I know there were guilds in Oblivion : V

But I would really like to see Guild reputations, as in New Vegas. Perhaps rival guilds or factions who you must choose between and faction disguises etc.

Could be pretty good.

Absolutely. And no more of the "do a bunch of missions then become the leader of the guild but you don't have to do anything" crap.

I think this should be extended to all the factions and not just the guild.

I also think that faction reputations should have bleeding effect as well, where reputation gained with one will have a smaller effect in another. (eg. Gaining 20 reputation with a town citizenship would also increase your reputation with the town guard by 5.) This would only apply to groups that are friendly with one another and would only be applied to quests which affect the group as a whole.

And, gaining reputation with one group could hurt your reputation with another, for instance, if the Thieves Guild asks you to rob the Mages Guild and you do it, you will lose rep with the Mage Guild. Or, I think there will be two mages type guilds based on The Infernal City, if you gain reputation with one, you will lose reputation with the other. And none of that joining every single guild like in Oblivion.

*Nods* Why stop ? The reputation could be lost elsewhere. Help the guards, gain 10 rep with them, lose 5 with thieves - unless you can somewhat speechcraft them into believing your good action was a ploy to get ingratiate the guards and feed them wrong info later on.

It's all good except for the faction disguises. I hated that if I liked the way the NCR armor looked and I wanted to wear it, putting it on would get rid of all my rep with the NCR

I'd go for Daggerfall's reputation system.

They don't have to be "disguises", but wearing certain uniforms should have an affect on some people. If I'm out parading around in a Dark Brotherhood uniform, people should be really freaked out, with some even trying to kill me.

Absolutely I'd love to gain reputation with a guild without actually joining it. Fx if you join a certain faction that puts honor as a priority, other factions that also focus on this should see you in a better light.

Definitely. Especially the disguises. I never really got a chance to use them for their intended purpose, but I liked that you could disguise yourself in New Vegas.

I dont like this idea unless they balance all the quests out because in NV if you were a evil character then it would be harder on you mainly because your opponent is the NCR(If you go with Caesar which is the main evil)and you kill NCR you would lose a TON of quests this is according to my friend I would say yay because I am good and most factions are not evil anyways

I actually liked to could side with the legion. However, even if you didn't like it, this was simply a product of having to choose against the main powerholders, which was the point of the games story. In Skyrim, I don't expect any faction to have as much controle as NCR; possibly some kind of guard officals, but these would not automatically become your enemies.

I think the disguises need to be fixed. I liked that you could disguise yourself to sneak in and stuff, but honestly, your friends should be able to tell its you, especially if youre not wearing a mask/helmet. None of that instant enemies crap.

Why not? It only makes sense.

I loved becoming the leader of the guild. However, I wholeheartedly agree about not having anything to do after I became leader. They need to implement some sort of job for the leader of the guild, like actually sending people out on real missions; missions that I can actually follow the members and watch them carry out, or take part in myself.

I honestly don't think the disguises can work at all. Unless they do it very low key and dont have a freakin message popping up every freakin minute reminding you that you are still dressed as an NCR member >.<

You are still disguised as a member of the NCR :disguise:
