You walk into an inn after a tough day of adventuring, and you belly up to the bar for some mead, ale, and/or wine. You order literally every drink on the menu. You down them all. Nothing happens, except your stamina regeneration is sunk, which doesn't matter because you have a full stamina bar and no enemies around.
So let's figure out a way for your alcoholic tendencies to affect your game, eh?
Let's say your character has a favorite drink and a least favorite drink. For this example, let's say you love Honninbrew mead, and you detest Black-Briar mead.
When you walk into the inn and speak to the innkeeper, check how much stock he or she has of each drink. Which one is stocked in the highest quantity?
If it's your favorite, great, drink up and experience a mischief effect, which is any one of the following:
Mischeif Effects:
- Shoot up the inn with arrows. As long as you don't hit anyone, you won't get arrested.
- Strip off all of your clothes and jump on tables. Fun.
- Take all of the free stuff that is available to you. You're a great customer.
- Trash your room. This can be accomplished with a racial power or a shout. Again, no bounty and no arrests.
- Brawl with a willing combatant. It's all in good fun.
Now, if your least favorite drink is the one that's fully stocked (innkeeper had more of it than any other drink), you're in for some trouble. Drink up and choose one of the negative effects below.
Negative Effects:
- Before going to bed, drop half of your gold in a dresser or chest. Somebody ripped you off. Leave the next morning without it.
- if losing gold sucks, how about losing your favorite weapon? Sucks to be you. Same thing as above. Leave it in a drawer or chest.
- Punch a bard. You, sir, are going to jail unless you can kill all of the guards.
- Time to bust out that mayhem scroll or mayhem spell. Enjoy.
- Extreme mode: Dump all of your armor and clothing into a dresser or chest, then fast travel naked to a random discovered location. This is a blackout hangover. Try to find your way to the next city alive.
Lastly, if a neutral drink is stocked in the highest available quantity, drink it up and take a neutral effect:
- Mild bed spins. Spin the game screen in circles (right analog stick if on PS3/XBox) and try to walk to your room. Fun little minigame.
- Look up something on a wiki that's of interest to your character. You talked someone's ear off, and got some info on something.
Any other ideas for in-game punishments or rewards for drinking?
