What I hope to see (and see changed) in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Baljot writes "If it wasn’t evident from my last post, and my general attitude here, I’m a huge fan of Bethesda and their Elder Scrolls series. I’ve easily put over 150 hours into Oblivion since it came out in 2006, so I think I’m pretty well hyped for the next instalment, called Skyrim. But, being such a huge fan and accounting for the number of hours I’ve put into the series means I have a pretty good idea about the flaws that the last game had. So here’s a brief but important list of what I hope Bethesda adds, changes, and tweaks for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."

no more in-game downs syndrome.

new title!!
skyrim - what the hell is that ?

[thrasherv3]

Skyrim? If you have the limited edition of Oblivion it comes with a handy "Pocket Guide to The Empire." It's a Province above Cyrodiil. From the description it says it's "beautiful" and it seems it resembles Central and Northern Europe. It is also home to the Nords. More backstory/history is provided in the Guide.

consider myself owned.

[thrasherv3]

The more you know :)

[PotatoClock]

And knowing is half the battle

[Unbornkirkster19]

cause knowledge is power!

[Sexius Maximus]

...and with great power comes great responsibility :)

[CombineElite]

GOooo JOE!!

Aslo, a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.

[Angainor7]

yeah guys i heard also tha they've developed a completely new engine from scratch. i hope its true.

[lashes2ashes]

i just checked and it was announced to day to be a whole new engine hopefully not as much game crashes as oblivion and fallout.

[lastdual]

There have already been 188 "TES V ideas and suggestions" threads on the official forums...

[newhumanbreed]

Hopefully more character customization.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I just hope I can create some stupid ungodly spells and enchanted weapons like I did in morrowind and could not do in oblivion. That'll make me SO happy!

[Gamer_Z]

I hope they put capes this time! i want my archer to have a cape :)

[thesithfreak]

flowing clothes. and bring back levitate damn it! oh and perhaps add another province than just skyrim. its smaller than cyrodill.

perhaps some more variety to the environments? i really don't want to stare at green the whole time, even though it was beautiful!

[byeGollum]

do I need to play previous elder scrolls games?
I'll probably get lost in Skyrim right?

[huzzaahh]

The Elder Scrolls games are pretty self-contained. You won't need to play the prequels, but why wouldn't you? Morrowind and Oblivion are incredible games that should definitely be played by everybody.

[TheMutator]

i want my glitches and my '' thank you kind of sir''

[hazelamy]

what i would like to see is one seemless world, meaning no loading when i go into towns and buildings.

though i'm not sure if that's technically feasible for consoles with only half a gig ram.
