If one thing from Morrowind is put back in...

Mark & Recall. A map that doesn't sap your will to live. Pauldrons. Moveable light sources. (I want my BUG LAMP back goddammit!) Oh hell, so many things - so hard to pick just one.

Does everything count as one thing?

Yeah, but that also means cliff racers and the Combat system. As well as Caius Cosades' crusty nipbles.

Mark & recall, and perhaps divine intervention. I miss my teleportation magic even though we have fast travel. Its not quite the same.

Id really like to see the Morrowind style dunmer voice return. To me thats more important than spears or crossbows (though they would be nice too).

Stuff that is well off the radar, stuff like how you got the dragonbone cuirass. In a Dwemer ruin, in the middle of no where, with no leads on it.

Enchantment!


Im almost positive that Enchantment was confirmed to be back as a skill this time, much like in morrowind.

And ^^^XD I love the Dragon Age Reference, that dwarf was one of many words...

Uh, I'm pretty sure the main quest is mostly about robbing the Tribunal from their godhood.

By far the best thing Skyrim can take from Morrowind.

Either the transport system (because it's win), or named enemies.

I loved that I was killing real people in Morrowind; they had names, and that led me to think about their lives, their backstories, why they were in the situation they were. Their names showing made me realise that I was killing real people, and the world felt grittier for it. It wasn't about the glory of battle or whatnot, but rather about the lives sacrified in pursuit of a goal.

In contrast, Oblivion had generic bandits, Vampire Maurauders, etc. I felt nothing for these hostile NPCs; I barely even saw them as human. I dispatched them with the same casual indifference as when putting down a hostile wolf. Without their names, they were dehumanised, becoming just another hostile animal to kill.

I realise it's unlikely that naming will return for Skyrim, but believe you me, it's a simple little factor that does a a huge amount for the believeability and maturity of the world I'll be roleplaying in.

Oo yes named enemies.

Its so hard to choose any one thing.
Id have to say levitation, because it made the world 3d, instead of being kind of stuck on a flat surface.
I loved being able to get a view from atop a huge mushroom, or finding a hidden alcove up in a cave.

An intriguing storyline


I must have missed that somehow...

substance


That too...huh...

Not gonna lie, kinda glad they dropped a lore friendly nuke on Morrowind. But if I had to choose for one thing, it would probably be how big the place felt. Even though it was a pain, it felt larger because of cliff racers and the mountain making it so you couldn't go in a straight line from place to place. And with the mountain's in Skyrim, I'll be getting that...so I'm happy, even more so because there hasn't been world of cliff racers...maybe they got nuked too. One can hope...

I can't choose just one ??

The travel system (striders/boats/mage teleport/recall/interventions).
More diverse weapons and skill systems that make sense rather than catch all easy skills (being good with a knife doesn't make you good with a mace).
Include some text dialog. It makes modding so much more realistic.
A more interesting environment. The layout of the land was more interesting and the confrontational nature of the empire and native dunmer culture as well as the houses.

OMFG. Really? Really man? Seriously? Spears? Of all the cool things in previous TES. Spears? Really? For real? Spears? That is what you want? For spears over everything else? Spears?


GET OVER IT


Levitation and Teleport should make definite comeback. Making your Character have the ability to travel faster was part of the leveling up process and you really appreciated the freedom and power this gave you.
