Just to make it short and sweet, id like to see another revolution in the series, much like the last two games. Possible ideas include:
- Multiplayer support. Im tempted to say 16 but 4 is more of a realistic goal. Players can jump in and out at any time. All loot is equally divided up, excluding exclusive items, which both players will get as if they completed the quest themselves. Difficulty settings dictate the challenge.
- Less loading screens. Id like to be immersed in the setting of the next elder scrolls game without having to wait for the game to load every time I transition to a town or dungeon from outside. Its ok for fast travel, but not when im just running around exploring.
- Different settings. I wouldn't mind being able to play in a different part of Tamriel that hasn't been detailed in other Elder Scrolls games (Excluding the first 2). What would be REALLY awesome is to be able to explore all of Tamriel without a sacrifice in quality. This, however, would be really tricky to do; look how long it took to make Skyrim! If they could pull it off, however, it would be totally amazing. And yes, I know they did this in at least the first game and maybe the second, but it generally svcked.
- Respecing your character. Very few choices should be permanent in Skyrim; perhaps your name and maybe even gender could be irreversible, and even then, I doubt it would be satisfactory. Being able to reallocate your stats and skills at a price would be very nice, and save us the trouble of modding it.
- Having a mod engine out with the game. That simple. Rather than waiting a year and improvising, id like for us to just go ahead and be able to mod the game the moment we've played through it and thought it out. I don't mind the extra wait, considering that I was wondering when or if the next elder scrolls game was coming out last time.
That's all I got off the top of my head. Your thoughts?
