Matth85 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 cats were originally bred to hunt rodents in castles and houses, besides who cares if they have no use, who cares if its too cold. why cant we let be, be, and dont question it, its a game, like a movie, it may not make sense, but its there. Because the game developer know that it needs to make sense?Because your head knows it needs to make sense?Because you ask somebody else, who wants it to make sense? If you don't mind it -- go ahead, make it. I know I mind it, so I won't. "Fun mods" are 95% of the time made by the guy who wants it. Just because the rest of us are busy filling up a great game with more great content that is fitting, and makes it just that much better than any other game.

pwnedbyscope Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 your talking about the developer making sense in a fantasy game right? you said make sense in your head about a game with flying dragons and magic right? immersion is used to make it more like real world events or experiences, therefor they should be based off things in said real world so, lets compare real world to game world, game world is cold mountainous and foreboding, Alaska is cold mountainous and foreboding, there are forementions animals in Alaska, so why not skyrim?

EKMSkyrim Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Cuoting Matth85 on his reason why they can't have cats on Skyrim..."and they would be killed by sadistic bandits" ...Really, all of them? Well... ._. the nerve!I just though they dint have cats because it would make Kajhitt uncoftable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosoba Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Wow such caustic answers to a normal post... In regards of animals try to search for some cats breeders in Siberia. Pets should be more common simply because in a medieval world like Nirn they are way more useful that in an real, modern and advanced world. Cats hunts rats in castles, inns and houses. Dogs are useful for hunting...and tell me that in skyrim hunting isn't important... Donkeys are to be considered, there are breeds that have long fur and live in cold regions, but i think it should be better something like a yak or maybe a new invented animal :tongue: Zombies...actually i miss them too. Draugr i imagine them like zombies of past warriors or mages. But how a tamriel necromancer summons a normal zombie, a morrowind necromancer summons a normal zombie and a skyrim necromancer summons...a draugr...i think zombies should be present, a normal corpse revived (a paesant a shopkeeper a traveler). Goblins it should be only in south regions of skyrim. Because northern part is way too cold and part because in south part there are less falmer dwellings. It could be a really nice spark for new dungeons, maybe where falmers and goblins battle one another for territory. Other creatures from morrowind i think should remain in morrowind, so we can have more space to i sert more lore-friendly creatures. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 your talking about the developer making sense in a fantasy game right? you said make sense in your head about a game with flying dragons and magic right?Fantasy is based off reality.And your head, as in everybody, notie when something is wrong. Magic is not wrong, since we are used to it. If 1 shadow sits wrong, or something is too off, you will question it. Alaska is cold mountainous and foreboding, there are forementions animals in Alaska, so why not skyrim? Last I checked, there weren't dragons, bandits or a civil war going on in Alaska. We also got no idea how much colder Skyrim is than Alaska. Hence, we can't compare it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKMSkyrim Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You know what! Im all in may all this Creatures be put into Skyrim! They is all cool! And I also miss Zombies real Zombie zombies! I can't wait to decapitate them and see them walking still! Plus about the animals what does it matter I mean we have Horses surviving this "extremes" climates whats the matter with putting on some more animals? If they can't "survive" then stick them to the south! Dang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i didnt bring up alaska in relation to dragons i brought it up in relation in climate, based on the fact that cryodiil has a mild and balanced climate much like NA, so in following in suit skyrim COULD have the same climate as alaska and western canada.

Matth85 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 your used to people being able to raise the dead conjure up beings from alternate dimensions and sprout fire from their hands?Doesn't that prove my point?Also, i didnt bring up alaska in relation to dragons i brought it up in relation in climate, based on the fact that cryodiil has a mild and balanced climate much like NA, so in following in suit skyrim COULD have the same climate as alaska and western canada. Key word being "could", as we do not know. Counting from it being constant blizzards and Nords have 50% immunity to cold, I suspect it is quite cold. My point being: I can see a lot of creatures to come back. However, cats, smaller animals and goblins are not one of them.That said, there is nothing wrong with getting them there. Just mind you: Less artist will do a request if it is "for fun lolz". I said the same on another thread, which is at about page 120 by now. You might get lucky and somebody will make goblins, cats and whatever else you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stostri Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) they are lizards, aka reptiles "Dragons are scaly, they lay eggs, and they are utterly lacking in any mammalian characteristics. The notion that they are warm blooded is silly." -Aloysius Egon Greegier, armchair dragon scholar"Just like a humanoid to quote three facts, get one of them wrong, and then draw an unrelated conclusion from the lot." - Kacdaninymila, dragon, upon reading Greegier's statement Laypeople, and some scholars, are fond of the terms "cold-blooded" and "warm-blooded" to describe ectothermic and endothermic creatures, respectively.An ectothermic creature lacks the ability to produce its own heat and must depend on its environment for warmth. Most ectothermic creatures seldom actually have cold blood, because they are able to find environmental heat to warm their bodies.An endothermic creature doesn't necessarily have warm blood. What it has is a body temperature that remains more or less steady no matter how hot or cold its surroundings become.Dragons are endothermic. Given their elemental nature, they could hardly be otherwise. A dragon's body temperature depends on its kind and sometimes its age. Dragons that use fire have the highest body temperatures, and dragons that use cold have the lowest. Others have body temperatures that fall between the two extremes.However, when a dragon is deprived of an external heat source, its metabolism and activity level do not change. Unlike a truly ectothermic creature, a dragon can generate its own body heat and its now slowed or forced into hibernation by exposure to cold. tl;dr: It's magic, a wizard did it, I ain't gotta explain s***.

cppcooper Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) they are lizards, aka reptiles, if you cant compare a real world location then you cant put real world limitations into it either Correction they are reptilian in appearance, they are in fact dragons and not apart of any animal kingdom thus should not and can not be categorized as lizards. The only animal family they belong to is the mythological one. Especially since there are no "lizards" in tamriel with the exception of argonians Thought I would join in :D I actually was wondering why there aren't as many bloody golbins as there were in cyrodiil I figured it had to do with the climate. I think there should be more minotaurs though, specifically in Labyrinthian. Edited December 24, 2011 by Sagenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
