This is the story of how I became a kaiju. I was playing Elder Scrolls Online the other day, doing the Orcrest instance on my new necro tank along with my wife’s healer. Everything was fine, until, at one point, I noticed that I wasn’t getting buffs correctly. Then I tried to use the Bone Goliath ultimate, which normally makes you turn into a giant armored skeleton. Except, because I wasn’t receiving buffs, I didn’t get the skeleton armor. I just got bigger.

At first it was one of those “Haha, I’m taller than this high elf” things. Surely I’ll go back to normal size after the normal time the buff lasts, right? But then I didn’t. And then, I used Bone Goliath again. And I grew even larger.

…and larger…

I was now approaching Godzilla-level proportions. At this point it was becoming hard to do combat.

So I switched to first person, where I rained down spells on the ants below me.

I became so big that, even zoomed all the way out, my head took up the whole screen.

I used it one last time. At this point it was impossible to do much of anything.

Again, this is zoomed all the way out.

Then I remembered that the inventory screen gives you a zoomed out view of your character (even with the UI turned off).

It turns out it zooms in slowly when you close the inventory screen, which gave me some of the best shots. Here’s the whole instance!

Here are a few screenshots from my wife’s perspective as well:

Here she is inside my foot.

My running animation was messed up too; it was like I was running in place.

So that’s the day I became a kaiju. This is, without a doubt, the best bug I have ever experienced in a video game. Has anyone else ever seen anything like this?
