Cats and Ciceromance

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 11:40 am

Dear Bethesda


With my love of this game comes my entirely unanticipated love of Cicero, who I can still barely stand listening to even as I am rendered incapable of turning him away. I made the mistake of killing him once and I will never do so again. All other potential followers pale in comparison to the joy Laughter Incarnate brings to the table. And so I unrepentantly demand firmly request beg of you, pretty pretty please, make him available for marriage. If this requires you whisking Andrew Morris back into the recording studio for another few beautiful lines of dialogue that such an option would entail, then so mote it be.

If you are unable to recruit him for this particular quest, then I humbly suggest that recycling his line of "Oooh! Listener! That tickles!" is an acceptable alternative in regard to some of the anticipated marital happenings.

While expediently fulfilling this request, kindly bear in mind that I among many others am an Xbox 360 user, and so it goes without saying that this would need to be made into a compatible patch for all consoles. No need to make it optional. I cannot imagine how anyone here could fail to see the beauty and hilarity of a marriageable Cicero.


Yours most amorously,

PS. Please also make cats. I like cats. You probably like cats too, because who doesn't like cats? Skyrim has almost everything needed to enjoy one's day, except for cats. And those hulking monstrosities that prowl the mountains that my horse blithely gallops over valiantly struggles across don't count as cats, because you can cuddle real cats and if you try to cuddle those cats they just rip your head off and don't even headbutt your leg or purr to show appreciation for the dinner you so generously gave them. You don't even have to make the cats followers, just have a new option with the Jarl's Stewards to upgrade your house to include anywhere from one to ten cats of different, random colors, sizes and degrees of laziness. They can meow when you click on them and you can feed them and get the 'gift of charity' perk. They can walk around and sit on the table and you can yell at them to get down and they can ignore you just like in real life and go back to eating your salmon steak, before gathering to sleep in the middle of your bed so you have no room to lay down around them and you have to use your housecarl's bed.

Also if you make a cat your follower it can raise your speechcraft by like 20 or something because that's pretty much how it works in real life. Also have the cats spawn litters of kittens occasionally. Not only will their unique meowing and squeaking interactions, which you'll naturally include, be adorable to listen to after a Skyrim week of adventuring in draugr-infested caves, but you could sell the kittens for a decent chunk of gold.

The thieves guild members should be added as followers and marriage candidates as well.

Love this post. Will support you request if we also get to marry Ingun Black-Briar or Sapphire. I like my women slightly insane (at least I have Muiri).

Only if they also allow us to throw the kittens in Dungeons to check for traps. Ahhhh I can see it now.

Our lone nvde Khajiit walks through a dark nordic ruin. The scent of death lingers in the air and....a smidge of our hero's heroic Scent Marking.
He see a hall way. With a trip wire NO two trip wires! Double wire.... What does this mean? Our hero ponders a way to solve this mysterious puzzle.

It seems Sai is on our hero's shoulder again. His furry feline Khajiit wife (one of the small house cat sized ones, don't ask about how they managed to mate)
Begans to give birth. Inside of his backpack. It is beautiful. And idea strike our hero! He grabs one of the newly born kits. He rolls it past the trip wires.
Unfortunatly, it seems the tripwires were made of razor wire. And the kit was sliced in two. But just as our hero previously assumed. It set off a swinging-axe trap.
He wonders, is this a true trap? Or some sort of illusion or facade to deter treasure hunters? Our hero hatches another glorious plan.
He grabs another 3 of his new kits.
He tossed one. Swoosh. Pop. Yup. Axe number one is real. Our Naked Khajiit it going to need a bath. Now, number two. He plans it precisely. Missing axe number one but hitting number two. It appears number two was a fake. But his kit was thrown against a wall which was covered in a rune. Our hero hops past the two axes effortlessly. Grabbing his new a little bit burnt snack. Then he has one kitten left. He throws it past the two axes. It hits the third. The kitten, seeing the fate of the other two and just being a total baddass in general turns into a dragon. It appears our hero's father was correct. His mother wasn't faithful. And made sweet sweet love with Alduin by using an Elder Scroll. Guess that explain him being 'Dragonborne'. It soon is apprant this is no ordinary dragon. But a were-shark dragon. A tiny one though. It flops about like a Slaughterfish out of water. Our hero, being moved by this being will to survive throws his wife at it. The fish them begans to swim in a small pool of blood. Our hero takes out a bottle of water and pick it up. Being bitten in the process. It was a little bite....it won't turn him...will it? He puts hit Child in the water. And jumps past the third axe. Finishing the Ruin. He finds a dragon word of power. "Fishstick of approval" Perfect. He leaves the ruin...seeing the full moon is almost at its apex. He runs to the Sea of ghosts. He can feel himself growing a fin. He throws himself in the water just as he turns into a Magical-baddass-draconic-furry khajiit-scent-marking-wereshark. He and his child swim the oceans. Wreaking havoc where ever they go.

I believe we should be able to marry everyone we want, and I concur with another one who posted who believes we should be able to marry within our various organizations (Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, what-have-you) in particular. It's all well and good that we're allowed the fabulous, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get hitched with the town drunk, but some of us have expectations in these fantasy worlds of ours. And in all pragmatism, the relationship lines are fairly few and easy enough to have the voice actors do in a short span of time, and being able to marry literally anyone we wanted would add an element of control for our character to be able to, say, intervene in a situation where the one we want is set to marry someone else, and it would certainly enhance the roleplay aspect of the game that so many of us enjoy. There would, certainly, be complications with some of the people in particular, and it would require some pretty comprehensive coding and such, but I think it could be done. I also think we should be able to remarry in the event that our current pack mule follower/spouse dies in a tragic stabbing accident. And they really ought to consider letting us have multiple spouses. We can just keep them in their own houses, and let our favorites make us food in our NICE houses within the various holds :D

...Some of us like to play as philandering [censored]s. :D

And on the subject of personal irresponsibility, I also rather like the idea of being able to spawn children, which would take on some of our color/feature qualities and not be the pudding-faced replicas tagging each other's butts off in the streets. It would be interesting, to say the least, regarding hybrids between humans/elves/argonians/khajiti, considering the books within the game allude to such cross-breedings being possible, and of course it would be a large project, but it would be quite impressive and certainly make things that much more interesting in terms of dabbling around outside of the main quests.

Also, cats.

Ah, but there I go with these CRAZY ideas XD

As a lover of cats, I am offended. As a sane human, I'm laughing. As a lover of Khajiit and a Khajiit in-game, I am disturbed. Why would Khajiit throw wife at death? This doesn't follow the foolish rules! Honor is good, but not if it means death.

With the Voice of the Sky power, you can cuddle with sabre cats. ;) But I agree, housecats would be nice. My witch would want one, for sure.

...And you know what happened to those bandits! ;) (and if I were Sapphire and my husband made me go through such a thing again, I wouldn't hesitate. I'd probably cut off a certain body part first, as well.)

Not so good sir; Vipir the Fleet and Vex teamed up together for a mission, if I recall correctly. And in any case, it would come in handy to have someone at your back, which is why we're able to have followers in the first place. Having members of the TG at your back? Bonus. Well, maybe not at your back, lest they pickpocket you out of habit. At your side, then.

Cats can be freaking vicious if you don't raise them right. Even a house cat could claw someone's face off if it was feral or angry enough.
