Simple, share what you would like to see in the Mage's guild analogue this time around, Activites, NPCs you would like to see, types of quests, services, Anything done diferently from Oblivion, headmasters wth great, Dumbledore-esque beards

I personally would love to see the whole school aspect of it stressed more. Go to classes with various teachers, Get to know your fellow students, take exams, eventually become a teacher yourself, get a dorm room etc.

The way you described that sounds way to much like Harry Potter to me .... ugh.

Think of it as Harry Potter but eveyone is a grizzled old Nordic warrior and they fight to kill.

I want Necromancy, but I don't know if it'll be in the College. I mean... I really, really want Necromancy. Reviving Chickens is just the beginning...

I want more corruption, mages whom also worship sithis

More politics in every faction, compared to Daggerfall and Morrowind, Oblivion was just too stable.

I really enjoyed the imperial cult quests in morrowind, searching for ancient relics, going trough epic dungeons, and receiving nice rewards for delivering them
So i really hope that if the cult is not included/playable, we could still have some S'drassa kind of quest givers

Not really what I want from just the College but from every guild, but I want more post-questline interaction than in Oblivion. I also wouldn't mind a similar system to Morrowind; you have to have the skills to advance. In Oblivion, you could be Archmage by only casting 4 spells. I dislike that.

"More dungeon delving"? Like, more than in Oblivion? Is that even possible? There must be more creative ways to use magic than "herp derp go intu cavez?!"

I am not really gonna pay attention to the College, but my Shadowscale will use a little bit of magic for RP reasons

But anyway, what would be cool is if they had a branch for players that use magic but not as hardcore as Mages and stuff.

I think my first run though is going to be more of a fighter/stealth guy. I'll still use spells here and there but melee and stealth will be my main sources of combat. That being said, I totally plan on making a mage character as well, so from the College.. I dunno, but I like the idea of more post-quest stuff to do. I hope that Beth has made use of the radiant system for these factions so that, technically, the quests for the guilds "never end" - that would be pretty rad.

I want expeditions type stuff. Indiana Jones haha.
Puzzles, traps, and enemies.

I want actual theories behind how certain magics work.
You know histories on Magnus, Magna Ge, Aetherius, Aedra, Daedra and their relation/involvement with magic.
Detailed stuff on Soul bindings, Necromancy, Something on Zombies, Atronachs
I want quest dealing with the Dwemer and their relationship with magic and science.

I'd like it to be suitable for all types of mages, not just the 'good' ones. It doesn't have to be blatant, but maybe something like a secret cult or group amongst the staff/students, or a hidden shrine, or something. Anything that depends upon the choices you make, really.

I like the idea of school-like stuff, not too much but just a bit to test you here and there
I'd have voted for black magic, but if there was even the slightest chance of that being in the game it'd probably be a different group

I want it to be more magical. Through centuries of magical radiation I want the College to have its dimensions distorted and its exact size to be forever changing. A closet might appear bigger inside than it's supposed to, a seemingly normal doorway may reveal itself to be a gateway to oblivion, a room wherein gravity is nonexistent or severely altered and twisted.

I could go on for quite a while, but I highly doubt many of my hopes and preyers will find themselves answered. Also, I want magic to be more potent inside the college... Just cause...

I also want a great deal more intern rivalry, corruption and politics. Maybe the clash between "proper" accepted magic and "evil" magic, giving the PC the choice of siding between this or that branch of magic.

I want artifacts, lots of artifacts. And I want to be able to reclaim them somehow after I finish the quest they were associated with. Nothing annoyed me more in Oblivion than not being able to get my hands on the some of the artifacts after their quest was done.

Or go Harry Potter and have moving pictures. That would be pretty cool IMO
