How can someone think "You move like a pregnant cow!&#34

Post » Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:32 am

How? And this is not the only completely ruined dialog in Oblivion... "Exhausted Mine is southeast of here." when it is south west... I've also heard opponents wielding axes say "Jump on my sword while you can!" Please make some better dialog as this is quite annoying...

In that they hope the dialogue for Skyrim will be more fitting and realistic.

So are all bandits insane? screaming about things that make no sense or don't exist? The fall under the influence of Sheogorath.

Not all things that exist in Tamriel are seen in game.

The game is kind of like a condensed down version of Tamriel, with only the things of interest to the gamer in.
The imperial city is much larger than what we saw of it. It was only a representation.
There are lots of things Tamriel has that we never get to do, such as pay taxes.

There also must have been cows, because there was beef.

I do like non hostile creatures though. The netch and tame guar from Morrowind, the sheep and deer from Oblivion.
I hope Skyrim includes some types of tame animals.

I'd love to see a more diverse selection of taunts, depending on the race of your opponent. As Bethesda has claimed the races to be more diverse and unique, I wonder if this also applies to the way they taunt the player.

For instance, Dunmer might switch to their native swear words like 'You N'wah' and have taunts based on their culture. And every Bosmer male will 'get the feeling you and I are to become very close' when taunting other males :P

You had to go with Fargoth "shudders" someone better report this to the... damn it.

I like the idea though, it would add something and not take much to do so.

Ever heard of Oblivion's secret cow level?

Go soul trap Writ's leg and take it to an enchanter. Enchant a piece of paper or scroll with the writ's leg soul gem and a portal will open up. In there you will fight hundreds of cows on a flat plane...in fact theres so many cows on screen that the game usually crashes every time.

There are cows somewhere because you can find steaks in game. Must be imported but never the less, some would know what cows look like if they are eating the meat.

Cows don't appear in Oblivion, but since there's beef in the game, it's pretty obvious that cows do exist in Tamriel, they're just not portrayed in the game, we can assume that either beef is imported from other provinces, or cattle are raised in Cyrodiil, but are not shown in the game, either way, people would know what a cow is, so "You move like a pregnant cow!" makes sense, it still sounds silly, but sometimes, the occassional silly NPC taunt can be entertaining too. Just because you don't see something in the game doedn't mean it doesn't exist. If that was the case, then there would be no children in Cyrodiil or Morrowind (Or at least, Vvardenfell, Mournhold, and Solstheim.) and everyone would just come into existence as an advlt (Maybe they reproduce via cloning, that would explain how not being able to remove their underwear doesn't hurt them, though I think that would still produce other difficulties.) and cyrodiil would have only three kinds of aquatic animals (With one being more amphibious and one being quite stationary.) and everyone in the province would starve because the few small farms just can't feed everyone, but the game is not meant to be taken as a perfectly accurate representation of how Cyrodiil looks. Rather, it's just a rendition of it that's possible with whatever limitations Bethesda might face. And at least aims to be close enough that players can suspend their disbelief when they see things that aren't quite like what they should be in the setting. The same is true for Vvardenfell as shown in Morrowind, and for Skyrim.

The "Jump on my sword while you can!" thing is a bit less justifiable, but really, it only happens because combat taunts don't take into account what kind of weapon enemies are using or what's going on in the fight. So NPCs will tell you to jump on their sword even when they don't have a sword, but maybe this will change in Skyrim.

Either way, I expect Bethesda will try to cut down on some of the cornier combat taunts in Skyrim, as they'll probably figure that they wouldn't fit so well with the grittier feel they seem to be aiming for in Skyrim, though I certainly could be wrong on that acount.

For instance, Dunmer might switch to their native swear words like 'You N'wah' and have taunts based on their culture. And every Bosmer male will 'get the feeling you and I are to become very close' when taunting other males


I want to hear "Rip it apart!" in Skyrim again.

Well, since we've seen dogs in screenshots......

Anyone towards Khajiht: I'll feed you to the dogs when I'm done with you, kitty!

Or

You'll make a nice fur coat!

:tongue:

Dunmer to Argonian: This is for Morrowind you filthy N'wah!

Argonian to Dunmer: Run back to Morrowind......Oh wait!! Hahahaha!

Suspend your disbelief. Maybe they're just using a metaphor. Maybe that bandit that is wielding an axe normally wields a sword.

Not only is there no cows, there is no pregnancy or kids.
