Hey people let's do a fast survey:

1. What is the ONE thing Bethesda added in Skyrim, that wasn't in the previous TES, that you appreciate the most?

2. What is the ONE thing from the previous TES games that you loved and would have kept for Skyrim if you had the opportunity?

Please don't post wall'o'texts or enumerate all your favorite features so we could keep this simple to read and see a trend, if there is one. Just take your time to think and decide one, the most relevant to you, in each category. Thank you.

I'll start:

1. Dialogue in real time

2. Attributes

1. 3d inventory!
2. Spellmaking!

Tough to pick just one, but what the hell:
1 Regional bounty
2 Acrobatics skill

1. The perk trees
2. The attributes

The whole combat system in Skyrim is massively better. Being able to use both hands is amazing.
I also like the way your health replenishes by itself if not being hit.

The thing I miss is pole arms and throwing weapons.

Killcam.

I don't miss anything really, other than perhaps spell smithing...that said though, in Oblivion I ended up with hundreds of spells that I couldn't un-make.

1. I like not having to worry about whether I've raised the right skills before levelling.
2. Questlines with good stories for good characters.

1. dynamic shadows
2. quick cast

1.the technical improvements, visuals, animations, lighting etc...
2.depth in regards to story and character development between the player character and the world. Acrobatics... it was fun jumping for couple dozen feet, bounce off water and smack a bandit in the face.

1. The province
2. The acrobatic playstyle with speed, agility and acrobatics

Two pros: Perk trees and hand detailed world.

Two cons: Non existent quest notes and non existent ultimate challenges.

pro: leveling system is alot better adds alot of replayability IMO

thing I want from other game: 4j studios porting it

1. The beautiful character models (esp Khajiit and Argonian)
2. A functional Quest Journal like Morrowind's

Pro: Dragons (more for how they work in game than it actually being dragons, I'd have been happy if they were giant cliff racers tbh)

Con: Variety of creatures and monsters (I loved having Minotaurs and Ogres and Imps and Daedra and Goblins Guar and Silt Striders and Netch etc etc, all that is missing and it makes me sad, Skyrim feels very limited in its creature variety).



Ok, this one is from my buddy who isn't registered here.


Pro: Little ambient stories. (Y'know, things like the burnt couple in the house with the note saying they're moving because of the dragon sightings, A run down shack with bones and a sabrecat in it-a clear suggestion that the cat got in there and killed/ate the owner). He says it makes the world feel more alive.

Cons: Good quests, long quest chains, interwoven guild stories, things like that.
