Radiant Story is Skyrim’s unique storytelling feature that acts as a narrator for the player. In practice, it’ll look at the history of your playthrough and cater upcoming quests to your character. It might, for example, add context by switching out a kidnapped character for an NPC you’ve previously met.

Executive Producer at Bethesda, let Tom into a secret while they discussed the feature a few weeks ago. Radiant Story was creating crime-conscious chickens.

PC Gamer: “Can you think of anything you’ve seen Radiant Story do that’s surprised you?”

Todd Howard: Let’s see… something that was good lately… but this was a bug – lately we realised that chickens were reporting crimes. I found that very funny. That was just last week: “Why are we getting caught?” “Oh, the CHICKENS are reporting the crimes!”

PC Gamer: (Laughs) If there’s some way that could be made clear to the player, that’d be a great feature.

Todd Howard: That actually took us a while to track down, that bug. Like, “Why is this happening?” (Laughs)

I'm glad they fixed it though xD

I hope they do not keep this kind of funny bugs, because it would annoy so hard, and you can't spend the whole game killing every chicken in Skyrim... O_O

i want to unpatch that on a friend.

lmao :laugh:

Chickens are not amused by criminal scum. :C

Lol!!

Skyrim to be renamed "The Elder Chicken V"

Stool pigeons... I guess you can threaten them with fried chicken.

Reminds me of Minecraft, i do hope there is atleast one crime reporting chicken left as an easter egg.

(For those of you who aren't logged on/don't have an account, it's a chicken with the caption, "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINA SCUM!")

^lmao anyways i just imagined a chicken decked out in imperial armor saying "stop right there criminal scum!!!!!!"

That would be effective possibly but you could always go the direct route and just become a master at the art of choking the chicken ..... :hubbahubba:
