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 was thinking, maybe for the more quiet taverns (still alive though) making a point out of having a large fireplace where people might gather up and share stories? (I'm such a svcker for coziness)

You know, when I go to a bar or anything like that which would be similar to a tavern in TES, there's always at least half a dozen people standing on the outside smoking. That's when I think "Yes, this is a place with a liquor licence".

(Not implying they should implement that in the game though, it'd look kind of ridiculous. Realistic, but ridiculous.)

The taverns in Morrowind and Oblivion was never really that exciting. I think this is something Bethesda should do something about.

You're saying that there is a smoking ban in taverns in Tamriel? Talk about being ahead of their time!

Agreed and this could be said for all of the game needs more npc's they dont even have to have a lot of dialogue lol but fillers would be nice!

This thread is so awesome ^^ full of great suggestions and nice people

I'd actually like having generic NPCs in the game, at least out on the city streets and in taverns - it'd be so atmospheric, stepping into a dark tavern and pushing through crowds of strangers to find an informant for a quest.

Basically, we want Taverns to be like they are in every Fantasy novel but in virtually no videogame.




Initially I hated that idea, but now, having seen it work in Daggerfall and Fallout, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Skyrim should begin with your character being thrown out of a bar and face-first into the snow after a brawl. :hubbahubba:


Read that in Sean Connery's voice. Well done.

aproved
not enough rough humor in the game.

but to improve on this i think each race should have a choice of where they start based on the class they choose.
so if your a bard, or a warrior, or a barbarian, of orcish or nord decent than you start in the bar getting your ass kicked.

Then you come back later in the game, find the people who kicked your ass, and shove a claymore through their ribcages, right?
