Another vote for Giant Mudcrab here. More missions for the Blades and Nightingales would be good too.

Divorce would be cool too.

i haven't done any of the marriage stuff - can you do a drew peterson-style divorce?

Yes, but you won't be able to re-marry. In the first game I started Ysolda's coffin is in the Whiterun Hall of The Dead. She told me she wanted me to eat her, so I went wolf on her. Not sure if that was what she meant.

/Talking mudcrab merchant would be cool too.

Did they come up with randomly falling through the floor? Oh, wait, that's in the game already.

This explains a LOT about their developmental culture. So THAT'S where all the bugs come from.

What, no Macho Man?

scottydoesntknow: Wow...so many missed opportunities. I love the game so very much, but damn seeing what they could do in just a week is crazy.

What I really want:

Dragon Mounts
Arrow crafting/tweaking (love the fire/ice arrows)
Spears
New Mounts
Kinect Shouts (I want my neighbors to hear "FUS RO DAH" for hours on end)
Custom home building
Werewolf perk tree
GIANT HUMONGOUS MUD CRABS!!

Now that the crafting tools are out, it's going to be very quick for these changes to be put in. The 'harder' things to make will be ones with animations and wireframes, since that takes a specific suite of skills/software to put together usually. The rest is just scripting and originality.

I have been farking around with the tools (with no prior experience whatsoever) and craftable arrows are the first thing I put in. When I get home (2 hours or so?) I'll throw up a few basic things that I've discovered as I went along. The arrow crafting in particular is ridiculously easy. The paralysis rune in the video would also be relatively easy...I'll try that out as well.

Well, according to some feces-throwing monkey in another thread, everything that the mod community comes up with will be infinitely better than anything in this video. Cause you know, the most talented people don't even have jobs in their chosen field.

Game fails without bear cavalry.

The mod community has already done most of that, and a ton more, AND they did it better. AND they're still going. Your Dev Team's time would have been better spent fixing the plethora of bugs in your game.

Mounted combat.

/tired of hopping off the horse just to kill a wolf that was stupid enough to attack a high level destruction master. I should be able to just fling a fireball while sitting in my comfy saddle.

Eh, it's kind of like Minecraft. The community has the weight of thousands behind it working on modding. It's not that Bethesda is not good at modding their own game - they're the best at it - it's that they simply don't have the manpower to make jiggling boob mods and anime faces mods and TOO MANY OSTRICHES mods. One hundred times the manpower, wasting 95% of their time, is still more net work.

Klippoklondike: My favorites were:

Spears
Goblins
Skeleton Butler
GIGANTIC CRAB BATTLE

Big ups to both of you for acknowledging the awesomeness that are spears! I've missed them dearly since Morrowind. For mostly aesthetic reasons, but also because to me they symbolize the diminishing breadth in options provided at in the series to make way for a more narrow yet balanced set of skills. In fact in an early interview about the game in late 2010, Todd Howard specifically mentioned spears as something that fans complain about not having but that he would gladly give up if it meant a more balanced game system. It's silly that I still remember this but at the time I kind of took it as a punch in the gut.

I want all of that and muskets.

Yea, but then everyone will see you on the news and realize they don't wanna marry a guy that chooses to handle his divorce with a 2-handed broadsword.

The gods gave you two hands, and you use both of them to strangle your spouse. I can respect that.

The amazing thing to me is, now matter how stupid I think a mod is, the download counter for it will inevitably have over 10 hits.

"Added mole to Lydia's left ankle" = 12 downloads
"Increased merchant gold by 10 a day" = 25 downloads
"Brightened wagon wheel textures on caravans" = 547 downloads

I think they had issues with the shrinking of skills. In Daggerfall, there was no real attempt to balance between combat, magic, and stealth like in Morrowind. Then when they removed some skills (medium armor and typed weapon skills disappeared in Oblivion) they had to remove others to preserve the balance. Skyrim reduced down to 6 skills per 'focus', and tried to pick up some of that variety from the talent trees, but that ran into problems: spears could easily fall into the 2h'er tree, but how would one make a specialization for them? Why spend the resources creating combat animations for a single type of weapon? How do you deal with the loot imbalance of having 4 types of 2h'er and only 3 types of 1h'er?

They erred on the side of user friendliness and simplicity. I can't really blame them, but they've always been very mod-friendly so it's more excusable IMO.

There was nothing there that I didn't like.

I really look forward to playing Skyrim one day. Maybe when the "Game of the Year" edition comes out at half of the current retail price. Until then I'm not laying out sixty bucks for any game, ever.
