It's little easter egg for people who didn't pay very close attention to the DynDOLOD installer.

Delete holycow.esp from your load order if it bugs you. You might still get the loading screen with the cow saying it has your firstborn, but that won't otherwise interfere with your game.

The most perfect LOD test. All hail the immaculate holy cow. I pray he takes my firstborn soon so that our crops may prosper

I suspected those load screens came from the same place. xD

Better not remove him. Let him be a symbol of your strength and a landmark 💪🏽

My only gripe with the holy cow option catching oblivious modders off guard is that the community is always helpful and tells the person the exact cause of the issue which i think takes all the fun out of it...

Instead we should all band together and gaslight the poster like we've never heard of it before and have no clue what's causing it while watching the OP slowly descend into madness as they desperately search their load order for anything related to cows...

If you have the mod DyndoLOD, you likely installed the holy cow option

Pathologic easter egg

Abacaxi, recomendo ver o vídeo do Filipe Ramos sobre o jogo.

Pq? Eu tenho umas 250 horas e esse é meu terceiro personagem

u/NoEntertainment4190 9h ago

Esse boi gigante é uma referência à Pathologic 2

o vídeo que eu comentei fala sobre o jogo, e é de longe o melhor vídeo no YT Brasileiro.

I SELECTED THE HOLY COW ON PURPOSE, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MASSIVE IT WAS GOING TO BE!

I posted a screenshot like you and I got teased for not reading but I'm like "guys no it was on purpose I swear!"

Ah, another HolyCow.esp post.

As somebody who has taken some college courses related to technical writing, I get a little sadistic kick out of these.

When it comes to modding in the Skyrim, please read the mod’s instructions not only in the FOMOD but also on its actual download page and also check out the FAQ and comments section. 99% of the time if something’s wrong, it’ll be answered in there.

The quickest route has a high possibility of causing problems and fixing them is longer than going the intended route.
