MY GOD I COULD KISS YOU FOR SAYING THAT :D:D:D

I've always wanted to see what Kvatch looked like before the Daedra attacked. Its great to see that someone else agrees....

But I personally think that Bethesda was lazy....because apparently Kvatch had the only other arena outside the Imperial City in Cyrodiil. They could have included one somewhere else, for like training before you go into the arena

Ok. This is what I'd change about Oblivion:

1. Bring back Morrowind Inventory (tiled, I have a mod to do this)

2. Bring back PROPER enchanting that you can do yourself

3. Weild anything, put encumbrance right down so that you have to be selective, either miss out on a little bit of armour or pick up a weapon when you get there (it would be so awesome to kll someone with their own broom)

4. Bring back cast on use for rings and amulets, they are much more useful than people say.

5. More quests, make the guilds longer, I got arch-mage in about 14 hours of play (first time)

6. More guilds.

Basically, I prefer Morrowind to Oblivion, if it were more like Morrowind, it would be better IMO. Although, not being able to make potions with ingredients you can't identify is more realistic.

There must be a mod for that?

well i play on 360 so it would be sweet if they made downloadable content for Kvatch, I mean it would be sweet just to have more quests and have it be like a really beautiful looking town. Also have a new guild for Kvatch. :D :D

The biggest change I would like for the next Elder Scrolls would be some more elements. Fire, Frost, and Shock are a bit limited...

Or at least some more cool spell effects then damage . . . Like being able to freeze some one in place with a frost spell, or have heavy, metal, armour have a higher weakness to shock, or have fire melt armour if magnitude is strong enough . . .

Being able to make weapons/armour with raw matirials would be cool as well . . .

Melting of Armor would be a nice addon to fire, I can't believe I didn't think of that!

I know :-\

But really being able to freeze them, like in Midas' magic (not sure if I spelled that right again . . .)

And frost spells make armour brittle, so they break faster

Hmmm... Frost Damage + Paralysis + Disintegrate Armor. I know, I know. That's not the point. :wink:

I would make achievements for the computer as well.

And now only the Xbox 360 has a limited edition of vanilla Oblivion and the pc none. So I would make a fantastic limited edition, with many extra's, posters, dvd's, books, etc. etc. for pc only.

I don't want them to bring encumburnce down as I like to carry a nice selection of weapons with me. The blunt ones always weigh a ton but I like to have them for the skeletons. Plus at the mo I'm building my blunt and h2h up but if I get in a bit of trouble I just pull Umbra or Dawn/Duskfang out. Need to have a bow with a good selection of arrows too. I wish there was a way to get the staff of corruption back after the storage place I put it in respawned.

I've thought before that I would like it to be online but then hundreds or thousands of people would e constantly nicking your stuff all the time and it would turn into a constant battle. But it would be great for say all of us to be able to meet up online with our charachters and have team battles or team quests and to be able to talk through headsets would be cool.

Like Toymachine said though I would defo like more quests with Kvatch. But then I want more quests in general really. If they spent more time creating more expansion packs for Oblivion they would make shed loads of money and I would be more than happy to buy them if they were reasonaly priced

Enchanting Arrows would be a nice addition too. I hate only being able to enchant my bows.

You can find enchanted arrows but you can't enchant them yourself. I think, however, that enchanting the bow will cause all arrows fired from it to do that effect.

True, but it'd be fun to stack 'em (custom enchanted arrow and bow)...

Adding some different, fantasy mounts would be fun: Roc, Dragons, Giant Lizards, Nightmare Horses, Sabre-Toothed Tiger, Flying Carpet.

I know some mods do this, but I mean in the next incarnation....

Another thing: I wanna see levitation back!
It was so fun to attack a melee character way more powerful than you, quickly equip a wizard's staff or the steel blade of heaven and pump them full of arrows.

I'd love the ability to shoot arrows by horseback. Normally I don't ride horses but if that was in oblivion I'd be riding all over the place!

I'd love the ability to not have it lag when any four-legged creature comes on screen.

Totally do-able with the right amount of coin.

We're talking about vanilla though.

How about the ability to join evil factions? Such as, actually become a Bandit, Necromancer, Marauder, etc.

I'm not sure if this was posted yet or not (I haven't been keeping up much), but, I would greatly love to be able to put multiple enchantments on Robes, instead of just one. You should be able to place three enchantments on a Robe (the three being Cuirass, Gauntlets, and Greaves).
