My 2 gold coin pieces

First of all kudos to The Elder Scrolls team for another epic game. Love the scenery, the snow and the mountainous terrain. All in all it has been a major improvement over Oblivion..though maybe not Morrowind level in my opinion. I am very excited on how this game can be better after a few updates, expansions and mods. Sick of people moaning about the bugs, I haven't encountered any game breaking bugs so far and I know there will be patches soon to remedy them. Anyway what I wanted to share was a few things thats to me would make Skyrim extra special.

[indent]Companions- I love that there are companions in game and there are a diverse selection of them, its just them seem a bit shallow compared to maybe the Fallout companions. I maybe would prefer a smaller number of companions with more depth and character. That doesn't mean I didn't have fun with the current companions. My fondest one was (someone) the Unbroken, a masculine lady in steel armor that I had to challenge to fisticuffs before she followed me. I nicknamed her Brienne (ASOIAF), and she met an unfortunate end in one of my spelunking adventures. Rather reloading a previous save I decided it was her time and to preserve her memory I would keep her armor set that was way better than my rags.

Horses- Its not horse itself its that my companion or anyone that follows me during a quest has to walk while I, the high king of the saddle, rides onwards while my lowly subjects trudge on on-foot.

Dragons- Its effin dragons! When I first saw them I was considering upping my life insurance but after deboning my 12th dragon and encumbered by their bones and scales, I feel that they are abit too easy. I just wish they would be more challenging. It is abit anti-climatic when the town guards and my companion deal most of the damage and I just wait to magically fillet the corpse.

hardcoe Mode- I'm realism fan or a difficulty masochist to some people. I see great potential for it. There are food, water, beds. No fast travel. A more realistic falling damage. This could be fan mod but Im just saying.

Real economy- As in that you could get a job as a blacksmith or collect wood or herbs, where you get an order to make an item or a quota with a set time limit and gold reward that is more than the street value of said item. Or even a caravan guard as I have no qualms in walking or riding distances in Skryim since I do enjoy the scenery.

Expansion- I do hope they would follow their expansion format on Morrowind (2 big excellent expansions) rather than Oblivion (several small dlc and one big expansion).[/indent]

Thats all I can think of at the moment. Once more these are just my opinions I haven't finished the main quest yet because I'm taking my sweet time. I just want to share my thoughts and listen to any feedback. That is all. Wheres my skooma gone?
