I don't want to feel as though I need to fast travel. I want this game to constantly have new things happening, so that I feel that if I were to fast travel that I would be missing something important. On top of that, I want there to be things that emotionally bind you to the game and your character. I want followers that you care about, or perhaps a love interest, or hell I would take both. In fact, I think a family option would be great. A settle down-build a home option maybe? I want my house to feel like a home, not like another building. I want my horse to have a name, my sword to have a name, my house to have a name even. I want statues for my good deeds, songs to be sung by the random NPCs about my deeds, and maybe cult followings devoted to my character. I also think it would be great for your character to work his way from one town to the next. Like every where he went there would be odd jobs he could do for a while. I also want a camp sight. I don't want to fast travel, and the option to "settle down" at night would be great!

BUT DON'T MAKE IT FABLE!!!! lol

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: roll playing :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

what you mentionned here is ROLE playing, not ROLL lol. I totally HATE roll playing, and that's why I never got around to finish morrowind without using god mode

Hur hur roll play

Although I do agree with the OP

*Family - Not that cheesy crap from fable
*Friends - like they will come visit and bring over gifts and eat at your dinner table with you
*Enemies - they will talk crap about you in the tavern yo, and if your friends overhear it you will pop a cap in their ass

Alot of stuff should also depend on your status if you are a feared warlord im sure people would not talk badly about you

You mean role playing? Yeah I agree, but I think that Skyrim won't be that type of game, they're too busy making the perfect combat system and perfect graphics. Like you, I wish it was, but fortunately there's morrowind + tons of mods and daggerfall.

Isn't "True Role Playing" a bit of an oxymoron?

If you want "True Roleplaying" then a CRPG is not for you, I'd rather have Beth focus on doing a medium amount of things well than try to take into account an extremely large amount of things and fall short. I use Pen and Paper RPGs when I want to truly Roleplay, I use my CRPG for entertainment.

Then maybe ROLE PLAYING GAMES arent the best choice for you? Just sayin...

OP here,
no I am a huge fan of Oblivion and i enjoyed Morrowind too so this is the game for me. Oblivion is my favorite game i've ever played so far after all. I say role (got it right this time) playing because they are taking the time to make a massive world with a lot of character details so i say why not go just a bit further and add in some of the stuff i mentioned, so that if feels more like life in a game rather than just a game.

You can already do all that right now its called "LIFE" aka Real life.

It's ironic that "roll" playing is a derogatory term that PnP players use for people who just "roll the dice" and don't role play. Don't let the others bother you. You have the soul of a role player.

I don't use fast travel a lot in Oblivion. I have a rule I follow. I can fast travel from city to city, but if I go out into the wilderness, I can't use fast travel again until I get back to a city. I end up going out on expeditions, and I have to make sure I have everything I'll need until I get back. It can get interesting when I'm far away from a city, and I run into trouble. I love decorating my house. I can spend hours just moving things around, putting books on the shelves (which can be a real pain in the...). I like wherever I set up shop to be mine, to feel like home. In Oblivion, I put a sigil stone on one of my tables, and I don't know how it happened, but it actually floats there. I've never been able to reproduce it, but that one time, it worked. Cool as hell. I always name my magic items. Do you play on a computer? Because if you do, many of the things you like become available through mods.

That's cool man. I'm same way, except since i own every house, i try to decorate each one a little differently. but i play on the 360. my laptop cant handle oblivion and all its mods. plus i dont think anything beats relaxing in a good chair with an xbox controler in my hand, and i have played many computer games

I play Oblivion on the 360 too, but I play Morrowind on the computer. There are good mods for Morrowind, and you don't need a great computer to play it. My computer is kind of old, and I can play with a bunch of mods running. I bought Morrowind off Steam for $20. It's a great game. It's older, so the graphics aren't as good as Oblivion, but it makes up for it with the story and the game world. And there are texture mods you can get that improve the graphics without really messing with your fps.

THIS

but....
with technology now, who knows? with an open mind i bet you'd be surprised at how close video games can come to table top rpgs.
i can only hope that game is skyrim.

'True Roll Playing" That was a pun I hope.

I like this Idea

Just a point regarding the OP's accidental oops in the title - sure it isn't what he wanted to say, but remember, Roleplaying and Rollplaying aren't mutually exclusive, folks. Stormwind fallacy and all that.

There should be some crazy-strong monsters and stuff at night, making you want to hide away in a shack untill daylight. Vampires, or Werewolves, or ghosts. Something.

Yes TopKilla, exactly, its a game, not a real life simulator.

Thats what I thought too. :rofl:

Because most RPGs have you roll a dice, and some of people think an RP is all about rolling dice.......

:rofl:

"Have you heard the fall of Dagon yet? Take heart the mighty hero cried, he looked up at Dagon and cursed his foul namee_e"
:P

Wouldn't roll playing involve Rick Astley?

Pfft, I wouldn't hide from werewolves at night, I would find them and let them hit me repeatedly until I contract Sanies Lupinus.
