I think it would be cool if you could create your own Guild, typiccally a Dragon Slayers one. After all, you taking on a God, so it would be only natural to want some help, right? Of course, it would be completly optional.

You could perhaps recruit certain people into the guild, not guard captains or anything like that, but perhaps people who say, have nothing left to live for? Brilliant warriors who were shamed and now just live on the streets. What do you guys think?

This is Brilliant, yes i would love this. :toughninja:

Im so tired of joining Factions in Oblivion to have only 1 Guy follow me and then be told, im Only allowed to have 1 Guy with me when i try to ask Another Guy from another Faction.

I want a Guild where i can call up some Troops of my own and go to my Other Factions and call on More Guys so we can go Dragon Hunting, this could also work for the MQ

This would be nice. It's always annoyed me that I can become the leader of a faction, but that I couldn't utilize those resources for the main quest (or any other quest for that matter).

Great idea. It seems natural that some of Skyrim's lesser heroes would flock to the Dragonborn; and a party of them could possibly face a dragon even without Thu'um (and the Dovahkiin) on their side, meaning they wouldn't necessarily be relegated to sidekicks all the time.

Which is perfect "Dragon Slayers Guild" material already.

This is a great idea, even though I'm not sure how it could be implemented, exactly. More importantly, I heavily agree that if we're going to even have followers, let us REALLY have followers, otherwise, it's a waste. Smarter AI, better choices, and groups of at least 2 or three from a guild. I picture somewhere between working with the Fighter's Guild or Blackwood Company in OB, and the extreme example being the Battle for Bruma. Maybe just come up with some ideas like that. Cause I'm too tired. Keep this thread alive till tomorrow night and we'll see.

how about dragon resistance groups mainly formed out of people tired of having their towns attacked by dragons, militia, civilians, guards, you name it.
they wouldn't able to defeat dragons outright but they'd be good enough to drive a dragon out of the city, more than one dragon though and they would be toast.

This is silly, imo.
YOU are dovahkiin, you are the solo dragon slayer. You are the only one who stands a chance against them.
That's how it should work, and I'm almost 100% that's how it will work.

It could work, but I don't think this will be in. It will, after all, probably never happen that someone else manages too kill a Dragon since they lack the Dragon Shout power. Other can do Thu'um, but according too http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Thu%27um the Dragon Shouts are slightly different from "regular" Thu'um.
Edit: Grammar

And here I thought the whole point with the MQ is exactly this.. Guilds should never be part (IMO) of the main quest. The old wise dude and the greybeards serve exactly the same purpose as your guild. So no to guild, yes to the idea of not being all alone.

How about if the people who want to play a game in which you lead a party go play a game in which you lead a party?

But there is one they fear.

YES! And we could run the guild, recruit people, and take followers with actual names with us just like in AC: Brotherhood that'd be SICK!

THIS

No. You are A dovahkiin. You can make yourself stronger consuming dragons. That didn't means that others can't kill a dragon. TES series are full of incredibly powerfull warriors, I don't think this will change in Skyrim.

You are the last Dovahkiin I hope there is others that are powerful arounf the world though.

What I mean is that you are not the ultimate warrior for being a dovahkiin. As much as I hate to use starwars examples, it's the case of like lucke Skywalker. He was the last Jedi, but he wasn't THE jedi only A jedi, the lack of other jedi didn't make him unbeatable. The rebels wherent like “it's the death star! Well, the Jedi will handle this”

As the Dovahkiin, you are the only one capable of killing the dragons because you can use their power to it's fullest. You may not be the last, but for all intents and purposes you are the only one present, and you may be the only one alive at the time until new dragonborn are born.

I agree with amgepo, and let's not forget this is a single player game if you don't want to have this kind of help then don't be in the dragon slayer guild. I really like this idea but even more so on a global scale where all guilds should have this capability.

What would be even grander would be several other guilds or factions that maybe you can't join but are enemies of different guilds that are joinable. This would insure in any joinable guild you will be faced with rival guild warfare.

You can use dragon shouts after killing dragons. This is your power. And your first dragon need to be killed without using that power. So if no one without the power of dragon shouts can kill a dragon, not you nor any other previous dovahkiin would worth nothing. If you can kill dragons without your dovahkiin powers (and you need to be able), others should be able to do the same.

I don't like the idea of a dragon slaying guild to be honest. I don't know why sorry.

Other that, I REALLY don't like the idea that you're the ONLY one that can kill dragons. Surely that's BS, and they're taking the whole special man character thing too far.

I get that we're the only one they really fear, but there are meant to be great warriors in this universe. What about your character from previous TES episodes? Or Umbra? Or are dragnons the be all and end all and they just beat everything except you.

And no, you don't need dragon shouts to be dragons, they just help.

Not a big fan of the idea either. What I like about TES games is that your basically always on your own. Yes.. Oblivion did implement some poorly done followers that were useless and annoying (to me anyway.) I hate having to watch after other people, or rely on them. They just slow ya down and get in your way.. or shoot you with arrows from behind. Run a whole guild while trying to save the world from complete annihilation? No thanks.

Obviously its an optional thing, like, you can buy a building and get the option to make a Guild. Maybe Guild is the wrong word, more like, incredably badass people who you know will help you kill a dragon, either one could work.

I know that you ARE the Dovakiin, however dragons are pretty big and hard to kill, and im sure with the correct AI BGS could implement follower type NPCs that dont get in your way. Dragons seem like intelligent guys, im sure they would know you are the most powerful and the only one they fear, but im sure that dude on the rock shooting arrows at his face would get annoying pretty quick. I dont think anyone would be able to kill a dragon on their own, but they are there to help, offer a distraction, and, if the dragon hates them enough, die.

They arnt supposed to be insane one man armies like Fawkes was, but people who are there to give a little bit of help.

I don't like this idea. Dragon slaying seems like a dumb guild when it just seems like something the fighters guild and mages guild would just pick up.

Sounds really cheesy, so no. Also, I think Dovahkiin is the only guy with the voice and the cojones required to kill dragons.

Ok, I'll go play Skyrim in Nov.! K, thx, bye! :thumbsup:

The point of this idea is that people want there to be a point in having followers, and give the factions a purpose aside from a story and some gear. Hence we want Skyrim to give us the option of participating in a better guild control system and follower benefits if we so choose.



Also, this would actually be an awesome way of running the faction system in Skyrim. And judging by the fact that Bethesda is itching to tell us the awesome news about the updates they've made to the faction sytem, I would not be surprised to see this. Keep in mind, I don't particularly care about the Dragon Slaying guild as much as just better guild relevance and follower relevance for Skyrim.
