Even if it means coming out of retirement.

Because the lack of these things makes little sense.

1. Add children of other races. The fact that there are no Elven, Khajit, or Argonian children, and that Imperial, Nord, and Redguard children all have the same face(not to mention the fact that Braith, the Redguard child, doesn't look like a Redguard) is plain silly. Especially in Hearthfire if you're playing non-human and want a non-human child.

Fallout 3 and NV had children of every ethnicity. But for some reason, all of Skyrim's children are like the twins in The Shining.

2. Add in Khajit, Wood Elf spouses. It seems odd how they are missing from the list. There's more than a few of each of them who could arguably be weddable.

I get that marriage is a new concept to Bethesda's games, but they should at least have an male and female option of every playable race. And there are only two Redguards you can marry in the game and both are women, no men.

3. The ability to marry already-married characters if their spouse dies. If you can kill them yourself without being caught, or if they're killed in a dragon or vampire attack, I see no reason why the surviving spouse shouldn't be able to move on after a given period of time. And ones who have children, the children could be auto-adopted.

Considering there's the option to adopt children if you kill both their parents, it seems like this should be there too.(Sigrid or Adrianne would make epic spouses)

4. The ability to give NPCs gifts like clothing, armor, and weapons. And have them wear what you give them. In Oblivion and Fallout you could reverse-pickpocket stuff onto people and they would equip it, so I don't see why Skyrim lacked that feature.

It'd also be nice for characters like Illia, Rayya, and Senna, who never take their damn hoods off.

Not happening.

Bethesda is done with Skyrim, they (sadly) won't be adding anything anymore.

They're certainly not going to make new content for people's play-house fantasies.

These are good ideas . Especially #4.

Yes, this is really important!!! Imagine the millions of people that will buy and rebuy Skyrim again because you can marry Khajiit and adopt even more totally not annoying or creepy kids?

Don't NPC's already wear armour you give them? I'll admit I have almost no knowledge of this as I have literally never used a follower (except when forced by a quest) in all my 200+ hours of playing so far, but one thing I did do was give Sven (the bard in Riverwood who becomes your buddy if you give his fake letter to Camilla) some good light armour and a sword and shield enchanted with extra damage/defence so that maybe he'd be of some use defending the villagers if there was a vampire attack on Riverwood, my favourite little village.

He appeared to be wearing all the gear immediately after giving it to him.

Also I've dropped pieces of armour before and people have run up to me and said something like "Can I have this? Great! I'll use it right away!".

Next game...hopefully.

Serena removes her hood.

To everyone who can only say "Bethesda has moved on" or "Skyrim is done": Go post somewhere else if you can't actually contribute something to the conversation.

________________________________

On NPCs, I was referring to normal clothes as well, not just armor.

I was also referring to every NPC, not just followers(I tried reverse pickpocketing armor onto Senna, she didn't wear it.)

Incorrect. Serana puts on a hood.

Because she's a vampire, and goes out in daylight.

Her blood would boil inside her veins otherwise.

but they have moved on, so no matter how good or popular suggestions are, it doesn't matter as they will not be incorperated..

However, there is a thread for ideas for the next TES game, Here is a link

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1465112-official-beyond-skyrim-tes-vi-24/

there ya go, happy posting

Yeah, who cares? Just because they have moved on doesn't mean we aren't allowed to talk about it.

Also being done with DLC development doesn't mean they aren't going to be putting out more patches. Lord knows plenty of quests are still bugged and some utterly incompletable.

And we've seen some of the things they've been able to implement in patches. New animations, features, new lines from characters. The only thing I listed that couldn't be done in a patch update is #1. Since everything else can use in-game data and can already be done on the PC version via console commands.

So if you don't like that, go post in that topic yourself. I want to suggest things for SKYRIM, not Elder Scrolls VI: Wherever The Hell The Setting Is.

It just seems like a pointless discussion thinking of suggestions for a game which has already had its final piece of content.

I can agree with you. Bethesda can always put more patches, even if they're not new content, simple bug fixes would make me happy. Your ideas are good too. Even if their not major ideas, they help make the game more enjoyable, which in itself is enough. Especially for console players who can't use mods or console commands.

As long as people can hope...

Hate to break it to you, but those minuscule things are not something Beth is going to "come out of retirement" for.

yeah, what the monster said. Time to let go. Skyrim is done.

If they did another patch I can see the OP's last one a possibility. At the moment I think NPCs only wear stuff with a better armour rating than their default gear. I'm guessing it's just a matter of un-checking the unplayable box on NPC's gear so the player can take it off of them, as a crude solution anyway.

Personally I don't understand why the Blizzard spell hasn't been fixed. Such an epic anti-climix.

Man people here are negative.

OT: sounds like good ideas to me, beth could have done so much more.

I can understand why people are saying Beth is done, we understand. But is it really harming anyone? OP is simply suggesting ideas. I mean, can't we hope?

I'd recommend posting your ideas in this thread for future TES games instead of Skyrim: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1465112-official-beyond-skyrim-tes-vi-24/

People here are just going to tell you the same thing that Skyrim is over with.

Back on topic, I agree OP. I believe they need a larger variety of NPCs, including children of different races both Mer and Beast race along with having the spouses to come with it such as the Khajiit and Bosmer. It would be strange for future TES games to take place in say Elsweyr or Valenwood and not have marriage candidates or children for the race that lives there.

We're contributing our negativity. You're welcome.

If they add anything, it better be quest fixes and gameplay improvements, not allowing people to play dress-up with their waifus.

Stuff like nonhuman children probably ain't happening for TES VI either. There isn't much call for nonhuman characters in stuff at the moment, so BGS is likely to stick with human-centric places in Tamriel (and mostly human characters) for the time being. Come to think of it, the most likely setting for TES VI is an Iliac Bay province anyway, considering the last Tower in all of Tamriel known to be active is there, standing on the Isle of Balfiera.

Ideally, there would be children and spouse candidates of all races, but realistically, they simply don't have the resources to do stuff like that, and spouse candidates were chosen based on what made sense for the stories of said characters, not because "Oh, we want to make sure to fairly represent all races and genders." That's why there are no Khajiit spouse candidates in Skyrim, because it didn't make sense with the lore they did for the race and their relations with the Nords of Skyrim. I think that this is what the developers meant when they explained why you can't marry Khajiit characters, not necessarily that the race doesn't do marriage.

Maybe they revisit. Skyrim if theres enough demand. People sent on nuts to get one more season of jericho. The current pickings of games are weak . A patch with say some sort of marketing material coukd be huge

I have a no negativity policy in my topics. It's disruptive of the subject at hand. If Bethesda itself has a problem with my opinions, they can shut me down themselves. There's no need for backseat modding.

On the second line, quest fixes are a given. If they'd svck it up and port the unofficial skyrim patch, they'd make a lot of people's gaming lives happier.

Also scoff at the "Waifus" all you want, but Skyrim is a role-playing game. And the marriage and adoption system is a part of that aspect whether anybody likes it or not, and players deserve to have their pick. Plus all the kids having the same face is hella creepy.

I'll tell ya the same thing I told the last guy who posted a link. I don't want to talk about the next Elder Scrolls game. I'm making suggestions for Skyrim because there are problems with Skyrim.

Everybody knows about the needed quest fixes so I didn't find it worth mentioning. But at the same time, people need to let Bethesda know they are not okay with a buggy finished product. Skyrim is still full of oversights, quest bugs, and whatnot, and we all paid for a game that wouldn't mess up on us or break our immersion.

I don't think this will happen, Beth is done with Skyrim
