I'm thinking something more severe rather than annoying. You can sleep in a safe spot in the wilderness without a bed, but you recieve a -5 to all your attributes or something.Bulletinmybrain said:

What happens when you don't get 6 hours of sleep?
TES 5 needs to make a decision. Is it a world-exploring game, or an RPG? Because trying to do both satisfies no one.
Oblivion had poorly implemented RPG elements, and a bland world. Pick one and fix it.
Give me a flying city or mermaid octopus ice fortresses, something to make exploring worthwhile. Make each mission a real adventure, that will take me somewhere I've never been before (that isn't just Cave 123 repainted with Green).
On the flipside, make me feel truly powerful if you want the game to be an RPG. Do away with leveling scale, incorporate some positional damage (make headshots do more damage, etc.). Bring in professional writers to make compelling story. Tighten up the leveling system so it becomes an intuitive part of game play and not something we need to balance like a knife to not gimp our character.
In this, I agree 100 percent with Yahztee. Bethesda tried to do everything, and as a result did nothing special in every area.

Oblivion really felt like it needed multiplayer. And you all know this. Mounted combat would be nice but I could live without it. Less focus on the elves, elves suck and we all know this. Dwarves as a playable race, Dwarves are badasses and we all know this.
You could fight on horseback, it was just ridiculously retarded.Matthicus said:
As for levitation, I'm fairly sure I saw it in the spell list, but I really have to shoot down making it "necessary". The whole point of the Elder Scroll series is play it as you wanna, and if you make spells necessary to complete the game, you just alienate people who play it as swordsmen or archers.
I have to agree with people on making Ranged combat better. I really felt it was gimped in comparison to melee and the only way to get reasonable damage was to fire a magic arrow from a magic bow. Which you wouldn't get until you were lobbing about insane spells and using your +20 Sword of Fuck-You-***** to one shot all but the hardiest of foes.
They really shouldve put an epic feel to the game, a battle that you can actually lose. At the end of the storyline it really felt... sorta gay, an entire army is attacking and they have about 18 guys as their leader is attacking a huge city. I'd like to see an army that basically consists of everyone you have gained as an ally vs. some ridiculous number of foes and make it feel really important and big.
Also i agree with the earlier post, the ability to attack a rival guild and have permanent effects to your game would be cool, espescially if you could attack a city and have to fight huge amounts of people. destroying a city would be sweet and NO it SHOULDN'T be rebuilt. That defeats the purpose.
Oh yeah, and any inportant NPC you cant kill, still shouldnt get up with 7 arrows in their head and say "good day, how may i help you?"

Mabye a non linear storyline too, but that would be hard to do in a good way. As in not a if youre good you get this end, bad you say? This one then. Something that involves a real cause and effect, and other events out of the players control, as in NPC;S THAT DON'T JUST STAND AROUND SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. Ones that actually change the game independent of the player. And multiplayer would be cool, but at the same time kinda iffy. If you have a friend whos much stronger than the rest of your group and decides to go aroung murdering, what happens to the player who got killed? it wouldnt be cool if they rezzed, and how would reloading work? Good idea, much harder to use than I think they can do in any reasonable time.
I have watched the X-play hands on preview a hell of a lot and you will be able to make moral choices. So pretty much you will be able to be a bad guy. On this sight they have Todd talking about how there will be over 500 endings in the game. The game is approximately 100 hours long. That's about 50,000 hours of gameplay! So just because Bethesda made Oblivion doesn't mean Fallout will be Oblivion with a post apocalyptic twist.mjhhiv said:

Well, the smart thing would be a fast travel system that allows you to travel from anywere, but you have to have travelled to your destination at least once before.
Also, I want a good vampire with the ability to embrace selected individuals (a cap would be needed, so that it doesnt get too rediculous), maybe I could create a guild with its own guild meeting spot. Maybe I could even create my own guild in the next Elder Scrolls?
Also, if your going to have a story that tries to include epic battles and citys of wonder... Have the curtain match the drapes! I dont know about anyone else, but when defending Bravil from the main portal, the mighty army of the Emporer was only a small band of around ten people. Please, avoid that sort of thing.
Make it so that combat is overall more involving and accurate. Maybe when fighting, I could kick a goblin onto a spike or do other interactive movement? Maybe a spell could alter my environment, so on a narrow ledge undead would slip to their deaths from a thin sheet of ice. Oh, and ranged weapons could be more diverse.
Diverse monsters, a dungeon basically came down to this: either bandits, undead, or animals. Where is the uniqueness in that? Say, where are the unique dungeons that arnt quest related? Maybe I could come across some sort of abondoned city in a cavern? Maybe a sort of friendly elven glade in a desert? Soemthing unique, please!
Get rid of the illusion of choice. Most quests required me to finish it by going "do a, then travel to b, collect fame and gold". Why coudldnt I decide to simply take the treasure for myself and have the quest complete? Also, I want these quests to effect my later adventures, like offering myself as a knight could lead to jail as a survivor of my latest massacre steps forward to accuse me? More of that, please.
The one thing the next Elder Scrolls needs, more than anything else, is a level cap. Playing the game, you could reach a very powerful height indeed. But, if you use magic, then your basically untouchable. Whats with the 100% chameliean? Make it so that your character can still be challanged as you play.
Random events are a good way to entertain people, as they are unsuspected and random. But dont force people, it could turn on you. So, maybe you could help someone who is being threatened by thugs or join a militia to kill a local monster? Maybe the daily tasks of NPC's could be more varied, as I have never seen a farmer farming.
Intelligent A.I., particularly enemies. How about that when I enter a room, every enemy could not focus on me? It seems strange that a bandit and tiger would work like such a team to kill old me, and speaking of age...
Maybe time could progress in game? Maybe it could be like Fable, but have it as a option that could be disabled. Or, another handy feature of Fable 2...
The ability to start a family. It seems to me that a selling point for Fable 2 is that I can start a family, and they can be killed by your enemies (or even yourself). How immersive would that be, to come home and find your nemesis has just butchered your love and child? How would you react? What if, instead you werent just fighting for yourself, what if... you were pregnant? To me, this seems like I'm not just fighting for myself, but for some piece of code that proceeds to draw me into the world even more.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my rant. I hope that I havnt just repeated earlier thoughts and tips.

That's the way it works in Oblivion. They were hoping that would make you walk or ride your horse occasionaly. Did you even play the game?The_Toe_Bighter98 said:
Yeah a family would be cool, but did anyone else notice there were absolutly no childern anywhere in oblivion? Or any other TES game for that matter?
That was probably to avoid getting in trouble for having child killing in the game. I think that's why you weren't allowed to have weapons in Bowerstone in Fable.
Yes actually, but I was talking specifically of towns. It seems wierd that I can fast travel from a sunny location to the snowy area that is Bravil. I should have mentioned that, but hey I was expecting people to realise that.fat american said:
Maybe a bit of gameplay that makes you feel more real when sneaking around, like espionage, or the ability to drive any NPC literally insane by talking to them. If youre the MADgod in SI, why aren't you toatally off your rocker, except not only that, but youre also eating babies and then using their dismembered bodies as clubs?
Or as sheogorath mentioned, ingredients for brain pie?
And thinking of dismemberment,I know there was the deadly reflex mod, but cmon Xbox lost so much to PC cuz of no player mods.

If you don't know where a town is and there's no marker on the map it's a little difficult to find them.The_Toe_Bighter98 said:
As i remember a friend of mine did make a mod that had a club called baby beater in it that when it hit an NPC literally turned them into a baby. Then lunched them very, very far. I was entertained.
And i love the glitch with fingers of the mountain quest and a horse, the horse gets launched SO FAR. And for toe blighter, about half of my fun in oblivion was to see how much i could screw the world up, such as amassing a pile of cloned gaurd bodies in the middle of a town then watching people carry on with their lives simply glancing at the pile, or gaurds that go nuts going, "this bodies still warm theirs a murder on the loose" about 50 times, then forgetting that they already checked the first body and so repeat the process. That is funny to me.
