And you can find them everywhere...well before I killed them all anyway. :evil:

I also got a pet fox. The sound it makes D: No idea how that girl can sleep with that thing breathing so heavily just right next to you.

I posted that exact same thing in that thread about John Goodman's wife.
