wereboars.

At the end of the day I'll take what they give me, and user-made mods for the rest.

i said this is what i want, the topic is for ppl to add or subtract things they want in the game so their ideas may be looked at

He did say that that was what he personally wanted in the OP.

Anyways.

I want another Elder scrolls game. And with any luck, in about 11 months I'll have one.

A balanced stone, scissors, paper approach to weapons and combat.

Levitation with flying wizard battles and new levitation stealth opportunities. Ie As a vampire you could pull an unsuspecting NPC away into the night from above without anyone hearing or seeing!

More imaginative alternatives to keeping the gameplay challenging than level scaling

More voice actors (don't blow the whole budget on Sean Bean this time!

definately no weapons or armour scaling

loads of rare artifacts hidden in places like the grail temple from Indiana Jones and the last crusade! Instead of the usual caves with goblins and a necromancer NPC at the end.

A travel system that gives the real sense of journey that nearly all modern rpg's have lost! Ie crossing deserts with nothing but the stars as a guide, crossing oceans by ship, maybe a secret Island!

A low key start like morrowind (definately no CGI)

More interesting magic effects, powerful spells to look like armageddon!

An archery contest!

An arena guild quest with a story similar to Gladiator.

A thieves guild quest with a story similar to the Oceans 11 trilogy! (oblivions thieves guild quest was the best thing about the whole game I think)

A book about the Nerevarine!!!

More interesting weapon training.

Dragons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Bethesda!

These are some good modding ideas for our modding community if they aren't in the final game.

I want DEFRON to pick the DRM.

Ooh, I got a few good ideas.

There should be a quest that sends you back into the past (where there were more dragons and less humans) and the future.

More races. Beast races should get a type of ability that lets them use their "beast powers", like a Khajiit going on all fours and using their claws as weapons.


PLEAAAASE improve the stealth on this game. Take out staffs or improve them, they really don't have a purpose.

If anyone's played Dark Messiah, the combat on that game is really cool (the demo is on the xbox live marketplace, just try it) and i'd like to see something
similar in Skyrim. More DLC than Oblivion had. Overhaul the customization (I'd love to see some more feminine hair styles)

Op thank you for listing the werewolves and being able to become one want/....

We saw 188 threads come and go for suggestions and Ideas for TES:V and now we have an announcement. Folks have great ideas and I know I saw devs lurking in some of those threads. And while this game is pretty far advanced in the making with only 11 months until release there are still many folks wanting to make suggestions and share their ideas for the game.

We want you to do so but do hope we can keep most of them to one thread. Some things will warrent their own thread like suggestions for Fast travel or about armor or weapons and everyone can discuss most things in a thread of it's own but for those who come with a long list of suggestions and ideas for the game, they belong in here.

Please assist us with referring folks to this thread for those types of posts and please refrain from long discussions about one idea, that would warrant it's own thread. But multiple suggestions or long lists belong here.

It's so nice to have one after all those 188 with a Name other than TESV (unknown title)

Lighting arrows on fire = awesomesauce.

Also, FIRST!!!!

• I hope alchemy is more balanced and not used so much as a money-making skill.

Being able to modify your characters look, hair and everything purely aesthetic, after the initial tutorial. If your anything like me you take your roles quasi-serious and you want them to look perfect. Putting in a way to do this through barbers and magic etc. wouldn't hurt or mess up game balance etc. A lot of us are anol about this and I think you guys got it perfect with Fallout 3 in this regard.

Werewolfs are fine and dandy but If you want to capture more of the Skyrim style spirit then there must be werebears.

Also, I suggest a way to fight non lethally. Bar fights anyone? I know lots of people would love to just knock some people out and not kill them.

I suggest vampire clans and rabid werewolves. Different types of each, vampires thats not a problem cause its in TES lore, but maybe different types of werewolves would be interesting. Maybe one type is faster but weaker than another.

How about a Yeti easter egg?

Morrowind style armor with greaves, boots, cuirasses, pauldrons, and gauntlets.

This, I like slowly assembling my collection of armor peice by peice so at the beggining I really was some lowly adventurer wearing a mix of whatever he could find

oh ya and I really miss Mark and Recall

Teleportation and levitation please.

Also the cinematic kill cam from NV. No I don't want VATS, but the cam would make combat, especially ranged, that more awesome. Plus we know it would work with the engine. It would be optional so you could turn it off if you didn't like it.

Yes the next Elder Scrolls has been named :celebration: !!!!

Skyrim eh---well I'd suggest some tensions between the Dunmers and Nords are really high in this game. Maybe have some Dunmer extreamest attacking some of the towns trying to get a new war to brew between Skyrim and Morrowind. Also have the people talk about how things in the Empire are starting to fall apart.

Merging all the ideas thread here, and no limit to the number of posts? Just for the fun of it.

Okay, horrible idea. How about... cheese making? With strains depending on the type of cattle (goats?) and elaboration method.

Matchlock muskets!

id like to see fishing in the game, not a skill or anything just something to do on the side
