Ideas for M'aiq : V - Skyrim

This.

People who just say 'this' without any original thought or meaning of themselves are no better than parrots.
explain why this, or do not bother. Its not like you get +1 internet for each post.

Post count says diffrently and there really isn't anything else to add to it.

And let's do try and stop on-topic.

I had not considered people may value post count.
To me, its a meaningless number.
It takes all sorts, I suppose.

I still think M'aiq is an avatar of an Et'ada. Likely Hermaeus Mora because he knows much, tells some.

It would also help explain why he'd still be alive.

M'aiq is a play on words for Mike, Mike worked/works at Beth and is/was known to be a pathological lier

M'aiq waonders if this is a dirty job for Mike Rowe?

M'aiq hears some wish not to see spiders. M'aiq thinks these people should wear blindfolds. Problem solved. (Referencing people with arachnophobia complaining about spiders)

M'aiq is glad he is not a mystic. Always with their heads in the clouds, M'aiq prefers a more practical approach. (Referencing people not liking the removal of mysticism)

Are any of these things discussed enough for him to talk about? The answer is no.

"M'aiq thinks that being a werewolf would be expensive, having to replace all of your clothes and Armor."

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 7:13 am

in Morrowind M'aiq brought up the subject of dragons

"why are there no dragons? because they live way up high, and are invisible"

it would be really funny if M'aiq ended up having to correct that statement given that Dragons now do exist

"M'aiq is in fact no liar, people always asked me about Dragons, and M'aiq always told them they lived way up high and were invisible. Pah, they called M'aiq a liar, but M'aiq right! Dragons no longer invisible, they come to prove M'aiq right!"

"M'aiq thinks that Mods are bad. M'aiq thinks its that its the mods fault all of the women are freezing to death."

IF he ever says that in the game, I swear I'm gonna choke to death from laughing too much. seriously, this is the best one he could EVER say!

I was waiting for someone to comment on that one. Seriously, how awesome would it be if that were included?

Well if M'aiq makes it in the game (or his son's son or maiq the 3rd) he will most likely once again make references to bad ideas, bad/past games and lots of other stuff.
So I thought this could be a thread were everybody shares there ideas on what he could say. Any good ones I see will be added to this first post and the people who wrote them will get credit. I will start...

M'aiq is scared of many monsters and creatures. But none are as scary as a bandit in full dadric amour. (oblivions [censored] level scaling)

M'aiq still hasn't heard a good fable. I just heard of the of a the thrid one. M'aiq hears it's worse then the first two. (the 3rd fable is even [censored]ter then the first 2)

M'aiq never liked school. Not even Maiq knows if anybody liked the classes. Mabey you could ask some of the new kids if they like them? (oblivions horrible leveling system and classes)

M'aiq once lived in cyrodill, everybody was always talking about how horrible mudcrabs are. M'aiq hopes he never encounters one of these beasts. (the most common thing npcs talk about in oblivion are mudcrabs)

M'aiq once accidentaly knocked a plate off a table in Cyrodill. M'aiq tried to put it back but M'aiq had to run away before he could put it back properly. (you can't move things around on oblivion without stealing)

How did M'aiq end up in skyrim you ask? M'aiq knocked a gem on the floor and tried to put it back on the display. M'aiq then had to run all the way here from Cyrodill. (same as above)

M'aiq used to think M'aiq was going tonedeath. M'aiq couldn't hear the difference between any 2 people of the same race. M'aiq could not even hear the difference between M'aiq and argonians. (people of the same race had exactly the same voice in oblivion. Argonians and khajit had the same voice aswell)

The only thing Maiq was good at during school was athleticsI. Maiq could run 3x as fast as all the other khajits backwards. Then again, Maiq could run just as fast backwards as forwards. (you can backpeddal in oblivion just as fast as you can run forwards)

Other peoples (only really good ones)

Why did you create a new user account? Why couldn't you post this with your old one? I'm assuming you made a new account just for your SN.

M'aiq wishes to sit, but the chairs all look so hard and uncomfortable.

(Reference to all of the chairs lacking padding.)

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 12:42 am

M'aiq used to pay fisherman to speed his travels. Times change, now fishermen are poor.

M'aiq always felt safe in Cyrodiil, M'aiq always knew what to expect.

M'aiq likes apples for eating. M'aiq tried watching one once but thinks looking at apples is overrated.

M'aiq used to jump over small rivers. M'aiq cannot jump so well any more, feels like M'aiq's feet are too short.

M'aiq always wears armor under his robe. To not wear armor would be foolish, to not wear a robe would be uncouth.

M'aiq wonders why humans do not freeze to death wearing armor so close to their skin.

M'aiq spent years practising with his dagger, now M'aiq is as skilled with a mace. M'aiq does not think this makes sense.

M'aiq once broke his dagger blocking a mace. M'aiq's life was saved when he found a pointed stick.

M'aiq wears a right glove for luck, a left pauldron for style. M'aiq pities those who have neither.

M'aiq enchants all his clothes but he is careful not to spoil his fun.

Arrows are for shooting things, signposts should be followed. M'aiq cannot understand why some get the two confused.

When M'aiq wants someone to like him he gives them a slice of pie. Sadly, not everyone likes pie.

heh, enough for now

M'Aiq wonders why others are complaining about steam. It helps keep M'Aiq warm and is good for so many things, like cooking mudcrabs.
(In reference to if Skyrim uses Steam as its DRM.)

M'Aiq has heard two more fables over the years. M'Aiq thinks the second was worse than the first, and the third worse than the first two put together. Perhaps M'Aiq should just stop listening to fables.
(In reference to Fable 2 and 3)

M'Aiq hates tasks that require you to stand all day and move your arms about. This would tire M'Aiq after just half an hour. M'Aiq prefers to just sit back, relax, and enjoy life without any complications.
(In reference to those wanting to use the Kinect)

M'Aiq hears people want to enter a new dimension. M'Aiq wonders what is so wrong with this one that makes people want to leave it, especially since the new one requires panes of glass to be worn over their eyes so they don't go blind. M'Aiq does not like these, as they are bulky and make M'Aiq look ridiculous.
(In reference to people wanting Skyrim to be 3D ready)

M'Aiq wonders why people wish to pay for travel these days when it's so fast and easy to do it themselves. M'Aiq would rather save his gold for a slab of horker meat than sit behind the smelly back end of a horse for hours.
(In reference to fans wanting Morrowind style travel options, if Bethesda doesn't include them)

M'Aiq thinks others must really be homesick if they want Skyrim to be like other provinces.
(In reference to fans wanting Skyrim to be more like the past games rather than it's own entity)

Note that these are satirical in purpose and that I am in no way telling other people off using M'Aiq's voice. I'm just coming up with what M'Aiq would probably say about these things, so please don't take them personally.

Why you all be dissin' Fable? =(

"M'aiq is very popular. People LOVE M'aiq! M'aiq has even overheard some people making up new lies for him. Sad really."

"M'aiq has heard much of Dwemers. He is glad they are no longer around. Who would want a nasty Dwemer hanging around? Only strange people. Dwemer make nice armour though, M'aiq think."

"M'aiq hope that Nirn never gets destroyed. If M'aiq had to live in post-apocalyptic world, new information would be hard to come by. Good thing there are no weapons capable of destroying Nirn."

"Gun? What is a gun? You mean gum? You want some gum? Hm, now M'aiq wants gum too."

"M'aiq wants to be the hero sometime. M'aiq deserves it! He wears overpowered clothing, and runs extremely fast. If M'aiq were hero of Cyrodiil during Oblivion crisis, he would run into gates and pass all the Deadra, then grab Sigil Stone. Easy, no? So why M'aiq not the hero!?"

"Alcohol in Skyrim is watered down much. Come to think of it, alcohol is watered down much everywhere. No getting dizzy? No fumbling around?"

"M'aiq used to be mighty fighter, but... has lost much knowledge since coming to Skyrim. He forgets how to trap souls properly."

"Necromancer? Yuck! M'aiq wouldn't want to become a Necromancer! Why would anyone? Hanging around corpses all day, cutting corpses up, re-animating corpses, eating corpses, stuffing corpses, experimenting on corpses, have se-... You get the idea, M'aiq thinks Necromancy is too much work."

"Crossbow? Two bows shaped like a cross? Who would want that? M'aiq certainly doesn't."

"M'aiq still knows much, and still tells some. M'aiq is growing tired of this."

"M'aiq not know about others, but he like to eat VERY fast. Why would M'aiq want to sit around as he eats? Booooooriiiiing."

M'aiq find beef in cupboard, M'aiq hear talk of pregnant cow. M'aiq Khajiiti, want to find bottle of milk in cupboard.

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:19 am

M'aiq once liked fishing, but when the only thing M'aiq caught was mudcrabs, M'aiq got tired of fishing.

Windows? Why would one want to see through windows? If M'aiq wants to see what's outside, M'aiq goes outside.

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:31 am

Lots of people didn't talk to M'aiq because M'aiq kept still on island.When M'aiq moves about near cities,lots of people didn't talk because they couldn't catch up.M'aiq can't win.

M'aiq either gets strange people laughing at his advice or people looking at M'aiq strangely.All M'aiq wants to do is help.

M'aiq gets people asking him for "memes"...maybe they want beans?M'aiq never seen a farm which grows beans.When M'aiq thinks of it,he hasn't seen that many farms recently.

Why people want to go Morrowind?It has no pretty scenery...although people tell M'aiq it was more unique than Cyrodiil.

People want Skyrim to be as big as Daggerfall.Surely they can just go to Daggerfall?

M'aiq met people who wanted to fly in Cyrodiil.If only people knew danger of cliff racers and dragons.

Although M'aiq sees children more often,people tell M'aiq he needs to be older to play.M'aiq says playing should be for children,or atleast teenagers.

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:23 am

No more classes they say. People are all equal they say. But no one respects M'aiq.
(in reference to no more classes)

Argonian's so dumb they need both hands for one spear. M'aiq tells them to use two spears but they don't understand how.
(in reference to dual wielding, should spears be included)

M'aiq meet people say they travel really fast, don't remember how they got here. M'aiq say too much Skooma, not good for you. Moon sugar much better.
(M'aiq explaining the concept of fast traveling)

People jibber jabber, say lots of things but M'aiq don't care. M'aiq saw a mudcrab...
(in reference to Oblivion's random small talk)

When M'aiq was small everyone grow up really fast. Now little people everywhere! Three apples tall, M'aiq can't see them. Step on M'aiq's paws all the time but M'aiq can't hunt them or people be really angry.
(in reference to the previous absence children, should they be included)

200 years ago everyone rich. Even bandits rich. Glass armour for everyone! M'aiq no liar, no siree.
(in reference to Oblivion's level-scaling)

Bright people not always good. Kill each other sometimes. Better everyone be a little dull.
(in reference to Radiant AI)

Dwemer? Odd people M'aiq say. M'aiq met a dwemer once but he gone now. They all hide behind trees but you have to be really fast to catch one.
(in reference to dwemer)

Always jibber jabber, wan't more, don't like, say if M'aiq only listen to them he will be rich. Is just crazy talk but people think they know M'aiq better than M'aiq.
(in reference to all the absurd requests people make on this forum)

Maiq is a way of communication between the Devs and the players. We should not be the ones suggesting ideas. Thats the DEVs job.

I wonder what the lifespan of a khajiit is... :spotted owl:

Ask M'aiq. ^^

M'aiq knows of a fifth elder scroll specifically made for gamers more hardcoe than you who don't want to hear console talk or less skills where combat and fun and casual exploration has been replaced with stats crunching, inventory management and a crushing grind just to survive, but still features massively expensive graphics and crucial features like AI for the snow and NPCs who are smarter than Stephen Hawking . They could have compromised and made a well selling game that appealed to fans of rpgs and action adventures but apparently that would only appeal to people who like Wii fit and so the few copies sold made the more hardcoe than you crowd feel very smug as they were better than everyone else if judged by their own egocentric criteria. All this in an era where software developers went bust all the time.

M'aiq has never heard tell of a sixth elder scroll.

u mad?
