Yep, you guys are the victims. You've been nothing but cordial so far.

We havent attacked anyone or been rude. I dont see why you're so offended.

Is it the acoustics in here? You just posited the notionI might be "lazy" two posts ago, and now you're saying you haven't been rude. Okaaay.

I said no offense. I didnt mean it as a personal attack, however, I will apologize so we can continue to discuss and stay on topic.

Hire some guards, fix an Dwemer robot. Remember an mod in fallout 3 who let me repair robots, ended up adding sentry robots to the outside settlements

RobCo Certified? That same guy did a similar mod for Skyrim, http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10442. Never leave home without armored escort Or in this case, never leave a home without armored sentries?

I've been very cordial, so far.

Prove me wrong.

Yes you have, but just let it go for the sake of the thread. And so we dont get in an argument that causes derailment.

Agreed.

Moving on.

So you meant "laziness" as what then? A compliment? I have no idea what you do for a living, but I think we can safely rule out "greeting card writer." Happy Birthday, my darling lazy wife! No offense!


Yes, well you apologized to Kayne two pages ago, so forgive me if I have no interest in justifying my opinion to you any further. Carry on.

Why shouldn't they be?

I mean I find it ironic that Todd Howard repeats the word "redundant" to justify cutting skills and attributes, but then he oversees a project where we see the exact same types of assaults over and over and over and over and over again. And they're not even challenging, they're just tedious.

"It takes like 2 seconds" is not an argument in favor of having these random attacks. Getting punched in the face takes like two seconds aswell, doesn't make it fun or worthwhile. So why do they keep implementing repetitive enemy assaults? We have three different types now...

I've said it once and I'll say it again: for the love of God, fire the dev that thinks we love repetitive NPC assaults.

Well, I like them because it makes it feel like a real house with problems a house in the woods would have.

Just an observation, but if I were you I'd probably quit talking as if you represent the whole of the community.

There's enough people who disagree with you to prove that you don't.

Like I said, just an observation.

I only read the first few post. sorry if this been said

Fixed.

Armor for Skeevers? not one of those warrior types?
Bunny Attacks!

Granted, a little bit of adrenaline like this makes it more like a real house in the woods, and inhabitants of such a real house would take some measures to minimise such attacks. This is why a number of posters who feel differently than you provided quite a few ideas for ingame features which would allow them to get rid of what they see as an issue - I'm not going to repeat them all here.

But all that has already been said before and in the meantime, another thing occurred to me. Some players, count me among them, I guess, see their ingame house - be it in the city or in in the wilderness - as a sort of safe haven. Others may like the idea of "there's no place safe", but really, there are also players who would like to have a fair certainty that having spent some time slaying draugr and so on, once they get to point X, nothing unexpected will happen. I think this is why quite a few people are complaining about skeever infestation even though it takes "literally two seconds" to kill them.

And this is why I'm still supporting the idea of being able to buy optional features to get rid of or minimise the nuisance. Besides, a guardhouse and painted stones would look cool outside the house ^^

We could also use common sense and assume that "we" is probably referring to "we, the complainers" so we don't have to spend every other post clarifying what was meant.
Sorry, don't mean that as rude, (know it sounds that way) but dunno how else to word it. It's obvious what I meant and your post doesn't actually have anything to do with the topic, it just derails it into back-and-forth clarification of what "we" means and if it's use is appropriate or not. I'm gonna use it, just figure out what it means.

Fair enough. I get your point, but skeevers dont even attack you in the actual house. They literally just stay in the cellar, and you can ignore them for as long as you want until you feel like killing them. Giants attacking? Not a problem for me personally, but I can see how that would be annoying, especially for really low leveled characters. Dragons? You bet. But skeevers in a part of the house that no one else goes to except the kids right after you give them a new weapon and only then? Uh uh.

Its really only a very small amount of people who defend the random attacks . From what I read, most threads and posts are in favour of bethesda not doing this again. Bethesdas new company policy must be more action, action, action and just when you thought you could relax and do some trading or go to your home
...ACTION. Will soon be implementing the awesome button.

Its more than likely that the ones in favor or the ones that are indifferent dont bother to respond because it doesnt concern them. The ones with the issues will almost always seem to be more in number. And I can relax in my home just fine.

_{In my travels I have yet to encounter bandit and kidnapping raids}

I disagree. You've been very vocal about this for one of two reasons:

1) You're in favor it and feel strongly enough about the subject to weigh in (numerous times) or,
2) Judging by your profile, you're going for some kind of post-count record.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's the former. People with strong opinions of anything should feel compelled to weigh in either way, regardless of which side of the argument they happen to stand on.

So, somebody poll it already. Debating matters of personal taste is utterly futile.

I figured there wouldnt be any kidnapping. Some guy with a peter griffin pic was arguing really hard that there was, but the info given didnt actually say that. It just said defend from kidnappers. Its common knowledge that bandits kidnap, so it seemed obvious to me that it would just be bandit attacks.

Dont know what my post count has to do with anything, since I'm not spamming to get a post count up, but I dont represent everyone. If someone doesnt care about a topic, they wont speak their mind. I like this feature, yes, but someone who doesnt like it or dislike it wouldnt be compelled to voice their opinion. That or they might just not care about the complainers enough to explain why they disagree.

I do agree this needs a poll, however.

I'm very vocal, because I cant understand why people have such a strong sense of entitlement, and cant just solve problems without demanding a fix. Back in the day, you couldnt even get a patch. Now? Everyone feels that the game developers owe them everything.

ok so what your saying is that you want a gorgeous house out in the middle of nowhere with a big forcefield around it that prevents anything unfriendly from entering that bubble......you know what im saying? LOLOLOL IF i move my wife and children out into the wilderness to live then my wife and children better be taught how to fight in order to survive . If i dont teach them they will wind up dead, welcome to how it should be
