Exactly

I heard in an interveiw that key NPC cant be killed, they will become "unconcious" like in OB

Hmmm... I know I never go on killing sprees... and if I do, I always load afterwards of course.

What I'm curious though is why it would take months of development to make this possible. I mean... NPCs are killable by default right? It's just an option to tick in the world editor I think. Don't see how this would take months of development...

exactly, this was confirmed a while back...like in March...so why all of a sudden did it take "months" to make everyone killable....you already have RS to handle broken quests...so if someone is deliberately KILLING EVERYONE I don't see where the work is in doing that....



gonna chalk this one up to Pre oblivion talk about how every Tree was hand placed in Cyrodiil.

Isn't sleeping in someone else's bed already confirmed?

Generally Dragonborn I think these articles are copy paste or some farce because in the video interview posted earlier this month he SAYS you can...not "we're working on it"

"How do you lockpicking?"

There are a lot of grammar mistakes in this interview. Was it translated from another language?

Yea, I found it odd because there was that info just the other day stating we could sleep in other peoples beds.

You're not getting it, it doesn't take work to make everyone killable, it takes work to make a game where killing everybody, is a viable option that does not break the game.

sooner he said "you cannot kill children"

now he says "you can kill entire towns"

Am I the only one who is confused? :facepalm:

I think it's assumed he means except children. If one kills everybody though, I hope the kids disappear.

I dunno, it would be extrememly weird to see children just dissapear. or entire towns populated only by children.

thats kinda dumb options. And i wonder how they will react to the lack of parents, if they... anyway, lots of thinkings. nothing makes sense

I obviously don't mean disappear in front of your eyes. The point of unkillable children is just that the game will be headhunted if it's allowed by the player. The children are still supposed to be mortals, so it would be nice to not have a game full of children because you killed all the advlts. If it's like Fallout 3, the children will run away when you try to attack them. So when they are far away from you and out of sight, it would be nice if they don't show up again, so one can assume they died in the wild.

DayDark....if you kill everyone....a broken game is the least of concerns k?

in MARCH it was stated here from an article that there are still essential characters, some people were like (censored) others didnt care.


now it took months work to make everyone killable? again they Have Radiant story to handle that, if THATS what he ment by Months of work then say it, but his tone of annoyance like they made painstakingly hard efforts to bring a feature that "rarely" is ever used is just more PR talk.

if your KILLING everyone in the game, Broken quests arent a concern...

I know I might sound abit annoying,
but what if you are stuck to the corner with a bunch of children? and you guys have no where to run. it will be weird watching them running in circles, taking fire and everything...
I mean, stuff can happen. and what if the town is being sieged? I heard somewhere it could happen. kids shouldnt be too stupid and run to the hands of the enemy

Can't you slay everyone in NV?

sound like cliff racers

Ugh! Why do children have to be in the game. Other than that it was a good read.

I don't think it is just the quests. The new economic system, criminal system, and just shopping in general may be affected. They have mentioned in the past how chopping wood can increase the arrow production of a certain area, which will lower prices. Imagine how the economic system will be changed if the entire town is eliminated. No new items showing up, being able to take anything you want, turning it into a lawless "bandit town" where people are aggresive within the city limits. It takes a lot of time to think of all of the things that such an act could cause, and then code them into the game so that they work, and have no unintended outcomes, and aren't just scripted events.

I have never thought of doing it in the past, but with all the work they put into it, I want to give it a shot. Too bad I can't just poison the water to take them all out.

Hmm....



So perks are not gained every level but instead you can choose them when your skills get hight enough? :mellow: This is new isn′t it?

So lock picking is still a minigame. Wonderful. <_<

But persuasion isn't. :celebration:

I actually enjoyed the speechcraft mini game.
I mostly just bribed people though.(Hey, I RP'd a rich character :tongue:)

I actually think the radiant story is some of the months of work, but come on, you can't see how it can take months of work, when you have a economy system, an lords and earls, with political infighting, wiping out an entire city is supposed to have major consequences, sending ripples across the entire game as every person in touch with that city is gonna have to be adjust in order for the game world to keep turning. Quests must be turned off, or adjusted, so you don't get a quest to go to a person who is dead, or save a city which is desolate. The worst thing they could do is just make everyone killable, and then just do nothing else. He didn't specifically say you could kill everyone in the game, but that you could wipe out a city. Besides, Skyrim is supposed to be an entire country, there's no possible way that you could realistically kill everyone, my guess is that there will always be some npc's around.

Anyways, if I wipe out a city, I want the other cities to react to that, I want a freaking army to hunt me down, or a similar reaction. Think of GTA, you can go on a killing spree, the game recognizes your actions, and gives the appropriate responds, tanks, helicopters, military, swat. If I start killing everyone in Skyrim, I want skyrim to defend itself.

As he mentioned, fighting is also a "mini-game." It doesn't just look at your health, weapon, etc. and then decide who wins. I'm glad that there is still some player influence in the lockpicking.

I hope it is some combination of only being able to pick some locks (lick FO) but not a specific cut-off. Give each lock a skill value. If your skill is more than 15 above the lock, it opens automatically. If it is within 15 of you, you have to lock pick it. If the lock is more than 15, but less than 30, a failure jams the lock. Anything more than 30, and you can't even try, because it is way beyond your knowledge. Something like this will make the skill more useful than in Oblivion, without making certain levels useful (25,50,75,100) like in FO. As for the actual minigame, I don't really care. I am hoping for something more engaging than Oblivion, with it being in real time.
