Beggars

Please let us talk to and donate to beggars. They already have voice lines, I can hear them wailing. I feel bad running by them amd offering them nothing. Let us be charitable. Thank you.

when i saw the thread title i thought this was going to be complaining about players begging for stuff in zone chat lol

i dont see anything wrong with being able to talk to any of the normal npc beggers (that are not related to the ones for the achievements for donations/begging already)

there is one at the entrance of morkul stronghold in wrothgar. he's really close to the wall so it is tricky to use the blade of woe on him.

and there is one when you first enter gnisis in vvardenfell --- also close to the wall so its tricky to kill him

also outside every wawa, every fast food drive through, every gas station and on all four corners of just about every intersection here in philly

Well, they aren't exactly beggars and they aren't after soulgems, but in Kragenmoor you can find 2 npc trying to buy the souls of the slaves around there. Creepy guys...

Or you can interact with them because it’s a game. OP is asking for choice for little RP things like this - absolutely zero negatives surrounding this being implemented in my opinion 😁

Belkarth in Craglon has some, they ask for money but you can not give any. Who is stupid.
On the other hand if they did ZoS should keep track of donation and list the yearly income of the beggars after one year

More relevant if you could give 1, 10 or 100 gold.

Last year or year before, two players role-played as beggars at Vivic City wayshrine. They were a hoot.

Sorry, back on topic, yes please allow us to give npc beggars things such as food ingredients, food, drinks, gold and the npc gear we find.

I don't want to ignore them, that is the point of this post.

It's weird but the "just ignore it" people never want to follow their own advice.

I agree. I recall Oblivion I think let you donate for a special temporary effect? We could use more of that here.

Necrotech_Master · September 2023

there are a few interactions that can do that

i think there are beggars in non-dlc zones that count towards an achievement, and give you a small buff when you donate to them

there are also npcs in wrothgar which also function like this, i think 1 of them is for an achievement, and 2 of them are priests of malacath/trinimac and i think you can also donate to them for a short buff

i dont think this is the first thread ive seen asking for something like this though lol

Jaraal · September 2023

I feel bad when I kill beggars and the only thing I find on their corpse is a morsel of bread furnishing. But when I find that purple blueprint in their pocket that's worth hundreds of thousands, I know I'm doing the lord's work.

Hail Sithis!

It’s an achievement called “Give to the poor.” UESP has a page about it.

It’s like the Lightbringer and Crome Pays achievements.

And more importantly, let us feed the stray dogs too. Or better yet, let us actually adopt one of the strays and give them a forever e home.

JanTanhide · September 2023

There are a few that I can think of scattered throughout the game that are sort of beggars. But you have to go up to them to start the conversation. Once in the conversation you are given the option to donate gold to them or tell them to you know what. LOL.

I've done all the options to see their responses. But to your point, yes, I think we should be able to interact with them and choose whether to give them gold, food, etc. or not.

I want to be able to soul-trap kill those two, for the irony of it.
