BGS made a great game in Skyrim, which I am thankful for and there is a lot of strong content, but I can't help but feel they could've brought it even farther/ to the next level by following through on some potential content they could've added or build on existing assets to give the game those masterpiece touches. Below is a list of some areas I feel could've been used for just that.
- Holding a Moot to vote in the next High Queen/ King after achieving a victory in the Skyrim cival war
- Do some agent investigative work to have Maven thrown in prison or overthrow her in some way. Or even join Karliah in severing Maven's ties with the TG
- Being able to see the Greymane brothers coming home after Stormcloaoks win the civil war
- Witness Ysolda actually starting up her own business without having to marry her
- In game armour and weapon assets the player can use, such as the executioner's armour, Hrothmund's Axe, make various unique armours enchantable with your own enchantments, etc
- Allowing some required key doors actually be unlocked by the Skeleton Key like Mercer demonstrates at the Nord ruins Northeast of Windhelm
- Actually being called to defend the Twilight Sephucler once in a while. To date I've not had this happen once
- TG treasure vault remains empty after completing their quest line. Not sure if you can restock it by doing more radiant TG missions after becoming Guildmaster, but from what I recall it stays empty.
There are probably more, but this is my starting list. BGS starts the game with strong content, but I think that starts to suffer toward "End Game"
What do you think. What are some other areas where BGS came up with great starting content, but failed to follow through with it especially when game dialogue hints at possible "end game" events that never materialize? To give the game that final polish and closing some loose ends?
