1) Being able to tell your follower to stay at a distance , like in Fallout
2) store all command ,weather in a chest or drawers in your newly built house(s).
3) There are five digits on each hand how about giving two rings to wear like in previous Elder Scrolls games?
4) A horse for your follower, many be horse armor as well
Thank you hope to spend many more hundreds of hours in my second world.
P.S. Future game suggestion How about a Pirate type of sandbox game?
