i hope they didnt put some stupid VATS like thing in it

In my opinion, the latter-most.

i dont want to have the impression that the action cuts all the time....

The list is from a blog I wrote on Game Informer Online. It's a list of my ideas/wishes for the Elder Scrolls V. One of the staff members at GI, Ben Hanson, posted a comment on my blog saying, in so many words, that we would likely see the majority of the ideas on my list implemented in Skyrim. I thought this was cool because GI knows a lot about the game... So I posted all this on here to give you guys a heads up as to what features we can expect to see in the game.

Man, I'm getting really hyped for the information. Nick Breckon just posted via Twitter, "Every time I see TES V, I come away not knowing how I'd start my preview article as a journalist. Always a good sign." Not really sure what to think of it, but it sounds epic.

I don't remeber Tamrielic Lore, but I hope all the origanl Artifacts are in the game, from Arena onward. I can't remember if Daggerfall and Morrowind added new Artifacts or not. I miss the Ogamhainfinium. I hope it makes an apperiance. I can't remeber if Oblivion had it or not.


I can see this happening. I believe some kind of stuff you mentioned will happen. I do hope the spears and more weapons are added. I loved the throwing axes and daggers we had in Morrowind. Also I hope the cross bow comes back as well. That is the only "gun" I want in TES universe to see.


Please no V.A.T.S. Let there be improved combat but no V.A.T.S.


I want more guilds. Animal companions may or may not happen. Might feel like too much Falloutish so it will not happen because TES will be it's own game, not Fallout with magic. I don't see us Going to another Province. Maybe in an expansion but not in the vanillia game. Other wise if they have Skyrim and go to Black Marsh, me and others could complain, why is it called Skyrim and not Black Marsh then. Except for Arean which started it all, I believe TES games are set in one province at a time.


I can see this happening.


I don't see this happening. I think it will be the same. Game world just too big. I guess it's too hard to program, so if you caught then everyone knows about it. Yeah I don't like it, and hate that everyone has the "Planiteer" or knows everything you do that is illegal. Would be nice if Bethesda can figure out how to do this properly.


This is part of the stuff that isn't covered that you want. My guess, but I don't see this in the game at all. I think something different for training cap, but not like you asked. But who knows. Could be wrong. I like to see Morrowind style where you train, time passes by. I didn't like that you train in Oblivion but no time is passed by.


I agree as well, this can be part of the stuff you have asked for.


I think it will be the same. Takes alot of file size for this crap on the DVD. Sorry I don't care for voice acting so sorry I said crap. I said it's crap because of all the file size that voice acting takes up. So more varied voice acting would be more larger file sizes. I can't see how they can fix this.


Not sure about the map size. I never thought of it, or seen it mentioned before. I would like a bigger size that is for sure, but I guess it all comes down to their new "engine" and what the 360 and PS3 is capable of handling. I don't care for multiplaying, but now that I have my 9 year old son, who started playing when he was 3 with Morrowind, would be nice to play with him in co-op mode at least. This way Daddy and son can play the game at the same time with each other. But I don't see it happening though. TES is single player experiance.

Thanks for sharing, glad you posted it. I am looking forward to this and I hope alot of it is in the game that you mentioned.

You could turn it off, or its frequency. I just think it would look awesome casting a slow-mo spell, or flipping out of a tree while shooting someone in the face with an enchanted arrow. Once its appeal wore off you could turn it off. I'm guessing they are not going to be focusing on a better third person experience, although I could be wrong. So in that regard, the cam would give you an excellent source of seeing your person you've put so much time into, in action.

Brilliant logic, immaculately constructed.

guards know you killed some because they have rockcam

I like most of the ideas save for any form of V.A.T.S. making it into the game.

+1 Suppoert i like most of them. i dont realy care for some of them. some of them would make me kinda unhappy buy a VATS system or something like thay would definitely make me angry

:celebration:

I really don't want a VATS like system in Skyrim I'd actually get pissed.
and like someone else said why would ALL artifacts be in one place at one time? the fact that they don't all stick with one person doesn't mean they will all just happen to show up in Skyrim and pick you to be their new daddy. It would be weird if we could get every artifact that ever existed. And I think getting Daedric artifacts should be much harder. azura's star in oblivion? give me a break "go kill 5 weak vamps in that little cave directly behind me and I'll give you my most prized artifact" the story about how the vamps you killed BECAME vamps sounded harder than what you had to do...

I definitely don't agree with what you said about something VATS should be introduced to Skyrim. That would be absolutely horrible.

I also don't like the idea of animal companions.

The rest, I agree with.

Amazing, but are they allowed to say things like that ? I fear for this guys job ;(

Are you kidding me? He probably gets paid extra to say stuff like that!

I want to be able to name my horse.

Perfect. I think it is the mother. And if it is, this may mean that if any male of the dragonborn line mates with any race, the offspring character can be any race.

Kinda solves the problem of only (dragonborn) imperials being the player character choice if you are indeed the hero instead of the go-fer.

But on topic, I do hope the include an interactive map which allows you to make notes or mark the icons (maybe just with a color change) as "as already explored and/or finished". It bugged me that I couldn't do this in Oblivion, especially with the gates.

:shakehead:

Hah - I remember as Fallout was coming out, everyone was worried that it would be Oblivion with Guns. I suspect that Skyrim will be its own game, better than Oblivion (which I loved) and Fallout.

And I agree - No VATS please

I'm singing from the same sheet. good ideas except for the VATS. I can understand how it could seem appealing but fitting it in lore wise might be tricky. Animal companions? Hell yeah. How many folks do you think will roll there own D'Rizzt Do'Urden (Apologies if the spelling is incorrect) Dunmer characters with an animal companion. And being a bit of a hoarder especially in RPG's I believe quantity has it's own quality. So either more gear or just more of a variety.

I hope "most" included the more artifacts, stealing and reselling, and more faction ideas.

The OP list is so horrible and generic that it pretty much says nothing about what will actually be in the game.

I second this.

However I do agree with the rest of your suggestions, and really hope they do get implemented.
