I have no source, but I'm pretty sure the reason Skyrim is cold, is because of the height of the mountains, not because it's so north. If that' the case, I could imagineplenty of ships around the north border. I mean, Nords, I believe, are well known for thier awesome sailing skills.

Anyhoo, assuming it works well, I definatly want the ability to sail. I love the thought of going whale fishing with my Nordic Buddy's, too. (Or some kind of big water animal)

Yes too fishing. For some reason I like the idea of retiring at some point and just spend my time fishing. I'd love ships but how would they implement it programing wise to work on console?

I'm going to leave it at a maybe because I don't know what capacity you have in mind for ships. Ones you can actually drive or ones like Oblivion sitting there doing nothing ships?

Aw crap. I just realised there are no lakes or rivers in Skyrim. I guess it's just along the coast if we get boats/ships then.

It'd be cool if sailing was implemented into a hunting guild. As well as hunting land creatures you could hunt sea monsters. :)

They probably just haven't released them on a map yet. They can't have mountain ranges without rivers, all that mountain snow has to melt somewhere.

Hmmmm...it's certainly an interesting concept, however open water is only available along the northern border, I personally don't see that much fishing game in it, if we had an in-land sea or something then it could work. Anyways, voted maybe.

Being a proud nord of the real world (dane xD) I love sailing and I love the sea, so if the engine allows it, I would LOVE to see some actual sailing ships. This would've most likely not been possible with the old engine considering none of the previous games had any kind of vehicles, but considering it's a new engine I'll be putting my hopes up :)

if the borderline [censored] random guard chasing thing is still applicable, ships just might be the silver lining...now we grab our boats and sail away (though most will actually try to fight off all the guards even at level 2)

Rivers....big rivers...maybe?
But how about ice fishing! http://www.allkayakfishing.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=236&stc=1&d=1180816102

They probably just haven't released them on a map yet. They can't have mountain ranges without rivers, all that mountain snow has to melt somewhere.

No, no it doesn't. Glaciers, snow-covered peaks that don't melt, etc.

Orr...Do u want to fish BIG animals?Like whales with ur nord buddies?
Um, you're thinking way too small!

Imagine ice fishing througha hole....and you catch something...but can't get it through the hole. So you chop some ice out...still no luck...chop some more....then you see a nostril...and steam from said nostil...the ice melts around you...you're left on a chunk of ice, surrounded by water, hooked by some sinew and through a small hole in the ice to an extremely large, and annoyed, fire breathing dragon!! :chaos:

Or....the Erik the Viking bit where they meet the Sea Monster (I can't find the clip..it's classic!)

I would be happy if ships that aren't static objects anymore and to see them work in a virtual economy driven by NPC's.
To be able to row or sail a boat would be great too.

Don't really care much about being a hunter or a fisher, but I would be interested to be able to start your own trading company. ^^
Just have a quest where you need to find business contacts, crew member, a licence, a boat and you're ready to go.
Essentially it's just the same as any faction, except that you start it yourself from the ground up.

This poll is a good call, with a Nord style setting big fantasy see monsters would be cool as a time-out from the main story
