Hi,

I am a long standing fan of the Elder Scrolls series. I really like the games. One of my favourite features was the levitation feature. As you all probably know already - this feature was removed in TES4.

I am organising a fan write in vie snail mail to try to persuade Zenimax execs to have the feature added back in, perhaps in a future expansion.

To this end I have set up a website with a template letter and addresses, for fans to use in writing RESPECTFUL letters.

Please support the campaign by going to Levitation Write In.

I hope you will take time to join the campaign.

Uh.. they ommited levitation for a reason, the reason being it completely messed up the gameplay, and you would be able to see into THE VOID that surrounds all cities... so let's not have it back. wink.gif

Or they could fix THE VOID that surrounds the cities by moving the city content from interior cells into exterior cells the way they did in Daggerfall.

There is no technical bar whatsoever to restoring levitation except that it would involve some coding and changing the way that cities work.

Do you want huge loading times again just by leaving a house?

Hey Vordrak, welcome aboard. This is acctually a nice approache to this situation, better then the "th3y soxorz!" topics. Granted I doubt this will work (i'm not to good of a letter writer) don't be discouraged and good luck.

I *might* be wrong here but couldn' they do (sort-of) what they did with Mournhold? have a "you can't leave this way" prompt when ever you get to high or something? or have a glowy purple bubble dome (thing) to act as a "force field" and block you (or kill you instantaniously, which ever works evillol.sml.gif).

Heck, they could even have special buildings (that supposedly have the mages in them) in all the towns guarded by Uber guards to kill you if you traspass. Like a area radius that they warn you if you come within 50 feet (or something) and then kill you if you come within 30-40 feet.

To conclude (I feel proffesional tongue.gif) there is a way and possibility to reintroduce levetation into the game, and besides, it would be very cool to soar through an enemy encampment and see how the nonmagical npcs react. (come on... you know you want to agree with me biggrin.gif)

who knows? we'll be able to answer that when (and if) the levitation spell gets released.

hehe, i remember in morrowind making a constant effect levitation 1pt ring and anytime i wanted to get somewhere far away, i'd put myself a mile up and put myself on autorun in that general direction... then go get something to drink or something... when i got back, id be around where i needed to be biggrin.gif
once in awhile a cliff racer would get me tho @_@ luckily i would get back before i was dead most the time

I hope that the Devs choose to implement levitation as a feature in future official mods because that is one of the things that I miss most in Oblivion.

I don't like levitation very much. It sounds pretty stupid.

Levitation is pointless. They made sure you dont need it and it make the arena or any other fight too easy. Be happy for what they did add.
