Throwable wands : V

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:57 am

It has been established that there will be wands and staves (I think that's the correct plural version??) will be in this game. this is old news. But what I think could be a cool last minute feature is throw-able wands. It may sound silly but listen. Imagine setting a delayed spell on your want like "inflict fire damage on self" and then throw your want at your opponent who will most likely try to pick it up to use it against you. And once he tries to cast a spell. Whoosh a splash of emerald fire engulfs them. Would this be an awesome feature for a DLC if it is not in the main game?

isn't that what the runes in the school of destrucion are for?

Basically you're asking for NPCs that pick up and use dropped items. If Radiant AI can cause NPCs to try to return dropped items to you , it should allow them to equip and use them as their behavior package dictates.

When were wands confirmed?

And this would only work if you knocked their weapon out of their hand. Similar to Fallout 3 and NV's system were you can shoot it out and they try to pick up a new one. Unless there is a perk for disarming an opponet I don't see this happening.

As long as I can shoot the wand with a musket or no one younger than 17 can pick it up after I threw it and as long as it was done before the game ended .... I think I'd be OK with it.

Sorry for being a bit sarcastic but I'm kinda getting tired of this. The development process is over and there are official threads for ideas for future games. Some of us are actually here to learn discuss Skyrim as it is.

It really just feels like you are crying out for attention, which unfortunately I am supplying by simply writing this .....

You again? Is this your substitute for grenades since you want firearms? All your threads have been locked. You and Altmer Illusionist joined within 4 days of eachother. Hmmmmmm....

Well, the only way an NPC will pick up the staff is if he/she doesn't already have a weapon, which is highly unlikely. Or, you'd have to use a disintegrate weapon spell on them, which IMO would take out all the fun. I'd prefer to stick with the cursed hood/pants/other weightless item trick (assuming it's still in).

Whats funny is that, when you post something the entire forum instantly comes to the thread! :lol:

OT: And I dont like your idea.

odd, I've never heard of wands being included.

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 4:41 am

Thing is, i had a mental image of a bandit with a wand sticking out of his eye but in all honesty OP i don't think it'll happen and are wands even in the game?

they are in the trailer.

Alright, let me clear this up for you.

The Elder Scrolls series is NOT Fallout.

If you want to play a game like Fallout, then you play FALLOUT, not TES.

runes work pretty much how you described these throwing wands except there more of a landmine also i believe throwing weapons where confirmed to be out.

Now that I actually know who Altmer Illusionist is I can agree with you. This IS Altmer Illusionist..

It's kinda like a warrior trying to use a wand. He can't figure out the magic side of it so he just throws it at his opponent instead hoping to get them in the eye or something.

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 4:27 pm

Of all the things they could have and they included wands? jeeeze....

This is not what is considered a "feature", and making a DLC for this would be strange. You said "it sounds silly but listen". Well, with all due respect, I "listened" and its still silly. My honest opinion.

Link and exact time in the trailer or it didn't happen

but silly or not it would certainly be fun.

I wonder if I'll be disciplined if I tell you to just [censored] off...? :dry:
Also, I approve, the more emerald coloured flames the better.

in other words magical grenades? Seems pointless as you can just send a fireball at a target instead.
