XD I see that my mom did the bad thing of hitting one of my kittens cuz it tried playing with her with claws out, she knew it was playing yet hit it kinda hard on the butt..Ever since than that one out of the two sisters I have doesn't really allow my mom to pet her and if she first thinks it is me than she turns around, hisses and attacks XD

You could try calming a sabre tooth tiger for a pet.

Welp, this is going down as one of the best posts I've read in the forums since I started here... Goodness, (counts on fingers) about eight years now.

I do wish you had more marital options. I had such an adventurer crush on Erandur... I can't imagine a priest of Mara can't get married, I mean it seems like it would be a requirement.

Why stop at 10 cats?

Well, the cats would breed and you'd get more anyway. Or Oblivion portals would deliver new kittens.

Hm. Some day, yes, some day I will be able to roleplay as a crazy cat person. Yesss. I like this idea. Continuing in this line of thought, I'd would like a summon for a swarm of kittens. Ever been scratched up by a bunch of baby cats? Not pleasant. Little needle claws, man. Maybe Sheogorath could grant the player such a thing...Cat followers would be interesting. They're so small though...maybe animal followers (and humans too) could get their own proper leveling and perks?

You had me laughing with the Cicero marriage. I had a bit of "darn it" myself when none of the npcs in the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood were available for marriage. (Oh, Sapphire. You hated my wood elf so hard that I knew it was all a front.) Fie!

Also, nice portmanteau: Ciceromance. Very lolzy. He'd approve. I wonder though if he would be a little clingy after the ceremony. Better not spend a lot of time with other followers. Or else. He seems like a male bunny boiler. And dang it, he would have been awesome for my wicked Breton assassin. She settled for Omluag out of pity (his brutal orc boss went "missing" too.) At least he was a Breton, I guess. Le sigh. Why do the crazy ones always get away?

(I agree that there should've been more marriage options from the get go. Seriously, there are all sorts of npc 'intermarriage' -- humans and bosmer/altmer, at least one redguard married to a Nord, so it's kind of weird that the player character is more limited than npcs in that matter.)

Sheogorath is the Skoomacat to us Khajiit. He gives us sugar, or was that Alkosh? Either way, we only summon kitten swarms when we have wars with Bosmer. Before the Thalmor took over, anyway.

Daedric Kittens... Wasn't that Molag Bal?

EDIT: Mehrunes Dagon... Sleepy...

Dear Andrea,

Your moist letter has reached our desk and not, it seems, fallen on deaf ears. Andrew was last reported heading to Lowe's to purchase a new deadbolt lock for which he shall receive recompense as part of services rendered. The dialogue which will be recorded shall form an integral part of our second major expansion to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, aptly titled, "The Cavern of Catreach." Players will be able to investigate an ancient lair deep below the surface of Tamriel, where the few remaining sane Falmer reside, seeking a cure for their race's congenital deformities by feeding on the essential adorableness of calico kittens through use of a recently discovered Elder Scroll.

The Dragonborn will be able to side with either the Falmer Researchers or the Sovngarde Horde of Animal Guardianship, a splinter group of Greybeard Monks merged with the remnants of the Dark Brotherhood who seek to protect Skyrim from the horrors of a reborn race of mer, armed with unbearable cuteness. Fan favorites Haelga and Nazeem will take central roles in the conflict - we can't spoil too much, but we can tell you that it has something to do with Almo, the heretofore unknown Daedric Prince of Tickling, finally emerging from his sphere of Krovar.

• New Weapon! The Ball of Yarn produces a unique friendly effect on targeted kittens and Khajit, and momentarily confuses enemies of other types. Power Attacks allow you to throw the yarn from a distance, finally giving melee characters the thrown weapon they've been seeking.
  
• New Shout! We have big plans for the "Call Feline" shout, allowing the Dragonborn to call nearby cats to attention. We tried to prepare a video, but the ability is currently bugged and does not function as intended...
  
• New Spells! Including, but not limited to, Drevis's Luminary Pointer, which is a concentration-duration spell which confuses nearby kittens and Khajit.
  
• New Crafting Recipes! It doesn't make melee weapons capable of one-shotting Dragon Priests, so you probably don't care.
  
• Werewolves! This doesn't have anything to do with with anything, but we thought there weren't enough werewolves, so we turned Cicero into a werewolf. He eats kittens now, and his marriage option is unlocked (regardless of whether or not he regains his sanity) with the unique consumable item, "Kitten of Mara.
  
• More Essentials! A number of NPCs were previously killable due to an oversight, making many quests impossible to complete. These NPCs have been correctly given Essential flags, and all Essential NPCs now are marked with a Golden Exclamation Mark over their head in order to make their status more obvious and prevent players from accidentally attacking these characters.

We hope that this answers the desires of you and every other Elder Scrolls fan, Andrea!

Fus Ro Dah!

What is more unpredictable than a kitten?!

Stan Lee, why didn't you say Excelcior? That's what you say!

I figured 1-10 would be a sufficient minimum. I do apologize for not clarifying :B

I thank you for your timely response on this urgent matter, and feel compelled to suggest just one small thing for the time being in light of what you have revealed.

"New Ingredient! Catnip, an herb which has a 50/50 chance to either calm kittens and Khajit, or send them into a non-aggressive frenzy when used in combination with Ball of Yarn!"

Naturally, if you have such an ingredient planned as part of your "New Crafting Recipes," part of this inspired expansion, then feel free to ignore the above.



Thank you again,

--Andrea


:B

Thank you, I am quite fond of Ciceromance myself. I mean, have you tried saying "Cicero Romance?" It's a bit of a mouthful. ;D

I agree with your points on the marriage restrictions within the game. And, considering that man and mer at least can interbreed (as indicated here: http://www.imperial-library.info/content/notes-racial-phylogeny-and-biology ), you'd think we'd see the occasional half-breed running around too.

With Cicero denied to me, I ended up marrying Onmund, the Nord Mage at the College of Winterhold. Mostly because I like his rebellious backstory, and it seemed his character had just a smidge more effort put into it than the other marriageable characters I was aware of at the time. That, and he's one of relatively few Nords who don't sound as though they're trying to talk around a mouthful of marbles.

Someday, though. Someday, that crazy hunk of Jester will be mine. (even though he kind of already is, at least in my little roleplay universe, in which my character is married but travels a little TOO constantly with Cicero ;D)

That's sick! In a great, I-can't-stop-laughing type of way!

Skyrim needs more cuteness.

the cats thing would be good more pets gets a thumbs up.

Yes, would love cats. Hadn't thought of marrying Cicero, but it is a great idea. Lovely post, AndreaTyler.

Why thank you!

You should be able to marry giants.

I can't be the only one the upon reading this immediately thought of Futurama and that amazing episode where they got captured by Amazonians and had to make Sno sno...

But how would that even... work...

Oh gods. Forget I asked. Forget!

(As an aside: where the heck do giants come from? Never seen any females. If you plant giant toes in a garden, do new ones sprout?)

Edit: typo-related

By that logic you should marry a diabella worshiper, after reading that note in the bunkhouse in riftfen..

Also, even if they just chilax in you're house i demand teh catz. Considering we cant properly own a dog ( one that goes home not to markarth) I can see a point to this.

Make the cats occasionally have a litter, and you can't get rid of any. Eventually the house is overrun (hilariously) with hundreds of mewing kittens. Like Tribble.

Damn theyre gonna kock over all my carefully places 'bugs in jars'... you know how hard it is to place them in a row on xbox?

Maybe the birth of kittens signals a new quest.

*EPIC QUEST ALERT SOUND*

Find homes for these kittehs all around Skyrim before their father(s) snack on them!

I have just noticed that the acronym for Sovngarde Horde of Animal Guardianship is "SHAG."

...

All jesting aside, this all really would make for a truly beautiful expansion. On all levels.
