Hey all,
Due to time restraints I have been unable to contribute to the Skywind project in any major way but being as big a fan of the series as I am, If I don't at least throw out some ideas I will really regret not at least trying to contribute. I realize that Easter Eggs are very very low on the priority list of things that need to get done but what the hay, I might as well put some ideas up for anybody that wants them. With the creation of new NPC's and the recording of voices to make Skywind feel more alive, I thought it would be a fun idea to include some of the things that have become iconic to the series since the release of Morrowind. I don't of course mean breaking lore. Specifically I was thinking about the things NPC's have said that have become well known in the community. I don't just mean the Arrow to the Knee (I know most of your minds jumped there) but I mean things like a guard yelling “STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!” or during battle hearing “I'VE FOUGHT MUDCRABS MORE FEARSOME THAN YOU!”. Or we could have references to things that we have heard over and over for instance, in reference to the Skyrim guard we could have someone saying in a conversation the player overhears “would you believe it! They stole my sweetrole... AGAIN!”. Just little things that would make no difference to an inexperienced player but all the difference to those who have spent countless hours wanting to kill the adoring fan or some sarcastic city guard, or shivering every time Lucien Lachance references how soundly we sleep for a murderer. Just a thought I had.
Yeah its a good idea, But
Yeah its a good idea, But generally we are just remaking Morrowind, Although these would be fun I don't feel that the fit in very well, maybe the imperial guards could say those quotes, not the native Dunmer. Sweet rolls don't really exist in Morrowind, I also feel that the things the guards say are already good enough, plus TES games usually don't include Easter eggs. Its not my place to decide really, but I don't belive we need Easter eggs. Also each game had its own feel, We really don't want to take away from the original feel of Morrowind.
