Well I more meant I was afraid they'd make it like opening the smithing tag... choose what armor you wanna make... the normal version of that armor will now be yours...

If you see anything else missing please say so...

And also how come people want werewolfs but not werebears!?... they're in lore...


Along with many, many other were creatures... I can see their point though, for some reason i dont know if i want werebears. I just want werewolves i think. I heard mention of weresharks in the lore also??? Hmmm... no thanks.

As for the animal AI, i had never thought of it in depth such as the ideas within this thread. It would actualy make a lot of sense having animals react and group how they would in real life in the wild.

A little more variety would be nice, but it should never detract from the main focus of the game. These kinds of things should be to enhance the experience and give it a more realistic feel.

I was disappointed that there was almost no life in the waters of Cyrodiil. Morrowind's waters were ok- at least they had some activity to give them a bit of a lived in feel. Even if there were just some varieties of fish that swam around but didn't attack you would be fine.

Well I've always wanted alot different lycanthropes... always wanted to become a werevulture of valenwood... but in this case (reason I deleted the werecreatures) a quarter of the people who voted werewolf also voted werebear (seperatly), then the other quarter just voted werewolf and the final one voted the werewolf AND werebear option... it could be confirmed because if you calculated (example) 40 people voted, amount voted on werebear was (example) 10 werewolf was 25... and then there were 15 people who voted werewolf AND werebear...

Cows, pigs, rats, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, elk, deer and fish. I love common animals and I want to have plenty of them in Skyrim. :celebration:

As for the sea and coast, they could have seels, killerwhales, walrus and various fish.


Hey, walruses are probably in the game. I've seen parts of them in the "Arts of Skyrim" video. Maybe they were horkers though. Jepiee anyway.

I don′t want fish species that don′t kill, it would be fun if every single fish in Nirn went on a murderous rampage and frenzy at the sight of humanoid blood :D Little fishies nibbling at my feet :) Not every fantasy world has to have pacifist fish do they ?

Well... none taken... a thing I miss about Morrowind was that while Morrowind had 4 fish races Oblivion only had one... while Morrowind had one flying race... Oblivion had none (the imps weren't flying they were animated...

I wasn't bothered clicking all the boxes in the poll. Suffice to say, I want all of those animals and monsters, along with many, many more. :P

Agreed! But I still can't believe people voted of Anteras' Trolls... how can anyone vote for Oblivions trolls instead!?... and anteras' treant is far cooler than Oblivion (or Morrowinds) spriggan... the reason for me deleting the lowest voted creatures ('till theres 10 monsters and ten animals...) is because I really doupt Bethesda will make atleast 40 creatures... wouldn't mind it though...
oh and by the way... while posting in this pool... remember to do this... *...* ...or else your post will be considered... invalid...

Anteras is not canon in lore as far as I understand it, that′s why we (or atleast I) want nothing to do with his creatures. Nothing at all.

Edit: How far I know remains a mystery as of yet.

Well I can add more AI choices and such but not creatures... since they would get voted out the next day because everything else have a HUGE head start...

From my thread:

There should be so many more, like squirrels, birds, a few fish species that DON'T kill you

there can't possibly exist 10 different predators every hundred meter. It makes the game feel somewhat cheap. Make the encounters a little less common and more exciting, while you can still see prey animals roaming around.

Imagine you're wandering in the snowy pine forest. You see a squirrel running up a tree as you walk the trail. Later on (maybe 100 meters down the road) you can see a group of elks walk around among the trees. All of a sudden, one of those elks gets attacked by a troll, and another fight unveils.

There can be dense monster zones as well, but they shouldn't be evenly scattered. Hunting grounds for different predators would be great. If you want to level up, go into a cave or to a place where the trolls (if ou want to hunt trolls, that is) usually hunt.

I welcome all wildlife in Skyrim. But I think they should make bears and wolfs much more scary, in Oblivion and Solstheim they didn't do much. I want really fearsome looking bears, huge with pitchblack fur and long fangs and claws, If the player stumbles upon one in a cave or something it should be a really scary experience. We can hope they add werebears in the game, if so they can have little teddy bears wandering the wilderness, but if not, make bears much more brutal.
