Buckets on heads!

I LOL'd and am still cleaning the coffee off my keyboard after reading this one. Best use of gaming physics and line of sight ever!

Anyone else find any cool tricks in Skyrim?

 

[Qitz]

Alright now THAT is a game mechanic.

This is completely AMAZING. This brings me sheer joy. And it proves a point about why Bethesda totally needs to figure out the fact that people move.

 

[Blunderboy]

That is the best thing I have ever seen.

Was already posted somewhere x3

...There are no words to describe how hard every aspect of my existence is laughing right now. A bucket on the head...So simple. So devious. So mind boggling silly.

This has made my week; I think I'll be smiling for a good long time thanks to this.

I must buy this game quick...

I thought the main reason to buy it was because everyone else is?

OTAAFIFR: that is a pretty neat trick, wonder how long it will take before some moron tries it in.real life.......and then gets hurled down a flight of stairs.

I give it a week. Check YouTube regularly, it'll be there.

And here I thought fighting dragons was the best part of this game. This just pushes it over the top. I am going to buy this as soon as possible.

 

[Sonicron]

Ha! So elegant in its simplicity... made my day.

I'll put this down in the 'pro' column for Skyrim. Now to wait for reports on engine stability and general bugginess...

 

[Zhukov]

That was indeed hilarious.

I wonder if the buckets stay on while they're walking around. You could have a whole village of them.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

By god i hope they keep this in the game.
I mean, they keep all that other crap in like game-breaking bugs, let us have this!

 

[Strain42]

What is it with Bethesda and having awesome bucket related options?

I'm not complaining or anything, but it makes me laugh.

Like how in New Vegas you could put stuff in a bucket, carry it outside and pick it up without it counting as stealing.

 

[Kaltazraza]

Godlike awesome!
Now I would actually want this game.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

Stunning, simply stunning (in a good, hilarious, way). This makes me want to forgo picking sneak as a major skill now, considering I can just put the buckets on their heads and they'll be none the wiser.

Mine has extremely distorted audio, and crashed this morning when I tried to steal a carrot.

Is that good enough for you?

Ahhh.... I wonder if Bethesda will patch with a basic character script of people removing or whether they'll chuckle and let it go?
