jedimembrain Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I think the game will just generate a new character with a preset AI that will say "I was this last shop owner's (sister,uncle,cousin, so on...)" .. That would be the most effective way of keeping the shops from closing when a dragon starts to get the munchies... I highly doubt the game would use in game characters to replace the shopkeeps .. it wouldn't be effective since they could die too and ruin the point. So like reincarnations of the character you kill? I can see that becoming tiresome, I don't run around killing everything but if a character is a 'tin' then I will crush him/her!! I don't recycle tins I dislike and so don't give me the same person with a different face please!!!? The game uses the same voices but different character models .. oblivion did that a lot .. idk though .. I'm just guess .. it doesn't bother me if its just for shop keeps .. but we will find out in two weeks :D Woot! .. feels so close today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jermungand Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm inclined to think, that in an ancient Norse society like the one in Skyrim, the legal system doesn't get that complicated. You might be surprised ;-) Law was quite extensive in England circa 1000AD which I imagine was fairly typical of other northern European kingdoms and political domains. England circa 1000 AD was the most well governed and stable country in Europe, yes. On the other hand, I don't think that's indicative of most of Norse society during the viking age, which is what Bethesda's fantasy vikings are no doubt based on.

I don't think Bethesda really "based" it on anything other than superficial details. They look like Boroque paintings of Vikings, have Thanes like the Scots, seemingly war like Saxons. I think it's safe to say this is Bethsoft's creation with just visible historical inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but the Vikings still controlled the north east of England until well into the 900s and had a strong network of nobles who were loyal to the House of Denmark all over the British isles. Don't underestimate their political prowess! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
