This thread is for ideas and suggestions for future Elder Scrolls games, and to keep all the discussion in one series of threads.

We also have an official thread specifically for http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1483222-official-tes-vi-location-and-setting-speculation/ suggestions for future games.

Now that Skyrim has been released the number of suggestions and ideas for the next ES game are starting to show up. We have a long way to go before we get another ES game and all topics like this will be closed and either transferred or referred to this one.
Please keep any discussion of Skyrim in the correct forums.

most important thing imo is more branching quests with different ways to solve them like Fallout 3. Not just "go here, hack slash kill". The option to be the bad guy would be great. Like being able to side with the necromancers in oblivion would have been good.

second most important thing, make guilds and other factions have opinions about each other, so the quests could involve taking out the rival faction, and faction members have opinions about each other, so maybe their could be a civil war in a faction.

third most important thing, gotta re do the loot. Gold becomes worthless at later points in the game and you're never surprised with any items you find in game. enchanted weapons that are actually GOOD, and a combination of grips, blade types, etc. and you'd be really psyched to find a weapon with all the right parts and enchantments to fit your playstyle. You could craft or buy it yourself, but for LOTS of gold, which would give you something to spend it on. And no more being able to craft daedric.
