In order not to spoil the beautiful "TESV Teaser" thread, I opened this one...
So what do you expect from Skyrim, things that you didn't find sufficient in Oblivion...
Or maybe do you want some old things again, like things from Morrowind.
When you post, could you also answer this: How do you think they solved the Emperor problem?
Here are the things I want, well I have many ideas in my mind but these are what I think at the moment:
1-More civil life!
Seriously, there were like 5 pieces of villager clothing in Oblivion and after a day with hacking&slashing I would want to experience a more civilized life. More civil clothing, better houses, more sociable citizens, more voice actors! (Seriously why the hell Baurus and a simpel Redguard have the same voices?) Bigger towns, more citizens! And seriously I dont want to hear the same "There's been some terrible trouble at Anvil chapel" rumor or after I beat the main quest "Oblivion is no more!" from different citizens.
2-Better animations, better physics...
Although Oblivion was indeed a revolution in video gaming history, Havok physics engine kinda sucked in the game. Also, we always saw the same animations. Many mods were created for increased animation types and I hope Bethesda saw at least some of them!
3-Better spells
It would be a pain in the ass to be a 100% mage. Even if you were determined to become a mage you would always have to use your sword and in the end you would see yourself in a bulky armor with a sword and rarely using spells. I know that Nords aren't good mages but I seriously want more powerful spells.
4-Weapons and Armor
There weren't too many types of Armor and Weapons. Gloves should increase melee damage in my opinion. Maybe you can cut someone's hand and they won't be able to use a sword? It was super easy to obtain the Umbra ( oh Talos, sweet Umbra... ) so it would be better if there were more unique weapons and armor with harder quests to obtain them.
5-Roleplaying
We could barely roleplay! I mean, maybe after saving the world, again, I wan't to become a peaceful bartender! Things will get complicated ,maybe, but there were very good mods for jobs in Oblivion.
It was really bad to start in a prison and modders fixed that too.
For example there was a mod that you came with a ship to Cyrodiil and you could choose a background, how wealth you were etc...
6-Horseback Fighting!
It was the most stupid thing in Oblivion. Just because a mud crab was chasing you, you had to dismount and kill the sorry bastard and mount again and go on. Horseback fighting ( maybe even combined with spears! ) would be a brand new experience!
7-Companions!
Heey! I am an Arch-Mage! And all I get is an Apprentice? No battlemage or no Raminus Polus? Maybe it would be combined with main quest line. For example after you did something in the name of the Empire or something, they would give you a "Legionnaire Sergeant" at your command and he would come with you, full battle suit! It would be very good to have a small band of my own!
8-Pitched Battles!
We only had one in Oblivion, the Great Gate quest, and we only had like 10 soldiers at our command..
I would like to see a battle line with archers and swordsmen and some cavalry, provided if they have horseback fighting!
9-Assassin stuff and better Bounty.
Dual wield swords would complete an assassins inventory, if they have the same assassin stuff from Oblivion. And come on, you kill an Imperial Ranger in a forest, nobody sees you, then you go to a town and you get arrested!!!
You kill someone, 1 second later, a guard walks next to you, and he sees the body and you next to it and says " This humble soldier is at your service! "
10-Inventory
How come you can carry 10 Daedric Armor, but then cannot pick up an apple when it is 200/200? It is ironic!
Okay, your encumberance is maybe 1000 and you have the right but come on, which being can carry 10 Armor, 10 Swords and at least a million keys and papers!?
11-Last but not least: Relations
Can't we have political relations with Counts or landlords? Like if a count likes us he will give protection or cheaper stuff from his markets? Or better relationship with citizens would mean that they will sometimes come with you for example. You can easily build up a relation from 0 to 100, which is super unrealistic. Relation could be developed, instead of completeing a quest and making your relationship much better. If you ask assistance they will give you potions or other stuff...
(There are many things on my mind but it would make the post way to long, so I would comment on your posts to express my opinions further )
