I would like to see some dual wielding as well, but only with daggers and short swords. maybe you could mix and match. maybe have a dagger and a short sword, but the speed would suffer a penalty when you dual wield.
I like that disguise idea, but it should only work if it is a closed face helm or mask and no one can see you change. if they do then you get a bounty on your head. and if the crime is bad enough they will actively send out search parties to find you.
I also liked the if you give it back then you get off the hook, or if you escape they make you pay the price of the good and a little bit more for the state. and if you murder a ton of people then you may get the death sentence and HAVE to escape and if you are part of the theives guild they will break you out of the prison, if you have joined (for those who read my other post) a bandit faction they will attack at the gallows or guillotine and allow you to escape. the fighters guild will not help you personally but they will leave some weapons and armor lying around for you to use for your escape. the mages guild will just teleport you away and talk to the law to get you off the hook, i forgot to mention that the fighters guild will also talk to the law to get you off the hook. the dark brotherhood/ morag tong will kill the guards guarding your cell and give you some weapons and armor along with the keys to your cell.
for that tho you would have had to have killed like an entire settlement and all the guards that tried to arrest you. and you just had too low of health to fight another guard so you gave yourself up which would be highly unlikely. but a cool idea nonetheless.

Would it be so much to ask, that when I am standing in the dark, with black clothes on, no torch lit, making no noise at all crouched down, that enemies not see me no matter how bad my sneak skill is?
I totally agree on that disguise thing. That's a really cool idea.

Let's take away the telepathic link that immediately informs every guard on the continent that you lock picked in some crappy village to the south and someone vaguely saw you.
I know, also let's make it so guards inform you of what crime you committed, I can't name all the times I had to pay a 5 gold fine for something and never found out what it is.
*Area-local Creatures -i.e Creatures only found in one area on the map.
*Creatures and Armour which don't level up as you do.
*More diverse areas.
*More then two voices per race.
*Better walking animation, it ruins the illusion when everyone minces everywhere.
*Clever friendly npc AI, I'm sick of them getting in my way during fights.
*Better character models (including animation).
*And most importantly, no more bloody fight music when a mudcrab spots me.. crabs aren't generally that violent

They need a serious overhaul on the run, walk and jump animations. Especially jump.
On the subject of disguise, I did have it in mind that whatever disguise you were wearing would have to obscure your face. But also that if you were wearing the same armor or clothes that the guards would search you for the stolen item. So that you would have to obscure your armor as well, or just leave it somewhere.
Another thing we need. Thieves. I don't mean the faction. I mean ones who will try to break into houses (including yours!!) and steal things. Which would finally give a purpose for the lock spell from Morrowind. ((Did they sill have that in Oblivion?)) Anyway, I think if a thief breaks into your house you should be able to ask the thieves guild about it and they will direct you to the thief who stole your stuff. Nice little spontaneous quest right there. Of course they would differ in skill according to location. So a small town thief wouldn't be as good as one in the big cities.
On the subject of locations for ES5 I would like to see Black Marsh, or wherever it is Khajit are from. The lore on Khajit always says there are different varieties ranging from catlike elves to full on animals. I want to see some of that culture. There could also be lots of quests either for or against the slave traders from Morrowind.

Technically, the lock spell does still exist in Oblivion, but you'll never find it. It is in the coding, it does work, but you'd need a PC version to ever bring it out and use it. I have, because it was suggest I not use it, therefore I had to. You can use the console to directly lock something, or give yourself the spell, both of which work.Limos said:
As for other thieves, that is something I'd like to see. My characters, as I said before, are packrats. I probably have a quarter million gold in just... stuff lying around my Imperial City house. I could be robbed and never notice, but if others know who that thief is, and I track the bastard down, he/she is done for. Basically, I like it. Why should be the only one having all the fun nicking things?
Also, when I'm approached by highwaymen, and I throw in the Gray Cowl, they should realize I am the superior thief and leave me the hell alone.
And so long as I'm down to minor complains, Bethesda, I never want to see another cliff racer as long as I live. Period.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had a relatively good world emphasis, but then I went and spoiled myself:
I played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.
Now, clearly that wasn't a virtual world game. It actually was pretty dang buggy and had a balance that was downright masochistic on anything higher than the default difficulty.
However, the really nice thing about Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is that really presented the player as the hero. Best FPS melee combat I've ever played. Spells that felt like spells, rather than glowing balls of arbitrarily custom designed crap. Physics so good you could throw something at enemies from sufficient height to break the boards in the floor underneath them.
So, in short, the first thing I'd consider tweaking in Elder Scrolls V would be a much more immersive-feeling GUI.
Then, yeah, definately look into making a lot more dynamic content in the virtual worldly emphasis. Like, cities that can be captured by monster populations left unchecked. Maybe even randomly generated constent ala Daggerfall, provided you can prevent it from feeling too copy/paste.

A GUI? What does that have to do with what you described at all?geldonyetich said:
Something I want is the ability to layer your clothing like you could in Daggerfall, including how you could wear your hood up/down and throw your cape over one shoulder, the other or both...
All excellent points.
Another thing I would like to see in the game is an increase affect of fatigue. In Oblivion I could run for hours without losing a single fatigue so long as my skill in athletics was high enough. It should be that after every fight you need to eat or you get over-fatigue. Being over fatigued causes your character to lose health with ZERO chance to restore it with healing spells and potions. You have to eat to stop the loss of health, another thing I want to see is more sleeping without the whole crap about falling to sleep and worrying the time you wake up everyone would have got their mail ordered Deadric amour.
I think disguises will be a good idea. Like the mission in Morrowind where wearing a simple helmet was sufficient enough to sneak into the compound. It should be that if you are not wearing a helmet guards notice you right away, if your wearing a helmet it takes them a second, if you are wearing a different helmet it takes 3 seconds to recongize you. If you are wearing a complete new outfit with new helemet the guards won't recongized you at all.
On the point of helmets a really good idea is penalties for certain acts in public. In Oblivion the person you are talking to doesn't like it when you are talking to him with a sword in his face. The same should be for helmet, people are much slower to welcome you is you are masked or helmeted. In addition to unnecessary jumping, running.
Lastly if you are dropping items to lighten your bags I think the nearby villagers would leap on that to steal the goods. I would...

1) Merge some ideas from other games. I played Fable TLC a week ago and I kept saying to myself: "OMG! This is exactly what I wanted to see in Oblivion!" (that's why i have a million mods installed)
2) Have MANY paths/endings, but for real! Different characters means different stories. Be able to choose an evil dark path or the flower child path or even a "I don't give a fuck" path.
3) Have online. See players play their own stories. Help them or destroy them
4) Better graphics! The distant lands in Oblivion looked like pictures made of vomit and WHY??? can't I see my legs??? (I ask this question in every single FP game!)
5) Make the game well balanced and add rare armors that YOU AND ONLY YOU can have.
6) Make NPCs more like people and less like moving statues with only one or two voices.
7) Resurrect Lucien Lachance!!!
8) Have more realistic worlds with more than 3 landscapes and cave models! Oh, and no fast traveling
Ok, that's pretty much all I could think of...

I didn't really read all of the posts past half of page 4 so forgive me if this was said already.
I believe you should be able to summon more than one creature at a time. The maximum number of creatures you can summon should go up with your conjuration skill, I practically do nothing but summon creatures over and over infinitely until the enemy dies to be honest. But it would go faster if I could summon more at once.

Pretty much everything. As they say in the industry, "The GUI is the game." What I was saying is the overall feel of the way they present Dark Messiah of Might and Magic made Oblivion feel like a pale imitator in comparison. It just did a whole lot better job of immersing the player. The GUI is the mechanism of what immerses the player.Pikka Bird said:
More guilds
More Houses or Mansions or even Castles!
has said by PurpleRain, a chance to be evil!
Controling thousands of minions to the destruction and devouring of living people
More spells (and this time, make the corpses have burns and freezes)
Conquering smal villages
Making your own business
Servants
Flying
Being able to get married
More clothing and armor
And most of all, and i know everyone who played Oblivion will agree with this: Sexy NPC´s

Oh dear lord, the Cliff Racers in Morrowind. They were especially bad when I played an Argonian Enchanter. With silk pants of flying. Everywhere I went cliff racers would come out of nowhere. I was mobbed everywhere I went by cliffracers. (luckily I had the daedric glove of bitchslapping which did 500 fire damage for 1 second in 50ft on target. One big ball that killed all the cliff racers.)iamnotincompliance said:
That probably the worst thing in Elder scrolls, that weird NPC telepathy. You hit one cliff racer and every single one for 5 miles in every direction realizes where you are. Same with the guards. Kill a beggar, in his hut, with one hit, and the guards still know.
Alright, 2 cents submitted.
Spells - Rays, cones, bombs you have to lob just right, summon more creatures, jets you can blast continuous streams with, and for God's sake make them deletable!
Fast Travel - You could keep it, just make it cost you something. Gold or maybe rare gems you have to find that make teleporters work
Tits - Like in Daggerfall. They won't though. If you put M on the box, you should be REQUIRED to put boobies in the game (see "Boobies Did Not Break the Game above). M is for Mammaries.
Level scaling - Yeah, that has to go. They could have monsters level to a point, but certain areas are for high levels only.
Flying - and not like the lame levitating in Morrowind where your character is walking in the air. I mean flying like flying with the body prone and some cool animations for a running take off and landing. Maybe it could be a skill you get better at the more you do it!
Evil - Don't just let the character say they are evil and yet have them go along with the Man's Plan. Let your character help further along the evil plot line. Or play both sides for patsies and make a different ending. And make the characters actions have tangible results. Like if they help the evil side, more monsters roam the country side or the sky turns blood red.
Vampires - I really enjoyed being a vampire in the game. However, they really had some strange ideas. The point of being a vampire is to be more powerful and look sexy doing it. Not like some geriatric. The vampire pictures looked cool in Daggerfall. Bring that back in 3d. All you have to do is part the face model's mouth and add some fangs and jack up the eye lighting. Not too hard programmers. And the less blood you drink, the MORE powerful you get? Doesn't compute.
Tits - oh, I already said that one.
