How about "disguises" as in if I kill someone in town wearing one set of armor and then run out of town and switch into new armor and re enter town the guards shouldn't recognize me
5 Tiny Things I Hope Get Changed in Skyrim

- Start date
The former has already been addressed according to the preview the Escapist did I believe, but may I ask which skills you never used? I can't remember any useless ones tbh :\Susan Arendt said:
OT: Really, REALLY agree with the silt strider system (or well, something more appropriate for the snowy regions of Skyrim). I'd love to see the fast travel system abolished. I know it'll piss people off upon seeing the news of it, but that's about the extent of pissing off the fanbase. In reality, no one's gonna not buy the game for it and most people will enjoy the game more for it's absence because the world will not feel small thanks to the fact you can just pull a "BEAM ME UP SCOTTY" to anywhere on the map. Just bring back the Mark/Recall spells and maybe the Divine/Almsivi Intervention (or something more appropriate to the realm).
Could also pull it off with a sort of "Hardcore mode" or something, I'd be fine with that as well, although I maintain the above would result in a superior experience for most/all players.
Personally, my wish (aside the above which is probably the biggest one) is bringing back some of the Morrowind spells and introducing some new ones (aside from the dragon shouts). Mostly I miss Levitate/Jump and as previously mentioned, Mark/Recall/Interventions. I'd also love to see Telekinesis given a combat value so you can grab stuff and throw it at people, but I'm not sure how well they can pull that off (God knows TFU games failed miserably)
Oh and more of a concern than anything else, but I hope we won't ever run out of dragons, doubt it'll happen, but just extrapolating from the "there's about 50 dragon shouts" thing. I don't care if there's 50 or 2000 of them, if they're limited in quantity and don't respawn, I'll run out of them eventually and it'll kinda suck to see the most awesome creature in the game banished from existence :\
On the topic of VO work, how many people would happily jump at the chance to voice some characters in Skyrim/Fallout 4 whatever, even if Beth didnt pay you, i would id love to know that somewhere a little piece of work i'd done was in a blockbuster, hell any game. they could credit all the volunteer VO guys in the credits.? anyone think this'd work?
Oh, I have some: Fix the weapon racks. I hated having all those empty weapon racks sitting around in my house, because it took like 20 minutes to get a weapon to stay in place. Armor stands that you could "open" and then put armor into, causing it to appear on the stand would be cool too.
Make the player able to cast spells while riding a horse. I hated how you couldn't fight a minotaur and then heal yourself riding away on the horse. And while we're on that topic, hopefully they'll avoid having the arrows and weapons worn on the back disappear when the player gets on a horse. I never understood that.
Have the player put their shield on their back when not in use. It looked so strange to be lugging around that heavy shield in one hand while sprinting through a forest.
And most importantly, DO NOT make touching someone else's fork a crime potentially punishable by death. That was probably the most ridiculous, immersion-breaking thing in the game--you could waltz into the innkeeper's bedroom, trash his desk and throw all his potted plants out the window, and he'd still greet you with a smile, but Nine help you if you so much as idly bumped into the water pitcher on the bar in a room full of people.

Agree with all but the last one, and I never played morrowind anyway. My only real hope for the game (and I think this has already been confirmed) is that the Dark Brotherhood returns. I had so much fun with the brotherhood in Oblivion.
Yeah, there should be a value threshold on objects as to when it constitutes stealing- when you pick an object up, the game checks its value in gold and if it's under a certain value says "it's junk, let'em have it."
i always thought the third person view was very lame, and utterly useless.
maybe make it better or get rid of it entirely?

that was for me, the best story line (quest line) in the game, very deep and interesting.Harrowdown said:

I've played a bunch of Bethesda's games, and the only one where I experienced more then 5 bugs that I noticed during the entire time I played it was Fallout NV.
I would like to see a fast travel system in the game where you could only travel to major locations, then put the better more dangerous areas further away from the cities, or in harder to reach areas.

But that was my favorite part. No matter what you did, you had a worshipper of Namira, and it was hilarious.CommanderKirov said:
OT:I agree with the house thing, I was constantly afraid that one misstep would capzize my entire bookshelf, and I knew I couldn't fix that.
More animated citizens in the town, it seems so awkward for everyone to just be standing around not doing much, especially in a faux-medieval environment.
I'd like to see street performers, artists, musicians and the like. That'd let them add tremendous amounts of character into each town easily, and also perhaps allow for some funny dialogue (both in the performers themselves and the reactions they get.)
It just seems that having the gladiator battles in Cyrodil was a bit lack-luster in regards to entertainment in the Imperial hub.
Maybe mudcrab fights, arranged and bet on in the poorer towns.

I want to be able to sleep in the bed of the person I just killed. They owned the bed, I killed them, therefore I should own the bed, dammit!
And have competing factions. I remember Morrowind being full of people pissed off at each other, and you could join either side and be pissed off too. There were more guilds in that game than you could shake a stick at, and they were all busy shaking sticks at each other. In Oblivion, there were only four guilds and not one of them ever had issues with each other. The quest lines never overlapped. That was BORING AS HELL! Bring back inter-guild competition!

I agree, mainly with the Silt Striders, if you want fast travel I say do it as a spell or an item, and like a lot of people have added let me return items that I've picked up or have people not give a damn about the empty vase on their table. I'd also like a spot to equip capes or cloaks, I don't really care for the look of most armor and I like being able to cover it up.
