Second idea, brainstorm!: Random NPCs!
Imagine a world populated with completely random NPCs that changed every time you started a new game. Obviously, the essential NPCs would have to remain the same, but the rest could be generated using a algorithm that would pick from a pool of names, races, voice types, personality and clothes. There would obviously need to be certain fixed parameters within the random algorithm so that you wouldn't end up with a High elf named Burg gro-Kash.
This could give TES a whole new look and feel and if you added traveling NPCs (NPCs that come and go between towns and the game world itself) in addition the the Radiant AI, then Wow! The world would seem real.
That's My Nickel and Two Cents.

Want random NPCs, I reccommend DF. I personally like hand-placed stuff, shows the developers aren't sloppy.
