So I'm wondering with all these random dragon attacks on towns and such will we still have the choice to be evil or RP our character? What I don't want to save the town of nashville? What if my character isn't "good" and flees from the dragon? Will that town be in ruins? Will all of the quests from that town be unavailable? Everyone that was there dead or "knocked out"? Will this decrease the amountof "random quests" generated due to an area being demolished? Do tell, i'm curious if we will still have that core choice to do as we please without being plagued by dragon attacks killing where quests might be.

Basicly can I steal the old hags television while she's half way down the dragons throat and let the guards fight it off or do I have to save her so the town doesn't die leaving me with a lot less quests?

Well maybe you'll be a dragon slayer but you'll be a real [censored] about it. Like that guy who shows up and kills the dragon, just so you can take advantage of the town or cause your next assassination target is there ;P

Edit: Then again you could show up as the knight in shining armor and slay the dragon and proceed to the local tavern to show off and get war booty.

What?

How would anyone know this?

War booty - Tail one acquires after being victorious in a big-ass fight.

Thread creation should be a moderator reviewed action. Sadly, this will never be the case.

That attitude is overplayed. Forums are self moderated, in that threads that are pointless can be ignored and they'll get buried and die. As long as the trash doesn't keep getting brought to the top it doesn't really matter that it shows up from time to time.

That being said, every topic has a chance at spurring a great discussion. Right now almost everything is hypothetical anyway, we really don't know a lot about Skyrim, but we're all really excited (some maybe worried) about it being released. Beyond that, the powers that be read things here and what discussion goes on here could influence the direction that is taken or help in some of the tough keep/drop feature decisions that will undoubtedly be made before the game is finished.

Long story short, if you find a thread to be worthless, simply ignore it and let it fall off the main page and die the sweet death it deserves. Posting in it to say it's a dumb thread only keeps alive longer and risks encouraging sub conversations about a threads worthiness to exist, thus prolonging it's death even further.
