A commoner's life Options

[Intestinal Chaos]

Personally I think If Bethesda really wants you to "live another life in another world" they should consider the life of the commoner to at least be functiunaly played. A good mod idea can actually be a few things to facilitate to the lives of the common folk. A few mundane quests and such (annoying neighbors,a slap dash race to a shelter while the town is under attack, "raising" property values of the neighborhood, getting back at the guy who keeps kocking over your boxes, ect.) obviously those ideas didn't sound too good... but thats what we have modders for. An elaborate king of the hill-esque neighborhood heirarchy might also be sort of interesting......

I think having characters that have a real personality goes a long way to make a game more fun. I'm just playing Redguard, and I have to say, the NPCs in that game are superior the the ones in Morrowind in every respect. There're actually distinguishable by factors other than their looks, and they seem to have real personalities. Now I know Oblivion won't be a TES Adventure game, it will be a massive RPG with a huge world, and > 1000 NPCs. Thus it would be asking too much of Bethesda to fill all those bit-heads with personality. However, that IS a good idea for mods.

I for one would greatly appreciate such a mod or mods.

Yeah, It would be nice for someone with greater Construction set skills than I (being just about everyone) to get on this and try to give personality to all characters. It'll be a big job, but it was attempted (and completed?) in Morrowind.
