Awesome bug with centurion archers

Post by Iaius Amaius Heron »

Just found this out and I laughed until I cried.

Walk up really close to a centurion archer. Wait until he's aiming his dart-shooter at you. Open up the menu, click on the dart. You have stolen the dart right from his gun-arm, and now the poor projectile robot is stuck in the "aim at you" state forever and ever!

Problem is, if you save, it'll throw up an error. If you let it save, and then load the game, it'll crash.

I'm sure if you kill the guy, then save, everything will be fine. But I haven't tested this.

Edit: found that if you try to take it at the exact moment the archer fires, the game crashes. Also, it crashed when I tried to kill it after taking the dart.

Still funny. :mrgreen:

Edit again: a screenie to show you exactly what I mean. Pick that up, and the game goes nuts.
If they weren't nords, but instead dunmer or redguards, nobody would call them "racist".

Wow, definitely a funny glitch! Unfortunately, I find the screenshot to be nearly useless as I can't see anything in it at all except the text box. If you can get a better screenshot of it, I'd love to see it. Thanks for sharing this anyway tho :)
If I knew ahead of time where and when I would need to physically defend myself or others, I would simply avoid that time and place...but I don't...hence CPL...

I clipped out everything but the cursor about to click on the dart. I recommend upping the brightness of your monitor. :)
