trampolines!!!!

Post by Anonymous »

how cool would it be if you could drop a trampoline, and when you run over it you bounce really high

all you have to do is buy one, then when you want to use it drop it out of you inventory

cause i know there are some impossible jumps in morrowind and i dont always have a rising force potion on me.

ive got no idea how hard this would be cause im new so feedback is appreciated

wouldn't be very hard to script just an instant jump spell depending on your speed or something......

Honestly, there really is no lore to base this on. However, this is a Bolt-On. Do with it as you please.

I could see this working with some kind of magical item instead of an actual trampoline, which would be tough to carry around. If it's a minor item it doesn't really have to fit in with existing lore.

A trampoline is as big as 10 peoples and it weights like 200-300kg. It is no way you can have that in your inventory

Elastic? in Tamriel?
I think one of the good things about an open ended RPG is to not be able to instantly pass every obstacle you come across. If you don't have a rising force potion when you hit the big cliff-face, then tough shit; either go back and buy one, or accept the fact that you can't get up there yet. Anything else just stinks of linearity and final fantasy

This would be fun, but no one will actually do it. And you'll only use it like once when you first get it, then you'l just go back to levitate.

Trampolines are the biggest piece of anti-lore I've seen yet.

Anyway, I think trampolines would be entertaining in a private mod, but not something that really fits into TR.

Also you could only use it once, like the super jump scroll you find. I case you wondering why it only has one use- you put it on the ground, jump on it, fly through the air, land miles aways, the only you could get it would be to walk back...

sooooooo ..... just walk back. This is ridiculous; I'm all for ideas flying around, but there are so many thing inherently wrong with this I can't believe it's actually being considered. For one, lore

"And Vivec laid his muckshovel unto the ground, and at once jumped upon his hallowed trampoline, that he may reach a high bit because he had no rising force potions and hadn't bought the levitate spell yet. Verily he did land miles away, and walked back to find it was no longer where he put it, which he thought was truly a bit silly"

....... no.

This is the first time you've posted in three months, but no, you're really active. I mean, being gone for 2 and a half months doesn't imply at ALL that you've left.

When you start work on an mmorpg, we'll see if you don't dissappear for extended periods!

You make no sense.

Good luck with your MMORPG, I'm sure it'll be a hit.

I don't want it to be, my team does, but i do not. And to explain myself in-depth:

When you are faced with writing 400,000 years of history for a war-torn, godforsaken, experimental world with 4 continents and various islands, we will see if you do not vanish for extended periods.

now, as i said before: "POOF"

You still make no sense. You also do not see why you make no sense.

I don't see why I didn't lock this thread way back when people actually began seriously discussing trampolines in Tamriel...
