Barrel-Aided Crime Spree Ravages Skyrim

Forget stealth and cunning. All the cool kids are straight jackin’ fools with the aid of wicker baskets.

Done? Good. So, what would you like to call that? A bug? A feature? The most brilliant advancement in gaming realism since Mario started exploring the third dimension?

Hyperbole aside, I’m honestly a bit baffled by this. I don’t know whether to laugh at the silly virtual people and their loss of material goods or praise Bethesda for taking the time to code a world where cartoon logic is totally and completely viable.

This also raises a number of important questions. Can I tie a sword into a bow? Can dragons change signs to read “Dovahkiin Season?” What happens if I paint a tunnel on the side of a mountain?
