General Discussion

What would you like to see most in this game (specifically)? Obviously we want a better story, graphics, and combat system. But, for example. how would you want the combat? How would you want the world? Items, spells, and skills? Miscellaneous details.

I'll start by saying, I would like a humongous world with no map traveling - eventually you can use teleport. I would like the npcs to be less boring. Enemies don't level up when you level up. I would like the game to place you in an wimpy enemy section at the beginning of the game, so that you have to work your way to harder enemy areas. There should be long plains as well as deep forests. Less mountains and giant hills all over the place. Controls should make casting spells easier so that you don't have to open the menu so much. Speed spell would be awesome, so that you can travel quicker. I would like to see hordes of small enemies that you can blast sky high with a fireball. Many enemies should die quicker. More blood and carcasses... Less long winded conversations. If you talk to someone and they have nothing important to say then the conversation screen shouldn't even pop up... or some variation of this idea. How about incentive to purchase weapons and armor as well. And better physics, and more interactive things.

Maybe a hotbar for spells and such ? and pretty much what you said.  Also, more variety in melee attacks, like if you click once it does a downward diaganal slash (left>right), but if you click again right after the swing it should do something like: a horizontal slash (right>left), ofcoarse it should stop somewhere like maybe after 3or4 different swings ? and some weapons should have there own "styles", and maybe you could like learn "styles"  or add swings to your style, maybe add swings only you wont, or maybe a 1 swing combo, imagine a Spear/Pike: *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* , and then your enemy, like, deflates from all the holes  in his body, leaking blood, mwuahahahahahah

Lol, sorry about that run-on sentence, just got carried away I guess.

Edit: Oh and online PVP. RP etc , ofcoarse, just make it more of an MMO from the start, instead of a Multiplayer option or something of that sort  

peaceful (without PK, terrible words, terrible players...) gaming entironment..could you give me? if yes, please tell me - -..i will go to play..pay for it ..

NO COMPASS,  no fast travel, better quests, better story, mounted combat (it was supposed to be in Oblivion), LITTLE TO NO LEVEL SCALING/LOOT SCALING (hey all of a sudden all those bandits have the best armor in the game, and they're just as hard now as they were 10 levels ago!), and a non generic fantasy setting. Hmmm.. basically just make Morrowind again with a better engine.

Who are you and what are you talking about?

I would like them to keep the bounty system in place, but other players will be able to apprehend you and collect the bounty. They should have it where low bounty characters should only be arrested, and high bounty characters are allowed to be killed out right.

In addition, if you commit a crime against another player a default bounty will be placed on your head for a certain amount depending on the crime. However, the victim will be allowed to put his own money into the bounty and up the amount however much he wants. This way if a player has a lot of wealth it makes them a larger target for theft, but if you mess with them the risk is a lot greater. So greater Reward, but it comes with greater Risk as well.

Of course a system like this would need to have some sort of death penalty to stop exploiting, because what is to stop a friend from stealing from a wealthy player who puts a bounty on him for 1 million. Then comes along his guild mate who kills him just to collect the bounty and split it with his friend. Perhaps a system where a percentage of your equipment is confiscated depending on the severity of your crime. Also assets from your bank or home could be seized if it is an especially large crime.

I dunno these are just some thoughts I had which could fit into the Elder Scrolls system. I have a lot more, but maybe I'll share some later.

3rd Person gameplay. I personally hate the lack of periphrial vision in fps games, the camera should be fixed relatively close to your character though to ensure a sense of realism. Better melee as mentioned above. Online arena fighting would be cool, balanced by arena only equipment of course. Maybe a different time setting, I am becoming increasingly bored by fantasy low or high. Guns would be nice, more realistic stealth aspects such as disguise and infiltration. More realistic assassination abilities(See Jason Bourne, Michael Weston). Less magic and more enhanced human abilities like telekenisis and psychic type abilities. Really, something new and less repetitive.

Why does this OP come off like hes part of a development team making a new ES. I do not get that and question it because his post comes off like that, but clearly we all know it is not a game dev because they would never open up a discussion here with a regular account and ask here before an official forums, btw which does not exist yet until they do start this.

True, the topic does make him come off like that, but he could be stating it as a hypothetical.

Although his actual post does not sound like a dev what so ever. He is just asking us what we would like to see, and he also states his opinion on what he'd like to see.
