Gameplay, graphics, diolog, you name it. What do you want to see Improved in Skyrim compared to Oblivion.

In a combat sense I want enemies to be more aware. As a thief / Assassin in Oblivion I found that I could basicly walk past an enemy without them noticing, I want more of a challenge when it comes to sneaking around, it appeared like just because I was crouching down I could ever so stealthily talk past someone.

Interaction with AIs needs to be better in towns, and It seems that Bathesda has done a lot in this aspect, but I still want to be impressed by it. In oblivion characters were oblivious to everything other than the Guards always knowing where you were and what you were doing.

As it looked at E3, the Graphics and Landscape has improved like no other. I love the different zones of land, from snow, to desert things seem to have more of a reality feature. Snow as you travel up the mountains, etc etc :P

I pray that the outside world is better prepared for you. I got tired of running around like a god with the occasional Bear and Wolf attacking me and easily dieing in one hit.

So what do you think? I have no doubt Skyrim will be a must play, but what do you want to see improved in retrospect to Oblivon??

The menus need to be improve. It's hard to select an item when you have to scroll up and down to search for it.

Needs more voice actors for the NPC's.

taken care of by mods in oblivion. I would like for them to just go back to morrowind gameplay, but with voice acting.

-Hand-placed dungeons/wilderness rather than randomly generated -Less enemy/loot scaling -A leveling system that is not inherently broken -Engaging yet unobtrusive narrative -I want to be the main character this time (which has totally been rectified I'd say, looking at the whole "dragonborn" thing :P)

Firstly, this is the Xbox 360 board. So would people stop saying "mods fix it" or "get it on PC." We're obviously getting on 360 that's why we're here talking about it. I just want more voice actors. That was the only problem I had with Oblivion.

Actual Radiant AI. millerlight89
This. Oh god this. I have yet to play an RPG game where the world feels alive. The Radiant AI system in oblivion was damn near a joke. STALKER's AI (A-Life) System felt a lot more livelier than oblivion's.
-Less enemy/loot scaling -A leveling system that is not inherently broken -Engaging yet unobtrusive narrative jedinat
These, I was dumbfounded how much Oblivion held the player's hand. Worried that they might lose interest if the game got too hard. It's expected since they are appealing to the masses, but I absolutely hate it.. Again, I don't expect Skyrim to address the UI, Radiant AI problem, or level scaling problem. I'll have to rely on mods as I had to do in the past. It's a damn shame, that's for sure.

The rpg elements (but yeah we know that wont happen), AI (they said the same thing in Oblivion they even used the same promotion text), Story & World (it went from a unique world with lots of cultures and cities and buildings to a generic fantasy world and the story is just meh in oblivion) A good ui for PC oh wait :(

Think they said tons of fishing in the game..Cooking also makes your meals better..The graphics alone in just the meat your cooking is unreal..Im just hopeful it wont be a horrible scaling system like in oblivion..

What they should do is a morrowind update graphically, with update graphics an skyrimm sword an block shield thing..Kind of what there doing for halo franchise remake..

Well they were a HUGE improvement over Morrowind. Looking at the videos it seems Skyrim will continue the trend (i.e. huge improvement).

You should play Borderlands, Titan Quest or Torchlight, just to see what "worst story" looks like.

In all fairness, from all the footage I've seen, I'm ecstatic about everything apart from the visuals. Don't get me wrong Skyrim is looking glorious, but the graphics are not what I expected. I remember Oblivion being somewhat of a technical marvel when it was released. Skyrim looks a bit... underwhelming. BUT I'm not going to be playing Skyrim for suped up graphics, that gameplay demo sold me straight away, I'm officially hyped for this game!

^This The main story arc was only 8 hours long. If they double that then I would pick it up, but I was bored with Oblivion after about 6 hours knowing all I had left was open-world. It wasn't as bad as Fallout 3, but not good all the same. I am hopeful Skyrim will improve the main story arc.

Not counting the things they've improved upon already - the combat: It still looks like the barren hit-block-hit-run back-hit-block system in Oblivion, BUT the video I saw the guy/girl playing never blocked at all for some reason so, it might end up feeling a lot better than I think. Actually I suppose it looks more bloody and brutal overall and spells appear to be a lot more interesting and a lot more powerful than the crap they called a fireball in Oblivion.

There is plenty that can be improved. But most notably for me are more variation in voice actors and making side quests more rewarding.

  • Much, MUCH more voice actors
  • An actual decent story
  • Better combat
  • Better stealth
  • No level scaling
  • Better menus
  • Much more kind of armor and weapons, more like Morrowind
  • Diverse landscape, not the same terrain over and over
  • Better dungeons
  • Side quests that give you good rewards
  • WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better 3rd person animations, and just animation in general
  • Better graphics, the faces in Oblivion were hidious
  • Less glitches on release than other Bethesda games
  • Consequences, if you join one guild, another one might be locked from you, or if you make a decision in the story or a quest, you can't do both paths, stuff like that

I'm just purely listing what I would like to see improved in Skyrim without looking at the actual changes that we saw or heard about already.

  • Improved animations, especially when playing from a 3rd person view.
  • Improved graphics, especially on the character models and gear.
  • Stats on gear and items (Aside from the armor value, weapon dps and the occasional enchant)
  • A deeper combat system and just overall gameplay improvements.
  • Heavier weighing consequences to your actions made throughout the game.
  • Better AI and more random NPC encounters / respawning NPC's in dungeons and the outside world etc.
  • Revamp of the leveling system and change how the current skill system works. Example: In Oblivion a minor skill
    could be just as powerful as when it was chosen as a major skill, so maybe give the major skills a significant boost
    in effectiveness to make each C lass feel more unique.

There's probably a lot more that I didn't think of now, I may add some of that later.

I really enjoyed oblivion so I guess only better graphics and a better game engine and from the looks of it they have already done that.

Spears. :D
They need to include 2 modes:

1) The "hold-your-hand" quest marker mode complete with scaled levelling and blah blah all that Oblivion stuff.

2) The more RPG-like mode where if you went into a cave filled with dragons at level 3, you died. And grid-based inventories. Sort of like a "hardcore" mode.

And Spears.

I hope that the magic spells are more powerful.. The magic meter could recharge a bit faster than in Oblivion as well...

General combat needs to be improved, blocking, damage for each hit and the ability to pull multiple enemies to deal more One on One. Argonian and Khajiit character models is similar to Morrowind.
