nope they couldnt have -> they took levitate away b4 the spears could use it

As for myself:
Realistic.

Horse.

Asses.

It was nice that you didn't have to hold the walk button all the time and your horse actually felt like it had some momentum to it.

That's not true, I would still complain. Why, because it makes absolutely no sense that you miss that often on some targets.

I'm probably the zillionth person to say this but CLIMBING

......is completely useless.

Here's a little thought on scrolls:

I know it's a more effective gameplay mechanic to have scrolls be used once and then vanish, but it doesn't really make much sense.
However I had a few thoughts how scrolls could possible be "improved" in a way.

First off, scrolls where far too common in TES and they had for to weak effects. So why not simply make scrolls somewhat rarer, not as in "they are only for the few chosen" but simply they are too complicated to make just to create them for every little thing.
Now the rarer scrolls could do one thing, replace high power spells. In game you really only had very few high power spells, and honestly I'd rather make it that you learn the BASE spell and then "edit" it the way you need it, after all you know it why not alter it? The thing would be scrolls would be created with high focus on them, their spells where finely crafted and improved over time ultimately making them something really powerful. So now magic scrolls like this would pretty much be "super weapon class spells", like being able to not just summon one skeleton but a whole skeleton "army" so to say.
Another thing is, scrolls don't disintegrate after use, they remain. However they also don't cause a magic effect for nothing, they actually sap energy from you, both magical energy but they can also drain your body. So using a powerful scroll as a newbie it could easily happen that you pass out cold from using it. The thing is reading a scroll pretty much forcefully causes a magical effect from happening, I see them as having a memetic effect, reading them triggers you subconsciously to cast. Doing it this way scrolls don't have to be one shots but there ARE limitations what you can do with them.

So like this pretty much scrolls would "replace" the super powerful magic effects, but also they could have more "unique" effects that the normal "lego magic" in TES so far can't really perform. In the same move magic itself would become much more flexible as you could alter them, and even scrolls, then learning to write them you could make your own, copy more powerful ones and maybe even alter them to your own preference.

I thought when you used a scroll, the magic was enchanted within the paper and when you read the incantation aloud, it cast the spell. After that, there was no more magic within the scroll. I figured that's what explained the reason why any ole schmuck could buy a scroll and cast the spell, even if he/she had zero magic points. I guess you'd have to know daedric, though. I know this is a lore question but are spell incantations generally in Daedric since the scrolls are written in daedric?

Daedric is a way of writing, not a way of speaking: any language can be written in Daedric. It is just the preferred font of mages.

There's a daedric language skill in Daggerfall. It is a spoken language.

Yea, I never encountered a situation where I was stopped by a chest high wall I couldn't jump over, or missing a jump just by a few cm and slipping down a edge... no wait, that happened ALL THE TIME!
Climbing is GOLD for games, GTA: San Andreas had some much more to discover thanks to just grabbing on to ledges and pulling yourself up. Even with levitation climbing would still be worth a ton, you don't have to use a "boost acrobatics" or "levitation" spell for every little obstacle in your way if you could just pull yourself over it.

I agree, it's funny because it's such a simple feature, but it adds so much.

It's:

• Race Defining
  
  - Khajiits should be awesome at it, this ties well into the whole making races having real race specific potential (ex. orc strength limit 150 instead of 100)
  
  
• Character Defining
  
  - Rogue/thief/acrobat/assassin/adventurer, seriously, anything which requires infiltration or getting somewhere through alternative means other than magic.
  
  
• Freedom/Sandbox Complementing
  
  - Of course, freedom of movement. More tactical options. Exploration.

And it directly leads to better world design because they expect vertical exploration, and they build to accommodate. They can also use it to restrict characters who don't have climbing or magical skill. With climbing, you could go up the back of cloud ruler temple.
