Ok.... poll time! Choose your favorite and complain you want everything all the time for free and some cookies to go with that below. Or point out that I'm an idiot for forgetting X, or.. you know, comment on stuff

I want everything. Variety, tech, backstory.

Bioware-style conversations. Like in Dragon Age.

While it would be nice for the AI to be much more intelligent in TES:V, compared to TES:IV, and a better dialog system, I want to make note that I HATE having companions in free roaming games, like what Beth makes.

Fable | GTA | Variety

I'd prefer everyone to be lifelike than a small number to be very lifelike

I'd prefer being able to talk to everybody (and I mean everybody!), but still being able to have some NPCs with a little more detail put into them. It makes things more realistic, not everybody is going to share their life story with you.

As for the "GTA4" option, they do that already in Fallout 3, and you can still talk to them, and they notice corpses, retreat when they're losing, hide behind cover, etc.
