Cultural respect

Post » Sun Jan 30, 2011 9:52 pm

I figured if we are going to have the Radiant Story thing it would be cool if the NPCs would get more respect for you if you specialized befitting their culture. For example if you are a warrior then the orcs, redguards and nords should have a "fellow warrior" type of respect for you.
Thoughts?

Being a warrior is not a "culture" I am fairy sure that Nords, Orcs and Redguard have a very different opinion of what a true warrior should be like, what his morals, behavior, or even weapons specialization should be and what he is supposed or not supposed to do. It is actually more likely that you'll gain enemies this way than friends - you call your self a warrior yet do something differently form what this race thinks a warrior should, do not abide by their morals and honor code. For example for some being a mercenary is ok, and for others fighting for gold may be a dishonorable thing to do. Some think that you should help people around you and actively keep piece, other that you should mind your own business until asked. Ones - that a warrior not serving a lord, or bing in the army is simply a bandit, for toners it's a normal way of live... You get the pattern. So more respect based on class is not something I'd want to see.

I agree completely.

What a Redguard thinks is honorable, an Orc might take it as weak.

What an Orc might think its right, a Nord might think it savage.

If you're a warrior type, I want to see each of the races respond accordingly. For instance, if you like to attack from the back, this could happen.

Redguard: You are a coward. True warriors do not attack from behind.

Orc: Go bash some skulls! Make them scream for mercy! See the fear in their eyes as you bury your claymore into their skulls!!

Nord: As long as you don't make them suffer, that's all it counts.

And my fellow Altmers will be snooty and stuck up with me no matter what I do :)

Of course, so am I to them.

im sure it is a culture in some respects, as all members from every race that specialise combat knows the trials and tribulations that one must go through to vanquish an enemy in battle, and so, the bigger the enemies you take down, the more respect they would have for you, where as a mage is not overtly knowledgeable on how much effect it would take to swing an axe through the knee of a mammoth and so they would not have as much respect for you, simply because they do not comprehend the feat you have achieved.
