Creature speculations

[Nakia]

I hope they come up with unique creatures. We know there are mamouth. Saber toothed tigers? If they include imps I hope they are better than the ones in Oblivion. Someone mentioned fish, yes fill the rivers with fish of many kinds. Not all the creatures need to be vicious either. It is fun to install a mod that has some peaceful creatures in it.

I am pretty sure fish are confirmed.

Yeah I hope in Skyrim they don't just wander around waiting for you to come near.

I hope they're much more realistic, in the vanilla Oblivion game all you saw was empty water, clams, and a slaughterfish or two.

I'll just ignore this little thing and continue with the topic.

 

I said oblivion was sealed, not daedra.

I was referring to weed33's comment, I forgot to quote.

 

Ohhh, ok. Nvm.

 

So, ALL the daedra?

Eh?All the daedra what?

Didn't they say something about adding fishing. If so then there will be plenty of fish to see.

 

As for creatures that I would like to see there are really only three types.

 

Giant snakes: just think about it, you are deep in a cave and you get to a big dark room with a lake in it and out of the water slithers the biggest snake you have have seen with its scaly skin glistening from the glow of your torch as it slithers towards you slowly....and then it strikes. It would also be cool if they could rap around you and try to constrict you but I can't really see how you would get out of that without getting some out of place quick time event button mashing sequence. Maybe it could just grab you and toss you across the room or something.

 

More hostile underwater creatures: I would just love to fight off a giant shark (seeing how this takes place mostly in the mountains, probably not going to happen) and being scared out of my mind when it comes into view from the dark depths of the water. Just something new other than slaughter fish.

 

can't remember the third type atm :wallbash:

Would like to see more reptile monsters like basilisks and giant snakes, good add.

All types of daedra. Oblivion had dremora, golden saints, dark seducers, knights of order, aurorans, xivilai, clanfear, daedroth, fire/storm/frost/flesh atronachs, spider daedra, hungers, and scamps.

Winged twilights, ogrims, vermai/hernes are missing.

Maybe they could replace the sharks with ill-tempered, mutated sea bass. :tongue:

 

Agreed anyway, probably not a shark but a moutain lake elder scrolls version. Would probably have tentacles, huge jaws (or maybe a beak like an octopus) and slimy skin. It would use hit and run tactics, swimming in for a bite of the player, then darting back into the murky depths to avoid retaliation. This would make it act like a real creature and also make deep water dangerous for the player.

 

Then again I'm not getting my hopes up, Bethesda games have always lacked a bit when it comes to water combat. Oblivion was okay for what little there was but mirelurks in FO and lakelurks in NV had a habit of just following the player around until they left the water... not very scary.

Seems to me like a octopus would be hard to animate.

 

Then again, it also seems like a snake or dragon would be hard to animate.

 

But seriously, I want snakes now badly.

I don't see serpents coming in soon at all, way too many animations for every little bump or crevice, and if you don't animate it right, it'll look like it's slithering over a flat surface even though the area under it is bumpy.
