It would be similar to Assassin's Creed II and later then, when you can get pick pocketed and then you have to chase the guy all over hell until you catch him.that would piss me off if I lost items to a pickpocket, but I would still think it was awesome and then hunt him down.
It should be noted that the Skyrim DLC's are expected to be pretty big so you may have plenty more play on this gamehttp://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-29-skyrim-dlc-rarer-but-more-substantial
This idea is consistent with what they did with Oblivion; as Shivering Isles was a pretty big expansion.Knights of the Nine was smaller, but still fun.
I was going to try and buy Morrowind online but, from what I've read from other users/comments, it wouldnt be worth it with the long delays in loading screens and with how buggy it was sans mod (XBOX user).
I was in Riften when I ran into a thief trying to break in to someone's house at night. I walked past the guy and it scared him and he started to walk away when he noticed me.It would be similar to Assassin's Creed II and later then, when you can get pick pocketed and then you have to chase the guy all over hell until you catch him.
Otar was the first one I found and it's e one I've kept wearing. I enhanced it to Legendary and with the 30% resistance to frost, fire and shock, it seems like its been ages since any foe really did much damage to me.'Matthias said:
And just where can this be found?
Could just adjust item's weight so it is an overall encumbrance. Not sure if I'm a huge fan personally of doing that, though. If you can only manage to haul one suit of armor out of a dungeon, it would annoy me more than it would add anything.
Not sure if NPCs can gain backstab damage or not. Breaking and entering could be done with a script... there's already some of that which happens in Riften now.
Most of those are doable in some fashion (though not really where I'd be aiming for). The quest icon removal I would be surprised if there isn't a mod out already for it. I think I might have seen something in the .ini files for turning off the sneak icon as well. Or barring that, you could probably just get the file for the normal icon, and save it overtop of the sneak one.The hearing thing might be a little tougher. Though I was under the impression if you can hear a wolf howling you can probably already see the red dot on your compass. Or soon after, anyway. It might take a lot of work to add something new like that. Probably not in the list of stuff I'd be focused on again, but interesting thought.
New quests, editing quests, etc, is definitely possible. Though you'd have to record your own dialogue for them and it wouldn't match the voices being used if you want it to be audio as well. It could just be text dialogue though. One thing I have had in mind since Oblivion would be a mod that takes the normal quests and changes them just enough that it makes it feel like a new game. Maybe it randomizes who gives you the quest, so you actually have to go explore to find them and can't just head straight to Person X to start up a quest with a great item. Maybe randomize some of the rewards you get, or have different versions of quests, sending you to other locations, etc. That will be a lot of work though.
I think magic damage is fine with the stagger perk there, but I agree about scaling back somehow the top damage. The way to get rid of the free magic would just be lower the maximum enchantment you can get with Fortify <magic skill>.
Potions I know can be done, Oscuro changed the limit in Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, though I will have to hunt to see what controls it, whether it's a script or an effect or what.For money, one thing that I want to avoid is just taking cash away for nothing. I'd rather have something where you want to spend the money. Maybe charge for existing services (costs you to use the smelter, the forges, alchemy tables, etc). Maybe have some of the nicer quests where it would make sense require a bribe before the person will give you the quest. Or add new upgrades for houses. Though some of that will require dealing with meshes and textures and crap I have no clue how to do. I know how to add and move items about and such, but actually making a new item and not having it look like an existing one, I have only a basic idea of how it is done, and would rather have a graphic artist do it. Maybe could recruit someone willing.Oh, here's an idea. How about a breeding farm where you could take your dog to have a litter and let you pick out one of the pups trying to get an upgraded dog? Maybe let you choose what dog to breed yours with to try to accentuate certain characteristics (health, bite strength, speed, etc)? Of course they charge a pretty penny. Could do the same thing for horses I suppose.
I would have the scariest chicken in Tamriel.
Talk to Lod, the blacksmith in Falkreath and the strangeness will begin.
I have this glitch going on at the pub in Riften where this thief is trapped in there running around like a chicken. I could prob put him out of his misery but its kind of amusing.
Did you try setting some chickens on fire?
Lock picks should be more expensive and much more rare. Buying one should be difficult to locate and very expensive, and finding one should be a real treasure. You shouldn't want to burn through 3 or 4 to pick an advanced lock and there should be an incentive to put perks into lockpicking.

"Not like this. . . "
OK, like an idiot off I go. Kill 2 guys in 3rd person view (although I normally hate fighting in 3rd person) and then got ambushed by 3 or 4 with special anti werewolf weapons <_<Ugh. I didn't really want to be a werewolf - just wanted to move the quest line forward.
seems a strange one to call out. I would start with the AI, then the clumsy combat command/interface for close range. There are some gui issues on xbox. Not sure why level up is on the b menu. It should be on the start menu IMO and quests should be on the b menu. It is a real PITA.
Yep, and now you have to start ALLL over.Oooof.My first attempt at nethack rules ended pretty bad. I finished the Golden Claw mission and killed the dragon at the West Tower. Made it to level 8. Then I died in the Ratway trying to make it to the Thieves Guild. I just blanked out and didn't get to my healing potions in time and/or run.Terrible.
Same here. At first I thought it was going to start a quest, but nope. Then I kept expecting him to say something or do something. But no, he just kept running around bumping in to walls. It almost reminds me of when you have a fly in the car. I want to hold a door open until he runs out.
I've found him running around the basement of the blacksmith's house. Which incidentally is a nice place to visit if you're looking to steal some ingots.
I then had the idea to lure the bandit's partner to the same doom. Dropped a fire rune, made some noise and watch in complete merriment as he hit the rune shortly followed by the pressure plate. Was kinda bumming there wasn't more bandits I could lure over.
Im coming back. I just ordered a 320 slim on Amazon for 21 bucks off. 6 months no interest if paid within 6 months alsoNow I just need to figure out how to stay out of the YLOD zone. Should be at my house on Thursday.I didnt realize how much I used it until it was gone between gaming, netflix, regular DVD and Blu Rays'Matthias said:Acer, if you come into the city you can borrow mine for a month or more.
Had a similar experience in a dungeon that had two swinging gates side by side. 4 or 5 bad ### draugers (at least badd ## for the level i was at) come racing towards me, i back peddle and watch each one of them step on the switch and get flung about wildly. Then i justSometimes this game is hilarious. Hit a random dungeon and was having fun stalking the bandits that had taken over inside. Came up on a switch plate triggered swinging door... One of the bandits noticed me, ran over, and then promptly hit the switch plate. As the door swung back into position, the crumpled mangled body of the bandit came with it.
and walk on through, pillaging their corpses for lots of good stuff. Had me
The worst part is I really liked that character. He was doing great. I just got distracted and had a mental lapse. There's no way those two goons in the Ratway should have been able to take him down. :(Yep, and now you have to start ALLL over.Oooof.My first attempt at nethack rules ended pretty bad.

This is killing me, reading through this thread. DIL decided to have my wife's new granddaughter yesterday, so that totally hosed up my Skyrim time. Can't play today, likely not tomorrow. So now I will have to wait until at LEAST Thursday to smith these new bows up, and it's killing me! Stupid real life, always getting in the way.'TxBuckeye said:

That sounds more interesting to me.'Matthias said:I'm surprised you guys don't move to Pacmantm rules. Start with 3 lives.

Thats it!For those who have finished the above:I just started the Glory of the Dead quest before I signed off for the evening.Is that the furthest you are with it?Almost done the Companions quest.

I wanted to get rid of this Werewolf thing myself and start the Dark Brotherhood or something but before I do that I want to wrap up the Companions stuff...is that all there is to it?
Thats it!
had a similar crew plus a horse, lost horse and dog cutting through the mountains. pirate code
Spriggans. My butthole clenches whenever I hear that buzzing sound. Those, and ice wraiths are two things I really hate fighting. There's a really nice crib for sale in Solitude. Talk to the Jarl.
Pluses up your skills like 10% for eight hours or somethig like that. I will do it if I am smithing and/or enchanting stuff I intend to use for a good long while.
theres an orc in here that would take offense to this assumption'Matthias said:
I only had the game freeze once since I bought the game roughly a month ago.
I'm playing on the slim 360 and so far, other than the occasional slow load, I have been fine.
Some lag... no freezes here.
