Okay, so in Oblivion, every time you encounter a wolf, it tries to kill you. It's either kill or be killed, so you have no choice but to kill the wolves, unless you just want to make a wild run for your life.... :bolt:

But is there no justice for the wolves? They have been vilified by humans for centuries, but in reality, wolves only attack humans if they are starving or if they feel threatened. So, unless every wolf in Tamriel is going hungry, couldn't some of them just ignore you, if you ignore them? I know it probably won't happen, but it would be nice to see, because I always feel a tremendous amount of guilt for having to kill them.

What I would really love to see would be the possibility of having a wolf as a pet. Dogs are cool, but wolves are even better. And humans have been able to tame wolves from time to time, so why not make it somehow possible to do so in the game, if you so choose? Personally, I would love to see that option somehow implemented in Skyrim.

Of course, if you still want to go out and mindlessly slaughter every innocent wolf you see, no one is taking that away from you.... :flame:

So, I'm sure I'll get jumped on by a lot of people who don't feel the same, or think it's stupid...but tell me what you think?

I read somewhere, probably unsubstantiated, that wolves will only attack you if they're on the hunt. Whereas at other times they may guard a kill and only attack you if you get close, or something to that effect.

Who knows? Sounds like a lot of creatures will not be strangely obsessed with killing every being in sight this time round, don't see why wolves should be different.

I'm pretty sure it has been stated that not every creature is hostile to you in the environment. And wolves won't attack you unless you disturb their routine in anyway, like disrupt their eating or invade their den.

Aye this is correct, I also read that wolves behave a little more like wolves and not like ravanous brain dead idiots with a mouth and four legs

Well then...hooray! :celebration: That makes me happy! But I still want to have a wolf as a pet. It would be fantastic.

And...where did you read this? I've seen no such specific information in all of the coverage thus far.

I want pokeballs....

They should be a perk called. "Protected by Wolves; You was abandoned as a babe by your parents. Unable to fend for yourself, death was surely upon you. Yet, fate had other ideas, a great wolf found you by the river and nursed and cared for you. The wolf then left with the arrival of a gentle shepherd who raised you with his wife as his own child. Since then you have had an unusual connection to wolf-kind. Oh, you also had a twin-brother but he "disappeared" after you had an disagreement over a simple wall. Ah well, you're the brother everyone will remember anyway."

:P

And I want climbing and interesting thief gameplay. We see how far that's going.

Cool. Thanks!

If you're on PC, you'll definitely have it via mods.

I love my Snow Wolf companion for Morrowind ^^ I hope they also make them to howl every time I feed them Rat Meat.

I've always played on 360 bc I can't stand using a keyboard. But I would love to check out all the mods for pc sometime, if i can get a controller to use in place of the keyboard...

I'm sure there must be literally tons of guides and ways to plug the 360 controller in the PC and configure Oblivion/Morrowind to use it. I suggest you to Google-investigate it. Believe me, it's worth it

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! Can my laptop handle it, though, or will I have to use the desktop?

I'm afraid I need the specs (which components/hardware have) of both in order to judge that

Not sure... I bought it new from Staples about a year ago.... Windows 7, intel pentium, hp is the maker.... that's all I remember, tho...

desk top is dell, bought same time as laptop, and i know it has a lot more memory and gameplaying capabilities than my laptop. I have an extra hard drive that i can plug in for both of them, but I don't know exactly what I need for the game... :shrug:

lol wolf named fenrir the Dragon eater....let him eat enough of the dragons you kill and he gets dragons bark which knocks down nearby foes...which then alows fenrir to go in for the throat/crotch bite kill....*laughs* now that would be a neat addition to the game. but thats just my thoughts/ramblings

That makes it...a bit more difficult.

Try to look for the model number/name. And when did you buy them?

Model # for laptop is G60-630US. I bought both laptop and pc in February or March of 2010. Does this help?

You would need a new graphics card. Other than that the hardware should be able to play the game fine.

Btw, upgrading laptop graphics cards is hard and I doubt a dell would be well designed for upgrades.

I'm afraid it can't run Oblivion. Intel graphics cards are known to be....pretty much low-end.

Your best bet is the desktop. Any idea of it's model number?

Okay, thanks! I'll have to look into it.



I knew that story sounded familiar! Can't believe I wasn't able to place it, being the history buff that I am! :facepalm:

most creatures in the wild in skyrim will run away from you or ignore you but as todd howard said "some are perminatly pissed off"
