ANNOY AN ENTIRE VILLAGE
Speaking of killing chickens. The first thing most gamers dead upon first reaching Riverrun in Skyrim back in 2011 was spot a chicken ambling down the very road that leads into the heart of the little village. And, of course, being gamers, we whacked that chicken with whatever shitty weapon was in our hands at that time. Little did we know that killing a chicken is one of the worst things anyone can do in the land of Skyrim. It’s a cardinal sin, a heinous act that must be met with swift and merciless justice. Rumour has it that the people of Skyrim turned on the Empire because it banned the worship of chickens. The entire town will be up in arms immediately, and those guards? They will give chase, hunting you down with the dogged intensity of a hundred Terminators. A rule of thumb while playing Skyrim- never, ever, ever harm a chicken. You want to murder the Jarl of Solitude? Go right ahead and do it. Want to kill the Emperor of Cyrodiil? Pshh, that’s like a Tuesday for the people of Skyrim. But if, by mistake, you harm a chicken, you might as well just quit then and there and start a new save.
