Some things that would be awesome are

1. Mounted Combat

2. Dynamic weather

3. More npc:s in the citys, towns and on the road, and not just bandits and guards.

4. Co-op, I can′t be the only one that would love to play the game with a friend and make coordinated attacks on camps, dragons and other beasts. :foodndrink:

2. Weather effects on the player. Eg. looking up when it's raining will cause the screen to blur. Perhaps having wet armour will cause it to degrade (if this is a feature) faster, meaning you have to repair sooner. Snowstorms will slow actions/movement slightly and maybe slowly sap health/cause stamina to regen slower unless the player is wearing cold weather clothing.



That would be awesome.
And if it is raining, regular clothing would become wet and maybe be dripping of water.

Things that smash, things that spill, you can hurt/kill people by throwing things at them, confuse them by throwing sheets/clothes etc over them, throw torches at people and have a chance of setting them alight. Visible damage too enemies, cuts bleeding etc.

This post is for the little things which you would like implemented into Skyrim
Here is my top 3
1. Hair growth, if I've been exploring caves months on end I think I would have a long beard and hair, along with that I would like to have a barber to sot out that bad hair day.
2.More game which we can hunt because all we had in Oblivion was deer :sadvaultboy:
3. Improve horses (Red Dead Redemption really stepped up the bar for that)
So what is your top 3?


1) Visible consequential deterioration and dulling of bladed weapons, armour and shields
2) Some hardocre features should be standard, like regular need for rest and food. Decreased performance along time.
3) NPCs should be able to steal and pickpocket. You, on the other hand, should be able to lock your house.
4) Transparent loading screens. While loading, screen should not switch to an etching, but remain the same but for a loding progress bar.
5) Destructable-throwable-everything object approach.
6) Some mountanous locations should only be reachable via Mountaineering/Alpinism.
7) More varied combat startegies from creatures and NPCs.They should group attack you in different formations, stubornly interposing between your and whatever the're trying to defend, such as an egged nest or a precious artifact and defend it to death. Others should flee when hero's superiority is obvious or when damage is life threatning. Others might surrender to you. All in all, a much more varied repertoire of combat startegies is needed.
8) Ability to take prisioneers and subdue/tie up/handcuff enemies without actually killing them.
9) Checking your stats or inventory should not pause action or, at least, should only slow it down.

4: Horses to not svck.

1 :Something to do while inside /around your own owned house.
2:Seasonal weather and festivals. I want to realize its coming close to 'winter'. I want to be afraid to get things done before the bitter Nordic winter comes.
3:Relating to the above. I want weather to affect movement and actions. You should get fatigued by moving and fighting in deep slow and slowly lose health in blizzards etc.

Really i want things that would make the game more immersive and make me feel like im actually there :D.

Here are some little things I'd love to see:
1.) Containers show that you've opened or investigated them. This was done with mods in the past.
2.) Alchemy ingredients show they have been harvested. Again this was done with mods in the past.
3.) I want the option to turn off blood without mods. I know some people like it. I don't.

Here are some big things I'd love to see:
1.) Dragons are not one dimensional big bads, but are instead a well developed society. Some may even be neutral or sympathetic to your cause, others may be still villains but have sympathetic back stories, while of course some will be clear villains. I'd love to be able to befriend sympathetic dragons, and I hope it doesn't amount to being an extermination quest.

2.) I hope it's less clear cut than the goodly Imperials trying to keep order and the disruptive rebels bent on seizing power. While I plan to support the Empire unless they have turned into something disgusting, I hope the story at least makes me feel some sympathy for the rebels.

3.) I'd love for there to be some rival factions, for example Synod vs. College of Whispers, an organization vs. the Dark Brotherhood, something like the Blackwood Company vs. the Fighters Guild, etc. I do not want to see something like Mages vs. Fighters or Thieves vs. Fighters, etc though. Of course the factions may be totally different than that this time.

1. Umbra
2. Werewolves

(Jk, but I do want those two...)

1. I'd really like to see different reactions from people in the same faction as me, things like that. Sure in Oblivion they'd say something along the lines of "hello [insert my rank in particular guild here]" I dunno, I just want it to feel like me and my guildmates are actually comrades.
2. I'd like to see NPCs get drunk. I really would, it'd be fun.
That's all the "little" things I can think of...


Yeah but if they're drunk not like robotically stumbling around like they did in New Vegas

In the order of what i thought of, just random little things.
1. Tattoos and body piercings to customize your character beyond the face and the body size. (at least i heard you'll be able to select your body type if you'll be fat or thin)
2. Non-Levelled loot and creatures, i don't mind having a levelled creatures list like what spawns randomly in the wilderness, but as an example. if i go into something like a daedric ruin i want to get butchered if i'm not ready for it. but be rewarded for the hard effort of making it all the way through it.
3. Shield bashing. what if i decide it'd be cool to dual wield shields?
