New thing to do.

Post » Thu Jun 06, 2013 7:02 am

I was thinking of a new thing to do and I came up with this-

Have 2 saves of the same character.
1 is a normal citizen, the other is an adventurer.

save 1 does every day stuff and Goes to sleep at 10pm-8am every day.
save game after using bed.
save 2 is loaded when save 1 sleeps.
save 2 is a dream and does adventuring for a while then save 1 wakes up.
save 2 is saved and save 1 is loaded.
save 1 does more every day stuff earning money to buy a big house.
it reaches 10pm. use a bed at 10pm until 8am and then save at 8am.
load save 2 and continue your characters dream.
after some time save 2 is saved and save 1 is loaded.
repeat.

what do you think.

I think this is a really fascinating idea. I love it. Are you actually planning to do this yourself? I would use more than two saves, though, if I were doing this.

no thats not what i mean, do you know how when you go to load on the start section and how the saves are numbered, how high is yours.

I am asking this because you said before that you had many characters.

thanks.

I'm using it for my Altmer female.
She will dream of being a member of each guild in seperate dreams.
she will dream of one guild multiple times until done with the guild, then another dream for the next guild. and so on.
she will visit finnished dreams sometimes, just to do radiant quest for them.

Very cool idea.

So if they die while adventuring, will they wake up from the dream?

Cool Idea. I might try this at some point. I think it could be what convinces me to buy Hearthfire.

I think it's a cool idea too.

Myself, I just got archery back to 100 and I have no interest in starting a new character and going through that again. :-) I've been playing this game for 5 months and I've just now learned the game well enough to develop a character I really like.

That's a pretty damn good Rp idea :tops:

Come time to end it, once all is said and done you awake one day to simply carry on knowing that the great adventure you had was only a dream. Good show ol'bean, I may have to borrow this idea at some point :yes:

Interesting, but seems a little tedious. I might give it a go.

Thats definately a cool idea. Id never of thought of something like that. I guess the hardest part is keeping track of the time.

Time will be easy to track.
I'll just play 1-3 hours of the dream and then My Altmer wakes up until 10pm then sleeps again.

If I had my Laptop I would post it in the roleplay thing.
I use a phone and it would take too long to type big paragraphs.
I want to but cant. :(

She is half way through the companions and has a nice set of elven armour with an Elven greatsword, Glass sword and Glass bow.

I am really enjoying this new roleplay.

That's an awesome idea, I've never thought of that.

I don't know if I'd be able to do this. I tend to get into these gaming "modes" where I either want to just go out adventuring, or want to sit back and read the in-game books or something else normal, but my adventuring modes are definitely more frequent than my normal citizen modes. I think for me it'll start out ok, but once I switch to my adventurer, I won't want to switch back and live a normal day.

I'll definitely give it a shot though! Sounds like a lot of fun! I might have to make it so that I begin a session as the normal citizen, live a day, sleep, then have the rest of the session be the dream without switching back until my next session.

that could work too. Play 1 citizen day then the dream for the rest of the gaming session. next gaming session play 1 ciziten day and then the dream for the rest. and repeat.
