TES Role Play: What Are Your Ideas?

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 8:59 pm

One thing that's exciting about this news, for me at least, is the roleplay possibilities. I love other aspects of MMOs, perhaps PvP the least because I'm so bad at it and only tend to PvP with my friends on Friday evenings when I have a good supply of Alto Wine! But I find role-play very immersive and love developing stories about my characters and interacting with other players.

So I was thinking today that I will start preparing a back story for my Khajiit. Who she is, her character, her beliefs (and otherwise), her passions (especially for sweetrolls), etc.

What I would love to know is do any of you enjoy RP too?
Have you already started thinking about your in-game life?

Please feel free to share!

Let us guess the combat and gameplay system.

There will be...

- Dungeon - obviously
- Daily's for end game purposes
- End Game raiding, with hardcoe mode on once you clear Normal Mode.
- Quests that involve killing 8 enemy or clearing an areas of mobs so you can get rewards.
- Consequences
- Option to chat all npc and voice npc
- Level up system will be the same just like any other Elder scroll game, I could guess that if you use certain weapon often and level up, there will be skill tree you can selected, so i am guessing you can be whatever classes you want to be at level 1. Guess this is their selling point..
- Event like in GW 2
- Auction House
- PvP system, Capture the flag, capture the nodes point, Arena and etc.
- Buy, design and decorate your own houses, or you can sell your house throught auction house.
- Theif guild, The Dark Brotherhood, The companion and other guild, you have the option to join one of the following guild, which has it own unique benefit. I have no idea back 1000 years ago that they form a guild or not.
- Profession?
- Books, notes lots of them scatter throughout Tamriel
- Dynamic exploration
- Buy and ride horses at certain level.
- Participating in a crazy castle pvp siege
- Vampires and Werewolves has their own hideout.

If they do from what I thought to be, no thank you and give me more single player...

When I'm not a Marukh Selective for the Elk, I plan to have a quiet Khajiit caravaneer, buying and selling goods for those in need.

Argonian sellsword who only cares for gold. Favors poisons, unfair tricks, swords. But I haven't thought that much of a character yet, so it's hard to say more.

I find it difficult to roleplay online cos' the majority of people are just hacking and slashing their ways to the top, I can't seem to find a way to roleplay without being idiotic but, if there are servers for that, and I hope there will be, then its just fine. I'd just play the brain damaged skooma addicted assassin that eventually comes out with a good strategy and often poor grammar sentences.

Would be great if they will make a RP orientated Server, Like Laurelin EN-RP for Lotro...

currently still playing that Game after 5 years and the RP is just wonderful, it gives the community of that server a nice touch...
People that join that Server know the majority will be in it for the RP, also they can add a Naming policy to that particulair server...

so instead of seeing L33tPloxorUb4rPwner running around, you'll have Lore related Names which makes for a better immersion..

I would like to start a petition for it, if they have not thought about it yet...

Other than that i have not thought about any RP char yet, but i'll figure something out still got until next year so ;)

Then you clearly never tried RP in Lotro on Laurelin Server....

And in Rift the RP was decent aswell, dont remember the Server cause i only played the game a month...

If you find the right community and the right Server, RP can be really immersive...
Pick the mature Server... and avoid the kiddies...
