Yeah yeah, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a huge world and amazing soundtrack blah blah game of the year. That said, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game without a few little...quirks. Someone's found a hilarious way to avoid detection around NPCs. It's so dumb, in fact, that it would have been disappointing if it didn't work.

Behold: The power of the mighty bucket! Watch the short clip below for what's bound to be the dumbest/best thing you'll see all day.

Check out the associated videos for a look at how players can expand their criminal activities to even include assassination. You know what they say about people with kettles on their heads being poor witnesses, right?

It's always amazing to see how players find ways to game the system. Here's hoping more inspired stupidity is on the way.
