What I Want in Elder Scrolls 5

I love Oblivion, but there are a lot of things missing in the game that would make it great. I know we wont see The Elder Scrolls 5 to probably next generation of late this generation, but I'm going to point out what I want to see in The Elder Scrolls 5:

- Be able to have a family, like getting married and have children
- Be able to adventure out co-op to caves and forts with friends over Xbox Live or PSN
- Be able to mine ores and make your own weapons and armor using the ores
- Be able to chop down tree and get wood
- Be able to have more then 1 follower at once

What are your ideas?

One word.... online play. ehh 2 words.

The family would be different, id think it would be boring, but thats the fun of Elder, all the options.

I like the ore idea, but i like the enchanted weapons and spell creation from 4.

Riding more than horses would be fun, perhaps dragons.

A better more involved arena and gladiator type fighting would be great.

Otherwise it should not be hard to create a great next chapter.

uhh face expresions lol

when you give a hobo a coin thell acually go to a the food mart and try to buy food

you can get certain ingredients to color your armor

cooking. this would be fun but would add on anoher skill level

making your guy hover or even fly

bet on,have chariot races

more monsters that you can fight in arena such as tigers,bears and if its a human have him be like this huge jacked guy

special moves that go in to like a clip that shows u doing it in 3rd person

I want better combat, much more depth-in all ways, better optimization, and no online. If you want to play a mmo go play one :|flclempire

actually if you have the PC version there are mods where you can have a rideable sheep (really funny mod) a dragon, and a rideable clannfear.

"when you give a hobo a coin thell acually go to a the food mart and try to buy food"

I've given a select few hobos so much money that they went to "divine elegance" and bought some "elegant" clothes, so I decided to pickpocket him (I wasn't in the Thieves guild at the time anyway, and it's not like the guy was poor anymore.) and he had skooma on him!!!

what I like about ES:4 is that there are so many mods out there if you want something changed, you can find it.

anyway: I'd like to be able to give my characters Facial Hair! There are so many "hair mods" (like the famous "rens hair" mod) but the only beard mods make all of the characters look like Gimli from LOTR.

I'd like more quests that don't involve "oh, I lost a family heirloom, can you go into some dungeon tha looks like every other dungeon in the game and get it for me? I'll mark the location on your map." *Cave is on the other side of the map*

A better jail system, like if you commit a few murders, and get put in jail for more than a year, you'll come back out, and everything is exactly the same, the people you had quests for didn't even go "wow, finally out of the joint eh?" or "where in oblivion have you been?"

A way where the choices you have to make don't affect what rewards you get, but instead affect the whole entire storyline, for more replay value.

it would be so cool if everything was interactive like in Assassin's Creed, and like, depending on your acrobatics skill, you can perform different types of moves. (when you hit journeyman in ES:4 you could do some cool dodging moves though, but that's it.)

the rest of the stuff that I hated now have mods out fixing them, so I'll stop there.

Dude you just described Runescape, that painstakingly mediocre free online MMORPG, those are awful ideas because they've been to death and would probably vomit if they turned the next Elder Scrolls into Runescape.

Here are my ideas:

Shivering Isles shows the potential of the series, the area is simply stunning, and most of the places are not only distinct but have their own backstory...I really hope that future Elder Scrolls continue with this trend even if it means sacrificing size. That is the only improvement I need, along with with the expansion that we've come to expect out of an Elder Scrolls sequel, but remember expansion doesn't necessarily mean bigger scope or size.

NO ENEMY LEVEL SCALING! that was what made oblivion a pain to play at higher levels. in oblivion, instead of feeling more powerful the more you played, you felt equally or less powerful because the enemies were leveling right up with you. Though endgame is also easy, it provides absolutely NO satisfaction in having gained the levels you have; there is no long term reward in the game, and all of this is because of stupid level scalingCrucifier

No you're entirely wrong, if you made your player right, by the time you reach level 30 your character should be virtually unstoppable...well that is if he is a heavy armor close range fighter. Oblivion had issues in the balance department as my heavy armored Orc would absolutely destroy my magic wielding Breton,as would many of the enemies. However, if you acquired the awesome items you should have acquired by level 30, then you should have no problem with any ememy that Oblivion threw your way, so your problem shouldn't really be with level scaling, but with how you made your character.

I want the best of Oblivion and Morrowind.

Things I want fixed from Oblivion:

-No level scaling
-No auto-fast-travel (at least make it cost money like in Morrowind)
-More of a sense of progression when traveling new places
-More variety in the environment
-No map markers during quests

Things I want fixed in Morrowind:

-Map markers of where you got a quest
-More customization

I have to finish my Morrowind complaints later, since I haven't gotten as far in Morrowind as I have in Oblivion...

Bethesda creates absolutely beautiful worlds - truly inspired. I agree with a lot of the sentiment here, that what they need to work on is the way progression through the game happens. Obviously a big thing, which a lot of people mention, is that the environment scaling system in Oblivion didn't work. Morrowind's system was probably actually better as far as motivating progression ("I want to get powerful so I can go explore places I couldn't go before" works better than what they did in Oblivion.) I think they also need to make sure it's not so easy for you to totally screw up the game for yourself by clicking on the wrong thing and then have the whole game go haywire now that you're a "thief" etc. It's such an odd series because the games are so brilliant yet so flawed. It's hard to know what to make of them.

Level scaling is the biggest thing I want changed in a sequel, I hate how all the things level up as you do. Makes you feel like you've done nothing all that time when crap in the start areas can take the same hits as when you started the game.
