Jobs

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:54 pm

In Oblivion, gold flows into your bag faster then the adoring fan respawns. Instead of making so much money off of quests, maybe only a little amount, and instead have jobs. Jobs like say, being a farmer and selling what you grow, bodyguarding a noble. More common things that earn you gold each day.

I think it would be cool, but I am fine with or without it.

This is probably going to happen because there are jobs to do in Skyrim and the Radiant AI might give jobs too such as hunting for them etc etc

I had a day job in Oblivion i Killed people for the brotherhood. But if they offer some jobs that AREN'T just stupid little minigames ( Fable style) then i welcome them.

Yes. I would also like a jerk of a boss, a harpy of a wife and a litter of ugly, loud children. And to live in a one-room dirt floor hut. There's a punchline here somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind it really, i just can't see how they could do it without turning it into some kind of stupid and utterly boring minigame like in Fable.

Anyone who supports working for loot hasn't played the fable sequels.

I already have a job... Kill stuff and sell the loot! Why would I want to go chop wood or bake bread? I would like to own businesses, however. But they would be staffed with hired workers. See the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1160987-skyrim-traders-guild/page__p__17039020__fromsearch__1#entry17039020 thread.

Farming and selling food would be interesting, mining too

Also, being able to re-open closed shops and run them, or buy a shop off an existing vendor and just have them run it or something, so you can grow to become a rich merchant. Will you keep your shops in good repair? Will you hire proper guards for your convoys?

A lot of the quests are jobs.

How about getting a job as a clerk at a bookstore? Just image the hours upon hours of fun!

I'm all for having jobs but I wouldn't want a reduction of quest gold. And I'm assuming when you say jobs you mean like Fable type mini-games, which would be awesome.

I guess I wouldn't mind if it were an option, but I'm inclined to say no. I mean, this isn't the Sims. :tongue:

“Okay Mr.Obrum Gro-Brok, lets take a look at your application…Hmm, you say here that your pre-destined to save the word; that’s certainly a plus…Ummmmm. Okay down here it says you also worked as an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood and… Well let’s stop right there for a sec. How to do feel your experience as an assassin would help you to be a good fit here at Mutton World?”

Maybe your short on that sweet axe a few hundred gold. Do a bit of blacksmithing to get there without leaving town. And The Sims and TES share many qualities already. :tongue:

I'll do it as long as it doesn't become so time consuming that it interferes with my gameplay. For example, if one of the jobs was farming and you had to constantly monitor your crops, I'd rather not do that job.

Ummmm, doing a job would be gameplay? But I agree with you on your second point, wouldn't want farming to be tedious and require a lot of attention. Plant some crops, go dungeon-divin' then return and harvest em for sweet moolah!

Meh sure, but not the so common jobs, being an adventurer and all. Being a bodyguard might be interesting, could be at a nightclub or to accompany a traveling noble.

"Um....I'm good at cutting flesh....and......I can sneak up on sheep and kill them without the other sheep suspecting anything.....and cook them with a fire spell??"

Back on point, I think some jobs would be fun to have and I would love to own trade stores and be able to stock them with loot I gain and have npc minions sell it off for me for profit. Also would like to be able to name any stores I bought such as "Israfel's only slightly bloodied used armor".

Would also be kool if there was a blacksmiths guild that could lead to me being a recognized master smith with apprentices working in my smith shop making me weapons and repairing my gear for me...for practice and all...
