when you are sitting down and you eat something from they should put like a video or something showing you eating or drinking whatever you got also if there is something on the table you have the option to get it or eat it and the same if you chose to eat it you can see yourself eating or drinking it in 1st or 3rd person view. And also when you talk to a random person you have the option to type what you want to say.

the typing would never work.

Option to type what we want to say? Sounds simple but I do not really see that happening in modern games to be honest

"And also when you talk to a random person you have the option to type what you want to say."
This isn't going to happen. I believe you need to do some more research of how horrible this would have turn out. It may sound good on paper, but fantasies are better left as fantasies, and then do the best of it. If they'd implement something like this it would mean that it would take ages to get right, especially considering they'd have to take grammar into consideration. An error in your grammar or spelling and suddenly the NPC would think you're mentally challenged.

It's something that sounds good, but it performs awfully bad, unless they delay it by another couple of years which is not financially possible.

Is that you Peter Molyneux?

At which point you might aswell make or mod the game. If you typed your responses the NPCs would need to be incredibly smart or generated dialogue.

Which wouldn't work with a voiced game. There's the general keyword system from past RPGs but that's not what you refer to.

Hyperrealism a bit however if I recall there's a general eating/driinking animation. Atleast in BGS's FO 3 and Obsidian's New Vegas.

A 3rd person switch to it wouldn't be cool. At all.

i think iv seen the typing thing done before, it is too clunky to be in skyrim i think

and the animations, if they are optional then put 'em in

Type in what you want to say?!?! The only game that did that well was that DS game but the entire premise of the game was simply writing words and having the game respond. It wasn't a giant open world game like Skyrim so they could do it. Something like this would never work in Skyirm becuase there are millions of things the player could say and there are hundreds of npcs that would have to have their own responses to what you say.

Npc's reacting to any speech you type? You want true A.I. What you get is a bunch of scripted routines and responses, with some randomisation between strictly defined limits.

The typing thing would require some very advanced AI as well as realistic voice synthesis. And video games aren't even close to achieving those two things yet.

hmph

I forget, but there was a movie, and in the very beginning a kid was playing a 80's PC game about a evil wizard or something, and he types out his "attacks"

the name of the movie is bugging me! :banghead:

ok so the typing was a horrible idea and yeah i have bad grammar but what about the animations.

problem is, eating food is menu based (poss HK? cant remember) so it would drop you out every time. Plus it would have to be toggle-able. and if food gives you health and you are despite in a fight...well...

The animation package is there though. I think I recall seeing NPCs eat food in other Beth games...

How is typing in what you want to say realistic? :huh:

Why should the game be more realistic? Games are for entertainment. Realism can enhance entertainment, but the things you mentioned won't. I don't want to wait until my character is done eating. That's boring. And typing stuff isn't even realistic.

Dragons and magic = realistic. Okey dokey.

While I don't agree with the TC's suggestions, I hate this argument. Just because there are mythical creatures and magic doesn't mean that it completely throws all aspects of realism/verisimilitude out the door.

I mean, why should the player character be able to die? It's unrealistic if he can't die? Well THERE'S MAGIC AND DARGONS SO IT DOESN'T MATTER!

bad ideas i think. No it wont be more "realistic".

Until computers have the power to dynamically anolyze text and deduce a meaning, as well as generating a real sounding voice based on the response, this wont happen.

First of all, 2 things:
1. Please use punctuation marks, it will make understanding your text easier.
2. When you say "X should have Y", you should explain why, otherwise you sound like some ignorant dictator.

On topic though... I would never want them to pull the camera into 3rd person for anything. For me it breaks immersion. If they could manage to do it in first-person, why not.

And about typing what you want to say... it has already been done. In the 80s and 90s (adventure games, FO1). The technology just isn't ready for that yet and I don't think it will be anytime soon.

The typing idea is interesting, but I doubt that it would work. The only AI I know of that responds to what you say is Cleverbot.com . To integrate that into a game would likely take up a ton of space, I believe.

On your other point of eating while sitting, yeah that's a good idea. But I doubt that Bethesda has put that in.

No, just.. no.
