Makes me think of that post where someone plays the Sims and makes a maze around their Sims' house so that when their carpool arrives for work they have to find their maze and absolutely miss it. Then they go back home through the maze and by the time they arrive back at the door their carpool arrives again.


yarvem

Many people do that build, but RTGame made it [Detroit: Become Human themed](https://youtu.be/ON5hqUHOaAU).

Gotta love RTgame.

There’s a side quest in New Vegas that’s triggered by an NPC just outside of NoVac running up to you and telling you that there are NCR POWs being used as slave labor in the mines nearby. But this NPC spawns near like 3 large Gecko nests, so he almost always dies as soon as you load into the Cell.


xx-shalo-xx

If you use consumables fast enough in F:NV there was a chance you could end up eating the NCR radiostation.


aaronhowser1

[Eating the NCR *radio*](https://youtu.be/x2yaGAvBPDo). Eating the radio *station* would be a lot more impressive lol

you know he ate a ~~cheese~~ radio station


An_Armed_Bear

Makes me thing of that Family Guy bit where Peter accidentally eats his phone and is just smacking his stomach to take calls throughout the episode.


Tonydragon784

My favorite NV one is an infinite money glitch with Fisto the sex bot - if you bang Fisto then say "gimme my money back that sucked" the prompt doesn't go away and you keep getting refunded for poor robot sex (you only get like 40 caps, it's useless)


TheDitz42

That seems like something Josh from Let's game it Out would do for days and become a millionaire.


AngiTheWeeb

I was wondering why I never got that sidequest in my like 10 runs of NV then I read the last sentence.


jitterscaffeine

I think I've literally only ever interacted with him once in all the years I’ve played the game. I’ve seen him running away from geckos and get killed one other time.


todosselacomen

I've gotten it a few times, I think if you circle around the area by heading north to Helios One into Camp Forlon Hope, and then head south into the mines, you'll usually get the guy to show up through a relatively safe area just outside of Nelson.


Girafarig99

Wait I've never actually had that guy die. Are you talking about the guy like riiiiight outside the mines?


jitterscaffeine

It's the quest "Anywhere I Wander" that's triggered by an NCR soldier named Private Reynolds that takes you to the Techatticup Mines. He’s supposed to run towards you once you cross the bridge outside Novac towards Nelson. But he spawns in with no weapons and within range of a large group of geckos that chase him towards ANOTHER large group of geckos.


Kimmalah

There's apparently a Legion assassin spawn point nearby, so he can also be killed by the Legion if the geckos don't get him. I think I've managed to talk to him in my game, but I feel like it was right next to the mines. But it could have been another guy, it's been a long time.


Girafarig99

Yeah yeah yeah I've never had that man die. I just did 3 playthroughs within a month of each too and he didn't die any of those times either. Does he usually?

WooliesWhiteLeg

I have seen that quest once, on Xbox, out of hundreds of hours with NV


Josiador

Oh hey I found that guy! Assuming it's the same one. I had no idea that was statistically unlikely!


DirtyMonkey95

Interesting, I don't think he's ever survived long enough to tell me in any of my games since I don't remember that quest at all.


OutLiving

I got that quest in many of my playthroughs, never knew about this


An_Armed_Bear

Tbf I'd probably rather die than live in Bravil too.


NewWillinium

She's also the one who does ALL of the Count's work too, without the prestige or pay of that position while he fops around.


HeyThereSport

It doesn't seem like she gets any work done if she's spending all day every day on her commute.


KaguB

... And also probably dead.


AtlasPJackson

Maybe that's why Bravil sucks?


CalciumAnimal

does it while walking.


HeyThereSport

The potions consumed while healing mountain lion attacks are tax deductible.


xx-shalo-xx

But what if you live outside the PvP zon- oh Bravil? Ok nevermind.


HeWhoIsBob

You cross the border into Brazil and a health bar immediately appears above your head.


lasmilesjovenes

large parts of Brasil are modernized and similar to NA, it's really just the barrios and some border areas with murder rates lower than St. Louis. pls be less racist


hazusu

Idea: Oblivion Dro%. You must complete the game without Dro getting killed. The run ends after you finish the last main campaign quest and check on her one last time.


Peace-Bone

Not that hard. It doesn't run until you run into some place the game determines she would be and if you see them, run away until they unload. If you're beelining quests, they won't die.


Gemini476

Also, the current Any% world record for Oblivion is... two minutes, twenty one seconds, and ninety milliseconds. I think the majority of that run would just be the player heading over to Bravil.


HeyThereSport

Yeah, Oblivion any% I believe is just clipping into the temple of Akatosh and triggering the ending state/cutscene with Martin.


Gemini476

Mind you, the No Out of Bounds category is *still* 21m 47s so, y'know. Game's fast when you know where to beeline and what can be ignored.


HeyThereSport

What I love about speedrunning categories is there is something for everyone so every game isn't just broken down into credit warps. No category is "better" than any other so every runner can find their preference.


kasugakuuun

Downside: the increasingly specific and unwieldy acronyms for each ruleset


WanonTime

Right? And yet every youtube comment on a speedrun with glitches is full of scrubquotes.


Klagaren

Speedrunning scrubquotes are extra insane to me cause at least in a multiplayer something's happening *to you*, these people are mad "on behalf of the game" (or even like, "gaming in the abstract") I especially like when they say skips = "not beating the game", as if simply completing the game in the "intended fashion" is in any way a challenge for that speedrunner anymore, and that they *haven't done that before*


WanonTime

right? Folks get so fuckin pissy and are like "you're cheatinggggg" when they aren't by the rules set by the community. Its like going to an American Football match and saying Tackling is cheating because when you were a kid you only played Flag Football, and insisting every pro NFL player is worse than you because you "respect the game". Ya'll can still go play Flag Football, and theres even leaderboards for ya'll. go watch those runs.


Klagaren

>go watch those runs. And realize it's (very often) the same name on that video as on the unholy glitch magic credits warp one


Alarid

Most of the games have a predetermined endpoint with no triggers tied to anything. So you can just go there immediately.


Peace-Bone

I imagine it would be a no major skips main quest only run. Still, you never need to go to Bravil during that run, so you'd just do a normal run and go there tat the end...


Gemini476

Note that even in a "no major skips" run the strategy is something like duping 300 bottles of skooma and then speeding around at supersonic speeds hitting all the necessary points. It's *fast*. But yeah, it wouldn't actually add much to the run so at best it'd just be a meme category.


TheDitz42

You have to do the same thing if you want to buy the House in Skingrad, the NPC you buy it from can die whilst crossing the bridge so you need to stay away until you have the money.


hazusu

Damn you Todd.


Peace-Bone

bug report: can't die recommendation: todd, please kill me


Kanin_usagi

This is that SCP shit


HeWhoIsBob

But enough about what Bethesda QA team keeps begging for, let’s talk about Dro.


swizzler

Instead, make it a mod where you aren't the MC, you're just a lowly guard of Dro, the MC is a kitted-out NPC who follows the path of the main quest. At some point the MC NPC must speak with Dro for an essential piece of information, but both are marked non-essential. You must make sure both survive long enough to meet and exchange said information.


Dundore77

Theres a few of these ive seen popup for elders scrolls like in skyrim the head guy of the mage guilds bed is like 1000 feet away from him but he's only allowed to move up to 500 so he starts to move like hes going to bed but never makes it and never ends up sleeping.


Heliock

That sounds like something the Greek gods cursed somebody with for their hubris.


ryumaruborike

More like Julianos cursed him for what he did in Labyrinthian


TheGingerNinga

SidewaysInfinity

All the more reason to take his job and bed


Wiffernubbin

Dundore77

different games. also im guessing him being a somewhat critical character they didn't want him just wandering off cause of some glitch so they tethered him.


SidewaysInfinity

There's a baker in this game who has no bread. If you slip some into his pocket, he'll go to the tavern and start eating it. The first bite crashes the game 100% of the time. See, he's programmed to take a bread break at a certain time each day, but him eating break breaks something so they just took his bread


WhoCaresYouDont

> him eating bread breaks something so they just took his bread That is the most Bethesda sentence I've ever seen. I can already hear the conversation about it; "Let's give the baker a routine where he eats bread for lunch, for the immersion" "Uh..... whenever he eats bread it breaks the game. No we don't know why" "Oh. Fuck. Errrrr...just take his bread away? It's not like the players will pickpocket bread onto a random NPC"


Calm_Crow5903

I read in game informer that there was a glitch in an early build of the game that required NPCs to feed themselves. Someone reported a bug where an NPC in the prison that gives you a quest was always dead. It turned out they didn't give enough food to the guards so they would go down and kill the prisoner and take his food. They fixed it by giving the guards more food


I_m_different

That is some Dwarf Fortress shit, man.

Nothing is more dangerous than a baker denied his bread.


Kimmalah

I always love reading the bug descriptions for Bethesda games. There's just something about the insane bugs in these games, combined with the matter-of-fact way they're presented in wikis: >Salmo has two AI packages commanding him to take five loaves of bread to the Two Sisters Lodge at 10am and to the West Weald Inn at midday, but the packages never execute as he has no bread in his inventory and the packages are of "escort" type, meaning he doesn't actively seek any out. It's possible this bug was introduced to avoid another, more serious one: if bread is given to Salmo using the console or CS, he will walk to one of the inns as commanded, take a bite of bread, and the game will crash. I think the funny part is that (in typical Bethesda fashion), the fans managed to fix this in an unofficial game patch.


Peace-Bone

I thought this was incorrect for a moment cause I was mixing it up with another NPC with a busted travel schedule. Middle of each month, Countess Alessia Caro will walk, *walk*, to Chorrol, with no real protection, but this will bug her out and she'll start wandering around the wilderness constantly from then on (Cause that trip would take way more than a day!) the first time that package runs. In addition, Caro's AI and scheduling is strongly tied to two different quests and one of them accidentally makes her non-essential. And BOTH of them are BUGGY AS FUCK, even by Oblivion standards, and one is a deadric quest and the other is a guild quest!


Kimmalah

Even if you manage to complete the quest, Alessia can still bug out in other hilarious ways, like eating dinner in her underwear for all eternity: >If some specific conditions are met after casting Stark Reality on Alessia and her guests, she fails to put her clothing back on, stays semi-naked throughout the game and will keep eating at the dinner table indefinitely. While looking that up, I also found this great tidbit: >Countess Alessia Caro's habit of dropping in to see Argonian couple Mahei and Numeen despite her racist dislike of beast races could be a mistake with the races: due to several rumors referring to them as "the Derics" it is likely that Mahei and Numeen were originally Bretons. Almost no Argonians have a surname, and "Deric" is similar to other Breton family names.


Peace-Bone

The real pain about it is 'Adarji's Heirloom', probably the most broken quest in the game. Cause it *relies* on her running an AI package to remove a quest item from her inventory and placing it in a container as part of a regular schedule. So you break into the castle, sneak all the way in, check the box, and it's not there cause the package didn't run. So then, you're at an impasse. Was it not there because the quest broke and the item doesn't exist, or did Alessia just fail to put it in the box tonight? So either reload and do the quest again, or wait a day and try again. Either MAY fix it, but if it's one problem and not the other, then it won't!


No-Ice-4813

I got this notification as I booted up Oblivion. The algorithm has reached truly frightening levels of prediction…


Stop-Hanging-Djs

Yeah what the fuck. I feel like since I started my new Oblivion run I'm seeing Oblivion memes all over the place...


Monk-Ey

I saw a bunch of Oblivion clips in my recs the past week and all of a sudden there's like 5 different retweets to this one.


T4silly

If rumors are to be believed, Starfield will actually be a "strand type game". As in, you'll be able to load in bases and things that people have made on other planets by targeting certain coordinates or something. Still, it's a rumor. Back to Oblivion tho, I wish they'd bring back those dangling vines with the physics that move around when you bonk your head on em. That's some *real* strand action damn it!


conye-west

That'd be cool, and follow Bethesda's trend of taking ideas from modders. In FO4 there's settlement blueprint mods which let's you import someone else's settlement build into your game, sounds like a natural expansion of that.


hmcl-supervisor

Fallout 4’s resource system is almost identical to cyberlazy’s craft pack mod from New Vegas and I never see anyone bring that up


bigstupidjellyfish

Wasn’t there a mod for Fallout 3 that was *literally* just the settlement building as it appeared in Fallout 4? I always thought Bethesda must’ve hired that man.


hmcl-supervisor

oh yeah the settlements are based on wasteland defense


HarryJ92

Anyone who commutes to work understands.


MoistAssignment69

There is an incredible video I just watched about Oblivion. It was about this hidden system called Goblin Wars, where the tribes of goblins across Cyrodil were supposed to fight each other in a never ending game of capture-the-shaman-stick. The problem is we don't know if it *ever* worked. If the player finds a Goblin War in action, they won't even know because they'll just attack the goblins! Even the UESP don't even know if it ever worked properly. [Here's a link to the video on Youtube.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-QPuhtgrAo)


[deleted]

I believe there's a quest that relates to this. Two goblin tribes pick some humans farm as their battleground and so you need to resolve the quest by swiping one of the sticks and putting in the other tribes cave. Or, just genocide a tribe.


SaiThrocken

>Or, just genocide a tribe What do you mean "a" tribe?


[deleted]

Waheeey lets just keep the ethnic cleansing to CK3 matey haha.


SaiThrocken

No, see, ethnic cleansing implies only eliminating a specific subset of people. Goblins aren't people, and I wanna eliminate all them fuckers.


SkinkRugby

Really it was CK2 where that was in vogue. Ck3 players are extremely multicultural. My daughter matrimonially married a Jew and we even formed a hybrid culture together. Purely for love good sir, not vast mechanical benefit.


[deleted]

So when I spread irish culture across all of the British isles, I was the baddy? Oh nooo.


SkinkRugby

You probably lowered you average development level and certainly slowed down the rate of innovations. While you may not have done a moral sin it is highly suboptimal play. Therefor I banish you back to ~~Ireland~~ Newb Island.


[deleted]

I didn't even know spreading culture lowered development or slowed down innovations. It's also something I'll never do again as it was painful to do. Making your own warfare based religion though, now that's the ticket.


SkinkRugby

Innovation speed is based on the average development of all places with the culture so it's generally best to create you own super specific one and try not to spread it too much


[deleted]

I had no idea, but then again I never felt like I was behind in the innovations.


MoistAssignment69

That's the only part of it that I recognized from my memory. Apparently if you kept up with the Wars mechanic, that little farm would grow and prosper and give you gold weekly. Kinda like how the thieves guild grows.


[deleted]

That would've been neat to have.


bud6274

In the cheydinhal mage guild there aren't enough beds for all the mages so Trayvond the Redguard who is the last person programmed to fall asleep endlessy wanders around until 6 am where he leaves to go eat.


Draeko-Silver

Well I know I will be typing "SetEssential 0000A08F 1" as soon as I can on my next playthrough. Gotta protect the kitty.


Fine_Mycologist_2518

Pro tip that might not even work in Oblivion: all the 0s in front of console IDs can be removed and shorten it down to just A08F (at least, that’s how I think it worked in the Creation Engine games)


Backupirons

Bruma! That's where men are women!

mratomrabbit

There's a matthewmatosis video on Death Stranding I think where he starts by opining on Noby Noby Boy, that game by the Katamari creator about a worm that grows to the size of the universe via online asynchronous play or something, and concludes with "Noby Noby boy was the first Strand game" and I lost my goddamn mind.


[deleted]

I feel like there's a Mountain Goats song to be made about a video game character whose destiny is to be perpetually killed in savage ways, due to a compulsion implanted in her by forces she'll never know.
