I rented Dishonored (DS) earlier today, and though I am not enjoying it, I will say that TES series could take some notes from the game.

I know DH was published by Beth, but I'm not entirely sure they developed it, however I do feel a lot of features and controls reminiscent to TES and Fallout.

First of all, the combat. In TES it was just two guys hackin wildly until one fell over and died, with the occasional spam or holding down a trigger for a spell. In DH the fighting was much more cinematic with more realistic reactions and controls. Visually, DH has a much better combat system.

Second, jumping. In TES it was the press of a button to leap and hop from surface to surface. In DH it was a lot better designed and more appealing, even though its a simple command to climb.

My iPod is going dead, so I got to stop for now

Odd, I was thinking the same thing while watching YouTube. Not on the same topics, but Dishonored has some awesome features that could work really well in TES.
