You dont havto slay cats, but why not let us who want to? Sounds a bit selfish?
Oh wait you're serious aren't you?
Well, maybe they should be killable with the Justice System update (and may as well make the bounty for killing each 9999999g).
Ofc im serious, there is very little difference between a cat and a mudcrab really.I dont see why cat & dogs couldnt be part of cooking & alchemy recepies etc. Would make sense really.

Aye, long pig is as fully eatable as regular pig. I might be called a culturalist for not wanting dog or cat eating in my country, and to heck with foreign culture, but yeah. Wanna eat dogs, then we might as well allow the eating of human corpses.
And once that's allowed, well, then, the cultural Marxists can truly kiss Western culture goodbye, and then they can throw their victory party. Bad enough they want legal polygamy (but polyandry is beyond the pale) and will probably get it.

lol, i know i shouldnt bite but i cant help myself: What if I am an asian then, would that make any difference if I might ask? I probably wouldn´t eat a cat IRL unless i absolutely had to, but pretending to do so in a fantasy game? Sure! I can distinguish reality from digital worlds so I dont see any issues with it.
And i see a commercial use in having vermin npc´s being killable. A cat paw for lucky charm? A dogs tail for strenght etc.

Kypho✭✭✭✭There's many slinkin' about in towns and just outside. Lizards, chickens, pygmy guar, monkeys, and frogs all take an arrow to the knee (and until recently even dropped guts so I can fish in lakes!)
I don't particularly like cats IRL, but I am not cruel to them. Would be nice to shoot a few in game though.
I am sure some 'Cat lovers' (read: delusional people who have fallen for their evil charms) will disagree but studies have shown that when you die they will eat your face. (Dogs may just pine for the loss of their master for a few days before eating your face). It's all good.
Let me shoot cats (not Khajiit, I am happy to keep that to npc's and Cyrodil).
Thanks in advance.
I am not a catlover eighter, but:
If we are locked into a cell with you dieing, and i am almost dead from hunger, you can be sure i would kill you and eat your face. and i bet you would do the same. i hope its all good.

Oh, I'm not cruel to children IRl, either, but I wouldn't mind the outlet for anti-PC rage (can't smoke across the street from an empty park because it has kiddie stuff in it? And I have to pay $13 a pack because of weenies and their weenism? Phwagh).
Gimme cats any day, no one forces PC garbage down my throat over cats.
Lemme put arrows in kids to *** off the anti-birth control/human feelings worshiper crowd, just as putting arrows into cats would put PETA panties in a twist.
omg I was talking in another thread about how I wanted them to add killable children NPCs too.
Not cats though, or dogs. Animals are wonderful.
But virtual death to all cyber children please.
damn you just need to go to cyrodiil. plenty cyber childrens2 -

LOL funny. Cat and Dog ... if you dont see a difference between them and a mudcrab, then you are Asian or need to see a doctor. In ES Cat and Dog arent there for food. Mudcrab yes.... And well. they have owners, so you should get killed before they get lower than 2 pts health.
I would like if they would allow me to kill you and eat your liver, because why not? you arent much different than a pig, or horse, or any other animal. Its true, just open yourself and see.
New potion from you is to turn into zombie for 30 min maybe? that would be fun.

How about a toddler hand for luck?
I mean, those effing three year olds have all the luck, they can mooch and not do any work. Lemme have their paws for luck. They have it even easier than poor hard done by refugees and "temporary" foreign workers after all, gimme a pale white tiny toddler hand for bad luck.

only if I can kill dogs too. I can't stand dogs and there incessant barking in this game.
This has a point. I dont stand some humans and i can kill em in cyrodiil. if they dont kill me first lol. Anyway. yes. Make dogs killable, and the ppl who want to kill dogs and cats killable everywhere pls. That would be fun.
PS: make cats and dogs with 100k health and with 100k aoe dmg thx.
but really ZoS. Its off topic, but why cant i just go and kill lowbys? it has no sense. i want to kill lowbys. Would be fun to kill 10+ lvl 8 ppl just for fun.Edited by Kypho on August 9, 2014 7:01PM0 -

Some people do eat dogs - and some people still do eat other people, prion disease be damned. That's just a "white lie" designed to control the little people, dontcha know. Taboos against eating humans is just a christian missionary BS thing, after all, forcing values on those who didn't ask for them and all that.
I'm all for keeping missionaries out of third world countries, and am for keeping British ways out of non-British countries; but I -do- resent non-British trying to impose non-British ways on British-heritage countries.

That was an interesting plot twist, I didnt see that one comming thats for sure!
I was under the impression we where discussing cat npc´s here, I suspect you are in the wrong thread.
Cats have owners, you cant kill em. why? because owner cant kill you for molesting the cat. discussion over?
How would you know that? It could be possible that cats and dogs are wild too you know and i think its a huge waste of ingame materials. A cat dress or a dog coat etc could be a wonderful thing to impress other players with.

Because most people's RL cats and dogs are important members of their family and seeing people running around killing them in game would be just as distasteful as seeing people running around killing children. RL crabs are something you eat at the sea food restaurant. Pretty simple really. As a cat lover I'd like to thank ZOS for that!
I dont buy that. If people cant distinguish between whats real life and fiction they should perhaps find some other hobby and not be playing games or watch movies either really.1 -

Does that go for killable children, too, or just killable dogs and cats?
I recently came across an article where some African leader prohibits dog-keeping, because he sees it as a "white thing", and would rather us in the West spend our money on his illigitimate kids rather than on feeding our non-human pets.

Just because it's fictional, and not real life, doesn't mean that it doesn't illicit an emotional response. That is the definition of good fiction. I'm not in favor of censorship, and of course there are going to be games and movies where children and animals are tortured and killed, but those are going to illicit a very different emotional response than what ZOS is going for in this game.0 -

It does not to me. I don't know Pickton's victims, any more than I know the victims of the fall hunt - but what is the basis of caring? Genetics? If that's the case, then why should I care about ANYONE who doesn't share my genetic profile? Grey eyes, light brown hair, just light enough to attract YT hate.

Yes, but we are talking about cat & dog npcs in a game here, last time i played skyrim & ESO i could hunt for deer, rabbits and rats and what not. Rabbits are a common pet aswell as rats?Edited by Raash on August 9, 2014 7:35PM0 -
Araflin✭✭✭Careful now! I hunt, as a matter of life. I shoot arrows into boar and deer once or twice a year. (In season, avoiding Bambie's mom).
Not guns. Bows. If I wing something I have to track it and bring it in. It's law and sensible, and can take days.
I just started this as a lark and a discussion. Feels like it went to a dark place just because I humorously wanted equality in the animal world of ESO and a bit of a chat.
Understand the intention, read the comments. Reign it in. PLZTHXNP!

Because most people's RL cats and dogs are important members of their family and seeing people running around killing them in game would be just as distasteful as seeing people running around killing children. RL crabs are something you eat at the sea food restaurant. Pretty simple really. As a cat lover I'd like to thank ZOS for that!
I dont buy that. If people cant distinguish between whats real life and fiction they should perhaps find some other hobby and not be playing games or watch movies either really.
Just because it's fictional, and not real life, doesn't mean that it doesn't illicit an emotional response. That is the definition of good fiction. I'm not in favor of censorship, and of course there are going to be games and movies where children and animals are tortured and killed, but those are going to illicit a very different emotional response than what ZOS is going for in this game.
Yes, but we are talking about cat & dog npcs in a game here, last time i played skyrim i coud hunt for deer, rabbits and rats and what not. Rabbits are a common pet aswell as rats?
I see what you are saying, but this really boils down to an emotional issue, and you can't apply straight logic to it. Yes, rabbits and rats CAN be pets, but they are more often food or pests in Western society. Dogs and cats are almost exclusively pets, and very beloved pets. I'm usually a very logical person, but am very close to my pets and find it emotionally distressing to see cats or dogs killed or tortured in movies. I understand that movies where that happens are usually dark and trying to illicit that response. I understand that, I'm not confusing real life with fantasy. I'm saying ZOS isn't going for a dark/horror feel where we see gore and beheadings and children and pets being killed.
