how people react to you


Why do we need 120 hand crafted dungeons when people will still call me a nobody when im the head of every organization in the entire country

Why do guards know im a sneak thief by just looking at me?

Why do thief guild members still yell at me when im the leader?

The inconsistency in conversation is frustrating and distracts from a good game




What would you change?

When I click to go to sleep in a bed and choose the amount of time and instead of like Oblivion seeing an animation of your character getting into bed and curling up and going to sleep the screen jsut goes black you watch the timer click down the picture comes back and there you are standing beside the bed as if no time as passed and any npc's that were around at the time of going to sleep are still standing in the exact same place in the exact same middle of a conversation. It really really ruins immersion for me, its trivial I know but it bugs me bigstyle.

the change I'd like to see is adding an are you sure you this is what race/look you want check at the end of Intro..like there was in Oblivion...so I can start a new character on the fly... Bethesda, add mine it's easier.

i would give hand to hand a perk tree

I would add a retirement questline to the game, after all of the MQ was completed you could get quests like, go fishing and drinking mead for an afternoon. Fall asleep while having a conversation. Argue with your wife. Get a crappy job as riverwood trader after retirement investment goes to poo.

I would change how the shadows are rendered. I've seen older games that had better shadows than this 2011 release.

A close second would be adding better relationship development in the marriage system. I would have rather had fewer NPC choices, but with greater character and personality over the shallow system that's currently in place.

Pretty much this one. Completely kills the immersion. They have literally no respect for you even as the guildmaster.

I would change the "no offline validation", I want to buy this game for my brother in law but he doesn't have a land line. Therefore no internet. Therefore there is no legal way of him playing. I know we could bring his computer to my house and validate but why should that be necessary?

SOrry the Riverwood Trader is only looking for young talent with moldable perk trees.

That's age discrimination sonny, and get off my lawn.

I would allow NPC's to use racial powers.

Putting things on which can only lead to disapointment...
Believe it or not i didn't join the bards college so I can go and find a flute for someone! Maybe let you actually play the instruments?!?
And why have wandering vigilants of stendarr proclaiming for you to go to the headquarters to get there and find no one will let you join!
Don't get me wrong I love the game but I did these two things in a row and it was a little frustrating.
Also I agree with the how people talk to you, they should react by what you've done e.g. "your the guy who drove those bandits off" not "oh your good at lockpicking (how they would know that I have no idea) therefore I'm gonna threaten you even if your the thane".

Spears, if I could only choose one.

This. I never make complain threads and usually defends Bethesda when some obvious trolls make unfair complains and down right crazy demands.

But continued to be dissed by EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. in the thieves guild every time i walk in, despite been the guild master, was the last draw. I have never met a more ungrateful bunch of feces eaters and that was the one and only time i have ever made a rant topic.

I wish some of the followers had more interaction/dialogue/backstory. For some people Lydia is the most important NPC in the game, and she has 5 lines of dialogue, and absolutely no back story or personality. It would be nice to have some kind of emotional attachment to the NPCs you spend the most time with.

Increase the amount of hold settlements by 3 and population in major cities by 30.
