Contract Assassin

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:20 am

During the game you are hunted by assassins for what ever reason, now imagine that when you do something bad or something to get a contract on you a REAL player can enter your game to accept the contract!

If you are a good and moral player you have nothing to worry about.

If you kill the wrong person, steal and or do anything that others would see as unlawful then you better watch your back.

How it would work:

The Dark brotherhood/ Other: Contracts would be posted of Xbox/PC/PS3 players that have been noted as wronging the brotherhood. If you choose you may enter their world and attempt to locate and assassinate them.

Rules for assassin:
1. You can NOT take anything out of the world.
2. You can only go after higher level targets
3. Once you arrive you will have to find and locate your assassin gear (instruction will be given to you by a courier)
4. Once you locate your gear you are provided with the last known location of the hero.
5. If successful you are sent back to your world and your payment is received.

Rules for Hero:
1. As soon as a assassin enters your game FAST TRAVEL IS DISABLED
2. This option can be turned off or on.


What do you think?

Prepare to be dikeed on for daring to propose online connection between people in an Elder Scrolls title. People don't take kindly to it here, I don't know why :P

But on topic, this wouldn't work. What would happen if you died? Return to your last save, or force a pre-assassination save? Skyrim is too big to disable fast-travel when another enters your game, and it would defeat the efforts Bethesda have made to try and sell the game to a wider audience who would hate not being able to fast travel. Also, as this would be a popular feature, you'd have an infinite stream of pricks entering your game and stopping your from travelling.

No. This is a singleplayer game. If I want other people messing with my game I'll let my wife play one of my saved games. This idea is dumb.

Want multiplayer? Go play wow

Maybe, MAYBE, if it could be toggled on and off. Id love to chase them noobs and watch them noobs try to kill me in my full nightingale as a level 81 spellsword.

Don't want to talk about it? Fine. If it is a problem then I am -sure- a mod will deal with it. Oh yes and multiplayer wouldn't be too bad just I wouldn't want it to take away from the experience due to how long it takes them to make the singleplayer game alone.

Wow = an abbreviation of World of Warcraft, which on these forums is a synonym for idiotic/sad/plagiarised.

Networking functionality is not an easy feature to implement. And it's not worth the sacrifices required to implement it in these titles. They, thankfully, are more interested in the core singleplayer features than a multiplayer feature that would take manpower away from them.

Guys stop being dramatic, if this idea was implemented in a good way it would be amazing, reminds me of Demon Souls. And say what you wan't in some point in the future Bethesda will add multiplayer features to future TES games, it's destined to happen, look at Mass Effect for example.


Be open for new ideas....

There is just too much room for someone to be a [censored] and grief you in this type of scenario. Like if fast travel were disabled, they can just zone in to your "world" and walk away from the game, effectively forcing you to walk everywhere. And inevitably, it would take forever to find someone, let alone kill them. And how does waiting work? If they wait in-game, then in order for the world to stay cohesive your assassin character would be forced to wait as well. That would be frustrating. Combat would have to be switched to a real-time style where you cannot pause to access your inventory, or if you were able to access it, you would be fighting still. That would upset people. Anyway its a really cool idea, but in a game like this there isnt really a way to implement it without allowing for some of this kind of griefing, and if I wanted that then I wouldnt be playing a single player game :)

Wow besides the difficulty it takes to do this for Beth its not a bad idea and neither is co-op

Guess what if they did add it, you do not have to do it.

Stop crapping on people for ideas its really just an a hole thing to say lol dis not wow over an idea.

Good idea, the work involved would be horrendous. I would love a harder co-op play mode with 1 person.

When people reject every single idea other than magically turning Skyrim in Morrowind and they give their reasons, does anyone else hear comicbook guy from the simpson's voice in their head when reading their complaints? Well I do. It's the voice I use when mocking what the morrowhiners say to people in real life.

Anyway i think lots of little, optional online components would be interesting.

Instead of people coming in here and saying

I think it should actually be approached in a civlized manner

did you think this idea... through at all? you do know skyrim is not at all balanced for multiplayer? you do know that some players are level 2 and others level 81 with godlike exploit gear? that this is a humongous world and both players would end up wandering bored for hours with no fast travel? that half your skills and abilities dont account for enemies with human intelligence?

to properly implement this, bethesda would have to rework the ENTIRE gameplay for skyrim, at which point it would no longer be skyrim, nor a TES game.

this is... leagues beyond adding multiplayer functionality (which is an increasingly obnoxious request from people as it is). this is fundamentally altering the game for a little online gimmick that will inevitably just turn into a griefers paradise. this is trying to sow half of an apple and orange together.
