Next Elder Scrolls game Idea's

Post » Sat Apr 13, 2013 6:14 pm

Ok so after watching this little video on youtube (I'll put the link at the bottom) it got me thinking on what could be put into the next game, ignoring story plot, whatever it will be it will be good (hopefully longer than Skyrim's main quest) this idea is for features, things that we think would be good to be put into the console and p.c. games, OK so for starters the next game will be next gen, for the very few that don't know next gen is like ultimate awesome games like the Witcher will have huge battlefields with tens of thousands of people and no loading screens, for us this is the future, now we all know the worlds will be more dynamic and very rich so we can expect water to flow rain to pour and the puddles to grow on the ground, in truth some games already do that, but the engine that The Elder Scrolls uses doesn't do that but next gen should allow the new engines to do that, now we all know The Elder Scrolls releases a full game every 4-5 years, so we got a bit of time before the next one, plenty of time for our idea's to flood the internet.

Ok we'll enough ranting, as I mentioned before I saw a video on youtube now here's what I'd like to see,

Weight: yes that's right it's rarely seen in games, and everyone in the elder scrolls seems to have the same sort of body build but there are so many meats and fruits and sweets in the game and you can stuff your face without anything, I'd like to see the character build up, if they're hefty sword/axe/hammers (you name it) two handed warriors than naturally they're going to be bulkier than someone carrying a light sword, using things like this would make the game interesting, bigger build means higher damage, but a slim but muscular form can give more speed, so not as much damage but faster and more cuts can get in, stuff like that, but if you sit around stuffing your face with meat and sweets than you're going to get fat, fat and slow and easier to hit.

Hunting: well I don't know about you guys but I personally liked crouching and carefully unsheathing my deadric bow drawing back and ebony arrow and switching the difficulty to novice and let that arrow fly at some poor deer (overkill), but I want more, I want more blood I want more to slaughter, now recently I played red dead redemption for a couple of days, (not including sleep) I spent the entire time hunting, an experience like that would be fun to see in Skyrim, new perk tree opening up for hunting and skinning, now we won't see that in Skyrim but we could see it in the next game,

Speed: Ok they removed this feature in Skyrim, but I actually enjoyed slowly getting faster over time, though it took an eternity of hours to boost it, so place it in the same form as my idea of weight then yes I think it would be more fun slowly starting off but as we level up increase our stamina and such it would be fun they could start several side quests and such over it.

Fishing and Farming: When Bethesda mentioned hearthfire I thought brilliant, while it was ok, it wasn't what I expected, but put it in a new game with new engine new rules then I think trying to live your life as a simple farmer or fisherman, we'll we've run around the land killed the bandits and saved the world, but now I want to sit back and make a farm do a bit of fishing before eventually picking up the sword and hunting some bandits and deer.

Well look at that I've spent more time then I thought it was, hope it's not to big for you guys and drop more idea's I'm curious to see where this goes,
now as I promised here's the link now warning if you're easily offended then please don't watch.
