Parchment and Quill... : V

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 4:47 am

I always thought it would be cool to be able to write on parchment that you find in Oblivion if you had some ink and a quill. Wouldn't it be neat to keep a journal of your character's progress or write down recipes for potions you wish to remember? Am I the only one that cares about this? (I'm sure I am).

It doesn't really matter, I just think it would add to the roleplaying a bit. And it most likely wouldn't be hard at all to implement

I think it would be pretty neat.
I always keep parchment, quills, and inkwells on my person when roleplaying mages and such.
So, it would be awesome to actually do something with them.
If the developers have time, it wouldn't be that hard to implement.

The little details make the game. :thumbsup:

This would be a great idea, although it will more than likely never be implemented as it is such a hassle for us with a console and no keyboard. (I play both PC and Xbox versions of tes games)

In Oblivion the simple task of naming a spell different to the default was a nightmare. So the chance to jot down notes or write about experiences is easier to do with a pen and paper.

Ya, I would like it to be vanilla instead of someone having to mod it in x.x though I have to give the mods for oblivion some credit, very effective.

Neat idea, dont mind if it was implemented, and dont care if it isnt

It would take a lot of time on the consoles, but I want the option to be there.

Makes sense. I can see the use of it. Although this may indeed be more difficult to pull off for console owners.

I HATED how you couldn't write in Oblivion. I found some parchment....I found a quill....AND I FOUND AN INKWELL, IT'S TURKEY TIME!....

WTF I CAN'T WRITE! CURSE YOU ILLITERACYYYYY!!!!

....Hopefully this will be added.

Thanks I planned on downloading that a while back but got sidetracked.

With the CS it was possible just to write an in game book that you could update after playing http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g376/Indep/ScreenShot91.jpg

Alot of older games had entry points in the main player journal.
They could do this surely, maybe have a dump file that can be opened with a text editor as well.

Lol! I'd like to be able to take notes too - I'm on a console so no mods for me; having it in the vanilla version would be greatly appreciated.

It would be awesome to be able to leave yourself notes like "Armor" and "Weapons" on chests in your house. It's certainty not high on my priority list, but it would be cool nonetheless. Plus it would be amazing to role play. You could write a book about your adventures like Bilbo, haha.

I think it would add a certain charm to the whole gameplay. And personally I don't think it's THAT difficult to implement

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 8:07 am

Absolutely. This one feature, which may be considered as small and unimportant by some, would add tenfold to the roleplaying experience. Definetely a must.

Those were my first thoughts too.

"There and back again, a Bosmer's tale, by Glarthir" or something

Yea, writing notes would be usefull...

Now, we just need something to stick the psper on npc, with jokes writen on them...well, we should stick them anywhere... But they disspear after some time.

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 7:47 pm

That would be cool to write stuff in it. A number of times I would want to write something in Oblivion

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 1:06 pm

It would be cool, but why would I want to?

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 11:51 am

i would want to be able to make magic scrolls with them

oh and the xbox do have a attachment to the controller that gives it the ability to type

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 1:34 pm

It'd be nice to do, making notes and stuff on places you'd been and things you saw. But if that wasn't an option, I definitely think enchanting parchment to make scrolls would be the next best thing.

Yea, and making "flyers" that we could stick to doors could be fun... we could make fun of Jehovah witnesses, in Machinimas.
