TES: Sims?

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 10:44 pm

I would like to have the option the customise my house(s) some more. Like you can do in games like "The Sims". Adding some bookshelves, the head of a sabre cat or even replace the table. I also want to be able to choose different types of furnishing.etc. etc.
Oh and it would be great if the items don't fall of their shelves when I enter my house. I know that it isn't all that important, but it would love it.

Would be nice. There's always the CK if you're on the PC, though.

This. I'm tired of having to glitch-superglue all my items by constantly going in and out. And still my Gray Fox keeps falling on the floor. :ermm:

I think it's pretty important actually. Items falling off the shelfs ruins the immersion quite a bit.

I loved the idea of building your own houses from the Game Jam video. I would love to have my Bosmer live in a house in the woods around Riverwood/Falkreath!

As for the whole 'things falling off shelves', I'd love it if they'd let me keep my Skull of Corruption on a weapon rack or plaque without it falling off ...

I don't want Skyrim to become a castle building game, but it would be really cool if you could build your own castle, and then decorate and inhabit it in your own way. It would be really cool if it was part of the late game; something to do after you complete a certain amount of quests. Perhaps you could become Jarl of a major hold and then build a new city.

I don't want to turn Skyrim into Civ5, Stronghold, or the Sims. Really, I guess what I want is turn those other games into Skyrim. Could you imagine a castle builder like Stronghold with a first person feel like like Skyrim, with a city builder aspect and nation building like Civ 5, and the kind of personal level simulation like the sims!?

No.

Sims: Sims. TES: TES. Cake: lies.

If you think that stuff falling off shelves in your house is annoying, cast a decent spell or shout in a tavern. My Bannered Mare looks trashed after I turned the priest guy into a block of ice after he started preaching at me.

A bit more user friendly means of redecorating, and choice, would be good though. Sure, if you are on PC then you can get mods, but the game should have it inbuilt.

I don't want TES to be focused completely on simulation like The Sims BUT building your own house, decorating , etc. Customization is a very valuable trait in video games. If the character creation was deeper I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything. Before any of this stuff I would want more important issues to be addressed. MAJOR bug testing before release, more depth, more variety (in EVERYTHING), and just polishing this into a better world every installment. If building isn't in a DLC or patch it will probaly be in the next game.

I think you should realise that the development team will have been broken up in various responsibilities...some will be on bug fixing, and others will be on content development, etc. Theoretically, it should all be happening concurrently.

Yes that may be but is that where we are? :yuck:

No but we do have a good thing here and it will only grow. I hope they don't simplify the RPG part any further but I also hope they don't stop expanding on customization (in whatever, building houses/castles, weapons and armor, spell crafting, etc.)
