The solution to unreachable areas : V - Skyrim

» Sat May 28, 2011 11:52 pm

Cats have not yet been confirmed.

I think a good thing to add to Skyrim would be a trained Khajiit on a leash the player carries in their inventory and when set loose, this trained Khajiit on a leash will climb to high places the player can't reach and retrieve valuable items.

Thoughts?

Fixed it.

Although an Alfiq form Khajiit is similar to a housecat, but has human-level sentience. We see Suthay-raht form Khajiit in Oblivion/Morrowind.

Actually, I've changed my mind. It would be great if they had this - the majority of the time the cat would look at you like you were an idiot (as cats are wont to do), but on that odd occasion, they would do what you say. It would be as rare as winning the lottery, but just as fulfilling.

Er, no. The majority of the time it would indeed run off, and

A: Come back the next day with nothing (arriving unerringly at feeding time)
B: Come back the next day with a small http://garfield.nfshost.com/1981/07/05/
C: Come back the next day with an object other than what you wanted

Second most often, we'd have the "look at you like you were an idiot" response, then "on that odd occasion, they would do what you say. It would be as rare as winning the lottery..." and we're talking you'd get that repsonse maybe once in 20 or 30 full playthroughs. The "Do all quests and achievements in one playthrough then back to CoD" crowd would regard having one's cat do as asked to be a myth, as would roughly half (or more) of the playerbase anyway.

Now if it was a Naked Mole Rat, like in Kim Possible, then I'm all in.

I like this idea. I like it a lot. I will name him Mr. Kitty and he will have a black ring around his eye that looks like a monocle and we will be best friends forever and ever and ever.

That should probably work, however they are sentinel so you had to win it's respect and let it have it's part of the loot. Also the problem that they can not speak the standard language but understand it , however the Khajiit language they use should be possible to learn.

Had bee fun to run into some Alfiq anyway, more so as you might take if for a cat,

Lol, it's going to be a looooonnngggg 9 months.

the drug of hype and no new information is getting potent.

@OP you going to share this [censored] out, wish i could sit down and think of a way to implement a cat that climbs to unreachable places in a TES game or [censored] it just any game, I WANT YOUR IMAGINATION BRO.

every neuron in my head just exploded into millions of pieces. i would just rather have a climbing system, maybe like uncharted.

Oh yeah, them actually doing what you say should be practically unheard of. The achievement hunters would be split into two groups - those who knew it was impossible because they had cats, and those who thought it was actually possible... Maybe there could be an achievement worth nothing for those who purchased a cat for 5 playthroughs in a row: the "wishful thinking" achievement. Same with the "give up" achievement when their practically useless cat came back with some half dead bird or rat instead of loot for the 20th time in a row.

The hero of Skyrim. He stands 8 feet tall, with his battle axe that can cut through anything held firmly in his hand, slays dragons like it was a daily routine with his Dragon shout that can be heard throughout the land has a cat? AWWWWWWWW!!!! see how serious this is? see what this can lead to? ARE YOU CRAZY?? AHHHHHH!

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:28 pm

.....seriously?lol

» Sun May 29, 2011 2:10 am

Indeed.

I have two, and they love it when I pet them...

...when they WANT me to pet them. Any other time of the day they could care less what I'm doing.

Selfish bastards!!! Lol

@OP. Ummm... where you gunna stick this cat? And khajiits better hate you when you got a cat stuffed in your pack. Im under the impression they would be quite offended. Especially if its one of their kittens...

Of course. It's the "shucks and awww" campaign.

Wait..a..eh uh..what?

I think he speaks for all of us.

Why only cats?

edited^ forgot to quote. :turned:

because apparently only cats can reach high places. I agree though I would rather have a hawk or something. and what about mountains? he would release his cat, and it wouldn't reach the top of the mountain before he becomes an ice block.

Name one of'em the "They'll never learn..." achievement?

Thanks. My Mountain-Dew-soaked monitor wants 5 minutes alone in a dark alley with you for this.

How about a dragon in a bag? That way you can reach unreachable castles and you can carry a castle with you, at your will u can enter it to regenerate or just take a nap, dragon also can get the moon with clouds that way you can have it on your ceiling and not go outside to peek

It could work. Lands of Lore III had a familiar that you could send out to gather ingredients and stuff. Maybe a summon spell that conjures a creature that retrieves nearby items and brings them to you? It'd help for harvesting a bunch of alchemy ingredients and make summoning useful for more than combat.

that makes quite some sense) though how the author put his thoughts in this post was just too funny, I laughed out loud hehe)

I love cats, I have one sitting on my couch right now being sleepy and I would like to have cats in the game as pets. Or at least to wander around towns. But I don't know what to think of this idea.

Lol I don't know about yours, but the most I get from mine is some stuff smeared on their faces which I have to determine where it came from, whether I have to wash it off or if they are able to clean themselves without poisoning themselves. Let then stay in the houses and eat lasagne.

I should've got dogs...
