Why are we able to pick more than one? And aren't "Maybe" and "Depends" sort of the same thing?

Dude, why did you create another thread? Just edit your opening post in your last thread to add a poll.

I don't think it should be a permanent change. Maybe just for the duration of a specific quest or have it as a special spell only necromancer players can get.

same reason as me?, to indulge yourself in the dark arts and become an immortal and collect things.

Becoming immortal is really game-breaking... but I'd rather have a necromancers guild or something if I want to "indulge" myself into dark arts. I don't know what you mean by collecting things, like collecting souls? I can do it in Oblivion and Morrowind already

Oh, the developers would also need to record a lot of additional voices so that NPCs react to your lichdom accordingly, plus having to create new equipment and animations for the player. All of this work for a not so necessary feature, i'd rather have them using this extra time to develop this feature to create quests, etc...

well what i mean is i like to collect things and arrange them in my lair, all necromantic items and human hearts, books, skulls, anything and everything to do with necromancy and the dark arts or arcane magic, im a perfectionist with my ingame home and really go all out for my theme.

How about instead of this we make a thread talking about how something like this could work.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:44 am

I think it would be hard to make friends in the game if you were a lich...

Well, there is a single human heart in Oblivion I think, and there are some books related to Necromancy in both games, skulls and bones are also laying in every dungeon :shrug:

what do you mean work, i think its pretty much already in the game all it is is swapping your humanoid body for a skeleton enemy, with a cloak on and stat boost and a few new spells, if you ask me editing the vamp and werewolf would be more difficult beacause you have to start from scratch while the lichs animation is already in game just switch things around

i think the entire guild of necromancers would welcome you with open arms, you would have one giant loving family.

I mean how to fit it with lore, how to become a lich, what you can do as a lich, what you can't do as a lich, stat boosts, etc.

also, as much as I love the idea of becomeing differant creatures, including liches, I would hope to become a battle lich with Heavy armor. I don't care if it wouldn't make sense, I want to be one.

Yeah, but I see where people are coming from where they say one wouldn't be able to experience half of the game as a Lich. Perhaps there could be a form of Lesser Lich one could become.

i noticed a lot of people chose depends how it was done maybe you could share your views about how it should be done please.

I'll be glad to once I research it a bit and have time to collect my ideas.

Well, in Oblivion, all the Liches you fight are assumed to be extremely ancient Liches, maybe in Skyrim, if you were to become one, you'd be a young lich. You'd still look normal, just with pale skin, and an unnatural green glow to the eyes, but you could pass as a human.

I think that would be the best option for this avenue..

I personally hope they toss Liches and make the Vampires better...

I hope Lycans will make a comeback. They would just seem right in Skyrim.

maybe they should add some time leap feature like zelda? so you could just hybernate in some old tomb and come back a thousand years later and be godly.

Better werewolves and Vampires FTW!!!!!!

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 8:26 pm

They should focus on vampires and werewolves instead.
