Your Character Should be Able to Smoke in Skyrim! : V - Skyrim

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 11:45 am

Smoking is a killer. Yes, I'm being 'that guy', the health nazi. But why would Bethesda put smoking into the game when so many people are trying to give it up, for the good of themselves and for others?

To be fair our characters can do Skooma, and Moonsugar. And in Morrowind they actually had Skooma pipes.

There is no logical reason why there shouldn't be tobacco smoke. Unless tobacco doesn't exist on Nirn.

Does nobody remember Metal Gear Solid?

I remember. I also remember having to use it to get past that damn laser grid. I lost 3/4 of my health.

Tobacca was in OB, it was an alchemy ingredient

Smoke? In Fallout, yes, but not so sure about TES... :unsure:

It would have to decrease stamina and lower health over time, permanently. Also does smoking effect your brain if so then a decrease in Magica aswell.

Then there's no reason why there shouldn't be cigarettes or something.

But things like that in Nirn dont function as the things in our realm do

I would actually greatly prefer pipes. Pipes have such a classy, medieval feel to them. Cigarettes are just gross. But you're right. No reason at all.

Just carry a spigot around...i thought it was a pipe the 1st time i saw it in skyrim

I can think of several, actually:

- The huge health risks, and the people trying to quit.
- the controversy
- smoking has never been a part of TES.
- it's more of a 'gangster' thing than a 'knight' thing.

- So is fighting dragons. You wouldn't HAVE to smoke in game if you don't want to. And what about alcoholics trying to quit? There's mead, and ale all over Skyrim.
- We already have Skooma, and the ability to wantonly murder almost any NPC. Also we have alcohol.
- They had Skooma PIPES in Morrowind. That means they smoked Skooma. That means smoking is a part of TES.
- You don't have to be a "knight" in The Elder Scrolls. You can be a thief, you can be a vampire, you can be a serial killer. You can be almost anything.

Also the Thieves guild are a bunch of gangsters.

I, for one, am addicted to immersion role-playing. This may sound odd to you, but one of my favorite things to do in Skyrim is spend an evening in The Bannered Mare in Whiterun. I sit down, wait for Sadia to offer me a drink, purchase a bottle of Honningbrew, request that Mikael play me some Ragnar the Red, and enjoy some banter with the tavern patrons. Personally, I think adding a pipe like, say, Gandalf's, would be fantastic. Great idea, my friend.

Indeed. I'm a non smoker but I think it should be in. Remember Aragorn lighting up in the Prancing Pony. Awesome. I want to do that in the Bannered Mare. If they did add smoking pipes, you would also have to be able to put your feet up as you do so. :cool:

I think I just had a nerdgasm. Slightly off topic... I want a Prancing Pony mod!

Give me a good Skooma pipe

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:10 am

It's unnecessary. It would serve no functional purpose and I doubt that a lot of people would be excited.

The thread should have halted after this post.

ha it wouldnt matter because you wouldnt see them smoke just like theres no animation for drinking or eating

i laughed that in lotr when there was a dilemma that required deep thought, gandalf would ponder over a pipe

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:27 pm

Just no.

Wouldn't it be cool for your character to find a certain plant accidently set it on fire and feel some weird effects........ like been extremely mellow. I'd love to walk through the streets of solitude baked ha ha.

If two guys or two girls can get married in Skyrim I don't think they are that worried about controversy.

lols

How is that controversial unless your from Mississippi ? smoking is a health hazard that is addictive and slowly kills you , drowining on your own mucus cus your lungs are half dead :wub:

When you're going to nitpick do it right, like pointing out the lack of toilets. (Except the odd bucket here and there.)

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:32 pm

I think there would be more controversy if a marriage had to be a guy and a girl.

As for smoking, you have moon sugar and skooma. Unless I'm forgetting something, that's it. I don't see how smoking would ever fit into TES

Pretty sad isn't it? I miss the days when the homosixuals weren't all in your face about it.

No, the use of narcotic drugs is not something American culture generally accepts and nicotine is almost as looked down upon. If Beth included smoking it would upset a lot of people and cause them to lose money, apart from the fact smoking is downright disgusting.
