Should a pipe smoking emote be added to the game?

nursingninja

greylox

Yes

Absolutely. It's rated mature, loadsa fantasy characters smoke pipes, smoking is cool and you could have smoke ring emotes! No doubt someone will be triggered by virtual smoking though....

Saeralyhn

Yes

I personally wouldn't use it, but if people enjoy it, why not let them?

DBZVelena

No

We do not condone the promotion of the use of smoking paraphernalia.

Pwoo

Yes

There's already a Skooma bubbler in the game, no harm in adding an emote as well... for RP purposes obviously.

Prabooo

Yes

yes please

Nestor

No

While I would love to see this, it is one of those things that would bring negative attention to the game, mostly from non gamers who do not appreciate RP nuances. It would be seen as an encouragment to smoking by the various nanny groups that "know whats best for us and will rise up to save us from ourselves"


Bonus if you know what Rush song the quoted phrase comes from

JobooAGS

Yes

I dont smoke and I dislike smoking, but I dont see why not. Let it happen.

Yes

Maybe as part of a wiseacre personality.

Yes

Please and yes. I would buy this. But it must be along curved pipe, like Gandalf smokes. Thanks!

Starlock

No

There is no precident for pipe smoking in lore. A skooma bubbler, maybe, but not a pipe. Tobacco is not a thing in the game world.

No

True, but it is an art form after all and that should never be narrowed through any moral stanards from our reality, because it is a fantasy world. So let's imagine some non-toxic smoking in tamriel, which even can act in beneficial ways for people's health, if the writers want it so...

Who said, it has to be called Tobacco? Infinite possibilities here...

Nestor

No

There are a couple of pipes you can get from Legerdemain activites

idk

No

Smoking is bad for our characters health.

There are pipes placed as furniture items scattered around all over the game. Dozens of them.

Kalik_Gold

Yes

Wouldn't mind a pipe emote or a cigar rolling emote... for that skooma

Tobacco is an alchemy ingredient in Oblivion.

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Tobacco

and let's not forget the wonderful stealables ESO gave us:

Alchemical Igniter
This gold-plated device, designed to ignite a smoking pipe, was crafted by the great Telenger, and bears his mark.

Bosmeri Noble's Omnium-Gatherum
Combination folding corkscrew, pipe-cleaner, and crystal quizzing glass, with the crest of House Caerllin, in a chamois pouch.

Bramblebreach Pipe
A long and heavy pipe, constructed of smooth wood. The skilled craftsmanship sets it apart from others of its kind.

Meerschaum Sweetgnat Kiseru
Long-shanked, small-bowled pipe carved from meerschaum, used in Karthdar for smoking small dried bugs like sweetgnats.

Olive-Wood Pipe
A lacquered wooden pipe, cut from a Craglorn olive tree.

This list isn't comprehensive and intentionally leaves out pipes that are explicitly for skooma.

Hrogun

Yes

Pipe-weed farming has always been one of my favorite activities in Lotro. Considering that Oblivion gives us Tobacco, I would be delighted to see the same thing available in ESO. Take fishing, do the same thing with tobacco.

Grimm13

Yes

Not a smoker but I am not against an emote in game. Too many worried folks out there concerned what it might look like, a more realistic world. Besides I have my "Kiss This" emote why others have a smoking one. /kissthis

No promoting addictions is not a smart move for companies these days, especially where children play.

There's already skooma and lots of mead and pipes laying on tables and, besides, children aren't supposed to be playing here!

Under age Teens still can..

Well, you have lots of drunkards in Tamriel and even drunk emotes, does that mean ESO condones drinking booze until you pass out? Nope, I haven't heard anyone against it and alchol is very much a poison that can cause severe problems to your body including death but smoking a pipe? JESUS GET THE CROSS!
It's a double standard

ArthurMatheson

Yes

The fact underage people are still able to play the game even if they're not supposed to doesn't mean a thing, underage people are not supposed to be playing the game, if they see something they're too young for that's their and their parents' responsibility, not Zenimax's if they ever will decide to implement such thing in the game.

Maryal

No

Smoking is not cool. It's not a flattering look and it makes you smell bad. It reminds me of that saying "stupid is as stupid does". Why not just wear a placard that says 'kick me' instead.

I hope you're kidding.. characters are fictional and the ability to use an emote where your character smokes doesn't mean you're forced to use it, in my head my character doesn't drink, dance and doesn't know how to play any instruments outside of the drum, I just don't use those emotes. Bringing unhealthy habits as well in the emotes just add more character options like "he doesn't indulge much in smoking but doesn't refuse when offered", "he collects pipes and loves to show off once in a while", "he's an alchemical herbalist that specializes in smokable medicine" or "he's a low class chain smoker, keeps coffing and wheezing because of that and everyone looks down on him, but he's got the best insight in magic than all of them so they try to stand him at least during expeditions"
It makes character, even if an unhealthy one, and that only adds to the social interactions that emotes are supposed to be part of, why are you allowed to be a genocidal murderer ingame and can get away with all your crimes trough bribes and corruption but can't use a pipe?
