I at the current am enjoying a nice box of Millers genuine draft or whatever it is they market it as and it occured to me that in Oblivion the only effect of alcohol was stat based. I honestly can't remember if that's the case in the Fallout series but I think they're stat based as well.
A lot of games eg GTA, Bioshock, alter ingame perceptions and scramble movement controls to an extent, in an attempt to emulate the effect of heavy inebriation, and it struck me this hasn't happened, to my knowledge, in an Elder Scrolls game. :foodndrink: :celebration: :violin: :swear: :rofl: <--- my projection as to what taverns'll look like


SO. With the tavern fights adding a new element of depth to the game, do you think drunkenness will make its debut in Skyrim? I honestly would like to see it, the tavern brawls'll be much more interesting if you can do them with an element of visual impairment, perhaps sluggish response timing or a wandering cursor or something.

I included a poll because why the hell not. :flamethrower: :flame:


I mean it doesn't contribute much to the game but it's a recurring theme in many of them. And you need to consider their age ratings, I don't know about what they tend to aim for. Or how that affects anything. But in my opinion most people on this forum'll take any opportunity to discuss/suggestthingspertainingto/complainabout anything.

I want this

I think drunkenness should remain stat based. And if you drink too much you should actually die.

Yeah, ever since Saints Row I thought it should be in every game that involves alcohol.

nah if you get drunk enough you pass out enter loading screen and wake up somewhere random

us nords love drunk, thats wy we are teh best! :clap:

I think it should stay stat based.

This is a genuinely good idea. I like this. This should definitely be implemented.
