To organize the forum and to cease needless redundant thread posts, here is a list of all the main threads--primarily consisting of useful polls to the community and developers at large. While it has been pointed out that the game is 2/3 of the way through development, it cannot hurt for the developers to hear exactly what their community wants--if not for this game--for the next, or an expansion. I have surely missed some good threads, and I will add further threads when posted, here.
Poll on levitation and Spells:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?showtopic=1148716&st=
- Strong favor of bringing back levitation
- Among other spells, people want Mark/Recall and Almisivi/Divine Intervention back.
on DRM:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?showtopic=1148988&st=
- Poll Winner: Disc check + product key (Oblivion)
- Rival: Steam Authentication
On Gameplay & Content:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149284-gameplay-and-content/
- People want gameplay and content similar to Morrowind GOTY/Mix of Everything
On Fast Traveling:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?showtopic=1148785&st=
- Majority Poll Winner: "No, only a Morrowind style travel system (i.e. Mages Guild teleportation etc.)"
- Rival: "Yes, as well as a more immersive Morrowind style travel option (i.e. mages guild telportation etc)"
On Artifacts and Legendary Items:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149078-artifacts-and-legendary-items/page__p__16802567__fromsearch__1#entry16802567
- The majority want more unique artifacts and legendary items--some from previous games--and entirely new content (written well into lore, of course). Some should be found via main and side quests; while others should be merely a treasure-find. What people do not want (related to level scaling), are randomly generated weapons and items with trivial enchantments (cough, Oblivion).
Character apparel customization:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1148592-character-apparel-customization-in-skyrim/
- Poll Winner: "Very High, as in Daggerfall"
- Rival: "High (as in Morrowind)".
- There is a large outcry to bring back underclothing and Robes covering armor. This is an immense downfall to Oblivion for me, personally, being a Battlemage or Spellsword
- We want Greaves, Gauntless, Cuirasses, Pauldron, and Boots to say the least.
On Level Scaling:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1148814-remove-extensive-level-scaling-in-skyrim-part-2/page__st__80__p__16803075__hl__level+scaling__fromsearch__1#entry16803075
- Landslide - Bring it back to Morrowind: it's there, but not nearly to the extent or ratio of Oblivion. Let it be the player's choice to risk the consequences of finding great armor or fighting near impossible or extremely easy foes.
On Real[/functional] Companions:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?showtopic=1148282&st=
- Poll Winner: Yes, if it doesn't detract from the rest of the game
- Rival: Yes, absolutely
On Experience System:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1148375-experience-system/page__mode__show
- Poll Winner: Oblivion Style (Train skills by using them)
