Is the tobacco herb omitted from Skyrim? : V

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:38 pm

This is probably the smallest, least-priority thing I've ever seen asked on here, but is there tobacco in Skyrim? In previous games I always loved carrying some tobacco leaves around with me to chew on while travelling, but I haven't found one leaf of tobacco thus far. So my question is rather straightforward, is the tobacco herb even in the game? It'd be kind of embarrassing to keep looking for it only to find it's not in the game.

Retroscript: In the likely case that tobacco doesn't grow in Skyrim, and isn't imported, is there an equivalent or similar plant I can use?

No, I don't believe there are tobacco leaves in the game. The closest thing is Skooma, basically an illicit drug made by the khajiit, or moon sugar or sleeping tree sap, the two ingredients used to make skooma, which have a stronger effect than skooma.

I don't think so...

Sad that tabacco gets snipped but there's enough liqour across the continent to get every guard, cilvilian, troll, and dragon drunk for 5 years. If one is there I expect the other. There both legal but drinking doesn;t get looked down upon like smoking/chewing does and yet I've never heard of smoking/chewing destroying families.......

In 'previous games'? You mean - in Oblivion?

Yeah, I know what you mean. The only reason I could find for tobacco not being in the game is if it is lore-breaking.

sleeping tree sap is not used to make skooma, just sayin'

for an equilivant i would say...moon sugar (rp-wise)

Considering that tabacco may not "grow" in Skyrim is one thing but I'm sure if it gets made anywhere in Tamriel it would find its way there through trade or caravans. I would also assume like skooma (which to me seems like liquid mary J) tabacco leaves would be at least sold by the Khajiit caravans.

Sorry for not being very clear in my first post, but by equivalent, I didn't really mean stat-wise, I meant more towards looks and similarity to tobacco.

I assumed that, as well. It just seems like it would be a prime import.

It is, but there's a mod for consumable marijuana as well as other narcotics that grow in the wild.

Try Nirnroot. Trust me, it's safe. :teehee:

Skooma a liquid cannabis? What have you been smoking? Skooma is crack. Gives you a boost to stamina, and in other games would make you run, really, really fast and jump, really really high. When was the last time you saw a stoner doing track and field? It's nothing like cannabis in any way.

They took it out probably because some groups and anti smoking lobbyists would have thrown tantrums over having even the plants in the game. Then BGS would have had countless whinning parents along with lawsuits. Complaining the game gave their kids the idea that tobacco is good and it is alright to smoke.....blah blah blah....... :rofl:

Nirnroot.
Deathbell.
Nightshade.
Fire and frost salts.
Glow dust.
Moonsugar.
Lots of mushrooms.

Pick your poison.

Sooooo...you're saying....crack is a good thing? :lmao:

If people want to destroy their body I think its their right to choose. After all we are suppose to live in a free country where we aren't living under the oppression of a king or queen.

But anyways without trying to get into any political debate, I was just stating the effects of skooma are akin to smoking crack than some plant which makes you lazy and hungry.

When was the last time you saw a crack addict doing track and field?

And apparently crackheads run track and field. :blink:

Plenty of times when I watched cops. Actually I think its call parkour.

I fail to see where I said that. I simply asked if you ever saw a pot head doing track and field. The answer is no because it makes people lazy, not energenic and stronger.

Oh sorry... I only played a little of Morrowind and I just got it to work on my PC (YESSSSSS!). By the name of it it seems like weed. IDK skooma just seems like that. If it's crack - NO F'N wonder they don't let Khajiit caravan traders in the city. I feel like skooma is nothing like crack though. Even if it made you run fast it would still be more like liquid coke.

Crack is cocaine, its another form of it.

Crack makes people twitchy and really junkie like.

Cocaine is in in powder form and makes people happy, angry, party, and well.... just more functioning than using crack.

Skooma.

Not even once.

Track and field? No. Olympic swimming? Yes. Gold Medal, as a matter of fact.

Have you seen what coke, meth, crack, or whatever did to this one celeb?

Can't remember her name. Really hot though, but now her whole face and nose looks ugly.

Skooma.

Not even once.
