Home is where the Heart is At

Post » Fri Sep 16, 2011 10:23 pm

So, I have been currently playing Oblivion and was trying to decorate my home. There is one thing I hope they fixed in Skyrim and that is the way things fall. Becuase it is unbelievably frustrating to drop a silver goblet and find it halfway across the room. You look at the table that's where the objects should fall, where you're looking. Not 15ft away from the table. And things if you want to push them a little in shouldn't go soaring around like some flying disc. I try to scooch a plate in and it goes sliding off the table.

What do you guys think?

Opinions on how to make home decoration less frustrating.

edit-

Personally, if anyone had every played Fable 3 recently. I really like the way they did home decoration. You click on a cupboard and you can switch between certain designs for your cupboards. Swap beds out by just clicking it, etc.

It's certain they should add a better carry system. Oblivion's was god awful.

There were many complaints back in the days so i figure they have also improved on that since there are many that like to decorate their home(s)...myself included! :)

I remember spending an hour on my house in Skingrad attempting to place my rare findings along the shelves and display cases. Afterwards, I walked back in the house only to find everything shifted. Almost everything fell off the shelves, and my display items were popping out of the cases.

I raged and made a new character. -.-

I hate the tan and pewter and clay dishes.So I replaced them with silver. Issue now. I try to put food in the bowls and on the plates. Yeah right. Plates go bouncing. Food everywhere. I gave up. lol.

When a vase hits the ground it should crack! Not fly across the room!

My heart's in the highlands, wherever I roam. That's where I'll be when I get called home.

Can agree with this really easily!

Though I did manage to set up the imperial shack quite well. Stored all my weaponry, powerful items and mission memorabilia (the mother's head) there too. I didn't mind it, but a bit more control on the placement of things might be nice. I hope there will be some kind of shack I can live in on Skyrim too, wont be a game breaker of course.

I'm suddenly reminded of Morrowind's terrible (lack of) physics. Eventually, the Fighters Guild was decked out with too-expensive-to-sell weapons organized across the floor. The corner tables were covered with soul gems and potion and skooma and Ancient Dagoth Brandy. The bedroom was stacked with all sorts of books and scrolls. On the other side of town, Kagrenac's Tools would sit atop Caius Cosade's woodchest, all nonchalant.

And then everything went to hell in Oblivion. Walk too fast and knock everything over!

On an odd note, I thought this thread was a newinfo skyrim reference to Lorkhan's heart. oh bleh :)

hehe, I just remembered I used to keep mothers head in a basket in that shack at the foot of the bed. good times. Wasn't there also a severed head in MW in the back room of a bar, it was a refernce to one of the devs character while the game was being made. I think the bar was also named after it.
