Pub Mini Games

[yorksherpud]

in oblivion it has a fatastic world, it almost seems like it's alive, however none of the taverns appear to have people enjoying a drink, a chat and possibly even a game of draughts, maybe even darts. Could somebody make a pub game mod, maybe the player could gamble on the game, the higher the bet the more difficult the game.

 

Another suggestion is maybe an archery game or even a training dummy which will give you a score depending upon where you land the blow upon it's frame.

 

Any thoughts guys?

That might be possible, with OBSE. At least for the second one. If you make each circle on the archery target a different object, and when you hit it with an arrow, it is scripted to, say, give you some gold, or make somebody come up to congratulate you. You could create a new type of arrow that is the only one that works with the game, and when you pay you get a certain number of arrows, and then you shoot for money. Reminds me of Zelda on the N64 :D.

Super NES, too :)

 

Anyway, it's a good idea. If you want to see people paying games, then some animations could be added and implemented at certain places in taverns. Like people playing cards at a table, or throwing at a dartboard and retrieving their darts, much like they do with arrows and a target.

 

If you want to play the games yourself, however, that's more complicated. Those same animations could also apply, but for something like card games, it'd have to be menu based, most likely. There'd be a lot of variables to test for, so it'd take a pimp-ass script to make it work.

 

Darts could use your second idea, too. Come to think of it, if that could work, what's to stop somebody from making darts as a weapon, ala Morrowind?

I would think the targets would have to be moving or something or maybe spread around an area of cyrodil and u have to race people there, since shooting the same target over and over is quite easy when immobile.

 

I think with the cards etc maybe you could use it like the arena system u gamble on a person winning and then it has a chance of winning governed by your luck stat.

 

I wish I could code so I could do these things for myself, also I barely have enough time to play games, thus even less time to mod them.
