I want a Uriel Septim rookie card.

A more fitting idea would be skiing

This thread represents why you should never take anyone's opinion on the internet too seriously.

You guys didn't hear?

You defeat Alduin by lodging a hockey puck into his throat causing him to choke in the final round of the Skyrim Provincial Hockey Tournament. Not before the guy ate all the bloody hotdogs in the entire arena though.

If they could implement golf, it'd be one hell of a great game trying to wallop people from a distance with the golf balls..

yeah, i heard

Please, no. I'm not a big fan of mini games. Why? Because I saw what happened to major platform game series like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon once minigames were introduced. Suddenly, you go from, "The world is in danger, so you must run, jump, glide, etc. through these exotic lands and collect crystals, gems, etc" to "The world is in danger, so you must play hockey and drive tanks to collect crystals, gems, etc."

I realize that the old-time platform games were never meant to be serious or realistic (they were mostly for kids, but I like to replay those old games from time to time), but they were still ruined when they became 40-50% mini game. Likewise, the same could happen to RPG's too. It may just happen in a different way. We may not be driving tanks, but over time, we might see more and more mini games overtake the core game play to the point where RPG nerds like me suddenly have to play racing and sports games. If I wanted to race, play hockey, etc, I'd play THOSE games, not an RPG.

I'm in the small minority of people who dislike the lock picking mini game from Oblivion. I'm terrible with twitch-based game play, and the auto-pick option often forced you to fail 90% of the time, even with a 100 security skill.

So instead of fighting each other with the hockey sticks, they'd literally murder each other with spells and whatnot?

I'm not sure about this being in skyrim... but if they had this in real life hockey i think i'd actually watch it lol.

Say what?

Who wouldn't want to high stick a cliff racer, if one happened to fly over the border...

This or snowboarding. Would make getting down the mountain much more fun.

civil war = ice hockey?

Also, just cuz you can tack on any genre of game doesn't mean you should waste resources doing so

It's Skyrim, not Sweden. Still, a unique team sport in Tamriel is definitely something i want to see, but it shouldn't be anything like Hockey. It should be something which could be played in most provinces... you know, something which dosn't require a frozen lake. And i actually like Hockey.

Actually what he said is that RPG aspects have been seeping their way into other genres. Now he did mention that the RPG genre encompasses many things and has been evolving over time.

I'm all for some sort of minigame but not really hockey lol.

Hooking would be really brutal. It'd be more lime hamstringing. Players out permanently due to an inability to walk. Well, maybe not. That's what healing spells and restore health potions are for.

On a serious note . . . bad idea. I just can't imagine playing a sport that as a Canadian I hate anyways (yes there are Canadians that hate hockey. I think there are three of us now. ) and put it in a fantasy game--a genre that I love--a genre that Hockey has no business being in.

Sports though or some kind of gaming sure. But a people like the Nords? I can see sparing, archery, axe throwing, looting, pillaging, raiding, razing, etc. heh.

How about horse racing. I'd rather have Skyrim turn into a racing game than a sports game. I got sick of hockey after getting demolished by my brother on the SEGA Genesis.

If Ice Hockey were to officially be in, I will make a Wayne Gretzky character.

THIS!
I would rather have racing than hockey.

That's still like a sport where people bet on who wins, and I still can't see that in Skyrim.

there should be some sort of reprimand for postings like this, its asinine and silly in the extreme, we dont need this sort of thing in a TES nor does 99 % of TES gamers it just wouldnt fit (if this post is even half way serious).
