@jake_russ 6 ай бұрын

theres a lot of things bethesda could have done for immersion but they often fall short. They seem to cut back on good features with each new game! in daggerfall, your speech skills have a chance to passively turn hostile people neutral - but in morrowind and each newer game hostile people are aggressive no matter what (with the exception of temporary illusion effects)

@aubreyhuff46 6 ай бұрын

@@jake_russto be honest, speech doing that was kinda stupid

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, and it would be easy to code. NPCs can use doors, so just have them sit up, maybe wait for a bit, then walk out and despawn once outside. And the next time (after a couple days) when you enter the temple again you'd see new random NPCs. And they don't even acknowledge when you heal them. Even followers and guards sometimes ask if you're a healer when you do some restoration on them. My guess is they're just hanging around there because they're too cheap to get a room in the local inn.

@jake_russ 6 ай бұрын

@@aubreyhuff46 how so ? Every single bandit and enemy trying to murder you to the point of letting themselves die in the process is hardly immersive. if you've every played a pen and paper rpg you'd know that diplomacy, deception and intimidation can be just as effective as any blade or spell. being able to team up with a random bandit in daggerfall against the rest of the dungeon enemies is pretty cool too

I enjoy wandering from the Temple of Mara into one of the many Arkay Hall of the Deads. Whiterun is the only one that seems to have an actual temple-like section to it that isn't inside the grave areas lol Fun lore fact: Dibella's Skyrim Temple is focused on her "Dibellan Arts" but the House of Dibella actually focuses on beauty in more than just people- Art and it's preservation is a huge part, and the House has many archeologists within it. Kind of sad that aspect hasn't been explored since Daggerfall.
