Ok I kind of got this idea from another post, but the idea comes from this post

I want to show that Bethesda are listening and I don't think this would be to hard to include in Skyrim or to ridiculous and immersion breaking. So vote for leafy and we'll see if Beth are listening in 11.11.11

Please feel free to post comments on what you think of the idea, or other ideas for Easter eggs anything to keep the thread near the top and get as many votes in as possible.

I do want Bethesda to listen to us, but I don't want a dragon called Leafy. IMO, it is ridiculous and immersion breaking, having an almighty dragon named Leafy, especially since they have a Dragon Language anyway.

They do listen, but not to ideas like this...

sorry?

I am Agent Grey and I support Leafy the big green Dragon.

Of course M'aiq once knew a dragon named Leafy, perhaps it is the one he saw in Oblivion, or perhaps it is not.

Tons of ways it could be implemented, It could just be a quote form M'aiq or just unexplained name for one of the dragons, I'm sure one of them is going to be green anyway.

It could be an easter egg, maybe on a mark door with a dragon and a leaf under him, or the leafy dragon inn :foodndrink:

@ rivers lol same idea same time

I suppose having more subtle references like that would be okay, so long as we don't get one of the real Dragons named Leafy. :tongue: Maybe they would have a dragon-shaped leaf in the middle of a forest that only the most observant of people can find.

No one is claiming they don't listen. It's too late for major game changes and they aren't gonna put in all the tiny weird and totally random things people ask for. And no thanks on a dragon named leafy.

Ok I have updated the poll a little to include an option for a more subtle reference to leafy. There have already been some suggestions for this.

A dragon named leafy is not a major game change. The game is a long way off and still in full swing development, with 9 months left, a lot more stuff can come or go, 9 months is a pretty large percentage of most current gen games entire dev cycle.

Saying that, Leafy the Dragon.... no. I don't get it.

He could be Maiq son, or an argonian, a very very hopeful argonian.

It would be an incredible immersion breaker.

@iomind why would a leaf dragon reference be an immersion breaker? i dont remeber fish sticks being immersion breaking :/ :confused:

I don't it even has to be a dragon someone already suggested a tavern, could be one of the books you find - a children's book we know kids are in. I don't really see it breaking immersion if done in the right way, certainly no more than some previous Easter eggs.

It's probably because one option of polls said, "Yes, I want a dragon called Leafy".

EDIT : Wrong word used in quote.

He didn't comment on the other option for a subtle reference, just said it would be immersion breaking.

Maybe I missed it the first time around, but when I first saw this thread I didn't see the 3rd option. Anyway, I wonder how the person who posted that Leafy challenge or something would feel if there really was such a thing.

I wish just once, that I could find a game that treats dragons like intelligent old ones... Like Granamyr or Smaug, or even Draco from Dragonheart. Something other just a T-rex with wings. They don't have to all be nice, but they shouldn't all be malevolent. If a dragon is 10,000 years old wouldn't it be neat to ask him a few questions; with answers some perhaps like...

"What you speak of sounds familiar... A carved out cave in the mountains? Hmmm... In ancient times the Dwarven nations kept a great store of emeralds hidden deep in the 'Throat of the World'. An outpost of the utmost secret nature (or so they thought), there in it held the great vault of the Dwemer kings. Trapped with deadly mechanations of the vilest clever cunning. The gates were concealed, but inside many of the walls bore this mark..(scratches a symbol in the dirt). Tread carefully in that place if you see this mark. There were strong magics wrought to defend it's halls, and they likely defend it still."

*Yeah its corny, but you get the idea.


****Oh... and I can see a dragon like that, named 'Leafy' by a child. Whether anyone else can call him that is a different matter. :chaos:

:brokencomputer: i didn't take the time to see when he posted, thanks for reminding me. the third option was added in an edit, iomond posted 2 minutes after the edit was made. he must not of had seen the third option or it wasn't in yet.

And I agree. I just can't see myself taking a dragon named "Leafy" seriously, if Bethesda wants to show us that they listen to us, there are better ways to do so. Like using some of the good ideas fans have presented that could really benefit the game.

Besides, just because Bethesda doesn't add everything we ask for doesn't mean they don't take our ideas or suggestions into account, this also means that Bethesda doesn't need to try to prove they do by adding things just because we suggest them, and it certainly means that we shouldn't assume that Bethesda is ignoring us just because not every single thing we asked for is in the game. Bethesda also needs to consider whether the idea is actually feasible, whether it fits in with the direction they plan on taking the game in, and whether it would actually sit well with the majority of players.

I do not care. I don't even know who leafy is.

I voted no because Leafy is a rubbish name for a dragon

Would they be a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leafy_sea_dragon? Those are so cool.

leafy dragon?......yeah,why not? easter egg?........yeah,why not? bethesda put this idea into the game?......i don't think so,they are full of work.maybe in a expansion?.........yeah,why not? :turtle: leafy dragon i can't wait to kill you :chaos:

Why would I want a dragon with a dog-like name? >.>
