What do you want in Skyrim?

[TilMorrow]

There already was a big thread on it a while back but CO-OP. I want CO-OP in Skyrim. I was forever lost in Oblivion and not in the immersive way... Having a friend playing alongside would have made the game much more fun and easier to understand.

That's not going to happen. They've said that you play "the last dragon-born" in the game (original I know). You wouldn't be the last if there were two of you. =S

Well there doesn't have to be two 'last dragon-born's for CO-OP to work. The main player is the dragon-born and the person who s/he is CO-OPing with is either an adventurer from a far away land (blah) or a mercenary who has nothing better to do. Infact why not have companions you pick up in the game have the option to be played by another player? That gets past the having to level up the character and could work.

I would love to see a "hardcore mode" like they implemented in Fallout: New Vegas. It made that game far more interesting and challenging.

A magic system with more depth would be appreciated as well.

So the last dragon born was a set of twine.... one nord and one wood elf... damn dragons are freaky

It would only be a shallow co-op mode though. It would be based on the other player "dropping in", and I doubt they'd have much motivation to continue without the fun of levelling the character and setting armour, weapons etc. If you continued to play the game with a bot, their character could change a lot. Character development is the whole point of the game, I don't think anyone would play as a sidekick when they can play the dragonborn.

Not everyone has friends who are interested in TES and have time available for running through a co-op campaign. So a mode where you can drop in and out of someone's campaign and take over a companion would be very handy.
