It would be very good, especially if they plan to make darkness realistic.
*I'm in a cave and notice a zombie drooling and going at me, I just toss the torch on the floor, pull out my sword and jell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpE_STh3E8I*

Moment I saw this thread I thought Minecraft. Placeable torches would be awesome and very useful to light up those dark areas.

Hah, I thought the same thing as soon as I saw this topic.

Everyone knows oxygen freezes at precisely 1.2 miles north of Bruma, duh

I loved having the variety of candles and lanterns in Morrowind (even just from the vanilla game, although I used mods to add more!) that I could move around. To get anything like that in OB I had to use mods from the outset, I am definitely in favour of portable light sources that stay lit when you put them down - whether that is dropping torches in a dungeon, or putting a candle on your dinner table or a lamp by the door to your house to light your way home!

I missed that so much in Oblivion and I hope portable light sources (of any kind!) make a welcome return in Skyrim.

So probably one of the greatest mods from Oblivion, even though it was simple, was the ability to drop torches on the ground, so if you were a melee character without night-eye or light spells at your disposle, you could still go through dungeons without sacrificing the ability to use a shield or 2h weapon.

I haven't done much reading up on skyrim, so I might have missed something addressing this, but what would you think of the ability to either place torches, or create like a sort of fire in certain areas, instead of running around with a torch in your hand

Yes

Torches would be great, since we all know creepers spawn in the dark....

*evilly plans to mod in creepers*

Don't worry. This is a mod I will attempt to create it Skyrim doesn't have it.

My idea is to edit SOME dungeons, not all (mainly the ones that are populated), and add unlit torches. When you hold a torch, I'd program some button you press when looking at an unlit torch, to light up the way. It would work great with a "Let There Be Darkness" type of mod.

I want placeable torches back!!

Yeah, yet another thing taken out of Morrowind to simplify Oblivion.
Would be nice to have back.

Why did they even get rid of that option to begin with? Torches and candles were perfectly fine the way they were in Morrowind.

lol "morrowhine" I love it :rofl:

On topic: Yeah I think it would be a nice thing, i'd like to place a few torch around my camp at night and with dynamic shadows i'm sure we'll get to see some very neat effects

This will really be cool with dynamic shadows.

Well if were using a trap approach .....may have intresting results

Lol, Indiana Jones! This would actually be really cool if I could throw the torch.

Yeah, I remember using them as markers when I got lost in dungeons.
I hope they bring this back

Good idea.

I hope they bring back the blue lanterns and candles from Morrowind.

Oh yes. And travel lanterns. And let you place them where you want without having to use telekinesis. I want to decorate my house again with candles.

Those candles were great. I remember loading up my strongholds with candles.

Yes to placeable torches!
And placeable candles and lanterns!

In Morrowind, I collected hundres of these, then put around all my stronghold so it looked like a shining sanctuary

It was great and fun!

That's a lot of candles! I'm sure it would look AMAZING in Skyrim with the dynamic shadows.

Ever download "Drop Lit Torches" for Oblivion? Thats exactly what I want Skyrim to have, draw out my equipped weapon and my torch falls to the ground while I fight. I go back, pick it up and go back to scanning the dungeon.
