Then how can you object to anything that helps to fully flesh out the world, is quite minor in implementation and doesn't affect you if you don't want it to?




Well I'm afraid Morrowind + Arx Fatalis ruined me forever for anything that is not a FPP Bethesda style open world.

Fishing Pole...Polearms?

I dont object, i dont care. :rolleyes:
Just RPG for me is about beeing someone that i cant be in a real world.Cooking/Fishing in RPG for me is like cooking/fishing in FPS.Dont make any sense.
But okay,if devs put it in a game they probably think it would be fun.

um except for one that completely wrong since roleplaying is aobut roleplaying whatever you want, even if you can do it in real life doesnt mean it shouldnt be in a role playing game, i mean sure i can swing a sword around and kill people in real life, but that doesnt mean im going to. Stop trolling its annoying, and against the rules of this forum.

^This^
I think its a good idea. I WANT TO EAT YOU LITTLE FISHY! :nerd:

If you don't care about the topic then please stop posting in this thread. And if you don't see a difference between putting cooking/fishing in an RPG and in an FPS then you need to bone up on your acronym meanings.

So I would have to guess then, that your roleplayed character is an understanding, open-minded, thoughtful, selfless, individual...am I right? :flamed:

I am not trolling, i just dont get it.Role-playing a fisherman or a woodcutter is fun for you?Well it isnt fun for me.That because i wont get any secondary professions.
In Skyrim i have a better things to do,like role playing a assassin or a thief.

Yes. Some of us find things other then killing fun.
And if you want to roleplay an assassin or a thief that is up to you.

I like many ideias here on the forums,but i just cant understand all that "simulation" desiree.

then leave the thread if you dont care about the topic being discussed, theres no point in arguing with people if you dont care if its in the game or not

I would like to be able to fish. I won't take it as far as some people. For some people, there character in the game is like a character in a book, they like to do thing that would make sense, like having to get food and sleep. It adds to the game, so what's wrong with it? Having extra content doesn't harm your experience, you will just have a shallower experience than someone who takes full advantage of what the game has to offer. Nothing wrong with that, I probably won't see even close to half of the entire world, unless the game is a lot more interesting than Oblivion, which was a game I enjoyed.

If you don't get it 4 pages in you WON'T get it ever.

I think we should give Djoan a break here. Personally, I think it would be cool to have things like fishing in the game, but I can understand how some people might not find that sort of thing fun. Since the purpose of this forum is to discuss ideas (ostensibly), people with opposing ideas have every right to post their thoughts as well. What's the point of filling a thread only with people who agree with each other. You just end up with a big echo chamber. So as long as people can be civil (and, from what I've seen, people on this forum are generally civil), I don't see what's wrong with a little disagreement.

To be perfectly honest, I'm kind of surprised at the number of people that can't see Djoan's point. Sure, we like fishing and cooking and those sorts of activities, but what if you just want to be an epic hero who is out to save the world. Read any of the old epics from any culture--none of them dwell on the day-to-day tasks that the hero has to carry out, unless it is somehow related to the hero's quest or is a manifestation of the hero's powers. They all paint with very broad, bold brush strokes. Perhaps that's the way that Djoan wants to play the game. I can understand that.

Yeah we aren't objecting to his play style he is objecting to ours and therefor we give no quarter. You have to give respect to get respect, it's not free.

Seconded.


And I've yet to see a fun fishing mini-game...

I think we can all understand that. I know that I however on playing through for the third of fifteenth time will more likely than not refrain from playing the MQ and play my own story which may or may not include something so mundane as cooking or fishing.

Hmm, OK. I just didn't get the impression that he was necessarily disrespecting us.

@Achromatis: *sigh* I know, I know. :biggrin:

why do ppl complain about optional things that add to the game??? i'll never fish if its in but i think it would be cool if it was b/c thats one more thing to do and build a character around

were not on his case because he disagrees with our opinions, if you dont disagree with me then sure feel free to argue if you dont want it in the game b/c if its on this forum it very well COULD be in the game. but its not that he doesnt want it in the game, he just doesnt care but still posts about how its stupid.

I am going to play a Nordic shaman type, who has a strong desire to understand the language of dragons. In dreams she hears them whisper, but does not know what they say. So she will quest to learn their language.

During her adventuring, she may find the time to stop by a stream and, if the game allows, catch a fish or two, and cook them for her dinner, among other things.

However, there may be days when she is adventuring, that she does not want to fish. Perhaps she would rather bathe in the stream. And later, perhaps set up a camp, and tend to some serious herbalism, and drink a horn of mead while gazing into a campfire. I can hardly wait.

Fishing will be an important food source for nords.
I want to be able to fish.
There is no better way to relax from a dragon fight,than going fishing in nice quiet lake on alittle boat,with jugs of mead......aahhhhhhh!....bliss.
Untill a sea creature pops up and splits you in half of course :thumbsup:
