Awesome mod, a little over the top though

Maybe we just want taverns especially because they are the only part of the game that is lacking in being "alive".

Our opinions are disgusting, but your the one suggesting that caves and ruins should be more "alive"? Seriously?

The taverns in Morrowind and Oblivion was never really that exciting. I think this is something Bethesda should do something about. When I walk into a tavern, I want it to be alive, not just a few random boring NPC's sitting att a table talking about the weather. I want taverns to be a place where you can find all kinds of interesting peoples. Where you can talk to Mercenaries about battles and job offers. Where you can listen to drunken conversations, and sometimes pick up unique info. I want it to be music, drunken nords hitting on the waitress and getting denied and being kicked out by the owner. I want to see scary looking npc's sitting in dark corners and talk about criminal activities. If you walk into the wrong tavern(owned by evil factions or something) you have to be on guard to avoid trouble, or make trouble. Off couse this is not the case if you are a professional bar brawler ^^ But offcourse there should be nice and cozy taverns too, just make the place alive Bethesda

I still feel like you guys are missing the point. One person even argued that the game should NOT feel alive, but only taverns.... simply disgusting opinions.

This thread is pointless and losing steam fast. I'll say it again. The GAME needs to feel alive. Once the game feels alive, so will taverns. Because, they are part of the game, correct? Bethesda has all but confirmed that we will see more alive towns and interactions with NPC's. So the things you are asking for, have pretty much already been confirmed.

I honestly think you guys spend way to much time in taverns. Even if they felt like the most realistic place in the game, I still wouldnt spend much time there, other than to get my quest and GTF out of there. Seriously what is there to do? Get in a bar fight? RDR had this. It failed miserable. Drink? Many games have had this, and it gets old very quick. Watch other people dance and sing and drink? WTF? Does that really sound like fun? These are fun features that the first time you play through you say, oooh neat. After that, you dont even notice them.

I dont want anything to do with a tavern, not because I dont like them. Because this game isnt about taverns, its about exploring the wilderness and living the life I cant in real life. If I hung around in the tavern, I may as well shut the game off and go to the bar.


To make the taverns more realistic, you should get thrown out if you arent doing anything but hanging around like a creep.

Btw I hope there will be some prosttute around, at least for the presence, that fits just fine in a tavern.

Have you seen this ?

There are no original or exceptionally good ideas in here.

Quests in taverns. Done. Its been in previous games, so its likely to make a return.
More lively, believable taverns. The radiant AI is supposed to help immensely with this. Taverns have been confirmed to play a bigger role.
People playing games, music, etc in taverns. Confirmed in the gameplay trailer.
Fights havent been confirmed, but have been in other video games. Overall, a poor, boring feature that gets old quick.
Taverns being cozy, etc. Confirmed by trailer and screenshots.

I'll tell you what. I'll stop posting here, you keep writing letters to SANTA CLAUSE Bethesda and I'll mind my own business.

No, your right. I'm completely stoked about how the taverns look in Skyrim.

I accidentally referred to the past games as "the game" making you think I was talking about Skyrim.

what i dont get is how you can say that this is the one thing lacking of A GAME THAT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED, NOR OF WHICH ANY SUBSTANTIAL INFO HAS BEEN RELEASED.

Oh, well nice information... that would have sufficed


Logical, I see. Ok, but has anything that we've been discussing confirmed anywhere? Care to share any links to back up your logic?


You know some of us have used the seach function and went through many topics and posts. If you have an enlightenment with a reference in the form of a link, that would really help. I cannot say logically that taverns will be more 'alive', and I'm certainly not going to make assumptions based on your logic. I don't feel like going through the 13 or so pages of threads when searching Tavern a second time. So if you've found anything in the search, please provide something other than logic please.
