Pets! : V

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 4:36 am

Hey, wouldn't it be awesome if we could have pets (besides a dog)? I think it'd be great if there was some sort of shop in Skyrim that sold some. What I really want is actually an imp, like the ones in Oblivion. I think that'd be awesome to have for a Mage character, a little imp that shoots fire bolts or something.

Any Ideas on a pet you'd like? Something Bethesda could put on the game?

Snow fox. I want one that follows me everywhere at all times.

It'd be completely useless, but they're cute, so whatever.

Yeah it would be pretty cool I guess.

I'm not sure if it is true or not but I think someone mentioned the dawnguard get trolls.

@Renegade Knight. I have read articles that metion armoured trolls for Dawnguard.

@Topic. Pets would be awesome. But in a way we already have them.

SPOILER

Dogs, Horses, Followers, Frost/Fire/Storm Thralls. And don′t forget the spider at the Dark Brotherhood

...I wouldn't really call a person a pet.

Yeah I know, but that′s why I said: "in a way"

Yes that is true, it has been confirmed by Todd Howard so it must be. I personally wouldn't mind a pet like a fox or wolf for a hunting buddy but i'd probly get them killed, im never to good with followers and horses

The spider died and animal thralls only last a few seconds. As for people like the guy above me said they aren't pets.

I want a mammoth following me

no not really. what would be cool is if i could be a Jarl, build up a city and make a army to invade or defend land and have to manage resources. Having a dumb animal following me around is not cool. Being a Jarl and having a ton more gameplay features is cool.

They are kind of. Is a chimpanzee a pet ? Humans are basically chimpanzees (some very slight differences). And the housecarls in Skyrim live the life of a chimp in a zoo, unless they're following you.

Is kind of cool. Being a Jarl would be cool as well.

Hey, also I was thinking they'd replace followers. They would be strong and could have basic commands like Stay, Follow, and attack. and when I think of pets I think of creatures.

These would just be a gameplay option. Im sure not everyone likes Npc followers, I myself am an animal person and would like this.

Also, about the armored troll, I know the dawnguards will have them in some form, but does that mean being able to use them as a follower? Even so, I'd feel weird having a big ol' troll for a pet :/

Meh, followers just seem to get in my way and dogs are worse. That being said: I will use armored trolls (call that as my band name) because if a vampire can summon a gargoyle (mispelled?) I want something to get that while I focus on the vampire.

Pretty sure their is a bigger difference than slight. Also they only stay in your house to guard your stuff. It would be like considering the yarls guards as his pets.

Not really. I think our DNA is like 96% identical or something like that.

I actually like the idea of pets. I just don't know which animal/creature to choose.Any ideas?

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 6:49 pm

An albino Sabre Cat.

Snow Bear. Or a white wolf.

never said we don't share 96% dna I said their is a bigger difference. It is like saying a house cat is like a lion. Sure their both cats but their are major difference in appearance, behavior, intelligence, behavior, size, muscle structure, etc.. The 4% makes a large difference.

I want a Falmer I can lead around with a leash. Or frostbite spider.

But there isn't really huge differences in the behaviours of humans and chimps. At our most primitive we're really similar. We have the same emotions and to non-primates we probably look very similar. I suppose we'll just need to agree to disagree.

That doesn't really mean a lot. We share 99% of our genes with mice, 70% with sea sponges 50% with bananas. Just because we share DNA does not mean we are inherently similar.

I still think humans are pretty similar to chimps and other great apes.
