Steal, murder and kill with BUCKETS : V

» Thu May 10, 2012 5:24 pm

Hi @ll!

Just wanted to report a (funny) bug with Oblivion:

The Line of Sight is correctly implemented. So is the Sight-blocking function of items. BUT Beth didn't think about player creativity. Put a Bucket on the head of any NPC and you can steal everything. Because there is no Line of hearing, you can even kill the buckethead's spouse.

Now the most important weapon for thiefs/assassins are: BUCKETS!

Wow, they really have a line of sight and hearing? Haha, great!

I guess they DON'T have a line of hearing or they would hear their spouse's screams

That is genius.

Deus Ex should've had this.

That is beyond awesome!

I think this qualifies as one of the fun bugs they would leave unfixed by choice if they caught during testing.

Can we use tankards for chicken heads?

That's not a bug...

Will there be achievements for Bucketkills?

What testing?

Some glitches in Bethesda games are worth buying the game only for seeing them! I hope this one will never, ever get fixed!

Awesome!

I still think someone needs to shoot someone in the hea....bucket and see if the bucket stops the arrow or if it still kills them and post the results on YouTube.

ROFL I am trying that when I get home from work. That's awesome that buckets finally have a use.

Tested just now:

Bucket on head stops arrow - and the buckethead doesnt get mad.

And no i wont up it on utube -- too much work

So what you're telling me is that my Khajiit stealth build will carry around a plethera of buckets with him as to avoid being detected? THAT sounds like a good YouTube video...lol

Who needs poison apples? LOL

Who needs poison apples? LOL

They do have less weight than buckets!

» Thu May 10, 2012 6:55 pm

And now that I think about it - do wooden buckets act differently than metal ones? Did anyone already try?

» Thu May 10, 2012 5:38 am

Hahahah this is friggin' epicness. I want to put a bucket on someone's head, stand back and take pot shots at their head with a bow... target practice!

Who the hell thinks up these things?! Never, in a million years would I have thought to do this.
