i liked the silt striders in morrowind but really it doesn't fit in with skyrim but a replacement like a giant mammoth like transportation system would be badass and fit in.
also i think their gunna be doing the stat based conversation thing like they did with fallout, at least i hope so the conversation wheel was useless as most just bribed everyone.

A lot of those problems could be fixed with mods. You're never really getting the most out of a Bethesda game if you're playing on a console. Despite how good they are, the Creation Kits are where they really shine.
Also, I'm not quite sure, but I believe I heard there would be additional travel alternatives in Skyrim, similar to the good old Silt Striders.

I'm also in agreement with most of you about fast travel. At the very least don't have every single town automatically fast travel accessible. If no one's played it, I believe Nehrim got it right in regards to travel. Fast travel disabled, teleport spells to main towns and mark/recall returns from Morrowind.
If you don't know what Nehrim is, it's a total conversion using Oblivion as a base. It might even have more voice actors that Oblivion lol (albeit in German). If you need something to help fill the void between now and 11.11.11 I recommend it, I sunk a good 100+ hours into it easily. The only caveat is it's entirely in German with English subtitles, but hey it can't be any worse than Oblivion conversations now can it?

Sorry consoles, PC only

Also I think there was an article somewhere that stated how NPCs actually pay attention to the things you do, IE get pissed off when you jump on their table and kick their bowls of fruit and nice china all over the place.
That always bugged me how you were basically regarded as a football player, no one cared if you used your feet to boot their merchandise/household items everywhere but were sure quick to blow the whistle as soon as you touched a single thing with your hands...

Definitely true - and I didn't mean to say that their games should ever rely on modding, because that would be inexcusable. And truthfully, the vanilla game is great in itself - what I meant is that it just can't compare to the modded experience, however.AvauntVanguard said:

That's most likely the main reason Bethesda wants to bring modding to the consoles. I mean I'll always be a PC gamer first and foremost, but let's be honest the profits are in the consoles and Bethesda knows that.FateOrFatality said:Definitely true - and I didn't mean to say that their games should ever rely on modding, because that would be inexcusable.

It will probably have to be limited in some way, a console just doesn't have the flexibility a PC has for game modding.
I don't know... I think I finished the whole Dark Brotherhood chain and I did get the super fast black horse. What was it called? Shadowmere? Either way, yes, that horse is good but that one horse doesn't really make up for my complaints about horses. However, I do enjoy riding the horses, the things I mentioned are, as I said, just annoyances.Deathlisk said:
In my opinion they definately need to sort out the crime system.
If i accidentally steal something and return it instantly then instantly all the guardsmen from across the world will known that i need punishing. It should be more like, the guards in that town all are on the lookout for you, but you can evade them by disguising yourself or whatever, and they will drop the search after a few ingame days.

I write conversationally, which sometimes includes hyperbole and exaggeration for effect. My degree is actually in English, with a minor in Education.Thedek said:
I second the recognition of things that I've done. I hated talking to NPCs and hearing talk about "the Hero of Kvatch" or something when as if I'm not standing RIGHT THERE!
What I would like to see:
Lockpicking alternatives for combat oriented characters - Character builds that have high combat related skills but low "practical" skills (such as security, armourer etc) should have the option to open doors by force. Obviously large, sturdy doors wont simply be knocked down, and rightly so, the player should have specialist skills to open such a door however I think its ridiculous that a strong brutish character cant open a flimsy wooden door by force. This, in my opinion, would allow players to focus more on increasing skills they want to improve instead of having to waste points on security so they can actually get some loot. I cant imagine some blood lusting, warhammer wielding hulk pulling out a little lockpick to calmly open a tiny treasure chest...
Weapon & armor customization - Probably the most obvious feature, simply let us use parts that we find such as reinforced armor plates, higher quality materials (whether it be fabric, wood or metal) etc to upgrade our equipment.
Combat styles - I would like to see different combat styles, for example if you are a swordsman, you could either have a very fast paced and flamboyant style but less accurate with each blow and do slightly less damage or could have a calmer, more focused style where precision and power is prioritised. This would apply to all weapons.
Less money - Money should be a highly valuable object with very little to be found or earned. It seems stupid to me that with every Bethesda RPG I play, I end up with vast amounts of money in very little time and with very little effort whether it be caps or gold. Earning say, 50 gold should feel highly rewarding for the player to receive where as such a sum is nothing in Oblivion. Although it seems very obvious, the less you do of something or the easier something is the less you should earn. Basically what I want is to cherish gold and have to spend it wisely. It goes without saying that all items should also be dramatically reduced in price.
Transportation services - I would prefer a realistic system, such as carriages, that you have to pay for to transport you from A to B if you do not want to travel by yourself. The benefits for your character would be less chance of attack, appreciate the scenery and get a well rested bonus or something (something that has significance unlike Fallout's Well Rested for example). I would prefer the fast travel system to just be cut out of the game to be honest. I also think there should be different "classes" of carriage, like poor, average, posh etc.
"Hardcore" mode - I liked the idea of what Fallout: New Vegas was trying to do, just not the execution. I dont want to go on and on about it so simply you need to eat, drink, sleep, temperature regulation, disease/illnesses (that have more noticable effects this time) etc etc etc...
I could go on and on and on... but I will stop there, there is a lot more I can think of but I doubt you want to hear them. I completely agree with the person who said NPCs items should be reset after a short period of time if they have been misplaced, I also think they should attack or at least tell the player off for persitant vandalism. Also agree with no more bugs or at least some patches, more voice actors and many more.
