Cyledyr Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Hi, I've been wondering for a while now, would it be possible to add playable board games to Skyrim? The idea is, you walk into an inn and somebody challenges you to a game of, say, Nine Men's Morris or Chess or a game of Dice? Perhaps you could even play for money. I have no idea about scripting, but if this where possible it would really add to the immersion of the game, don't you think? Forgot to say, if this is in fact possible and a talented scripter would be interested, I'd help in any way I could of course!

DoctorKaizeld Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I do believe its somewhat possible. though I doubt it'd be easy to get NPC to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyledyr Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 I do believe its somewhat possible. though I doubt it'd be easy to get NPC to play it. Why? NPC's aren't actual people with free will ;)If you script a playable game with a human and a computer player, the NPC would just be the visual interpretation of the computer playing it.

DoctorKaizeld Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 because we can only work with the Skyrim engine. we aren't making a new game we are making mods for an existing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyledyr Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 I still don't see your problem. If a boardgame can be created via a script, a corresponding animation for a new NPC can be created aswell... I'm not excpecting the NPC to physically pick up a game piece and move it, just an animation that suggests he'd doing it. The piece can move by itself. Much like most NPC actions are animations that suggest something is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL50015 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think these things are those things that are more effort than its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorKaizeld Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 anyways there is a mod that adds a chess game to skyrim. look at the MMOxreview videos on youtube. in an episode (around 20-30 area if I remember right) he reviews it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
