Predatory plants! : V

Who wants to see predatory plants in Skyrim? If so, what would you like them to be like?

Wouldn't one assume they were found in Tropic areas? I mean, they should be pretty unlikely to find in an artic area as Skyrim

i wouldnt really

Doesn't fit with lore or logic, even in a fantasy based game. So no.

Itis a fantasy, if they wanted predatory plants in Skyrim they could implement them.

A carnivorous conifer? I don't think it would really fit. They can get away with poop like this in FO:NV because that game has a sillier feel, but ES has always tried to stick to a somewhat serious nature, and I feel that as the series expands it will only be directed toward more mature audiences.

Skyrim's not exactly arctic. I mean there's a whole continent, Atmora, north of Tamriel. It'll still be snowy and stuff but it's not like the north pole. Although, It is a fantasy game, so they don't need to conform to earthly rules.

Dunno, it could be done maturely you know, it doesn't have to feel "silly".

I imagine there could be trees with bare, sharp branches, that wouls attempt to impale the player.

No, not in Skyrim. In Black Marsh or Valenwood, sure. But not in Skyrim.

meh

springans or what ever they are called are plants I guess

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:21 am

I don't think so. They would have to do it properly. Like a little bush that shoots a round of thorns into you.

maybe when we go to Black Marsh

There are vampire plants that like blood, it'd be kinda cool to be walking along and all of a sudden a plant tries to eat you. I would find it funny, after I kill it.

what about the bloodgrass, that at least attacked you, and that one trap in the SI, though that might have been a worm still the elyitra are preditors

Don't know about predatory, they do tend to go for insects. But I guess I wouldn't mind some poison effects on a few of them.

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:24 pm

It is a fantasy game, not a' throw-whatever-you-want-into-a-dish-just-because-it-is-fiction' game.

Oblivion had dangerous plants, but those were in Oblivion, not the mortal realm. Something like Spriggan maybe, not like the giant Venus Flytraps in New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:28 am

Perhaps in the southern provinces, but not Skyrim.

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:42 am

not like the giant Venus Flytraps in New Vegas

where was that?

and wouldn't most of the plants be dead anyways?

For all intents and purposes the Dyads in Bloodmoon were predatory plants.

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:37 am

It didn't impale!

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:55 am

It didn't impale!

*sigh*

Please don't make me explain my joke...

They were in a vault. Vault 11 I think. (could be 23 I am not sure)
