PC Gamer: 15 Things We Want to See in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

PC Gamer loved Oblivion, but not because it was perfect. That and the previous Elder Scrolls game Morrowind were great because they tried more than they could do flawlessly – that’s what made them so liberating compared to a lot of other RPGs. Now that they know Skyrim is coming, though, it’s time to take a harder look at what the Elder Scrolls games could be doing better.

Bethesda, hire this person ASAP!

great article, i agree with very point

[GWAVE]

I simply want to play an Elder Scrolls game that doesn't have broken physics, broken quests, and broken character animations.

everything you said is true about the ES series so I don't know why you got all those disagrees...the only non horribly buggy one was the elder scroll's:arena(the first ES game)

of course the community always ends up fixing bethseda's games for them but it shouldn't be that way....

4. A bigger voice cast

so true

[peowpeow]

This is a great article, does point out everything I would've thought and more

[tacosRcool]

Those people in Oblivion are pretty ugly alright

[Zimmerman]

I just want to see more actual information about this game.

Since the trailer I've been keeping an eye out for news, and there is NONE. It's frustrating on some level tbh.

I agree with this article, but I think if they improved the gameplay more than anything else, I'd be happy. I want better physics, better combat, better lvling up system,and all that good stuff.

Besides, Skyrim is much smaller than Tamriel..So Bethesda better give us awesome gameplay and a great storyline.

[Ocelot525]

you mean cyrodill

[Hozi89]

Lol...Yeah, That's what I meant. Can't believe I said Tamriel.

Great article. i just want vampire to be in the game like oblivion but better

I love what he said. I would add don't gimp the memory just to fit it on 1 DVD.

Thats the reason why you hear the same voices and see the same thing over and over 100 billion times in a opnen world game. Go nuts and make the game 50 gigs! I don't want to enter the same room or see the same bush more then once in the whole game.

I hope theres some unique weapons in this game for treasure hunting. Fallout 3 was great when it came to them whether it was mission based or just going out hunting for them. In the mission ones that's where the enemies should be fixed level for more of a challenge.

I don't want to just find random weapons in chests, I played Oblivion my second time and I got a water walking necklace in a chest as soon as I came out of the sewer.

I also think the magic does need fixing. I like to use magic but I usualy pick a theif. If I do that the magic is basicaly pointless because since you havent picked a mage class you don't have enough magicka to use high powered spells. I think if you pick a theif you should get a few spells at the start that you can level up tough the course of the game. Like for example theif spells could be like Walk through walls/doors to get to a certain special treasures or invisibility which when leveled up lasted longer.

Oh and I'm so glad that he didn't mention Co-Op multiplayer as so many people beg for in Elder Scrolls even though it's not needed.

better graphics, dx11, longer main story, better combat, less cheesy acting...

[SLAYMANIO_ULTIMATE_1]

He forgot three things, better graphics, WAY better physics system and Massive AI. I hate it when you walk in a huge city and there’s only 3 f****** pedestrians walking around. Make the city's alive just like the Assassin’s creed series.

[trainsinrdr]

oblivion is a great game but i absolutely hate when i realised that i fucked up a quest because i did something else beforehand like completing knights of the nine before the restoration quest

[JOHN_DOH]

I hope they fix how when you talk to someone everyone else freezes in the background
