Snakes in Skyrim would be fun : V

» Sat Nov 14, 2009 3:52 am

Dont you think that would be fun? i mean it's defiantly not much but i read some guy's comment on having snake pits and i thought that would be really fun. Probably not challenging since it would only take 1 chop and the snake would die but still. Also having a snake as a pet would be fun to.

*UPDATE* Snakes (serpents) have been confirmed!

IMO, snakes don't fit the world of Skyrim.

Maybe if it was in Black Marsh or Elsweyr.

Anything that adds to the atmosphere I welcome.

I see that as a pain in the *** to the gameplay.
You would be running happily around a camp when *PAWN* you get bitten by a filthy snake.
It sounds just like those damn Cliff Racers, but on the ground.

No thank you!

There are ([deciduous/ fall] forest; marsh) areas in skyrim aren't there?

Sure, why not. A giant snake tunnel at the bottom of a cave.

I wouldnt mind snakes in the game, just not in the mountains/wherever there is snow. Keep them in the forests.

But you could shout fire at them or Fus Roh Dah them into Oblivion!

If they are in I want to see the Samuel L Jackson quote from Snakes On A Plane but replace the F word with Fetcher.

Snakes don't live in cold areas generally.

But every game needs that one annoying enemy to bring it down....

wiat... nevermind, kill them with FIRE! :flamethrower:

Snakes live in Canada, Russia, Norway, Denmark and a bunch of other cold countries. Heck, Norway and Denmark have a poisonous viper. Not to mention all of Skyrim isn't cold.

I don't think you would be able to have snakes in a game realistically without having them be major annoyances. Once you get bit your dead pretty much, they wouldn't be that great to fight either. If you see it you win and if you don't you die.

Not as an enemy, just something you happen to see slithering across the ground now and then, throw a fireball at, and eat (yummy)

I'm already going to have to deal with giant spiders, I don't think I could take snakes.

Snakes...why did there have to be snakes...come on, sombody had to say it!

Snakes would work with skyrim I think,

» Fri Nov 13, 2009 7:19 pm

Personally I'd love to see some giant snakes, would fit better in Skyrim than the little things, and could be awesome to fight.

» Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:07 pm

Only if they were big enough to actually hit.. none of that shooting at the ground with your bow 50 times while spinning in circles like a madman before you nail it.

putting in argonians is already cutting it close as far as cold blooded organisms at least argonians are intelligent enough to dress warmly or start a campfire not to mention they got more body mass than a spindly little snake meaning skyrims a bit to harsh for snakes even the warmer parts of skyrim would still probably be to cold

yes but only ounce in a while i wouldent want them to be very common the giant snake ideas cool too

Aye, I approve of the giant snakes.

Snakes in a Game? Where's my Sam L. Jackson mod?

» Sat Nov 14, 2009 1:09 am

No for two reasons:

1. They don't exactly fit the setting, they would fit better into a marsh or rainforest. (Yes I know, those arent the ONLY biomes that contain snakes)
2. I can't see snakes being easy to do without them looking stupid, and killing some immersion in the game.

My thoughts immediately went to the giant snake scene in Conan the Barbarian. Definitely yes (and add more usefulness to cure poison spells or potions). Dragons are in it already anyway (and giant spiders) so snakes seem fitting to me.

a giant snake in a cave and then i can wear his head as my reward
