hallucinating in ruins : V

» Sat Jan 30, 2010 7:59 pm

would you like to enter an old ancient ruin and trigger a hallucination of people who used to occupy the ruin, in a sort of intriguing yet scary way with a related quest to it? not all the time just once in a blue moon. still an idea :thumbsup:

A vault in Fallout 3 had this, can't remember which one though.
It was pretty awesome.

I voted "maybe as long as..." since it has to be implenented properly. I did enjoy it in Fallout 3, it was once or twice so if it is done properly, I say yes great idea.

In one or two dungeons that might be rather awesome.

I'd like for some of the ancient ruins or sites in the game to be scary as hell, voted yes. And by scary I don't mean a ruin full of faded wraiths that I can slash to death with no fear. Something like the creepy vault in Fallout 3 or maybe a haunted demon possessed building like Shale-bridge Cradle from Thief 3.

Not hallucination, but ghosts. That would be closer to the fantasy theme.

Maybe, as long as it happens maybe twice or 3 times, and when it does, it adds challengingness to the game.

I said a vault, not a building.
Did a research and it was vault 106 I was talking about.
The source of the hallucinations in vault 106 was a strong psychoactive drug pumped in the air filtration system.
Any hallucination in Skyrim could be cause by magic "traps" and strong chemical gas made by alchemists or so.
That could fit in.

Yes, though preferably after we learn a specific dragon shout or something, and that seeing the past in a few dungeons is actually the only way to find some secret passages, as the char might have to speak a certain phrase for the wall to grind open for example.

Bandits with arrows dipped in skooma anyone?

Fallout 3 scared the [censored] out of me when you started to hallucinate your father in the vaults, damn, that was crazy [censored].

maybe a lich related quest would work for this, showing flashes of the place when it wasn't just ruins and of the person before it turned into a lich getting to see how it came to be.

Dungeons with set-pieces or bits of story to them really add to the flavour of the game. I'm all for it.

» Sun Jan 31, 2010 4:44 am

Maybe. I know this was in Vault 113 (I think) and although I thought "Ooooh...cool" it quickly changed to "I'm scared. Let's get out of here" and have never visited Vault 113 since then. True story

Fantasy isn't so strict as you seem think. The hallucinations could be caused by a fungus only growing in a certain region of Skyrim.

I think the ghosts should blink in and out the way "real ghosts" do.

That way you never know where it's coming. It would make it a lot more interesting to fight a ghost.

But just plain hallucinations for no reason is out of the question for me...this isnt supposed to be Amnesia: Dark Descent.
