Only if I can bleed them dry, bath in their blood and stay beautiful.
Afterwards I'd hand the bodies to the real cannibals.

I cannibal guild is slightly silly, as others have said maybe a clan in the mountains yes I could have that (maybe there is some cultural story involving why they have been outcast from their nearby city etc and how they became cannibals) I myself would rather have a guild of heros, special warriors that have earned their right to be in the guild, an elite group who have done many tasks most dangerous and to join you have to have a very large reputation and proved yourself and are well known amongst the land.

Isn't a guild an organisation of people who are in the same business, who cooperate to protect their mutual interests?

A beggars guild for instance would be possible, since begging is a way to make a living. Cannibals forming a guild however makes no sense at all.

If you mean a savage tribe or a religious cult that practices cannibalism, then yeah why not.
But it's not like I will be impressed or disappointed if there is or isn't one in the game.

Is this turning into a guild type thread. Cause I hereby request a "Streaker Guild". There could be quests like streaking through the arena, during the middle of an important match. Comon guy! It'd be fun! :celebrate:

Well, if we're going to have a cannibal guild, there are certain other guilds which are of equal or greater importance and ability to be well implemented in the game. Some examples of such are the shoe-wearers guild and the birdwatching guild.

If you read the history and lore of TEV, Bosmer are actual cannibals. They have evolved to where now they eat those they defeat in battle.

Vampires are not cannibals, if you remember in oblivion you could drink the blood of a victim while they sleep without killing them. The only possible cannibals in TEV is the Bosmer race. Skyrim is made up of a bunch of nords though, so maybe some of them went crazy in the cold

This idea is slightly morbid.

Maybe, their could be a secret society of people whose guilty pleasure is other people's flesh and bones... Like some evil craving

OMG! Like a cannibal guild! Thats a great idea. Cause you got the guy who wants human flesh, but he can't share it with the rest of the world, cause it's bad.....so he recruits through secret means, like coded messages...or even better, there would be a deadric prince of cannabalism, who witnesses all acts of cannibalism, and the first time that you eat human flesh, he sends someone to pay you a visit the next time you sleep (in a location that HE deems secure, of course). The previous message was an Original Idea TM

Less a guild more of a secret faction guilds are to help to gain exp and teach you stuff for a character but the faction would be more of a knights of the nine type of thing where it is all just a big quest.

You should go and visit bestgore and leave elder scrolls, because despite its flaws is a beautiful game and it should stay like that

Ha ha thats great, a holy crusader of cannibalism, where the people of town pat you on the back and thank you for eating their mother. Does eating a noble add to your refinement?

Utterly foolish. Seriously.

Guilds are commercial and trade organizations.

Factions are a group of people that are somehow united: a town, a country, a nation (there's a difference between country and nation, too, whoa!), a guild, a cult, a gang. Etcetera.

A cannibal guild would not exist, unless there was a culture (such as Valenwood) where there was an art to eating people, such as how to prepare the body, scoop out the brains, savor the spinal fluid. But not only is that... completely nucking futs, it's not Skyrim. The Bosmer eat people, not the Nords. Hell, the Orcs don't even go around murdering and eating people. Tamriel is a place where the various races, though having their quirks and strangeness, are influenced by imperial, cyrodiilic customs.

Now, were this The Elder Scrolls V: Valenwood (TESV_V), then I would whole-heartedly support it. For now, however, in a Norway-esque country of fjords, valleys, and plentiful fisheries, this is a completely misguided idea arising from the popularity of Fallout games which, though amazing, have nothing to do with the lore of The Elder Scrolls.

guilds arn't limited to commercial organizations, they are more of a caste in society or just a group of people with the same interests, and a faction can be any group of people so really a guild can be a faction and a faction can be a guild. Guild just more of just have a goal, whereas factions can just link people together

We're starting to get overrun by these silly guild threads - one is fun but there is a limit to how much fun one forum can have. Thankfully I'm here to save you. *click*


(I don't believe this was originally posted to be a humor thread but it's spawned quite a number of such threads so it needs to take a rest, at least for a little while, give me a sec.)
