“There is a Star Wars timeline where the empire is run by a guy named Kyle” To be fair in the main timeline it’s run by a guy named Sheeve

[@Gatorade69]

Somehow Sheeve has returned.

[@consolescrub4031]

If Vader had completed his betrayal it would have been run by a guy named Annie and there was definitely a period where the First Order was run by a guy named Ben. I'm not even going to try spell Thrawn's many names but I think I'd take Emperor Kyle over that.

[@donovanfaust3227]

Ah yes because Sheeve is a normal sounding name like Kyle. /s

What is a king to a God? What is a God to a Daedric Prince? Lol 😅

[@AbominationFilmsNY]

The worst thing in Skyrim is when you are for example fighting a dragon and the chicken gets in the path of an arrow. Or if not the chicken then a horse or random guard that’s also fighting the dragon. It becomes a game of “what the hell guys stop swinging at me the giant firebreathing winged hellbeast is right over there!!!!!”

[@insaincaldo]

The best chaos I've lived through, was on a trip to Rorikstead going for a near dragon barrow. There was an enemy warcamp in the fiends during a part of civil war, I was attacked by a pack of wolfs and thought fun lets kite them back to the soldiers. Well vampires also attacked, then the dragon spotted what was going on.

[@GhengisJohn]

You have no idea how sweet and affectionate that chicken was. In an era with no internet it's antics endeared it to that town like you wouldn't believe.

[@NorseGraphic]

Town chicken jester?

[@Irisverse]

You know how there are a bunch of towns across rural USA that don't really have anything interesting going on so they try and come up with some sort of attraction to put them on the map, like the world's biggest ball of twine or a chicken that can supposedly tell the future? Well, I think that's what the Riverwood chicken was. That was their prophetic chicken, the only thing that gave that village a sense of identity, and you just killed it to satisfy a passing violent urge. You deserve everything you got.

[@LadyOnikara]

Am I the only fruitcake who didn't even try to kill that damn chicken?

[@Stratelier]

The worst part about killing that chicken in Riverwood is that, at this point in the game there are NO guards stationed in Riverwood to actually arrest you, so you don't get the option to simply pay off your bounty and resolve the hostilities. You either die, kill a bunch of potentially important NPCs, or have to skip town for a bit (and maybe pay off your bounty in Whiterun proper).

[@insaincaldo]

And if you fight you will have a kill on sight bounty, once you hit Whiterun. With the surrender mechanic being iffy at best, you might not have a chance to talk yourself out of that one. Better flee to the next Hold and spend some time avoiding the center of the map. Woopsies

[@joshuahadams]

@@insaincaldoand avoid anything related to the main quest or civil war, which both have major sequences in Whiterun proper and talking with its government.

[@Wifenis]

That chicken and the ensuing hostility is why I've never played more than 30 minutes of Skyrim. Legit made me quit the game to die that early to something I had no way to predict would be that big a deal.

[@Stratelier]

@@Wifenis Honestly, Skyrim's crime sytem is something most players learn the hard way (e.g. "why is EVERYONE suddenly attacking me?") Skyrim is a perfect example where just because you HAVE the option to do something, doesn't mean it's a good idea -- case in point: a "Take/Steal" prompt pops up for literally every item within grabbing range, and if you're not paying attention to it, it can be easy to accidentally "take" (steal) the wrong item, getting NPCs mad at you and causing a scene.

[@Wifenis]

@@Stratelier Sure, but I also hadn't saved at all yet (does the game have save points? I forget why I hadn't), so I would have had to start over completely, including character creation. I just didn't care enough about the game yet to put in that kind of effort, and the entire town trying to murder me because I killed a chicken was really immersion breaking for what was supposed to be an RPG. It just completely turned me off to the game instead as the punishment was too harsh for the crime, both in game and out.

"I can remember that, but not my Dad's birthday." is the most relatable thing Jane has ever said

My Skyrim fuckup wasn't the chicken (I apparently resisted and figured I could get food at the inn like a normal person).

the fact that one action in that star wars game puts you straight to the bad/evil end reminds me of infamous 1. you can do all the good karma and not killing civilians and everything, but if you keep the power to yourself near the end of the game, you are locked to the evil end, where Cole has the dark red powers.

[@Joe90h]

The ending of Fable 3 fills your good or bad karma one way or the other regardless of where it was, so my completely morally grey chracter who used their wealth to buy the majority of the 'nice' options when you take over as monarch (Except I replaced the orphanage with a brothel because orphans are expensive and Stephen Fry was very convincing) grew angel wings and became a bastion of all that is good despite all the murders and land grabbing.

3. AKA Returner Ocelot.

There's also "Till Death Do Us Part" in Hitman: Blood Money. The game tells you right at the start of that level that the bride is off limits, probably because she ordered the hit in the first place.

“There is a Star Wars timeline where the empire is run by a guy named Kyle” An impossible timeline, as Emperor Kyle's father would undoubtedly be named Chad.

That Amazon line was savage! 😂

Jane not knowing her dad's birthday is so relatable. My grandmother passed in 2020 and I still have no idea when her birthday is...maybe around May? I think?

[@CelticVictory]

Are we sure becoming the emperor is the bad ending? And the villagers' reaction to killing their personal property is understandable.

Absolutely loved the Amazon Joke

The fact that Campbell knew Ocelot was supposed to live raises questions

I figured the Oblivion one would've been Lucien Lachance for the *brief* period in which he's killable right after you meet him.

I remember in Hitman Codename 47 there was the brother of the U’Wa tribe’s chief in the first Colombia level While blindly answering from the storm of bullets coming from the game’s fog from the soldiers keeping him hostage on the bridge, I remember accidentally getting him and having to restart the level way too many times

The best part about Sheogorath killing you is that even the god mode console command won't save you. You sir, are dead. XD

[@burnslee1164]

16:17 We all did it. Every last one of us. I did it because in Kingdom of Alimar: Reckoning, there was a kill count for how many chickens you killed.

Ocelot can do whatever he wants... he trained DD so all will always be forgiven

[@TheValiantBob]

In Majora's Mask, it is possible to kill the thief Sakon. On the first night when he robs the old lady of her bomb bag, normally you stop him by hitting him with your sword, causing him to drop the goods and run away. But if you instead shoot the bag full of bombs with an arrow, it explodes, killing him. Which is the worst possible outcome because it not only fails Kafei's questline because he can't track Sakon back to his lair, but also the old lady won't give you the bomb mask for helping her and you won't get the bigger bomb bag available for sale at the bomb shop since. You know. You blew it up. Good job, hero.

[@professorhaystacks6606]

It's technically just barely possible to get back to the light side after killing Weegee. I've done it before. I can't remember why.

[@woodysmith2681]

Ah, Bethesda NPCs: annoyingly unkillable or addicted to dodging in front of active combat.

[@joshuahadams]

That or that slide Skyrim’s NPCs do immediately before your arrow would hit.

Extreme Dodgeball.

That Jedi scene reminds me of a heartbreaking moment in SOMA. IYKYK

[@willstrong6409]

In Skyrim, if you cast Fury on the chicken, the town will absolutely flip out and *everyone* in town will converge on it to make sure it dies immediately and with extreme prejudice. It makes me wonder what sort of massacre was caused by a chicken that the reaction is faster and far more murderous than a dragon attacking.

[@JoshTigerheart]

The Riverwood Chicken is perfectly safe to kill. Just wait until night when nobody's around to witness you do it!

[@kingjamestres]

In all my years of playing Skyrim I can't believe I'd never killed the chicken. I've killed everyone in that town multiple times... but never the chicken.

[@pacboy7673]

Fun Fact: You can actually find Leofrith again if you choose to spare him, you can even speak with him

I accidentally killed the stupid chicken in Riverwood while fighting a dragon and the town turned on me

That more merchant music man. That that original merchant music.

Any fan of the Legend of Zelda knows NOT to attack chickens, so when we encountered them in Skyrim, we instantly suffered PTSD from out curiousity.

The dragon in Skyrim: “squints after landing, is that the Dragonborn? I must free them so that they can kill me and my kin later” 😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣🤣

I think you'll find that the greatest question that Resident Evil 4s Merchant raises is: What're ya buyin'?

Am I the only person who literally never even thought about attacking the chicken?

Not sure if Oersted/Odio counts from Live A Live (as you play as him at one point) but if you kill him instead of sparing him, you lock yourself out of the best possible ending
