What would you like to see?

Me and many mates of mine have been sort of building off each others hypes for Bethesda's new release. We have gotten together many times (not intentionally) to discuss some features there might be, or we would like to see in Skyrim.

Here are a few features we would like to see

• Long hairs for male, and female characters
  
• Dye-able clothing
  
• Customizable Armor
  
• Some sort of height decision in the character creation
  
• Scarfs (Long and flowing, and short.)
  
• Actual age difference
  
• Some others that I have failed to include.
  
• Customizable Tattoo's and Tattoo Locations.
  
• Npc's have to actually "look" for you if you attack them from a distance, they don't automatically know exactly where you are like they have a spy plane.

I am not entirely sure if any of these have been added yet, (Pretty sure long hairs for male and female characters have been added.. or at lease female.. ) so I am sorry if I am repeating some features that have been already established in game.

With long hairs.... First off I am male, but for my characters in most games I usually make a rogue type character who is short with medium long hair which is spiky towards the back.
(This is a picture of what he would look like.. sort of. [wasn't sure how to post the picture itself, so i posted the link.])

Hopefully that gives you some sort of idea of what I'd like to see for some hairstyles.

Dye-able clothing.. I understand that might be difficult, due to the fact that there are probably many..many..... oh so many... clothes in the game already, but, it helps with immersion, and customization that many people love to see in RPG's. And by dye-able clothing, I mean different parts of the cloth could be dyed differently, like the emblem in a shirt could be white, while the shirt itself could be black, and the lining of the shirt can be white as well. (Sorry if this is already a feature .. if so I have failed to get enough information from the many different informational sources I go to.)

Customizable armor would be.. again a stretch. especially with armor. But with this I was thinking of being able to change for ex. On a suit of armor with emblems and ornaments everywhere, I would change a few ornaments and pieces to make them more suited for my character, maybe losing some weight in the armor, or adding skull ornament to my shoulder piece instead of the dragon ornament.

(This next one is covering Height and Age)
I strongly... STRONGLY recommend the height differentiation and age differences actually playing a factor in the game. I mean, Lets say I don't want to be a 30 something year old who is at there execution, lets say i want to play a scrawny 18 year old (who probably murdered tons of people.. cause I do that in game.) being sent to his execution. And while in game, if I am 18 or so, I don't want to have a crazy deep voice that scares children, I want to have a light maturing voice of a young man. (You know, the grunts you make... not really dialogue... but there voice all the same.) Just thought of something, Height should also play a factor in sneaking, and other things, like weapon splash range. (a short person wielding a sword would get less range, but would attack faster then a big person wielding a sword.) and etc. (Skills would eventually overpower that, but its a good idea.) And finally with height.. I would like to see it so not every wood elf female is the same height as her sister, or the neighbor down the street. which is where height difference would add much immersion.

Scarfs... flowing, changeable colors and designs.. (We are in fact in Skyrim, so I would guess scarfs would be one of the first cloths you added, i think it would be pretty sad to not have scarfs o,e,,, in the winter climates.... yeah...) nuf said.

I think I heard tattoo's already, but, I would like to see maybe, a tattoo that is made by me ? using whatever mouse, controller, or game pad you have. I understand that might be hard to make a tattoo, but with enough effort, I bet people would make crazy you tube videos of some custom made tattoo's they have all over there character. (Not just bought tattoo's from the store that is added to a certain spot on your character and not changeable whatsoever leaving you somewhat sad (depending on the location and visibility, and what it actually looks like.)

And finally non playable characters have to look for where you are when you attack them from a distance, or while sneaking. (unless your right behind them, with a knife, and fail to kill them... in that case..... lol @ u.) And if you run away far enough out of there line of sight, they might look for you, but eventually after enough time passes, they will give up the search. (Until you pop up in one of the town [you were currently in] guards faces and they arrest you or ask you to pay a fine, or whatever the system will be in skyrim.

WELP..... that was a bit to much remembering what my friends said for my taste.. but oh well, I mainly got most of the ones I talked about, and I got a bit of the things my friends talked about.


So, thank you for your time.. if you read this far

I also want to choose my body type (skinny or fat or beefy...) and to choose my underwear / underwear color (i hate everybody with the same underwear ??)

-Nudity: add realism to the game can be toggled off and on

-Dismemeberment: Think its too late to add this if they didnt do so already, but same as nudity to add realism to the game can be toggled off or on, the games rated M

-More Armor Types atleast 2.5x, HATED the few armor types in oblivion, the more armor types the more unique i can make my character

-Food & Drink bar: Same as new vegas. You need food and water to stay alive. JUST to add realism to the game, as much as people want hardcoe mode its really unnecessary, Fallout is a the end of the world, skyrim isnt

-Werewolves & Vampires: If they didnt already add these creatures they wont most likely. Werewolves are awesome!

-More critters

-Slender Man: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://s4.hubimg.com/u/3175415_f520.jpg&imgrefurl=http://hubpages.com/hub/slenderman&usg=__rmQLm1NrrpIg-d_MmgKu3HOl0_c=&h=346&w=520&sz=24&hl=en&start=0&sig2=u7otfNEzZmlM0lw8i8d_4g&zoom=1&tbnid=u--IjA-V2YPkdM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=184&ei=U8P6TZy9OLDSiALT1_GZBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dslender%2Bman%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1345%26bih%3D583%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=499&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:0&tx=100&ty=83 that stalkers you, like the Gman in Hal-life 2, http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://s4.hubimg.com/u/3175415_f520.jpg&imgrefurl=http://hubpages.com/hub/slenderman&usg=__rmQLm1NrrpIg-d_MmgKu3HOl0_c=&h=346&w=520&sz=24&hl=en&start=0&sig2=u7otfNEzZmlM0lw8i8d_4g&zoom=1&tbnid=u--IjA-V2YPkdM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=184&ei=U8P6TZy9OLDSiALT1_GZBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dslender%2Bman%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1345%26bih%3D583%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=499&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:0&tx=100&ty=83 will appear severl times and stalk you, he wont harm you and you cannot kill hill. If you try to walk up to him he will disappear, he curses you and stalks you throughout a the game intil you find a cure to the curse hes brough upon you

-Alcohol: gets you drunk when you drink to much, makes your screen blur and your character walk funny, something like in GTA

but i dont think our request will be met by Bethesda =( in all honeslty

-Placeable physical traps.

-Assassins/Guards tracking the player (for real tracking, if I leave no evidence they don't find me. If I lead them somewhere else or frame someone else they get the wrong guy)

-Stealth entrances to major cities like sewer systems, etc.

-More clever and diverse NPC taunting during battles.

-Criminals fight dirty, ask for forgiveness, then turn on you later in the game etc.

-Speechcraft perks that can help in combat

-And, of course, remove them evil health potions!

Edit: @BadVoodoo: Heh, yeah, I doubt they are looking for additional content right now, kinda late for that. But we can always pretend

Other Ideas

-Weapon Customization

-Hair changing at shops (I doubt people have the same hair, not growing an inch or losing any of it from the time their born till death..)

-Pets... that DON'T fail.

-Destructible objects, like chairs.. (I doubt a wood chair can withstand a battle hammer smash to one of its legs.)

-Differently sized dragons. The dragons are living creatures, so it would make sense that some of them would be young, and smaller. The bigger the dragon, the stronger it is.

completely agree

-hardcoe mode (eating, drinking, sleeping, and surviving climate conditions)

-marrying an NPC and having children (even heroes have families)

-if romancing is part of the game, please let us romance the hot blonde barmaid in the screenshot

-friendship with NPCs (going to the tavern for a mug of ale with a buddy)

-werewolves, and the ability to become one (Skyrim is the perfect province for these creatures)

-jobs done in first person (not by menu, like alchemy in Oblivion, NOR by mini-game like Fable 2)

-parrying with one weapon (so I can be a master swordsman)

I can picture my barbarian now... Lopping the head off a dragon in his brand new hot pink scarf!

Blood red is more my color :tongue:

All I want to see... is some damn Argonians...

-Bigger, more living cities

-Bigger world

-Choice and consequence. For example guilds arent ignorant of everything youve done option to take sides in faction wars and such and (morally) varied ways to complete quests

-More and more varied dialogue options

-Realistic nudity

-Realistic dismemberment

-More interaction with characters. For example friendships, romances or just longer conversations

-hardcoe mode

-No compass or at least toggleable compass

-More armor slots

-More factions

-Spears, crossbows etc

-Attributes and birthsigns back but that wont happen anymore

one empty nuka-cola bottle

Realistic clothing for the environment of Skyrim. It's the harsh, frozen north of Tamriel so please make its citizens dress accordingly. Dovakhin's sleeveless leather outfit is quite frankly ridiculous, given the fact that he's trekking through mountains and tundra.

So Bethesda, please make the fine people of Skyrim dress sensibly for the weather with a pleasant variety of fur hats, coats, cloaks, and surcoats.

EDIT: Huh, I just realized how appropriate my avatar is for this post.

I hope I can be so fat that I have a heart attack by running too much.

I'm a man of simple tastes...

Just give me blood, gore, blood, dismemberments and maybe a little blood.

I find being sleeveless in the cold totally viking-esque, and therefore very fitting for skyrim, The nords have a natural resistance to cold, so I find it pretty reasonable for anyone living in skyrim to be use the cold.

-The separation of the Oblivion-style cuirass into cuirass, L Pauldron, R Pauldron

-The separation of gauntlets into L and R gauntlet

-shirts and pants under armor

-Robes over armor

- levitate spells, scrolls, and enchantments

- Dismemberment from weapons of a sufficient material and weapon skill and spells of a sufficient magnitude and destruction mastery level

-The Morrowind Dunmer Male voice actor reprising his role

If even a few of these were met, I would be thrilled

That's a Hollywood stereotype. You can't exactly [censored] and pillage if you and your band are dead from frostbite. That and not everyone in Skyrim is meant to be a blatant Viking expy, I for one doubt the Argonians and Khajit are too fond of the weather.

Horse armor.

Thought of more

-A type of knuckle/claw type weapon (For those of you who have seen bleach, i kind of want to fight like yuroichi..)

-If weilding two handed daggers, being able to throw one, or both.

-More limited inventory space. (I hate having 100 potions on me.. so much... it makes it WAY to easy, also, I don't like having 20 different types of shields in my inventory ... seems unrealistic

-Yes.... nudity option... (This probably won't happen if you think about it.)

-For the above. BBB.

-Tighter clothed armor, or more revealing.. (I don't like walking around with a block on my body .. i need air flow)

-Ability to kill children. (sort of mean, but if i kill some kids mom... I NEED to kill the kid...)

-Ability to have children

-Fishing

-Mining (I never heard of mining, i only heard in reviews of smithing ... that would svck if we couldn't mine for stuff. and had to buy it...)

-Hunting areas for ONLY hunting deer, foxes, bears and etc for skins, food, claws etc.

-Getting drunk and tripping over yourself.

-Realistic movements to pain. (ex. You get stabbed in the arm, you hold your arm occasionally to try and keep it in place while continuing your dungeon. [which causes you to be unable to use one of your arms until you either get an extended rest, or go to some sort of healer person.. or heal your injuries with stiches.. or something realistic of that nature.)

Most of these are either already in the game or will never happen unless Bethesda wants Skyrim slapped with an AO rating.

Seriously though, nudity and animesque clothing/weapons? This is Elder Scrolls not a JRPG.

Just Lol'd at myself for putting nudity xD.. I wouldn't expect them to put that in anyway.. But... kids.............. they are snitches. ... they have to die. IG obviously.. not irl.

:x Sorry if i made anyone mad or upset with any of my posts...

~puts up arms attempting to block the trolling~

Believe me, I would have loved to turn every child in Little Lamplight to tiny giblets. Unfortunately, Bethesda is still a business that needs to make a profit and the controversy that would result from that would undoubtedly result in lawsuits.
