What we want in the new ElderScrolls

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:23 pm

Hi there.
I′m a great fan of Elder Scrolls franchise, and i just want to share some suggestions to the developers of the new Skyrim. It′s some little things that i think it would improve a lot the immersive experience in this game, and i would like to know what other gamers think about it.

1) Where′s my body - in first person view.
Well, it′s not a great change, but the possible to see our own body in the game in first person view really improve the immersive of the game...

2) Like the new Fallout′s NV hardcoe mode.
Fallout NV is other great game, and i loved the new hardcoe mode that give us the needs of sleep, eat and drink water to survive… And I think it would be a great idea to have this in the new Skyrim and, if possible, with some improvement in the food, like: There is a old game called “Arx Fatalis” that, who′ve played this game knows that when we get a raw fish for exemple, we have to grill it (placing it in fire) to eat, and if you take a long time to eat, the fish will rot.. It′s a great method to improve the realism of the game.

3) Relationships… Like Fable.
In Fable we are free to invest in relationships with anyone… It′s not necessary to accomplish any mission in the game, but you can date a woman, marry and even have a kid if you want to…

4) More animals…
I played Red Dead Redemption, and in this game, you find a really living atmosphere through the game… Walking around you find a lot of different animals and people interacting with them…

5) The dead corpses…
Other thing I think we could see in skyrim is a improvement in the dynamics of the dead corpses… well, something like flies after some time in the corpse in the ground, some vultures… or, when some one die in a village for example… please, some one need to discard this body. No one likes a dead man in the center of the town. :D

6) More blood and, of course, fallout′s mutilations >=D
I′m pretty sure that the mutilations we have in Fallout will be in the new skyrim, but there is not a good dynamics of blood… if we drag a leg in the floor, could be a blood trail or something like that.

Ok, there is some suggestions can I remember now… it would be great to discuss about it.

Thanks, and sorry about my bad english =S

So, basically, you don't want to play an Elder Scrolls game? You want to play some Fable-Fallout-Left4Dead hybrid. Yeah, no thanks.

-You want to get your virtual jollies with every man, woman, and child in a game, visit Goldshire, not Winterhold.
-Fallout's mutilations, while amusing, are horrible. The Elder scrolls are about an epic quest to save Tamriel (or give the Insane God his Sanity), not a post-apocalyptic wonderland where everything must be brutal, to the Nth degree, in order to stimulate the idea of loss of hope and humanity.
-I don't need to chop legs off and drag them around town, leaving bloody trails in a heroic (or anti-heroic, if you're Dark Brotherhood) display of my maniless. This isn't Left4Dead where bodies are blowing up and being hacked apart left and right. This is an epic fantasy, not a low fantasy romp like Conan the Barbarian.

In fact, everything you've described.. It's in Age of Conan! The six, the decapitation, the gruesome deaths. Go play that. Don't suggest it be in Skyrim

Other than that, I'm in favor of points 1, 2, and 4. Though, in the future I wouldn't suggest comparing the Elder Scrolls to a terrible game like Fable II/III.

(Oh, and we already have a suggestion threat. Toodles.)
