Ok I just watched the Skyrim reveal trailer and I have one question... what's with the fucking pirates of the carribean music? Oblivion had that pirates of the carribean-esque theme and I heard the same riff at the end of the skyrim trailer. I can't stand that theme; it just sounds so generic. Not to fawn on morrowind again, but it had such an epic yet peaceful theme with beautiful crescendos and decrescendos... God I love that theme. That quality was sorely lacking with oblivion's and now apparently skyrim's.

This is assuming that they will allow you to buy a house in every major city like in Oblivion, but it would be kinda nice to have someone else to populate those houses while you are out saving the world and stuff.
Maybe a maid, butler, wife/husband, Etc.

I'm easy to please. I just want a world with the vastness and open-endedness of Morrowind with the real time combat of Oblivion. Keep those basic principles and just keep making things better and I'm all good.
And for goodness sakes no auto leveling the freaking enemies. I want enemies that force me to flee that I can come back and kick their asses later just because I've gotten that much stronger. Some enemies should get stronger as I do, but not every last one of them. That gets boring and unless you powergame you never feel like you're making progress.

They only have different arrangements - and Morrowind's sounds just as much like Hans Zimmer than the epic choir in the Skyrim trailer.
A more dynamic world, more spectacle (as in not just pretty landscapes, I want stunning, amazing ones), better facial animations, better combat (where they respond to being hit, less random thrashing), more likable characters
fix the clunky combat system. I don't want to just spam spells all the time, I want the melee combat to be worthwile
1) More than 2.5 voice actors. Look Bethesda, if cost is an issue, have some contest where the winner(s) get to voice a handful of peasants. Nobody is going to care if some lowly peasant sounds awkward...
2) A new engine! The bloody thing has been around since Morrowind. It has served its purpose, now let's move on, please.
3) Better magic effects. A 100 area, 100 damage for 100 seconds (ok, maybe I cheat sometimes) doomsday thing looks just like the first fireball spell you learn. Fix that.
4) No more bandits in deadric armor. In fact, let's have no more leveling enemies. If I want to take my frustrations out on the goblins who kicked my ass in the first hour of gameplay as a level 734 billion character, kindly let me!
5) An actual main quest. Look at Morrowind, that's how you do it.
6) No disconnects between story and gameplay. If deadra are powerful, than your sorry level 2 ass had better die when the big baddies come.
7) More interesting quests. Look at the Dark Brotherhood quest line. That's the level of quality and originality the entire game should have.
8) Make up your mind: either have fast travel from everywhere (including dungeons and indoors) to anywhere and exclude mounts, or have mounts but no fast travel.
9) Speaking of which, make dungeons less boring.

I couldn't agree more with all of these points, particularly the fantasy and guilds. Playing Morrowind, I felt part of a whole different world. The myths and religions of the world felt so immersive and interesting. Oblivion lacked that, with a bland rpg that might as well have been set in europe. To Oblivion's credit, I felt more motivated to explore, with a good sprinkling of ruins and random farms and such that made exploring interesting, but the fast travel kind of took the fun out of the sense of awe you felt when entering the world.Wayneguard said:
Okay sorry, I've rambled too much...
theres nothing broken with the leveling system, in fact i think the current leveling system has been a part of what makes TES games unique. your method would stop rewarding the player for leveling efficiently. and youve overlooked the fact that at later levels the game actually gets harder for players playing on normal-hard difficulty. and besides its not as if the grinding was abusing the system, its a way to players to actually be slightly more balanced towards the later stages of the game.Souplex said:

read the section on "problems with leveling"
TL;DR? basically yes the leveling is broken but not in the way you described it.
Edit
h yeah, i probably should have mentioned i like your idea about the silver and deadric gloves,perhaps this could be expanded to silver armour and already avaliable deadric armour to give you an immunity or an advantage over ghosts and wraiths?and i agree on you with the more otions for ranged players.
but i dont think co op would be a good idea.... i perfer RPG's to be immersive and i just cant get immersed into somthing that im play with other people.
Morrowind's theme is slow and peaceful and then builds into an epic roar. Oblivon's and Skyrim's themes start off with, what to me seems, a generic mid-tempo fantasy battle song. Morrowind's theme, at least at the start, sounded like it could be played by a traveling bard. Oblivion's and Skyrim's seem to start with all guns blazing... just like lotr and every other fantasy game out there.CleverNickname said:... they're all the same themeWayneguard said:

mods...
what? Someone had to say it! Lets face it, if Bethesda has taught us one thing its that developers stick to what they do best. They even put in a data files option to make overwriting their work easier!
If its another Oblivion but with 10% more wolf and 12% more back and forwarding:
I totally called it.

Make the combat better. I'm sick of mashing right trigger to kill a skeleton.
Improve the look of the game. Shivering Isles was a stellar example of this. Cyrodiil was just terrible. It was better than Morrowind, sure, but it needs some variety.
