Love that guy.
I despise him, and am glad he is set as essential so I can assault him repeatedly in a variety of ways. Most of his comments are either not funny or are basically "Don't agree with one of our design decisions? Well, fuck you!"

A shout that summons an enemy dragon. Sometimes wandering the forest gets boring and I need a giant fire breathing lizard to fight to keep me going. There's a shout that summons a friendly dragon, and I think bend will in the dragonborn DLC lets you ride a dragon, but sometimes I just want to fight one.

I know this won't happen, so I have two saves with dragon fights in them. One is a dragon lair fight, the other is a random dragon encountered in the fields. I have them backed up and ready to go in case I get bored.

captcha: Two hands. Why yes, I am skilled with two handed weaponry in the game.

But... but... dragons are the most boring enemies in the entire game! They're just oversized cliff racers!

I'd add a few more options when it came to the factions. It seems a bit weird to me that they included an option to go on a crusade against Dark Brotherhood but not for the Thieves Guild, I also think it's kinda fishy that you can literally become Thane for all of Skyrim, but you can't put yourself forward as a candidate for the throne or at least become a Jarl. I mean you could literally become the God of Madness last time around, but I can't even rule a poxy little hold like Morthal here?

Speaking of which, being Thane needs to have way more perks, yeah I get a decent weapon and the guards will excuse some of my bounties, but a little more then that would be nice.

Last of my big changes would be to make the Marriages a bit more complex. It really should take more then a simple little favor like finding them a book to make someone want to marry you. And once they do marry you it'd be nice if they could have more interactions then "Give me money," and "Cook me food" which really made me kind of uncomfortable after I thought about it for a bit.
I really don't need much, just a dialog option to say "I love you?" Maybe a hug button? A slight difference in their dialog to show some differences between them? Anything at all to make this feel like a loving relationship between two living beings?
I know that beyond the huge central characters Bethesda isn't the best with characterization but these are literally the characters you're supposed to grow the most attached to but they feel barely above every single other NPC in the game.


Aside from those it would really just be changing some little nitpicks I have like separating the pants and the shirts, adding back in Short Swords, and bringing back that Armorer skill (It just feels slightly, wrong to play Elder Scrolls without that tink tink tink sound every few minutes). I'd also go backwards a bit with the weapons skills, have axes, blunt weapons and blades separate skills, with one-handed/two-handed perks for each staying within their specific skill trees.

Much of the stuff I want most of you guys here already brought up.

but if there's one thing I wish Bethesda would add to DLC, it's at least for hair colors to be as customizable as they were in Oblivion.

Aw come on, how can you hate a guy like that?

Well, I did say how in my post.
Fair enough, I guess I just find him amusing and I appreciate how they have included him in most of the games as a easter egg, but then again I'm a sucker for easter eggs.

Definitely a major overhaul of how Bethesda writes characters, meaning they should actually have character for once. There isn´t a single NPC in the entire continent of Tamriel that I give a shit about. Not in any of the quest lines or otherwise. That has always been my only significant complaint with Bethesda.
I can agree to that one. The one character I loved the most was Shadowmere, and she wasn't even human!

What I would add would be a more in-depth RPG and armor system like Morrowind had, but keep the current combat and stealth systems, more detailed magic and spellmaking systems, and PORTABLE ALCHEMY TOOLS! Yes, Alchemy tables are all well and good, but can't we have just a mortar and pestle to carry with us, at least?

Some of my most fun battles in the game have been against Dragons, last night I had an Epic battle against a Serpentine Dragon and a bunch of Dragr Deathlords and Trolls VS Me, Jenassa and Odhaviing

We slaughtered them all... except Serpentine Ladyparts.. She flew away and I haven't seen her since

I want everyone to acknowledge that my character is X exotic race. I mean, I'm an argonian walking down the streets of Windhelm and there are nords insulting dark elves nearby, but they don't care about me, because I'm the bloody dragonborn! Sure, there are a few race based combat lines, but there are so many situations that make no sense based on my race. Especially since I can go into cities as a khajiit.

Also, I want to marry a khajiit, dammit.

Installation on the PS3...too much loading time!

And no perks/level cap. Maybe I'm missing the point, but if I spent an ungodly amount of time becoming a badass mofo dragonborn, I want to be THE badass mofo dragonborn! I'm NOT talking about cheating, understand that. I want a legitmate way to become something just short of a god!

What would I want in Skyrim? Good question. I was okay with the combat, as it wasn't supposed to be tense, just a "I'M A FUCKING BADASS, BITCHES!!" sort of deal. A lot of people have said put Dark Souls-esque combat in, but that would just ruin the game somewhat for me. I play Elder Scrolls when I want to screw around with the world. I play Dark Souls when I expect a world to clobber me to bits and explain why I suck as a player. I think that it's for now.

Whoops, didn't really answer the question. What I'd like is the ability to clobber a dragon and actually make it worth a damn. Make the dragons have better AI for a start.

Oh, forgot a big one...

STOP MAKING THE GAME A GLITCH-INFESTED MESS ON RELEASE! WILL IT HURT BETHESDA TO POLISH THEIR GAMES AT THE VERY LEAST!!??

You know what? I haven't seen my character perform a finishing move on a Dragon in AGES, if they could patch it to make them happen more consistently, that would be rad

Spell making with alot more spell variety, not counting mods magic feels like just another way to kill instead of being a set of tools for a wizard.
