Enchanting the name of the soul on the gem

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 6:26 pm

now when i heard enchanting is back as a skill i got excited. i hope it is like morrowind style of enchanting were the name of the soul is on the gem.this made me soul serch for every mob i could get in the game. and you are not restricted to only +10 points to a skill or attribute. i want 1 pice of armor to increce my strength by 50.

I'm not voting really. I find it kind of creepy to be honest, but it is a game mechanic. I'm not sure how the lore works. If you outright kill the soul by using it that's pretty evil, even for animals. I like to think it's like letting water through a hydroelectric dam and when you use the gem you release the spirit. I'm probably wrong though and I accept that. :)

If you destroy the souls to use them honestly I think naming every trapped soul would make me avoid using them, even as a mage. Then again "it's just a game" mentality would probably come in to play if avoiding use of them is actually tedious in the game.

I'd prolly soul trap all the spiders and hide them ina chest and then i'd start my game...the name on the gems is empowering...i could then collect powerful souls and put them into a collection to look back on..

I like my soul gems to have the name of the creacher along with how powerful it has made my gem.Let the hunting begin I vote yes.A quest where you had to collect the soul of each creacher in the game would be awesome!!!!!!!!!! :foodndrink:
