Sometimes people rebuild. Sometimes... well... look at Detroit -- and it didn't even get physically destroyed.

I would love to rebuild any destroyed cities, but the quests have to be huge because building a city is really just a lot of work! I don't mind if those quests are mods though, it would be cool however that in that case, like Zeopard already mentioned, that the mod gets a reference in the next game or that the developers officially make it canon.

Even if the fires went out and there was no rebuilding - that would be ok. But a rebuild would be exellent

I voted no.

I'd love to see the cities being rebuilt, but it would be so much better if the cities were alive.

As in the people made their houses themselves, instead of relying on this one Kahjiit to pop by and find the Maguffin of Machina.

If a city is meant to be destroyed in Skyrim then so be it. If you want to rebuild it you can always create a mod like they did with Kvatch.

Why would you want a city to be permanently inaccessible? I s'pose you enjoyed the smoldering wreck of Kvatch, never to go there again?

"blah blah blah get a mod to fix it"

No. Why should I have to rely on someone else to do the job BGS couldn't? Anyway, I have no doubt there will be recuperation of cities, especially after what they did with Kvatch, they wouldn't do it again.

Congratulations, your 8% of the population. I assume we go by majority rules so NO. Next time you want to go be a rebel then go somewhere else. This is a forum, no one cares. This is only three pages of post if you can't read a few of them to tell that what your saying is exactly the problem Bethesda has. Relying on us the community to fix our own problems. Then maybe you shouldn't of voted. It is simple concept and wouldn't take terribly long time to fix.

Whoa easy I'm not trying to start a flame war. I'm just saying if a city is scripted to be destroyed by a Dragon say Alduin then should it be rebuilt in the amount of gametime that the Dragonborn will have in Skyrim. With Kvatch it's unrealistic for it to be rebuilt during the Oblivion crisis because the empire is too busy defending the Imperial City and keeping Martin alive. Could Bethesda maybe include the option to rebuild a city in Skyrim, it's a possibilty but if it doesn't fit lore wise then no.

a fine example of rebuilding is hiroshima (and whatever that other city was called)

yes, towns should be rebuilt in this game

Imperials didn't do [censored], yo.

They sent half a battalion to Kvatch and then used their mind powers to stop me stealing stuff in the city.

What about the people sitting in that tiny little village near kavatch? They said "We can rebuild it." You never read the post so it pissed me off. People had already said that they intended to make kavatch a quest but time constraints limited them. It would make perfect sense for people to automatically after the recuperate to want to re build there home so they can have some where somewhat safe to stay. Unless your telling me you would rather remain homeless which I think is bs. If that is your logic as I was saying your alone.

Half a dozen people can't rebuild a city like Kvatch. It would take at least one to two years if not longer game time to rebuild it. Now if you were able to get other people from say Anvil, Skingrad, Chorrol and maybe possibly Hammerfell and Valenwood then yeah you might be able to build it back up in a month or two but the events of the Oblivion crisis may prevent that from happening.

» Tue Oct 12, 2010 9:04 pm

No it would take them a long time till the events were over right?

Would like to see a few minor cities(not settlements, cities) being destroyed and reconstructed, as well as maybe scars on some of the bigger cities that could be rebuilt with little or no help of the player. After all the world doesn't completely revolve around us.

If any city gets destryed I would like the option to rebuild it it, I kind of felt cheated because I could not rebuild Kvatch and I really wanted to rebuild that city but never got the chance to.

» Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:27 am

That would be fun!
The aspect of rebuilding Rome in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was a cool thing to implement.

That statement is a bit controversial.

yes i was pretty dissapointed when kvatch was never rebuilt the mods that rebuilt it looked amazing but i never played oblivion on the computer

» Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:33 pm

Because the twin towers are a memorial to the people who died that day and it will cost a huge amount of money?

Actually because they were aging badly, the tenants were moving out (both partly due to the WTC bombings), and the planes solved the issue of what to do with them. As bad as it sounds, the owner wasn't all sad.

As for building back destroyed cities, I think that would be pretty cool.

» Tue Oct 12, 2010 3:00 pm

Yes please I'll like to rebuild a city. I was so bummed to hear there had been a questline/faction for Kvatch/the Elder Council in Oblivion but it had been cut. I wish they'd gone back and released it as DLC.

» Wed Oct 13, 2010 1:16 am

It would be fun to be have a hand in some way in rebuilding.

And geesh, if people didn't rebuild things like in Oblivion, soon enough in TES:11 (Akavir? o:) Tamriel would be completely ruined! hurhur.

» Tue Oct 12, 2010 1:11 pm

If a city is to be ruined, it would be interesting if it was slowly rebuilt over time, according to the game's calendar (obviously sped up so that we don't have to go to prison repeatedly just to see a city rebuilt).

But what would be particularly interesting would be if the city were not exactly the same after being rebuilt. Perhaps have people living amongst the ruins rather than some absurd "it never happened" situation.

Actually you just reminded me of the situation of Rome. The ruins are still there they built around them and it's a tourist attraction. But need more support before I put that in. I already have the maybe it's not the same bit though. I would hate if people didn't reference it or at least act arrogant because of how they bounced back lol.

» Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:04 pm

Good thread. I hope there is rebuilding involved, but I also want to see permanent marks of the events that came to pass, like a specific bulding that was left in ruins on purpose, to remind people or what happened for example.
