Will I be able to throw coins to distract guards? : V

I think it would be cool to be able to toss a gold coin to distract guards ie if you're sneaking around a castle doing some stealing.

small simple addition for lots of fun gameplay moments.

Just a question, no flame wanted:

How do you pretend us to know if it will be possible? None of us has played it already... Would it be cool? Sure, but atm, nobody but Beth knows it, and they won't answer us here.

I did this on assassins creed... Poison a guard with a spear/halberd near a lot of people and keep throwing coins at him, let the carnage being. :flamethrower:

All you need to do is to drop your enchanted warhammer and they'll kill eachother for it.. Although i hope not.

For us to be able to distract guard with money, we'd have to be able to drop it, which we have not been able to in the past games. I don't think that the guard would react on a few coins though, if something, they'd be more careful and maybe even call a few more guards to search the area. It worked in assassins creed because the guards might not have been loyal to they payer, but in Skyrim the guards probably will be loyal, due to the house-system of the nords.

why everytime when someone suggest something,other ppl will relate their idea to other games?that doesnt make any sense at all

There's no telling if there is a mechanic like this in the game, but it would be nice to be able to distract opponents by tossing something to distract them so you could sneak by them or find a place to hide.

...maybe water arrows to put out torches, or better yet... get this... noise arrows!

Because their idea relates to other games.

Because some of the best ideas have come from collaborated projects. But some people are just too good/ignorant to realize that. Using someone elses idea isn't necessarily a bad idea all the time. Especially when it's something as small as this.

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SC- ooh shiny gold coin!

» Sun Jul 18, 2010 3:22 am

As magic is pressent in TES games, I suppose it would be more appropiate to have an ilusion spell making a noise where it hits.

It'd be nice to be able to drop gold again period. I miss arranging stacks of the stuff in my house and finding Sixth House symbols spilled out on the floor of dungeons in coins.

Excuse me?

... considering they got the idea from seeing it implemented in other games, sure it makes sense.

I don't think we'll be able to remove gold from the inventory.

Are you a clairvoyant or do you just not want any features Morrowind had and Oblivion didn't in Skyrim?

I want the feature, but I don't think it will be in.

Todd mentioned that dragons will be able to swoop down and pick up NPCs. I intend to break a few laws and then keep an entourage of guards pursuing me at all times as a dragon lure. :evil:
