Writing books in Skyrim : V

If you could write books or working for The Black Horse Courier, make a diary and having a job. Would you?

Where is the "no" option?

A journal is nice, but sounds like you could just pick up a note book in your room and keep logs there.

I voted Yes but only because I would like to keep a diary in my house or just with me that I can later check out to see how my my past experiences have been like.

I would like to have a journal, especially if we could export the text file, it can be fun to wright down your experience form your character point of view and save it for future reading. Not particularly important feature, but I would like it being in game

It is much more immersive than keeping a notebook nearby.

Ok, but I still can't not vote for anything in the bottom poll.

Always wondered why you coudn't write in morrowind/oblivion.
There's ink. There's quills. There's parchment.

Now that i think of it... spent an hour in morowind trying to use the quill and ink...

Yes why the heck not!? The more customization and innovation the better! :mohawk:

............can I write a dragon to death? :mellow:

I can't vote,b ut your journal should be empty unless you write in it (but then people would complain), I'd like it that way personally. I'm strongly considering buyign a journal and writing in it and never looking in my in-game journal, :lol:

Also, you should be able to sell your novels.

Sure it'd give the citizens of Skyrim more to talk about.

YES!

I wonder who would buy a book that only has the letter a in it?

I would have to agree. Selling the books could be a cheap and all too easy way to make money. However it's still would be a nice option if you like to role play. I would like to write books and letters, and say reverse pickpocket it into someone's pocket, or put it in their homes. Threatening people, love notes, ect... I do see it possible to have a page requirements if you want to write for the black horse courier that way you might make an extra buck, AND you'll likely make it something interesting since it'll get passed around and posted places. I think it's overall workable.

It would be a serious pain to key things in letter by letter with the 360 or the ps3, but I'm sure you pc lovers out there would love this. Ya, I could by a keyboard for my console, I could also keep that money for the game itself. >.> Anyway, I see no reason not to be able to. So why not. How big of documents we talking though? And would there be a set number of how many you could make and save?

Thats up to you.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:56 am

I'd love to be able to write hundred-plus page books (like fan-fics) in-game and to hear npcs react, " was amazing!" even if it was dull.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:09 am

Dude, who's gonna read it

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 12:10 am

Write notes or additional entries into your journal, sure. Write books or for the Black Horse Courier (or equivalent), not so much. No one is going to read it in a single player game but the person who wrote it. So what's the point?

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:48 pm

I'd like to write my own books and publish them to bookstores and make money on the side like that

Yes! I really enjoy Kyoma's Journal mod for Oblivion. It really added RP factor.

Also, you should be able to sell your novels.

Agreed, a neat way to RP an author.

Me too! And then maybe you'd just see your book littered around places after you sell/publish/print it.

Maybe the price you sell it for varies on the word-count. And they have to be real words.
