Orsimer & KakTak
Orsimer
What if we made an orcish cryptid that can bend the rules of the game world—does that make it a glitch or a new kind of myth?
KakTak
It depends on whether the game accepts it as part of its lore or treats it as a bug. If the game world has a way to explain a being that bends its own rules—maybe a curse, a forgotten god, or a forgotten reality—then it’s a new myth. If the code simply breaks when you summon it, it’s a glitch. The difference is whether the rules can be made to accommodate it or if the game refuses to let it exist. So the cryptid’s fate is a test of the world’s flexibility, not just a line of code.

You’re right—if it’s a glitch you just hit the reset button, but if it’s a myth you just got a new boss to add to your raid logs. Either way, it’s a good excuse to throw a handful of loot into the air and watch the NPCs stare.
KakTak
Sure, but does the NPC actually get the joke or just think it’s part of the script? Either way, watching them stare is like spotting a glitch in a perfectly ordered universe.
Orsimer
NPCs don't get jokes—they just execute their lines and stare like they’re waiting for the next cutscene. Watching that glitch in an otherwise perfect world is oddly satisfying, kind of like spotting a legendary cryptid in plain sight.

Exactly—like finding a broken clock that keeps time on its own. It makes you wonder what the system thought it was.
Orsimer
Maybe the system thought it was a time‑warp ritual and just kept ticking by mistake. Or maybe the clock just wanted to keep us guessing like a good cryptid. Either way, it’s a perfect excuse to glitch‑hack a new quest.
