It wasn't just the Chickens...

Mudcrabs will report your crimes against humanity, too!

I just murdered a guy in the middle of nowhere and '40 Bounty added to Whiterun' popped up. I was surprised when I couldn't find anyone in the immediate area...but then I saw a Mudcrab sitting nearby on a rock, staring at me. I killed it, and 'Last witness killed. Bounty removed.' popped up...

If you can't trust Mudcrabs to keep a secret, then I don't even know what the world has come to these days...

Maybe this is one of those funny bugs they are talking about, because that is hilarious. You have made my day. Also, you may want to ***** about it on their forum.

Mudcrab: "I saw some humans the other day. Nasty creatures."

Bastard Mudcrabs....

And to think I spared one earlier...

All the while they are watching, waiting for us to commit crimes then run off to the nearest guard....

To be fair though, I think the conversation would be hilarious. Imagine that guard reporting to his commanding officer....

"Sir, we have a criminal on the loose, a murder was witnessed".

"Was it indeed, we shall have to arrest this breaker of our laws, where is the criminal scum".

"Just out in the wilderness sir, on the way here now".

"Excellent, and how did you come about this information".

"A Mudcrab told me sir".

 

[Giest4life]

Bah! So that's what it is. I murdered a bloke and stole his horse and, suddenly, the bounty on my head increased. Maybe the horse told on me?

That guard is now stationed at the watchtower that now has 3 dragon skeletons around it XD

OT: That would explain one of my weird arrests too then lol

Note to self: Murder all animals as well...

Now that I think about it, I haven't encountered a mudcrab yet, that's unusual.
But that "bug" is just hilarious.

 

[Kopikatsu]

Maybe they are chickens in disguise? Should probably report the bug on the Bethsoft forums.

I did, kind of. Bethesda's forums are missing a bug/glitch subforum.

CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.

I love how Mai'q the liar now says "I saw some mudcrabs the other day, horrible creatures"

Little did he know that they saw him as well.

The solution is trivial. Simply place a bucket on their heads and go about your criminal deeds unfettered.

What? Are you mad?

Have you SEEN a Mudcrab's claws? Those things could rip a tank apart!

 

[Macemaster]

Remember, it's not a bug, it's a feature.

...it's actually a crustacean

 

[Braedan]

Gah, is that what happened when I killed a chicken? Her sister reported the crime? Oh well, I killed her too so it went away...


Edit: By chance did the mudcrab say anything before you killed it? Was it perchance, intoxicated?

YOU WIN EVERYTHING.

And yet, they dont report you when you steal their unborn, unhatched children.
weird priorities those chickens

 

[DirgeNovak]

Funny. Also, is it just me or are mudcrabs a lot harder than in Oblivion? Before they did almost no damage and I could kill them with a punch, and now they're pretty strong and can take a serious beating before croaking. I actually had to run away when five of them attacked me at once. And I was like level 10.

This may be the best Escapist thread ever.

I say we deem this the official Mudcrab Awareness Thread.

Knowledge is power, after all.
