Getting Drunk in Skyrim

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:57 am

Vomiting, alcohol poisoning and eventually death if you continue to force your character to drink would also be nice.


And urinating on yourself, and depending on what you eat maybe the combo giving you explosive diarrhea too! Y'know, complete with temporary "negative perks" like annoying everyone downwind of you until you can dive into an ice-cold river and clean off a bit! People in the streets pointing and laughing once you've wet down the front of your clothing, permanently affecting your reputation in that town as word gets around. "Hey look, there's that 'adventurer' that pees all over himself every time he's in the pub!"

Effects on quests too...who's going to ask a garment-soiling lush for help except maybe...another garment-soiling lush? Certainly not the noble in charge of a town..."Chamberlain, the treasury has been robbed. Send for that stinking, stumbling sot who was urinating all over town last night, I'm sure he can bring the bandits to justice!" "Er...my lord, do you have evidence that they're hiding out in a tavern? Seems to me that's the only way he would even manage to find them."

What do you guys think about this? I for one would love to play an alcoholic character.. one that cant go slaying dragons, exploring dungeons or grocery shopping without a good strong swig of happy sauce.


Only if they take it all the way.

Get too drunk and you should wake up next to a hairy fat chick the next morning :cryvaultboy:

A half troll would probably be the Elder Scrolls equivalent. :unsure:

And make all the enemy mobs look like weaker versions of what they really are, so your judgment will be impaired. You start a fight you think you can win and end up getting your ass kicked hard.

And then the hangover afterward, as well as becoming an alcoholic. I don't know, maybe a really annoying ringing from the speakers to simulate the headache that won't go away until you get another drink or something.

I seriously hope there's possibilities of bar fights, just non-lethal bar fights where everybody just starts fighting everybody :D

Then the guards show up and put a stop to the bar fight with extreme prejudice, then hauls everyone off to jail in a large wagon.

No they must be lethal... to everyone involved... and most towns people not involved either.

I would have a bigger desire to get OTHER people drunk. My fellow Fable fans might remember the fun that could be had with beer and women in that game. A bigger catch with this game is the advanced npc behavior system. Call me evil but, I would love to get a man in trouble with his wife for getting plastered XD

Okay im in a library and Im having the hardest time not cackling like a madman here.. hahahahah... Oh man... Now I want drunkenness and indigestion effects!!! I wanna play the "stinking, stumbling sot who was urinating all over town last night"!! hahahaha!! Hey if youre really worried about how it would effect quests public drunkenness and violence could lead to a massive drop in your fame level. Quest givers and NPCs could refuse to engage you in proper conversation while you had the 'drunk' status effect on. heh.

Whats all the way?

I guess it would be cool to see drunk guards walking around or buy people beer so they black out and you can steal their stuff.

Hmm... that would be neat. It wouldnt be a totally cheap way of robbing people because you'd actually have to pick someone with enough gold to make paying for the drinks worthwhile.

Drunken horse riding is where Im at atm... I wanna see my mighty warrior sway in his saddle, struggle to unsheathe his blade, get physically ill and then fall off. Either rolling off a cliff-side/bridge or dragged along slowly by the one foot still caught in the stirrup.

It'd also be pretty great if drugs (not Skooma or moon sugar, those make you twitchy and paranoid or mellow, respectively; but other drugs) made you hallucinate. Like letting you talk to someone who isn't there, or attack people you think are filthy ogres.

I love the idea of booze affecting speech - making it slurred/unintelligible or opening up unique dialogue options :P

Sounds like it should be a perk

Or even better an achievement - Toxic Waste - you have drunk 1000 cheap meads without needing to empty your bladder

I agree that there should also be some more effects when you drink alcohol (or even eat some foods) instead of stats change.
Same with skoooma or lack of sleeping (they should really make us need a bed since sleeping is almost pointless for now and wait > sleeping).
You know, so we can get more into the element. :)

Would be cool if when piss drunk the game makes your character become 50% uncontrable and blurred vision , in other words, the game can make your character steal things, or hit someone random without the player giving the order or hitting the buttons. some sort of AI that works under special drug addictions. This would add alot of fun i think, never knowing what can happen if you drink far to much because of the AI taking over a great deal of your characters control. Stealing an apple, dress naked and hit a old lady in the streets kinda thing :P but that said, this should only happen when you really are drunk as hell. Hehe, difficult to explain the idea, but i tried, hope some of you understood a little of it
