An almost poetic death.

I for one could spend ages in game (MW/OB) working out new ways of killing people. I have a bit of a soft spot for magic, so anything creative like that I love. When I found out about the poison apple I was ecstatic... Until I realised it was fairly limited. I'm hoping more opportunities like this will arise in Skyrim.

Given the information we know about the mechanics in game, what creative kills can you think of? Perhaps it's something you used to do in the old games... This can be anything - paralysis on an arrow, poisoned sword, paralyse as a spell, knocking someone off a cliff... into the river... setting up a trap for two rival NPC clans.. remember the rival goblins from OB? etc. etc.

I for one, can't wait to try out the new combined magic systems.



Cliff + Area effect paralysis + Area effect fireball = Free-falling flaming limp NPC. Might even try the slinky move and see how far I can get them to roll down the 7,000 steps whilst on fire and paralysed!! :flame:


So one and all, what's your signature kill?

If they have glyph/rune trap spells that launch NPC's in the air I will try to be creative and chain them together so that I bounce the NPC like a ball. Might be hilarious inside a small house.

Launch them, and then shoot them with the bow, like skeet shooting.

That would be cool, see how many hits you can chain together.

This reminded me.....

Ever since I heard about the 7000 steps to High Hrothgar, I've been thinking about this - http://youtu.be/ltwxC19s5u8 :rofl: So classic.

This will never work, people aren't THAT stupid...... :sadvaultboy: *sarcasm off*

I'm hoping we can place the runes/traps on more than just the ground. I want to trap a door, or do like that guy said and chain them together to bounce higher and higher.

Well Todd did say he was influenced by Bioshock so it's not completely out of the question!

With 20 unique shouts in the game, I've been wondering at what they will be. I'm willing to bet on an earthquake shout, with cracks and chasms in the environment. I dont know if the effect could be permanent. indoors could be similar, making cracks in the floor...i dunno, earth magic is due! "The scrolls told of Cpt. Planets return."

The shouts should make for the gnarliest kills. Im sure my favorite will be "slow time." However! When Sal dilates time, he's not slowing his enemies down, but rather revealing his true speed, a la Bleach. Killing you five times before you hit the ground :-P

BAN-KAI!!

First off you select a female character. Then you slow time, then you paralyze someone. You quickly start skinning him and wear his skin as a suit. Dump the corpse. Because of the time slowing, no-one will notice. Then you go live in his house, occasionally coming out as the man, occasionally as yourself. You then throw a party on a set hour, preferably a surprise party, and take the skin off. You tell the dead man's girlfriend he's cheating on her. She confirms with her friends, who saw you walking out of the house. Then you inform the girlfriend that they're in his house now and give her a torch. Let the Radiant AI do the rest and watch the partypeople burn.

Going to top of highest mountain with Adoring Fan, Tell him to wait by ledge, Yes right there, and take out my bow. Slow down shout, and shoot him in the face. And continue trying to shoot him as he is falling down. So poetic, makes me wanna cry.
