One of the items on the list, cool sneak jump on animation attack just got confirmed, so it shows Bethesda does listen to the fan base. Also, it's not like i'm ruling out anyones ideas.
1. But how do you know that wasn't something they had already planned like a year ago, or more, and just decided to tell us recently?
2. How do you know they got that idea from their fans and not something they concluded themself, some time ago or recently?
And yes, those qustion are maybe a little unreasonable and harsh.
Besides, my point earlier wasn't about wether they should listen to their fans or not, it was about how much influence the fans were to have on them (Bethesda), or any developer for that matter. Small things like a simple animation that is specific for a certain type of playing isn't the same like deciding how the travel system in Skyrim will be. For example: Fast travel or transport service is more affecting of the game in general, because fast travel allows the gamer to go anywhere at any point with no problem, a transport service means that the gamers have to do things after a certain rule and that's it... unless they want to run all over the place all the time which would be time consuming.
I for one, probably won't see that animation you mentioned because I never play as a stealth character, and if I do, it's only after playing through the game an X number of times. How the travel system will be, will affect me each and every time I play the game, because it will be something I will have to rely upon. That small animation isn't something I will rely upon.
