In oblivion, there was alot of moutains that would be fun to jump off of. Even moders did it with the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NOFaCGKHvI, so why can't skyrim have the same. I could work similar to that mod where you equip the item then jump of a place, or it could work like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PdfePEDKNk&feature=player_detailpage#t=78s where you jump and hold X when you want to use it.

So you my be thinking, "Oh magnificent and wonderful Matt, how could this system work in such a way?". Well what if a parachute was really hard to get, I mean you have to find it and do alot of different stuff to get it, but not hard enough you want to quit. And once you got it you could keep it, but like armor, after awhile it would start to fail on you and could end up getting yourself killed. It would work like all other clothes, you would put it on as normal, then when you are falling from- lets say however high it would take to kill you- then you could hold
a certain key or button that would initiate the process and you would slowly fall.

Thoughts?

DISCLAIMER: If we keep this thread going, they might put it in!

Or you could just try to land on a random object. I've been saved by tan jugs jumping off of Dive Rock to that camp many times. Or simply not jump off of cliffs.

Make hang gliders out of dragon wings, or use slowfall spells. Parachutes can get caught on things, and it's probably not worth adding. Dragon wing hang gliders would be cooler, and slowfall spells work fine.

Also parachutes can get set on fire by dragon breath.

Bring back the Slowfall spell in the Alteration school, and leave the parachutes with the guns.

Seems kinda out of place, but honestly if it was in the game, I wouldn't complain. :thumbsup:

Edit: Compeletly forgot about slowfall! Yeah, just bring that back, fits in way better!

whats the fun of that when you could jump of Dive Rock and use your parachute to land far away safely.

yes. the title is too long. next time just try "Parachutes". and no. they don't really belong in TES, the magical equivilant is slow fall and I think it was excluded in OB to prevent its use to climb on top of walls in cities and for a particular thieves guild quest.

Well, Flying Boats arent exactly verified for Skyrim.

Couldn't agree more.

Uh no because Parachutes don't exist in the Elder Scrolls universe.

Not yet.

But I agree, bring back slow-fall and leave out parachutes.

To bad parachutes don't add jack to gameplay, not to mention don't fit in whatsoever with the fantasy setting. Oh, and, of course, Lore. If you want parachutes, use the modding tools to make yourself one. What sounds fun to you, doesn't to others.

ummmmmmmmmmmmm, no

guns=/= parachutes


did you watch the video?

This x 1000

Let's fix that shall we.

i imagine a giant leaf...

There's so much that can go wrong with parachutes. Why would you even want them? Dragon wing hang gliders would be so much cooler.


Or this.

Or levitation.

what is the fun of ingame falling if you don't go 10000 kmph??? Levitation could work, fall untill your at the bottom then suddenly levitate.

Or a slowfall spell of course, already mentioned here.

Sliding down for the win? skiing ?

I just looked at this and it's more of a hang glider. It looks more like a novelty thing and could be modded in just like that one. I still prefer dragon wings but that's just personal taste.

I think that slowfall potion could do the trick actually.

As others have said: Slowfall.
