fossils and bones?

[xzirri]

I've read the faq's, and i wonder if it is possible to add some fossils and bones of extinct species around in caves and dungeons etc. in tamriel.

in our world, people have found fossils and bones of extinct species, so i think this would make it more realistic.

these fossils may be rare, and if you find them, maybe you could pick them up and sell them? just like the usual bones and skulls around in the stock game, but the difference is that these fossils/bones can be worth something. another idea i got is that you can add a quest, just like the nirnroot-quest (find 10 fossils of this specie, or find every bone in the extincterd specie's body.

maybe you also can create details in the cave walls that looks like fossils of different species? these are just ideas though, and i'm sorry if i just wasted 5-10 minutes of your life with bad ideas :p

That works on the assumption that Tamriel ever really evolved, and was not simply sculpted by gods. There is a heckuva lot of evidence that the Gods are very very real in Tamriel, By most reckonings the world is only a few thousand years old anyway, so only the very oldest peoples would be anywhere close to being fossilised yet.

Dead species don't dream. Therefore, they're not in the Godhead. Therefore, they don't exist. So, no fossil. What isn't remembered ceases existing.

Well um its because of the spite of The Earthbones that decreed, "You shall not have any other fossils before Us"...

haha ok, thanks for the bother anyway. but how can it be that you can find bones and so on in the game if they cease to exist?

Because fossils and bones are two different things.

There are dead emperor crabs under the water. Those are bones.
