Hey mod devs,

could please someone create a nice "smoke my pipe" emote. I just love to smoke my tobacco during playing and it would be great if there would be an addon, that would enable my character to sit and smoke a pipe. If you would combine it with a rocking chair, that would be just awesome!! :)

    Not sure that existed in the "medieval setting" world we play in, no matter how fantasy-ish it is ! :-)

    And smoking / showing characters smoking in movies or TV shows is forbidden in France and probably in other countries too. Not sure how it would apply to a US created video game but there might be an issue here, perhaps.

    And you know, smoking is a health hazard ! B)

    I believe people smoked pipes also in the "medieval fantasy times", for sure, there was some kind of "lighters", or how about a pretty steam-punkish small dwemer pipe with a lighter already included in it :)?


    really it is forbidden there? I did not know that....

    Murdering innocents with the justice system is ok, but don't you dare show someone smoking a pipe! Governments really have nothing better to spend their money and time on it seems.

    It has nothing to do with it being legal or moral (movies and videogames show theft, crime and murder all the time) but it has everything to do with setting a social norm and discouraging smoking as an acceptable social norm. And I don't believe the french were the first ones doing this, I believe Lieutenant Columbo was one of the first TV heroes to give up his cigars and that was long ago ad US-made. Nowadays I don't see anyone smoking on CSI or Grey's Anatomy unless it's relevant to the story and shown in a negative light.

    Anyway I wasn't discussing about the relevance of such laws, but merely mentioning why it would possibly be a problem if introducing a pipe smoking emote (which I'd personally love to see and use).
