Parchment and quills

Post by Imp »

Anyone out there knowing what the deal with parchment is? In Oblivion it is worthless and you can't do anything with it. Can your write on it if you have a quill in Skyrim-V.

If you mean like visible way of your hero writing on something - I don't think so, if you mean the way that it "pops out" and then you could write something using your keyboard - that would be possible. However, none of that was confirmed up to now so we don't know yet.

I don't think so, it would be cool but it's not really one of those "must haves" and they said that werewolves were not the "must haves", I think it would be less than that.

More or less sticking to the original, but I had to.

I haven't corrected anyone so far because I don't want to be rude. Thanks for doing what we all want to do sometimes.

If you'd been around a little longer, you'd know that Wolfie has some trouble with his writing(not entirely sure), it's not carelessness or due to typing at light speed as far as I'm aware. I don't think he's the kind of guy who takes any offence though, so no harm done.

No clue about any ability to write in the game, if you could I doubt you would be limited to using parchment and quills but would do so in some kind of journal or notebook that wouldn't really be a physical item but would be part of the menu. So I think they're just for show and detail, and giving backgrounds to quests etc.

I really hope you could write things in the game, I have a mod in Oblivion which lets me writes journals myself and I love it. So, not just parchments, but empty books too!
