LukeHro Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi, I would love to see an alternative way to finish the stormcloaks and imperial quests lines using diplomacy and tricks to obtain a surrender of a city without fight. I personally would love that and by judging on the official forum threads about "which faction you choose" many people are reticent about picking one side and they all may enjoy this. This could finally make good use of the speech skill (persuade, threaten). I'm not talking about just go somewhere and simply persuade the jarl to surrender, some things that can be done before allowing that option:- sabotage the blacksmith in town to make a shortage of weapons before fight- get the troops drunk or food poisoned before battle by doing something in the baracks(those previous two can be done on enemy or even your own faction in order to buy time for you to work on a solution to avoid big fight)- take hostage a jarl relative, general, some other important people (persuade, threaten them to follow you or enter their room by night and leave a companion there then you talk to jarl/general) and fight guards along the way out of city (yes, you can kill a few guards in my proposed solution to avoid the big battle)- etc, those are just proposal to make it more complex then simply use speech- finally avoid killing the heads of the other faction What do you think?
