What about the people who play a warrior or a thief? Shouldn't they be able to heal? No, this will never happen

1 . Level scaling.
2 . Persuasion.
3 . Fast Travel.

How do you think they healed in the game series before spell scrolls?

That's right, the medical skill and resting.

Agree with you with different weapon damage from different weapons, would like something more like the magic resistances who is handled pretty well. Bunt work best against heavy armor while blades do more damage.

Scrolls was powerful in Morrowind where you could buy ten packs of summon golden saint scrolls. In Oblivion they are far less useful as it’s hard to get one with the effect you want, have used few and mostly just to test the spell. So they can be removed as they are almost useless not because they are powerful.

Think most people including me would see this as dumbed down the game to fable level and below. The inability to delete spells destroys immersion as you has to reload after making and testing new spells, spellmaking and enchanting is half the fun, without them the game would be far less interesting.

Personally I don’t see Oblivion as dumbed down compared to Morrowind except from the quest compass. Yes lots of stuff was cut but changes to magic and enchanting were made to reduce obvious exploits and balance the game. In my opinion the changes was mostly good but enchanting and spellmaking was cut more than they should be, why not two cheap constant effects like detect life and water breathing on a item? Are restore fatigue 2 / second constant effect game breaking? They got lazy and cut more than they had to.

Yes you can add shield to your armor but armor rating is cut at 85% anyway and this stops you from getting other enchantments. You got the best shield effect from sigil stones anyway not by enchanting. To get any real effect you would need grand or black soulgems, hard to get grand souls at low level and black require knowledge about them.
You can make some pretty lethal weapons with custom enchantment, but they require knowledge, testing and have very few charges.
Yes you can make a chameleon suit but that is pretty boring.

Ah I never noticed that problem in Morrowind, probably because I also had other places to sell all my stuff. But I just tested this and yes you're right. But that's a fairly simple fix, just give every individual item a seperate id and when you steal it only flags that one id. Say if a shop keepers diamond is "ingred_diamond_853" Then only if you sold that specific diamond back should it be a crime. Although I guess the problem comes in where items stack. There's no way of telling which one the 10 diamonds was hers. I guess a flag in the inventory saying that an item was stolen would be fine, but once I drop the item again it shouldn't say "steal" except in your inventory. That would take care of my main problem I guess.

I don't really want anything removed as much as I just want some things replaced.

Quest marker. Nuff said.
Also fast travel. And level scaling. And tabbed menus. And levelled items. And any bugs.
But definitely the quest marker.

^ These. Also psychic guards and overpowered scrolls. I don't see the problem with scrolls having relatively weak effects for beginning characters, warriors or stealth classes, but PLEASE no "Scroll of Epic Smiting".

the console commands for things like setting skills and toggling god mode.

Yeah! Seriously, axes have a blade on them, they should be under the blade skill!

Though, the only problem you have with that mix is the name, as the usage of the weapon types are similar. Most maces aren't too blunt, and http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/c/TS-MEDHAMINF_540.jpg aren't very blunt either.

It's not at all realistic to think the game designers can account for every single style of weapon use since pretty much every weapon is unique and have different techniques. It is, however, extremely silly to think of an axe as used in the same manner as a stick. I can forgive the extremely broad and generalized weapon skills if they make sense. Axe = stick does not make sense.

I look at it the same way magic is handled.

If you have a problem with axe+stick both being under the same skill, why don't you have a problem with Invisibility and Charm and Paralyze under the same skill??

I'm good at making myself invisible and somehow it also means I can charm the pants off NPC's?

Turning undead and conjuring scamps under the same skill?

And Alteration... breathing water, open locks, shield and feather, lolwut?

I would expect (and sincerely hope) that the leveling system from Oblivion will not appear. It was fun while it lasted, but took away the challenge of adventure.

Other things I would like to see removed are pauldrons connected to the cuirass, the pairing of boots and guantlets. The things i want to see added existed before in the series, such as visable clothing under armor.

I dont think fast travel should be removed though. Reason being, its saves tons of time, and would turn those who are accustomed to it away from the game. Its kinda hard to go back to Striders after you get the option to fast travel. However, I dont think you should be allowed to fast travel to a quest location if you have discovered it previously.

The story and sideplots are always wonderful to play, but more scripted/cinematic events would be great.

If I had a major gripe with the series (this includes Fallout games too) it has to the leveling system and the AWEFUL AWEFUL ANIMATIONS ... *shudder*

An axe is something attached to a stick, in the way that a mace or warhammer are. Warhammers and maces aren't sticks either. Change the name to something sensible, like Mauls.

There is absolutely nothing I want to be removed (from Oblivion) for The Elder Scrolls V.

hahaha the easiest question in the elder scrolls series! the glitches and bugs!

1. The horrible console UI. Why can't I just press M for map? L for quests? I for inventory?

2. Indoor to Outdoor loading.(and vice versa). Old Tech in general. Stuff like this is in new games that don't use the old Gamebyro.

3. Level Scaling

4. Crappy spell system. Needed mods to make it as good as a melee/archer character.

Oh yeah, this was another thing I wanted. More customization. I don't mind that the guantlets and boots are pair as much, but I would like pauldrons to be separate.

And another thing, something that really killed some of the challenge and overall feel of the game, was that there were "essential" characters. How would I capture Vivec in a soul gem if I couldn't kill him? Everybody should be killable, although a warning should be given if that npc was essential to the quest.
