Sorry, didn't bother to read the whole post due to my mood. Usually I attempt to be unbiased as possible. Your idea as some sort of magical communications device has been used before. Like the magic crystal being used for telepathy spin. An item to give some sort of "broadcast" I wouldn't support unless it was some sort of technology made by....Dwemers do you call them?

Thats a great idea imo , so you can give him a comand too start playing on his instrument could be very amusing if you are in the middle of a dungeon hehe.

lolno

I just don't understand why something from Middle Earth would be in Tamriel they are completely different locations

just because one place had something, doesn't mean that it should be in another.

So sorry OP i'm on the no magic crystal radio side

However I would love minstrels and Bards in the Streets and Taverns playing their Lute and telling tales of epic battles, heroic adventures, mythical creatures, etc.

Nah, I'd rather have some http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbPWt5yzDLE with me.

Well I guess its pointless at this point to bother telling you guys about my idea for a wand that shoots teleportation portals, then...

No thank you.


Why would there be a dude playing music 24/7 inear a crstal ball like object?

Is he paid?

I disagree. Seems like to much, I'd rather there just be a bard in a tavern here or there playing a song or two. Or some traveling bards.

And a bard follower who will follow me and sing my http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZwuTo7zKM8.


DAMN IT MAZOOK!!!! Ninja'ed me....

If they bring back Mark and Recall, and/or Intervention spells and scrolls, and the ability to enchant items with spells like Mark and Recall and Intervention, you don't really need a wand.

I would love Taverns with Bards playing lutes and such but for radio....no way would that fit into my TES world.

what if there was a way of broadcasting your thoughts on a major scale, like a great welkin stone, or a great sigil stone, like how a Deadric Prince could make people hear voices, which is lore appropriate, and people with over 1 willpower could block the thoughts out if they pleased, plus those travling bards n ministruls sound like a bad idea, just think "For he's a jolly bad fellow, for hes- I WILL EAT YOU GUTS! HARGH! ' as he attacks a rat. and i would rather like it in a menu or spell.

and if the bards stay in one spot? horrible if i wont my horrible music to be played on the go, every one that posted on this forum supports my idea, not yours.

I don't think Tamriel is that Advanced that they will suddenly use radios. Culture wise it'll be the same as Oblivion but more Nord dominated and Dragons.

I have to agree with Alois on this one; any hamfisted Fallout inclusions in Skyrim (or ANY future Elder Scrolls installment, for that matter,) would make me cry bitter tears of disappointment and likely lead to flaming online rages which would result in many locked threads and my ultimate banning.

Although, that's not to say such a device could not have more practical utilizations.

Say, for instance, a quest requires that you infiltrate an enemy outpost to gather information on whatever. One half of said device could dropped in the path of two patrolling guards (or alternately planted on their person) and the other half kept in the inventory of said player in the safety of some dark niche somewhere. Guard A blabs to Guard B the location of desired place/door/treasure/mead stein and TA-DA! On to the next step...

Could work decently that way, but I honestly think that would be harder than the alternative, and thoroughly less satisfactory. :meh:

While certainly not the worst idea I've seen in my lurkings, it definately seems superfluous in almost every way. But just keep churning ideas around in that noggin of yours, and I'm sure you'll pan out some gold. I believe in you! :goodjob:


Agreed, but if any of them start following me around, begging for money, and generally blowing my cover like they do in a certain French-developed historical action game of high renown, I'm totally going to hidden-blade them in the throat and walk away. Synchronization BE DAMNED! :toughninja:

GOOOOOOOOOD MOOOORNIIIINNG SKYYYYYRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point, tho i was just making a Portal joke...

Thank...

Magic Radio? No.

this "camping" ideas is liked by me. IDEA TIME!: a companion (i make no refrence to Fallouts campanion system(i know how you little nerdlings are about your little magic games and the sorts *rubs little kids hair roughly*)) that has a guitar as a weapon, and while walking he will sing music, recvert back to my other post i lost my train of thought.

Not digging the magic radio concept, though at first I was intrigued with the idea that you could "bug" an NPC. In the end, I just don't like the concept.

However, I would LOVE to be able to hire a team of minstrels to follow you on your adventures, scream in terror whenever you fight anything, and write songs about your adventures.

"Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be smashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away.
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out.
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged.
And his nostrils ripped and his bottom burned off.
And his..."

Uh, that's enough music for now lads.

Then maybe you should just bite your tongue until you can form a cohesive thought.

::tousles :censored:'s hair::

I haven't read all every post, but did anybody here read the book.... I don't want to ruin it for you guys but if the book is considered connon there's already device in place before Skyrim that doesn't make the OP sound all that nuts.

hehe you just got my ticks...

I think your idea would be far more accepted if you never called it a radio, just talked about being able to set a listening stone down, walking away, and setting another stone down so that you can hear what's happening from far away. If you explained this concept first and in length, then later moved onto saying something along the lines of "As a bonus, we could set the stone in a tavern to listen to live music."

Your presentation of the idea is terrible for this audience, as it absolutely screams 'Fallout radio ripoff' and any 'ripoff' of Fallout is instantly hated in this community. You also managed to set yourself up for ridicule by questioning your own sanity and even making up a random name rather than setting the name as a blank slate.

Do I support your idea? No, I think it would be a gimmick and would end up being more trouble than it would be worth. Do I think this is a terrible idea? No, I think it was just presented poorly.

nice idea.

Please don't go distorting this thread with citations of anolagous precedents from the Elder Scrolls literary canon. You're at risk of ruining everything that has been achieved here.
