conulyAnd just told us that they "Aren't really into exploring".
I... I just don't even know.
Speaking of BotW, Jenn encountered a creepy glitch while fighting a Guardian at night. In this particular area you have a Guardian and you also have Bokoblins on horses shooting shock arrows at you, which is just unfair no matter how you look at it. And as it was night, Stal Bokoblins had emerged. Jenn had stasised the Bokos off their horses. Now, because Stal Bokoblins sometimes ride Stal Horses, it seems that they're programmed, like their not-undead counterparts, to mount horses when in battle if horses happen to be nearby. However, because they usually aren't in a position to mount a live horse, their programming doesn't give them anything to do once they're up there. On a Stal Horse they'd ride around being a nuisance, but on a regular horse they just... sit there. And stare at you.
It's very creepy, but it at least kept the darn thing out of her way while she chopped off the Guardian's legs. The only thing that could've made the fight more tedious would be a random Yiga person suddenly teleporting in. Oh wait....
