While I am not sure if Bethesda's dev team ever reveiws more popular mods, IF they did what, mods would you hope they would impliment into the vinilla game? This thred is to discuss user created mods. NOT mods that overhauled the game in any way (like leveling mods for example). But rather, spacificly, minor ones that simply added another lever of realism. This of course is all in fun. It's easy for all of us 'armchair designers' to make demands. But as one popular gameing site review of Oblvion once said. 'The more real something is, the more real we want to see it."
For example, here are a few user created mods for TES:Oblivion that I personally would hope to see in Skyrim OOB:
1) Assuming the actual process of leveling up is still done through sleeping, I'm hoping we will be able to see our charecters actaully crawl (or fall) into a nice warm bed after a harrowing day of adventure. In Oblivion we always got to see NPC's in the blissful relm of sleep but all our poor characters could do was stare longingly at any given bed till morning. This was later fixed by a mod and and we could finallly sleep (perchance to dream?)
2) While I'm not sure the implimentation of this next mod was simple, the end effect, while simple, got me wanting to explore Cyrodiil all over again. OOB when inside a tavern or shop, if you looked out a window you were treated with an ominous pane of, quite noticably, ahh... shall we say, non-transparent glass. With the flick of a wrist and install of a mod I could now look 'out' a window and remember I was still part of a larger world.
3) While it sounds and looks as if we will be treated to a world blessedly free of people with cookie cutter physiques in Skyrim. One Oblivion mod let my characters physical frame grow with his strength attribute. Now I could start out as a lowly twing in a forgotten prison cell and 'grow' to become a formidable.....gym bunny. All that sword wielding finally had a 'physically' visual payoff...sawweeeeet!
I'm sure there are a few more I could put down, but this is what I would start with.
