Now we know why Bungie passed over the future Halo franchise to 343 industries. For that is the new series of games Bungie will work on.

Haha hopefully! Quick, pitch it to them before it's too late!

And on an interesting side-note, the word fan boys (in one word) is censored on here for some reason =/ I don't see a huge use for it on a forum such as this anyways, so I dunno why it should be censored while words like titballs, anusbaby and blumpkin ain't <_<

I believe it's an activity to pass the time while people wait to die.

Also, extreme ironing, anybody?

Skyrim should have a Blood Bowl esque game. :P

I was about to suggest this when I saw your post. Yes!

In fact this idea deserves its own thread game.

Hahaha yes! Very good visual for a Monday at work, thanks! :D

To the subject, I don't think Tennis makes sense - but what Does make sense is that some kind of games take place (outside of the arena). This isn't Rome, and the inhabitants of Tamriel would likely be engaged in some kind of sporting event or typical gaming. Everything from kids throwing dice in the streets to gambling to more organized competitions might all be common-place in the era.

I think it would add some spice to have some kind of game included - it could add lots of conversation topics in taverns and might even spawn some quests for the player in which one team things another is cheating or throwing games, or when star players suddenly vanish, etc, etc. It would definitely add to the game, but I don't think that this idea is Necessary for Skyrim to be successful!

... :unsure:

The sheer amount of bewildering randomness I find in these Skyrim forums, unlike any others I frequent, is simply disarming and strange :blink: :sweat: :ahhh:

Since I saw that thread about some dude who wanted ice hockey in Skyrim, would it be a good idea for the devs to add tennis to this game?
Imagine, playing tennis while dragons fly around you! It would fit perfectly to the lore. Afterall, dragonborn could be a great tennis player. No?

WHAT?

Considering that there are ZERO sports in Tamriel that I've heard of, and considering that this is SKYRIM, land of the BARBARIC NORDS, I'd say nothing could ever be more wrong.

Not only does it not fit into a TES game at all whatsoever, but that requires a TON of additional programming just for something silly.

ROFL! I think I should get some credit for finding THE single most useless idea that anyone could possibly suggest to be implemented into this game :)
Haha, imagine a Nord playing tennis, in the land of Skyrim! Oh my dear God!

Edit: I wasn't trying to troll though, just create some good laughs :)

I like your sig.

Orcs think out side the box. They just smash the cube and say its broken.

Maybe if spell reflection reflected the actual spell projectile, then you could play Extreme Ganondorf Tennis with the enemy wizards.
