i demand unique, non carbon copy creatures and npcs

Post » Tue Mar 15, 2011 4:33 am

well- the animations are certainly improving (look at the centurion animation-WOW) but...


i want UNIQUE npcs rather than what we had in oblivion (aka- the same enemy just with a different model and varying degrees of health).


plus- if skyrim had better combat and acrobatics than oblivion, morrowinds level scalling and level of awsome lore and all of the improvements made according to the gi article- that would make the game a nine out of 10. if the features in this list was added then the game would be a 10 :intergalactic:

These ideas are all very interesting and some are really cool, but what makes an NPC unique and engaging from my perspective is not so much the animation as the depth of the backstory and the quality of the dialogue writing.

I voted for the things I liked, but I'm really not sure I get this thread at all :)

Not sure 'demanding' is the way to go about it. Just sayin'. :whistling:

I think bravery should lie within the races. Orcs and Nords should be fearless. While Altmers and woodelfs should be scared.

Not wall walking spell, there should be levitation and climbing instead. In my thread on realistic eco systems I'd like certain creatures, predators like wolves and bears, behave realistically. For example, wolves shouldn't attack unless they outnumber you, bears should be less tolerant but significantly less if you threaten their cubs or corner them, or if they're hungry ;)

I'd also like some more non-hostile non-carnivores to be really hard to catch like deer (who run away at the bare sight if you're not REALLY quiet), squirrels and voles (who run up trees/hide in holes) and birds. Thus, they could make hunting a challenging and rewarding feature (with taxidermy?).

Most of your points are good, but I don't see the reason for a poll, I just checked all but two, and that felt kind of tedious :P

EDIT: And I'd love some more dynamic combat and better animations so you really FEEL that huge giant charging at you, ground almost vibrating and all. You can get thrown, so you just see your helpless body (legs) flying through the air.
