Summary

Killing chickens is an RPG rite of passage. Have you really played Skyrim if you haven't slaughtered Riverwood?
But in Avowed, a missclick won't turn an entire town against you. Chickens cannot be harmed whatsoever.
In fact, even the villagers are immune.

When I docked at Claviger's Landing, I immediately walked over to the local farm and started swinging my sword at the chickens. It's practically a rite of passage in Skyrim to slaughter everyone in Riverwood after accidentally killing one of their fowl. But don't worry, a missclick in Avowed won't 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:turn Hadvar's entire f♏amily against you.

I tried to roast them alive, zap them with magic, and even shoot them with my flintlock. Nada. The same goes for every other farm animal, even the weird bird cows (not to be confused with the real-life giant cowbird). You also can't kill random villagers or essential NPCs. Everyone in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Living Lands is... well, living. Forever, apparently.

And when I say that, I don't mean they have infinite health. Attacking thꦗem does nothing. It🐬's not like Skyrim where they drop to one knee, mutter insults, grunt a bit, and get back up for round 200. They can't be attacked to begin with. Maybe it's a good thing we can't butcher their livestock, eh?

Chickens Are A Gaming Staple

Fable player kicking a chicken in the air.

Having everyone from Rorikstead to Whiterun descend on you for hurting a chicken in Riverwood has become a huge meme in the Skyrim community, but it's far from the only RPG to torture these poor critters. Killing chickens (or Cucco) in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda famously turns the entire flock against you, there's a robo-chicken boss fight in Earth﷽worm Jim (a more justifiable case of chick culling), and in Fable, there's even an entire co🍬mpetition🧸 dedicated to kicking chickens.

But not every game punishes you for slaughtering fowl. In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red Dead Redemption, you can knock them out or hunt them for feathers. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Minecraft lets you breed them and cook them alive in a cramped, Redstone box, which the movie even parodies. And in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Outer Worlds (alsꦅo developed by Obsidian), killing chickens has no repercussions whatsoever. The precious little wildlife you find in its dystopian sci-fi settlements are free for the taking.
