What would you change about Oblivion?

Angelmaker · Post by **Angelmaker** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 1:37 pm

Firstly I would liek to say that Oblivion is most probably the best game I have ever played. But after playing it for quite a while I think you can find small faults and things you would want to change. A few things that I would change are:

1) Should be a warning about storage places respawning. The only reason I found out about that was after reading on here and I had already lost the Staff of Corruption by then.

2) A better way of buying and selling so that you get a better deal than 1200 gold. I know that it can go up when your Mercantile skill goes up but I'm sure there are other ways.

3) Some of the things that NPC's say is a bit unrealistic at times. Can be funny though of course.

4) Maybe some family member for your character, depenind on race etc. Just a quick thought.

The last thing I have time to say before the end of lunch is that I really want another official expansion pack for the 360!!! I've nearly finished the Shivering Isles and although you can obviously carry on playing it's not the same when the main quests are over.

Ok cool

Don't want to be guilty of necroposting on the other thread, but at the same time, would like to contribute to this topic...

What I'd like to see: (and yes, there may be mods, but I mean officially, or in the next incarnation of Elder Scrolls)

Dual Wielding (as a Skill) - would govern how fast your other hand is, damage dealt, etc.

Customizable crests on shields, armor, and banners in homes (basically, you'd have a menu of fields, colors, and elements such as lions, drakes, etc. and create your own in that menu, then it's applied to those objects).

Additional dialogue options when you "sit" down with other NPCs at a tavern, guildhouse, etc. (make a reason for sitting)

Not have hitting your horse count as an assault or hitting a guildmate.

More types of armor (from angelic to demonic, to just plain weird, and more colors and designs).

Little guys (Halflings, Gnomes, Fairies, etc. as playable races)

Dragonmen (as a playable race)

Flight (mounted, spell, or racial ability) - similar mechanics as swimming

Levitation (spell, item, etc.) Great for archers or casters

Disguise (Skill) to get the guards off your tail, etc.

Have bookshelves recognize books, and auto-organize/display on bookshelves (instead of trying to place them by hand, more like containers), same with wine racks recognizing wine, weapon racks recognizing weapons.

Ability to dye clothes in different colors, so you can change the color of clothing that otherwise suits the look you're going for, but isn't the right color.

That is by far one my favorite thing from Ultima Online. I would love to see that in the next Elder Scrolls.

In response to Caldyn_Blade, firstly I had the same problem, wanted to discuss the subject but there is often someone wanting to throw some kind of rule book at you.

I like the idea of flying, not sure how it would work though as you would avoid all creatures that way, unless there were flying ones of course. I guess it could use up your magika or something so that you can't do it all the time. Maybe some items could allow you to do it too and for longer periods.

Not sure about the dual weilding though, would mean you can't block and would turn the fight into a mad frenzy. Could always be a way though.

Definately would like more dialogue options when in an Inn etc. To be honest I don't think I've ever sat on anything. I do somethings for role play but I wouldnt just sit in a pub and look at someone for a couple of mins so I won't do it in the game either. Maybe you could play mini games with them. Pub games basically. Could win money doing it and build up your personality and popularity with the NPCs.

Would be cool to create your own crest too

Should definitely be other flying creatures (levelled of course).
If a spell or potion, duration would be a factor, plus, there'd be a flight ceiling I'd imagine, and fatigue could come into play if a natural flying race.

Not sure about the dual weilding though, would mean you can't block and would turn the fight into a mad frenzy. Could always be a way though.

You could still block, they'd just have to make it a different key used for it, such as the grab function while in combat mode.

Do you mean other than an Alter of Enchanting or a Sigil Stone? Or are you speaking of more spell effects?

Angelmaker · Post by **Angelmaker** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:41 pm

Well I want them to bring another expansion out quick time as I'm nearly done with SI now and I'm just taking my time with it so that I don't finish it just yet.

I've only had a look at enchanting once but as you use a soul gem for it, even with a powerful one it seemed that the enchanted armour/weapon that would result from it wouldn't be all that. Is that wrong?

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 3:42 pm

Official word seems to be no more expansions....so hopefully they're busy on Elder Scrolls V!!!

Kahn · Post by **Kahn** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 3:47 pm

Actually,there all working on Fallout 3,its like a future-world oblivion

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:03 pm

I know, officially, but I'll bet there's a small team that is somewhat working on concepts for TES V. I hope they don't go the MMORPG route, as those just become a camp fest for "unique" drops soon into it...unless they can kind of recapture some of the Ultima Online feel...vs. EverQuest

Angelmaker · Post by **Angelmaker** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:08 pm

I like a medievil fantasy world, like how most fantasy stories are based. Not really into futeristic stuff. Never really gone much on space things or sci fi nonense. But they're not just making it for me so I guess I will just have to wait and see what they do

The Most Unholy · Post by **The Most Unholy** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 5:08 am

Change things about oblivion...more redguards owning the orcs in wars...

Lord Daem · Post by **Lord Daem** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 2:58 pm

I'd make all the mods available for PC out there, available for the PS3 and 360 versions.

Also I would make Oblivion online, so that you can interact with real people rather than NPC's.

ToyMachine · Post by **ToyMachine** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 5:28 pm

make the map bigger

an endless map an probably throw in different creatures, more weapons. Also have different voices for the npc's cause after awhile you notice theres only so many for them unless you go to SI they have a few new voices.

The Most Unholy · Post by **The Most Unholy** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 1:08 am

Maybe change the mainquest to you leading the redguards to re establish the empire...and make it run totally by redguards and kick the imperials to akavir to get eaten by lizard people.......................GENIUS!
i am awesome

Fajita! · Post by **Fajita!** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 1:53 am

1) Fire breathing horses!

2) more animals, one of my favorite oblivion sports is hunting

3) Tall grass, with realistic phisics . . . once again to improve hunting.

3) Expand/Add more towns and quests

The Most Unholy · Post by **The Most Unholy** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 1:56 am

OOOH more real sports...with teams, and the current champions could be the hammmerfell havocmen or the redguard repo men

ok i think im done

The flying would rock! My idea of how it could work is you hit a certain button, then you just control it like the flying things from the first Halo game.

Oh, and I would also like there to be a mod to fix the creature leveling system on Xbox 360.

Ergukrael · Post by **Ergukrael** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 4:54 am

It would be nice if you could use the torch as a weapon. Blunt 1 + fire damage.
