The Hate Fan! : V

» Wed May 18, 2011 4:53 am

Very short:
Oblivion had the Adoring Fan. But since this idea is rather used-up, why not add a hate fan to Skyrim, someone who will complain at everything you do that isn't befitting a Champion such as yourself?

Scenario:
You drop a daedric weapon on the ground, and the Hate Fan comments "You IDIOT! Stop throwing away such fine gear in the middle of the street. Use the garbage bin, you twit!"

OR:

You fight a dragon and when it dies, your Hate Fan comments "Oh my, are you deranged?!! My clothes are all scorched, thanks you and your impeckable laziness. Yeesh!"

"The Jeering Fan" - who would say such things like, "You call THAT a sword swing? My grandmother could connect better and she's 90!"

I can't see the point in making a NPC that will only be alive six seconds

Sounds like the entire population of Bowerstone, yes I know you saved us all from tyranny, but do you really call that a gift?

Sounds like you want to have indefintely what sometimes happens to Bethesda in this board: people complaining at everything you do.

:woot:

*Count me out!*

lol, if he was in the game the first thing I'd do would be leading him into a dark alley.

Morrowind had a ton of those short-lived people, especially as the PC got higher level. "You're no match for" THWACK! "Oooh." *thud* PC looks at stopwatch "Lifespan: 4 seconds."

Touché, the Adoring Fan was alive for at least seven seconds. :evil:

Only if it's a Bosmer. I really like this idea, for once.

At least the adoring fan lasted long enough to make it to the really high Dive Rock cliff thiny. This guy wouldn't even last as long as his dialoge. That said, I wouldnt' mind an npc like this.

Even more hilarious is if the npc is your rival (THINKS he's your rival, more like)

If he isn't killed by the player upon meeting him, eventually he'll be killed, charging a dragon to try to upstage the player lol.

I don't know, the Adoring Fan (along with Morrowind's Fargoth) often lasted less time. And of course, the Adoring Fan has lasted longer, and I think the Jeering Fan would too: long enough for the player to cook up ever-more creative means of disposal for the "Fan."

Instead of a fan, it could be your spouse, nagging at your "good-for-nothing hide" I.e. that it's possible to marry in this game. :teehee:

Instead of a fan, it could be your wife. I.e. that it's possible to marry in this game. :teehee:

There is one they fear. Dragonborn. There is one he fears. His wife.

...not sure if its gonna sell, but an interesting idea none the less.

The sales of silence spells would shoot through the roof though.

The Loathing Fan

One might wonder if those spells are generally sold at a higher cost in Skyrim than in the other parts of the continent, considering the nature of Nords lol.

Everyone loves to hate the Adoring Fan. :tongue:

Would be cool. :goodjob:

"How appropriate you fight like a cow!"

They made the adoring fan, though. And Gaenor.

But a hate fan? So, you mean, a True Fan? There's my snark quota for this forum on this day, enjoy it.

Awesome idea :biggrin:!
And make him essential, so the only way to get rid of him is to use the creation kit. Just the kind of incentive new players of the TES series need to get started with the creation kit!

EDIT: Ohh! And he should also complain about you not using spears or make your own spells!
"What kind of half-assed spells are you using you idiot?!? I've seen clowns at kids' parties use more powerfull spells than you!"

Or at least make him essential for some amount of time.
