well, bungie have a very very nice social community where we can see our stats in halo games, also some screenshots and things like those

a website (can be an extension of this forums) where you can look up other people's characters. I am guessing it would feature a picture of your character, a section for screenshots, the stats of the character, list of completed quests, inventory and perhaps a comparison of two characters. Not neccesarily just forums. Pretty much what Bungie has for the Halo games, but more in depth stats for obvious reasons. I very much like this idea as it would mean that my friends could say something like "my character looks awseome" and then I could just go on the website and take a look, rather than have my friend describe his character.

http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/cne/cne_viewchar.php?id=1684 Elder Scrolls Morrowind social network ( it was created 7 years after the release of the game and it was a succes)

I thought that's what this forum is.

Already implemented- you can find it http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/118-skyrim-general-discussion/.

EDIT: damn ninjas :facepalm:

this is the social network for SK, and any other games made by bgs.

No way, I already post on these forums.

no you dont get it, a social network that automatically take some specific info from your game like the appearance of your characters, the stats of your characters, stuff like that, this is a forum where you can speak and discuss and i'm speaking of something diferent.

please people READ well and see the examples i post

Well on the 360 you can to a certain extent. I can look at my friends Oblivion achievements and when they are playing the game I can see what level they are and what quest they are undertaking at that moment. While it may not be to the extent your talking about, I think its enough...especially for a non-multiplayer game. It makes more sense with halo than with a game like Skyrim. Also, like another poster stated, we have this forum. I often go to the character picture thread and look around at all the cool characters you have all created with info about them and what they are doing. That is more than sufficient for me.

Why does ES need anything like this?

ES already has the best community for any game series, its right here.

Adding social stuff like what they do in other games is completely pointless when the community for this series is already so strong.

Want to share your character and gameplay? Press print screen, upload to imagshack, post away about your game on these forums

I think he means a website where you can look up other people's characters. Like the OP said I am guessing it would feature a picture of your character, a section for screenshots, the stats of the character, list of completed quests, inventory and perhaps a comparison of two characters. Not neccesarily just forums. Pretty much what Bungie has for the Halo games, but more in depth stats for obvious reasons. I very much like this idea as it would mean that my friends could say something like "my character looks awseome" and then I could just go on the website and take a look, rather than have my friend describe his character.

then you want steam.

besides your wrong, this forum community can do all those things, its just not done automaticly. if you want to post pictures and states you can do so of your own volition. just start a thread for people to post character information. its done on the other tes pages, the only reason you dont see it on these pages is because the game hasn't been released yet. this is the community, there will probably be some other site in which your are thinking of but it wont have as many users as this site.

what? ok my english is very bad if you understand that, you won't be able to see what your freinds do in OTHER GAMES, you will only be able of see what they do in skyrim, got it, you will can see specific stuff like the items, the robes their characters are wearing, etc etc etc



i know we can do that (i'm not stupid) -_- is just a lot of work for xbox users, anyway this post was for automate that process



THIS (i will use your description)

I dont care, TES always have been a very personal game, even if there will be a such network i wount use it.

Sorta like In Fable3 where u can view your friends stats up to your own, but with screenies?

Don't care what people do in other games. This community has all that's needed: the ability for anyone who wants to share to talk about their adventures, show off their character and accomplishments, and talk about the game.

What you're yapping about is internet voyiurism: the ability to "peek through their windows and see what they're doing." Which is useless, it's not like knowing where they are in Skyrim and what quest they're doing will let you join their single-player game and catch up with them. Steam/Xbox LIVE/PSN will keep you up-to-date on which of their "Achievements" they've done, and the rest they can post should they choose to.

i know we can do that -_- is just a lot off work or xbox users, anyway this post was for automate that process

And by the way, how much should they spend on automating this process twice? See, you're talking about information that would have to be collected from Steam, XBL, and PSN then posted up in a fourth location...far too much work for what little it's worth, says I.

No. To me... Skyrim is single player in the game and outside the game, if that makes any sense.
These social networks would feel useless about comparing your characters. Things like that feels so mainstream and too "multiplayer-ish" and "non-TES-ish", if that makes any sense.
Speak and dicuss is something you can do on the forums or various fan-sites.
Furthermore, there are also huge modding communities on the Internet.

Most of these social networks aren't used much in games. Especially PC games. I have never used any of these social aspects of games, NFS:Hot pursuit is the latest one I don't use (but it is horrid to use that one, so poorly designed for pc).

Don't we have screenshot enabled to do this? Show friends what our characters look like? Maybe a website for the PS3/360 folks, but PC players have the ability to take a screenshot of their character (inventory/third person) and post on Facebook, Photobucket etc.

why make a second website, when this site can do every thing that has already been mentioned, minus automaticly recording and giving away member info (even if it is only info about their character). and I would be pretty displeased if they started doing that.

Thats what I meant in my earlier post.

I dont care about all that social stuff in other games or on steam, I never use it. I play my games, screenshot anything interesting, and use the forums.

And yea, I'd rather not have info automatically given away if thats what it does. That kind of sounds too MMO ish, where people can see your character profile and equipment and stuff. Its not required in anyway in single player games.

OK PEOPLE YOU DONT LIKE THE IDEAA, FORGIVE MY LIFEEEEE

I've only seen one idea worse than this. Co-op. This is honestly a waste of time and resources to implement, and here's a better question: what would be the point?

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I laughed so hard @ FORGIVE MY LIFEEEEE

Epic.

Maybe heat maps for areas you visit the most? Definitely stats for how many creatures/dragons/npc's you've killed, steps taken, hours played, and stuff like that.

I think Fliggerty's Census and Excise Office mod for Morrowind was quite a good idea. We could upload our characters to his site and check out the characters of other people.
