Do you follow the Fox? : V - Skyrim

Hey, has anyone here ever seen a wolf actually attack another creature? As in, for food? Because I've yet to see a lone wolf try to take down a rabbit or, say, a pack of wolves go after a deer.

Are you kidding? Wolves try and eat anything, mammoths, sabre cats, bandits, whatever. Once they notice the player though, the player becomes the food of choice.

Why else would a whole town try to kill you for trying to make your own pheasant briast?

Have you ever seen a live pheasant in this game? Now that's food for thought!

How about you guys follow your compass and cut the fox/goat [censored]?

In OB it always seemed that deer would show me a shortcut to exactly where I was going. Haven't tried it in this game yet.

And do you follow the Goat? I follow them for a bit more often than not and it often leads to a place I haven't been or shows me the path in a snowstorm. What a great technique...organic and natural. What has the Fox or Goat shown you? Last night it was a bandit hideaway for me and I thought I'd been over that ground already.

:tes:

They lead me into a river where they somehow don't drown as they run across the bottom and out the other side, then they turn around and run back through the river.

this is a load of "bull loaney"

All the animals in the game have to follow the world pathgrids. Would make sense that if they are running from anything that they will follow the pathgrid of least resistance. Those fox really are great about leading you around in the mountains when its a blinding snowstorm. It's not like they are going to run off a cliff.

As a footnote, pathing grids are also the reason why your followers seem to flip out and run into seemingly random directions when you walk/climb onto uneven terrain. Those positions are not on the pathing grid for various reasons, so the follower's AI doesn't know how to get there. They'll try to find the closest approximation to that on the grid. Which might not work that well...

You weren't playing Skyrim. You played Alice in Wonderland how it seems like :biggrin:

Man's been hitting the skooma, I say!

After 'A Night to Remember' I'm not allowed near goats anymore.
