I want retarded complex stats system akin to daggerfall
I want a main quest that is subtle and has the undertone of "go play the side quests as your cover story" sort of plot reason to actually play the game instead of anally raping you into the mainquest
id like RNG dungeons akin to daggerfall or nethack and with a "dig" type skill to burrow through walls ala red faction or nethack
Also: khajiit racial variants. I want to be a goddamn ohmes raht and be able to play the thief master race without being an ugly furfetcher.

>>760 I'd love a subtle main quest. I'd go ahead and say that something like the Thalmor or some crazy ass province wide god-dictator like an evil mad Talos being the main quest.
I'd enjoy having to hide from patrols and using clothing and uniforms to hide yourself from patrols, kind of a resistance feel in a game.

>>781 >bad as in unintuitive The only thing that, to me, makes it unintuitive is that if you try to play it like morroblivirim, youll get frustrated with the real-time 20 hour walk through the empty overworld.
Think of it as a roguelike with a semblance of an overworld, towns, and multiple dungeons, and then it starts feeling much more intuitive.
The only major issue with it for me is that if you dont grind until at least level 10 or so, you might break the game due to a dialogue glitch if you start the main quest…so play it as a multi-dungeon roguelike until then.
Other than that, its very playable. Even with all of the hubub about it being "hard to run on modern systems" – bullshit, look under daggerfall:files on uesp. They have a pre-configured, well-patched DL that runs fine.

>>1671 I agree with pretty much all of this. Especially the factions. While it may make sense that in Cyrodill or maybe even Skyrim, your reputation in factions doesn't effect the reputation of other factions, I think that Hamerfell would be a good place to reintroduce this mechanic (i.e. hardline traditionalist Redguards wouldn't like you if you became top of the mage's guild and they would probably call you a necromancer). Also, I like the guild quests from Oblivion the best (sue me) so if they could make them more like that as compared to the disappointing shit in Skyrim it would make me happy.
Honestly, it's probably gonna be as casual as Skyrim but Todd Howard knows I'm his bitch and I'm gonna buy it anyway.

Main thing I think would help is a decent combat system. Magic boils down to slinging one destruction spell over and over again because that's basically the most efficient solution. There are some utility spells and the shields and defensive buffs are somewhat useful but overall magic feels really mundane and combat focused. Would be nice if the magic system in the future required a bit more creativity.

I would love to go to Hammerfall to discover what brought General Tullius back, and how it will effect the cold war with the Thalmor.
Maybe also Summerset Isle to see what the Thalmor are up to in Alinor.
I wouldn't mind if we only got to explore half of each continent.
Battle system could be like Morrowind, but with something resembling a tactics design. Something reminiscent of the first Dragon Age.
Companions would be awesome. More than one, and each with relevant back stories.
Bring back mysticism for sure, especially if we go to Alinor. We can't not have it in the home of the Altmer.
I'd also like to see cities like what were in Assassin's Creed. Large cities that reflect the attitudes and behaviors of the culture, and not vanilla outposts that look like dirt and don't really have any flavor.
Morrowind tried to do this, but obviously they didn't have the capacity to pull it off to grand scale back then.
If we were to use modern technology one could easily implement something like Balmora as we see in OPs pic.

What's the point of trying to make it an RPG, if you don't even have classes or attributes. Then it's just a hack and slash or magic/bow shooter with a couple RPG elements attached, which could work ok, but I'd much prefer to have a real RPG.

Please see this thread for Lich stuff:
>>1702
In TES Lichdom is free-for-all, but you really do have to do evil shit to pull it off, none of that baelnorm pussy footing about, like in D&D.
But yeah, the only detailed rituals/Transformations I can recall are the Hourglass Lich, The metnion of that dragon preist who sucked out all his blood, The Underking, though that was an accident (I think?) and some of the Lich of the Lost boy cavern.
But effectively speaking Lichdom in TES terms is literally the biggest spiritual Bluepill you can take.

Massive cities, though sounding cool in your own mind, would be a pain and you'd soon get bored.
Actually think about the implementation of it: You'd have dozens/hundreds of houses full of stuff to steal so your game economy is broken from the start. Not only that, it'd be replete with do-nothing NPCs. You then have to traverse all this space to get anywhere, this space that doesn't actually add anything to the game beyond "OMFG BIG CITIES!".
Basically, all you're doing is adding more walking. It adds nothing without content to warrant cities that big.
Even GTA, based in cities, strips back on the cities because gameplay comes first.

No longer could you just generate some dude and give him the standard dialogue topics everyone else has, but you had to give him a few lines of unique voiced dialogue. That would've made creating NPCs more expensive, and therefore towns had to have less population (and by extension, less buildings).

I'd start with something "smaller" in scope. A game that takes place entirely on the Imperial Isle, but actually makes the Imperial City the proper size of a capital city. Basically a map slightly smaller than Skyrim, but it is all one city. This would be very work-intensive to create but would probably be the only way to do an ES game that has a full-sized city with currently available technology.

Part of their eventual goals, which probably wouldn't have worked but whatever, was to make the parts of the world they controlled, and eventually the whole Earth to be uniracial and unicultural. They planned for a Thousand Year Reich, they thought they had time. Once they had total cultural power in a region they would edit recorded history to make it seem like the people they genocide never existed at all. The capstone on their "final solution" was to write the jews out of history entirely, then the gypsies, then probably whoever else was next down on their shit-list.
They want to do this because they are based off of the Thalmors. All in-world justifications are secondary to the thematic inspiration in this instance.

#1. A better starting option. Let's not have the same over-played 'you're a prisoner and your escape throws you into the biggest quest line right off the bat' thing. How about something more akin to Alternate Start, customize your character, pick a start. Classes should basically denote what you start with, not really what all you can do. I think a mix of the Morrowind/Oblivion and Skyrim levelling system would be great. You'll have attributes like Strength, Vitality, Dexterity; and skills like Athletics, Destruction, Security.

1) There should be dialogue options that appear when you meet certain criteria. If I have 100 ranks in conjuration, when I meet a Daedric Prince for the first time, my first words should not always be "Are you a…Daedra or something?" If the character has a reason to know what they are, it should be a reasonable greeting or an excerpt from the Daedra's invocation or something. This should go for speech as well. If you meet a noble, you should have to ask them to excuse your poor "royalese".

Whatever they do, I hope they structure the story to have some natural "break" points where you can go off and do other quests. That's something that Morrowind did beautifully, and it's been lost in Oblivion and Skyrim for the sake of keeping up a brisk pace for the narrative. You literally have no-where in the main quests where you are told to fuck off and do other quests for a while, then get back to us when you're ready.

get rid of vehicle free fast travel and objective markers. one of the things I enjoyed about Morrowind was actually having to talk to NPCs to figure out where things are, instead of just teleporting at will and following the map marker

I want Elsweyr or Black Marsh, maybe even Valenwood. They could do Valenwood and Elsweyr together if consoles can handle it . With cities the same size of Morrowind's and full of n'wahs.

>>755 one of the worst things about Skyrim was the itty-bitty fucking cities.
I loved Skyrim's story but the cities sucked ass, they were more like villages.
So, definitely bigger cities.
Ranking system needs to be less open-ended, instead based on actual roles.
If there's another underground walking-dead army in the thousands, at least make it seem like people are actually aware of the fact.
Keep the story style of Skyrim the same but make it seem like a conflict is actually going on, like in FO New Vegas where you actually made friends and enemies, just not so blatantly black-and-white. In New Vegas you could accidentally kill a Legionaire in the middle of nowhere or make a certain dialogue decision with no one in sight and then suddenly everyone in the world knows what just happened. That was retarded.
Make magic more detailed, like in Oblivion where you could create kickass spells. Magic in Skyrim was really boring.
More voice actors. Worst thing about ES is the same voice actor doing over 1000 people.
Make you status in guilds actually matter.
mix up the way the story happens, like instead of some random douchebag coming out of nowhere to save the day, put you into a ready-made perspective. Like in Skyrim, you could start out as an Imperial dude who is a Stormcloak sympathizer who goes over to the nords, or not.
Delete some skills, as they're basically useless and no one cares about them. No one cares about unarmed, its just taking up disc space. Delete the garbage to make room for the new. Acrobatics was a moronic skill. Scrap 'Speech' and 'lockpicking' too, retard skills.
way more weapon types, maybe even get rid of the uniform weapon classes and just have random shit. The worst thing about Skyrim besides cities was spreading out 5 weapons classes over 200+ hours.
Let combat finally involve body parts flying when you actually crater someone with a longsword. That really killed it for me, that and the obligatory finishing moves that were as deadbeat as FO3 head explosions.

>>5719 >make your status in guilds actually matter I was playing Skyrim again recently and there's two things that stood out to me.
1) You just become the Arch-Mage for no real reason. Tolfdir seemed like a better fit. Skyrim is really bad about wanting to give the player too much, and some of the other games have done this too, but in Skyrim it feels really weird and not appropriate cause it's just "do this, now here's all this power!". Keep me from doing shit. In Oblivion, I had to gain favor back with the Thieves Guild if, for instance, I started to fuck around with the Dark Brotherhood. In Morrowind some guilds where just locked from me, or were really not fit for the kind of character I wanted to be at the time. As in, there's no need for me to join the Fighters Guild if I'm a mage and honestly it felt pretty discouraged. This also brings me to my second point.
2) Don't force me, or even let me, do everything under the sun. You want to do the Gauldur's Amulet quest? Gotta join up with the College even if you're not interested or it doesn't feel right for your character. That shit really pissed me off. Why would you make me do that? Let me do it on another playthrough, I usually don't intend to see or do everything my first run. Fuck, don't even let me join the Mages Guild if I'm in no way oriented towards magic. I'll do it when I make a magic character.
Can't do the face sculptor as a vampire because you're undead, but you can do the College just because you're a Dragonborn and have to join them anyway as part of simply talking to the Orc for the elder scroll part of the main quest or to get into the dungeon for the Gauldur's Amulet quest.
What the fuck, Bethesda? And for fuck's sake just don't hand people shit on a platter, there were books for every spell I needed right in front of my damn face for doing the College related stuff like Labyrinthian. What's the goddamn point?

I would love to see Elsweyr, Third Era during the 5 year war with the Bosmer- "Following the tumultuous history of the Numidium, which only touches on Elsweyr briefly, surviving literature records no event in Elsweyr until 3E 394, when the Five Year War began. The war began following an event the Khajiit call the "Slaughter of Torval." The Khajiit claim that over a thousand Khajiti citizens were killed by an invading Bosmeri force from Valenwood without provocation, while the Bosmer claim that the attack was in retaliation for the disruption in trade resultant from Khajiti raids on Valenwood's wood caravans. The war ended in 3E399, with a Khajiti victory, following tactical and strategic moves by Khajiit tribesmen that were seen as impressive both by foreign commentators and the tribesmen themselves."

>scrap the regenerating health shit >add food/water/sleep stats All good.
Having the most potions and best stats SHOULD have a big effect on the combat outcome, Dark Souls' "deep combat system" consists mainly of rolling around and running in circles, and only works at all because every enemy is a generic hitsponge so encounters can be dull AND predictable.
Yes, but only if they remove the magical ability of guards to always be everywhere.
If done well. If they're hard to navigate because of shitty quest instructions (meaning poorly done, not realistically vague or cryptic) and copypaste structures/rooms, no thanks.
I, for one, see no purpose in everything being low level shit I would never use, and since you support restrictive classes you can't even "muh realism" or "muh suspension of disbelief" on me.
>>762 >Bethesda >Ever making a MQ that isn't just some tacked-together bullshit to railroad you through most of the major areas and some of the more shitty minor areas There will never be a Bethesda main questline that isn't complete shit.
>>769 But Requiem is just making the balance even worse + hitsponges, it's dull as fuck.
>>2722 Agree on all points.
>>2886 >>2909 >>2957 >>2958 >>2959 >>2963 >>2968 >>2979 ES, WoW, D&D, and FR lore are all HEAVILY derived from Tolkien…with some appearance, alignment, and naming details switched around.
Wishing to "get rid of generic Tolkien fantasy" is wishing to get rid of basically all standard fantasy elements since Tolkien started publishing. It's pretentious, it's delusional, and it's not going to happen.
>>3749 >Why would you make something not every single player will come across in every playthrough? Can you please get the fuck out of /tes/ since you've clearly never played any of the games?
>>4217 But let's be honest, cumulatively the waifu community has made a few decent model customization tools (which are invariably used to pump out shitty NPCs and PCs).
Would an optional body-molding thing be so bad, really? People could have their fetishtastic bullshit natively and other people could make freakshows for fun, and autists could have their customization.
Two thousand player houses (or more specifically, options to create them like Hearthfire) wouldn't be bad at all.
Customizable wearable items in-game could lead to unlimited muh immersion as well as whore armor for whoever wanted it.
Craftable arrows is bad how?
>>4222 >>4231 What's the problem with ignoring the "IMMINENT DOOM" main quest and fucking around like in literally every other RPG? The main quests are always shit in TES anyways.
>>4722 >>4727 >>4820 Yes please.
>>2846 Symbolic, yes. "From humility, greatness". "Fuck the man". Okay, okay, it's been how many games? We get it. The same symbolism over and over is no longer required.

Some people actually like to roleplay, and when you have people telling you "OMG this evil thing will come to destroy us all any day" it makes it a little weird to go collect flowers for somebody, or whatever else. Even ignoring that, in Skyrim or Oblivion the main quest is always pushing you forward, and most of the time makes it seem like you have to do the next quest right then, which really makes for terrible pacing.
ayy lmao

And while it makes sense that you shouldn't be able to do this in Oblivion, because you're more or less just a regular guy (until SI, anyway), it kind of stands to reason that Nerevar incarnate or the Dragonborn should be demigod-tier badasses.
I'd like it if they put a Skyrim-esque perk tree system with more skills in the next game, but brought attributes back.
