Tiny details that can make us feel more immersed in the game

[Korutsuru]

You should also be able to cut off peoples heads so that you can display them in your house.

maybe that could be posible.

in a recent interview with Matt Grandstaff, Senior Community Manager at Bethesda he answer this:

QUESTION
After Morrowind and Oblivion were released, have you come across community content that has either blown you away or surprised you as a unique addition to the game?

ANSWER
Yeah, there are plenty of great mods out there that impress folks at our office. When I do "What we’re playing" on Bethesda Blog, it's always interesting to see that some of our devs, like animator Gary Noonan, are always checking out the latest community mods.

Off the top of my head, Skycaptain's Deadly Reflex mod is one that our team has taken a closer look at, as we've been implementing a more visceral combat system in TES V.

This is the mod he is talking about: http://www.fileplanet.com/214249/210000 ... Combat-Mod

You should also be able to take parts of people bodies and attach them to your armour.

[ToTheMadhouse]

Id like a clothing system with more option than Morrowinds, Capes, paints and tatoos, pet/summon dragon and ride it, more animations for your character e.g. drinking hell lift the cup and drink, more 6 voices, My OBLIVION character as Sheogorath, Yagrum Bagarn, Divath Fyr, More than horses to ride e.g. Boars, bulls mammoths etc., werwolveism and vampirism, more factions, a massive war( Not battle of Bruma Massive, it was teenie), Wider variety of unique items, House decorating system, The option to recruit any NPC as a follower( all be it they with to be), Barbas, Dagoth ur`s spirit and Much more quests.

no you should not -_-

thats... too much

[Offtopic]

When you hit people with a sword the blood should splash all over your screen so you barly cant see.

[the Savage Hippie]

I'd like to see if you were carrying an inkwell, a quill and note paper that you could write your own notes... Also, this I think will never happen if the "sands" in the hourglasses actually ran.

[NordFtw]

I want the NPC dialogue to be gooder. Less incorrect or strange grammer. Gooder dialogue will make the game best.

For someone who's complaining about grammar, let me tell you the word you are looking for is "better" not "gooder"

[Mucro]

Hahahaha, oh dear
Still; I would like hardcore mode, that's my input for this.

I would have been worried if you didn't notice my little joke


Though with some of the peop you find on forums, can't say I'm suprised you thought I was being serious <.<

Aaanyway, I wouldnt mind in-game time going slightly slower, since in Oblivion you could literally sit and WATCH the moon rise/set.

No, just no. Skyrim is not a fallout game.

No, once again it's too gory for an ES game.

I'd like it if people recognized you for things you've done. What I mean is if my character, a khajiit with a noticeable scar above his right eye brandishing two high quality elven daggers and wearing an ominous black hooded shroud, where to kill someone on the street or be convicted of a high prioity theft, id like the people to know this and act accordingly.

Other than that I'd like :-
- Customizable weapons ( Like notches on my hammer for every noble I've killed )
- A clothes system like ultima online ( Overlapping SEPERATE pieces of clothing )
- More side quests for different classes ( Bounty board for bounty hunters, or a quest like oblivions nirnroot but with a wider range of ingredients to search for... You get my point.
- The ability to become a necromancer/vampire/warewolf/hunter/assasin
- More "house" choices, instead of just houses how about a cave or a partly sunken ship or under a frozen lake etc.
- Using flint to sharpen your sword to gain ( +1? ) damage.
- Hitboxes to be implemented, I.e hitting someone in the eye with an arrow and killing them apposed to them still running for you with murderous intent.

I like these ideas if i've just been stabbed in the face I won't walk away unmarred, but once again it has to be optional.

[the Savage Hippie]

Though with some of the peop you find on forums, can't say I'm suprised you thought I was being serious <.<

Well, yeah. I know this is a little off-topic; but I have to say I agree with you and I mean no-one no disrespect let me make that clear, but hey... it's a worldwide forum with people in a lot of different ages. Everybody is trying to do their best so let's all be adults about it. (I'm not implying that you aren't)


On-topic:
I would also like to see the food that's being eaten disappear after it has been consumed by an NPC, also I would like to see everyday stuff like someone taking care of the cattle, someone preparing a dinner, chopping up a vernison for a good meal etc... Oh, and as this might imply I hope they'll include cows... and chickens... and roosters... and pigs... I always found it to be a little lame that in Oblivion you could find sheep and the sheep could be looted for mutton after you had slain one, but if you went to your local alchemist or general store "beef" and "ham" was also available meat...

it's too gory for an ES game.

It's not because I want to sound like John Webster, but being a fan of horror authors like Edgar Allan Poe as well as splatter and grindhouse films. I would personally like the game to be gory, maybe you could do like in Left 4 Dead 2 where you were able to go to options and change "gore detail" from low to extreme. I just hope it's better than in Oblivion where you could try to behead someone with your battle axe and then apologize to him or her... it sorta annoyed me (a lot)

[Snuke]

Aaanyway, I wouldnt mind in-game time going slightly slower, since in Oblivion you could literally sit and WATCH the moon rise/set.

Mods can help with this for Oblivion. Francesco's gives you the option to choose how slow you want time to pass. This was huge for me because I HATED how quickly time passed. With a "wait" option, there was no need to have time pass so quickly.

Too gory? There are dead bodies hanging from ceilings in this game. I'm not sure adding anything mentioned above would push the game into uncharted territory.

[Vendetta]

Torches that dont look like the Olympic torch..

[AeraDunmerMoon]

I'd like to be able to drop lit torches. I kept trying in Oblivion, to make a fire in my Bruma house or to make a memorial for Prior Maborel, and it wouldn't let me. it's something small, but it really irritated me. I'd also like for decorations not to go flying wil-nilly whenever I so much as brush them. Like books. Or food at a table I've been sitting at.
If I said anything that's already been said, I'm sorry.

[Eltee]

Aaanyway, I wouldnt mind in-game time going slightly slower, since in Oblivion you could literally sit and WATCH the moon rise/set.

Isn't there a console command for that?
~set timescale to 1

[Snuke]

I'd also like for decorations not to go flying wil-nilly whenever I so much as brush them. Like books. Or food at a table I've been sitting at.

Yeah, I agree. I think it's kinda funny that when I sit down at the kitchen table, the plates and cups go flying like they were launched from a potato gun. They need to adjust this aspect somehow.

Also, while it wouldn't add to the realism, I'd live to be able to fast travel from place to place WITHIN a city. It's tedious to have to continue to walk from my house to the other end of town every time I want to drop something off at home and then go sell something.

[AeraDunmerMoon]

Hmm, I dunno, Snuke, I think I'd get pretty irritated at fast travel within such a short distance. Kind of seems a little lazy to me. Not only that, but loading screens are boring. At least when walking, I can do little things to entertain myself. Like stalk guards, or wonder at that hairstyle that the woman over there is wearing.

[Rellik Tharn]

It would be cool if hair grew throughout the game. Not millimeter by millimeter or anything, but gradual length-gain would kinda give me something to look at to realize how long my characters been merkin' dragons and all that.

[AeraDunmerMoon]

Oh, that would be nice. Or hair-dying within the game, or a change in style. Maybe my Aera decides she doesn't like her hair long and chops it off. Oh, and why were some of the hairstyles available to Bretons/Altmer/Imperial/etc women not available to Dunmer? There was a braided looking one that I liked, but couldn't have, cuz apparently that was out of fashion for dark elves. I kind of felt that was a tad...rascist? I mean, come on, a hairstyle?

[Snuke]

Hmm, I dunno, Snuke, I think I'd get pretty irritated at fast travel within such a short distance. Kind of seems a little lazy to me. Not only that, but loading screens are boring. At least when walking, I can do little things to entertain myself. Like stalk guards, or wonder at that hairstyle that the woman over there is wearing.

Well, as it would be an option, you wouldn't have to do it. There are times I prefer to walk since I occasionally do things along the way. But every time I enter, say a city like Bravil, I have to walk to the other far end to get to my house in order to dump my loot. And then I have to go all the way back to the other end to sell it at the general store. Fast travel in the city would eliminate that tedious time if I should choose to use it.


I thought of another thing - the amount of stuff you can carry is ridiculous. I don't care how high your endurance is, carrying a whole other set of armor plus an extra axe or sword around is just unrealistic. Yes, it would stink not to be able to carry stuff you've looted back to town, but maybe they can add a knapsack or bag option that is visible on your character. And you should not be able to run while carrying it when it has a bunch of stuff in it.

In Daggerfall, you could buy a cart to attach to your hourse and access it whenever you went to the entrance of a dungeon. That way you could do some looting in a dungeon, cave, etc, go back to the entrance, dump your stuff, and continue to stay in the cave and do some more exploring. Something similar in Skyrim would be great.

I want to be able to rip peopls hearts out and eat them on the spot,

[zzfallens]

...ok.....then

[AnyWays655]

I want different races to hate each other. I can't imagine a Dunmer bartender giving my Argonian character a room for free, or something like that.

I also want to be able to write. We have paper, quills,and ink. Let's use them!

Going into the CS in Oblivion reaveals that this dose exist so... yeah.

[AnyWays655]

There's more but it's time to leave work ( yippee )

This would be great. I would love a thing like the Imperial Funiture Shop mod for really in game.

No, I think that TES games shouldn't have that type of gore and such because it's too much, like Fallout.
