Stop right there, criminal scum!

I hope they re-work guard reactions depending on the crime. Sometimes it was a little ridiculous.

I hope they lose some of their "psychic" abilities too.

Edit: That was weird.

With the guards indefinite number of faults we should be entitled to have some major work done on them. For that matter, they need to move the items a shopkeeper has so they are not directly in front of him/her to avoid accidental theft.

For some reason I kind of hope they keep the ridiculous guard reactions. XD

Hopefully they'll remove the fines and compensation for serious crimes.
So a man kills your brother in front of you. You run to the nearest guard in panic. The guard arrives on the scene.

You: It's him! He killed my brother, the bastard!
Murderer: Here, city guard. 1000 septims. Can I go now?
Guard: All right. Let's go to the castle and get this business sorted out.
You: :o

Daggerfall's Justice system would be perfect. You commit a crime and you are caught. You're then brought in court and you plead guilty or not guilty. If you plead not guilty, you have to either lie or debate why you are not the culprit. Factors influencing the result would be your speech skill and if you are in the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood. Because if your criminal guild likes you, they'll help you get out of there. :)

Change what makes them react all together, but if they could some how keep "criminal scum" in their dialogue i would be a happy guard. CRIMINAL SCUM! its just so fun to say.

At the very least I hope they make an Easter egg out of the Oblivion guards. Maybe some Cyrodiilic immigrant whose old habits are dying hard.

Stop you violated the law! Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence, all your stolen goods are now forfeit!

No more psychics, and more varied dialogue. I want the first, I hope for the latter. "Hope" and "dialogue improvement" don't usually mix when Beth is involved.

The word 'scum' needs to return for nostalgias sake. :P

TES3 - "We're watching you... scum!"

TES4 - "Stop right there, criminal scum!"

TES5 - *insert witty scum comment here that will be remembered forever*

They gotta bring back the quote. And they must have Max von Sydow say it.

I'm hoping that guards in between cities don't communicate so immediately. Perhaps it could take AT LEAST a few days to relay the information about you from town to town. Maybe even curriers carrying the news between towns could be killed or bribed preventing other towns from hearing of your crimes.

That's actually a really good idea. Have like the one guard that's really over the top for comic relief. Like Sheriff J.W. Pepper from Live and Let Die.

Have him be a guard from Imperial City but he lost his job and now he's an alcoholic and just hangs around the bar calling everyone criminal scum.

Woo Hoo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihrlkPSrdm8&feature=related

While it is hilarious, I do hope they simply fix the psychic guards who can hear you knocking over a spoon and picking it up inside a shop in which one must "PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD"

I don't think I've ever encountered this, it's usually pretty consistently relevant to my particular crime. Nonetheless, I actually wish that some guard somewhere in Skyrim will say "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" just as a easter egg.
