Dropping your crap about ? Morrowind style or Oblivions ? or : V

» Tue Jul 12, 2011 7:17 am

so in morrowind you could actually drop stuff and depending on how you positioned your self could actually place stuff in cool spots and make it face ways you wanted

in obliion any thing you dropped could not be placed any where cool and would flip flop about and in soem instances fall through teh floor and be lost for ever (game breaking in my oppinion if you saved after wards )

so what will teh drop system for skyrim be like ??

I truly hope that it's more like Morrowind's System. In Oblivion, you can finely manipulate the placement of the objects, but, when you actually dropped them, the just flew everywhere.... So, a blend of both, I guess

Spelling is for winners. Stay in school, kids.

Ontopic; couldn't care less. Decorate something worthwhile, something real, something to be proud of. Not something in a video game.

I've been wondering about this myself. I liked how you could arrange stuff in Morrowind easily. I think they should come up with a happy medium that blends Morrowind and Oblivions into a new hybrid, allowing certain containers a more restricted way of placing items and also allowing the free grab and weighted system of oblivion.

While the advent of Physics has made the game more interesting, it has ruined decorating for me.

First, placing stuff where you want it is a major pain. Second, once you do get it where you want it, all you have to do is bump into something and everything dominoes all over the room.

Give me back the way you could do this in Morrowind. Please. Now I just throw everything into chests, nothing ever gets put on display in my houses.

Those were glitches in Oblivion. It wasnt the "Oblivion system of dropping items" >_>

I can't become an interior decorator in Skyrim, this game is mainstream baby crap.

as long as staffs don't fall through the floor and become lost forever, I'm fine with either.

I was able to do some decorating in Fallout 3 - sure, you had to be a bit careful about bumping stuff, and some of the objects had poor collision meshes. But it was possible. (Even with Oblivion-style physics).

I imagine we'll be able to do something similar in Skyrim. (And, hopefully, they'll have tweaked Havoc a bit more, so that it's not quite so overactive.)

I too preferred how we placed things in MW. I like to put things where I want them and have them stay there. I will never forget setting my table in Bruma and getting it just how I wanted it and in placing the very last item I knocked almost everything askew. I gave up and lost a delightful part of my game.

I would also like to see proper book placement on book shelves and racks for displaying my weapons in a neat and orderly manner.

Mild OCD in me I would imagine that makes me want such things. Though it could be just enjoying order in my home regardless of if it's my real home or my home in Skyrim.

"Hello, I heard you purchased the Servants Quarters for Rosethorn Hall, and I was wondering if you had anyone in mind to fill that position? For 150 gold and a roof over my head, I'm yours. Well, to help around the house and knock all your stuff off the shelves, even the stuff in the display cabinets, especially if you have forked out some serious wedge for the Hands of the Atronach, I mean."

I prefer Morrowind's simply because it's easier to place your items around without them bouncing around or being too sensitive. Fallout 3 improved over Oblivion, however, by making the items less sensitive and easier to move around or place. But making a personal library in Oblivion was impossible without mods. The books would never stand still and would fall as soon as they'd hit another object or if you walked by.

I also hope we'll be able to drop our gold this time with different models of gold piles depending on much we drop like in Morrowind. I love decorating my loot rooms with gold piles and neatly placed exquisite items and artifacts.

You do know you can grab things from ur inventory right?! So in ob you don't drop things unless you want to. Also it took me and a friend playing on for first time we didn't know about the grab and were just dropping things mw style lol

So prefer ob method when you get the hang of it ie after 500 hours of grabbing stuff and ob fo3 nv later I'm pro so I'd like it to stay if it got less complex I'd cry I live my player homes it's what keeps me in game after I've done everything.

I don't think it was glitches. I think it was natural consequence of all items having physics properties. The simple act of placing a gem in a bowl was orders of magnitude easier in Morrowind than in Oblivion.

I'm hoping for something closer to Morrowind's placement system, but not holding my breath.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an ISO styled room editor that allows you to pick & place any item you have [in the home] ~exactly where you want it to be, and in what direction it faces...
Possibly even flagging it's physics properties as static until picked up.

"Nice" would be an understatement.

Lol I never had this issue!? You should always check your self, I rub up against my displays to make sure nothing catches. No point coming home to stuff every where or tearing a whole shelf down because 1 items bigger than the self. Always hate the display cabs to ridged.

Or when you set your table very nicely, and then proceed to sit down at your wonderful creation... A graqe blasts off from under a plate and everything just crashes to hell! :facepalm:

This, so much this! I loved decorating my home in Morrowind. My Oblivion houses don't reflect my characters in at all the same way. Keeping your book collection in a drawer is just sad. Some modded houses come with nicely shelved books--but those aren't books that my character has collected and read.
