What do you want to see in a Addon Package

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 11:06 am

there's several simple ones that I can think of and some that are probably complex.... but here goes a short list of things I'd like to see happen...

1) Age - Why is it that we all look like that 'old age' look in oblivion? bring back age so we can get rid of all those god forsaken wrinkles from our eyes without having to have the light hit their faces a certain way.

2) Dye - Being able to dye clothing, This has been done with a lot of different RPG style games and add's a bit of uniqueness to the characters from everyone else. I loved having dye's the other RPG's i've played (both PC & Xbox), and I think it would be a good addition. Most clothing has a 2 color combination on Skyrim, some have a single color, so maybe allow us to dye 2 colors on the clothing / armor. I'm not sure how hard something like this would be to add but i'd love it.

3) Horse Armor - Come on really? Please? the horses are so darn weak its sad, I bought a horse and was riding along and out of no where came a sabertooth cat, 1 hit and my horse was dead.... 1000gp down the drain... poo... The horses are extremely weak, i've even seen one taken out by a lone wolf. These guys need some armor options!

4) Exotic Pets - and why not? we have dogs why not some exotic pets? Wolves for one would be cool, There's Pit wolves in the game that dont attack the npc's, so I doubt it would be too hard to make some of the animals into purchasable pets, imagine walking along with a wolf, fox, bear, spider or even a deer as a pet... I think it would be cool, more pets other then one mangy doggie please.

5) Exotic Steeds - Yes you heard me, you have several animals that would most likely work good for it in the game already, The Mamoth - extremely slow, but tough. The Sabertooth Cat - Fast and Agile, lower health, The Buck - Quicker then the Sabertooth but very weak. Different types of mounts would be great, along with different Colored mounts, give us some more color options on the mounts when we buy one. Everyone loves choices.

6) More of the NPC Clothing Available - There's many different suits of clothing that are just unattainable for players, but (proven by pc users) can be worn by the players character. Making more of these outfits available would be awesome. Like the dead wizard Druagr's armor, Nocturnals outfit, The Ancient Nord Armor (not what you can smith the stuff the Druagr's wear) the fine clothing outfits, and many of the others. Having more options for various armors and clothing would vastly improve the game, you already have the stuff there, you'd just have to add a few icons, and make the stuff lootable, as well as random insertion into stores for some of it.

7) Mini Quest Addons - Ok yes, I loved the mini quests that were added to Oblivion, like the 'Knights of Nine', it added a house for you, gave you a awesome little mission set to do, all without going to a entire new area on the map.

8) Armors - You know I really like the look of the nightengale armor, but I dont really like too many of the enchantments. It would be nice to be able to get a set of the armor without any enchantments, same with the thieves guild armor, and the a few other pieces that you can't get as 'normal' armor. I heard tale their is a suit of shrouded armor without enchantments, but all of it i've found has been enchanted. Which brings up the next item....

9) Remove Enchantments - We have a Learn Enchantment, but no Remove Enchantment, Ever run across a really nice sword that had a crappy enchantment? or accidentally enchant the wrong item? I think it would be nice to have a Remove Enchantment, make it cost something to do, where it removes the enchantment from the item but does not destroy or learn the enchantment.

10) More Huge Area's like Skyrim! :D wouldn't it be cool.... It would be cool to see the other regions made into addons for this game as well as the other regions being made into new games. I love expansion that lets me have more diversity with the character, it makes it so that each one can be even more unique. It would be cool to revisit area from previous games (i.e. oblivion) and see how the world has changed sense, if im not mistaken is thinking that this is a new area... Even being able to return to each of the races homelands.... Lots of posibilites open up when you add on new areas.

11) the hardest I think... A "Hall of Hero's" ... a online part to the game, allowing us to go in and chat with other players on our friends list, trade with eachother. Sort of a "lobby" area were we can join up with 1 or 2 of our friends and trade equipment.

12) New Game - Different Difficulty - something I like with some other RPG's is that they will let you start a new game with the same character at a higher difficulty. I've noticed most creatures and people level with you, so even starting a new game with the same character at a higher difficulty would make it a challenge still. When breaking out of helgen we could find our equipment in one of the chests in the guards room at the begining, being that either way you go (stormcloaks or guard) we can access that room.

13) Marrage / Divorce - Ok yeah we can Divorce, by killing our Husband Wife, but it would be nice if we could let them leave in peace rather then killing them, Make them so that they are less friendly to the player after they Divorce them. Marrage - More Choices!!! Come on, their are hardly any NPC's to marry... and even all the races can't marry their own race because there just isn't one that they can marry, there needs to be more options for Marrage.

14) Childern - How about Adoption... I kept going back to the orphanage to see if I could adopt a kid, but you can't, or even have a chance when you sleep at your house your spouse is in of having a child of your own. One thing that I found most amusing in the game was the little girl you take to markoth. I played the entire main quest with that little girl following me because everytime she'd come across a body "EEK a dead body!" made me laugh. More interaction with the Childern would be nice too. In fallout we could talk to the kids, even do quests for the kids, I thought that was a pretty awesome feature... as well as being able to reverse pickpocket them (it was really amusing dressing all the childern in power armor lol).

15) Spells - one thing I miss from Oblivion to Skyrim - being able to create your own spells ... it seems the people of Skyrim lack the ability to learn how to do this, as they don't have any means at their exposal to do so, the only way is reading books to learn new spells... wouldn't it be nice to be able to create spells like we could in oblivion? I think it would.

16) Houses - There are several houses through out this game that you end up totally clearing out of the people living in them, and they never populate with new people, but oddly if you take everything out, and come back later (29 days) the house has been restocked... go figure. Even the house that you get the deed for at Riften you dont have the option to live it. It would be cool if you could claim this house rather then the other there, or even the house from the thieves guild member you end up killing. There are a few other houses as well in the game that you do the same sort of things with, but can never buy / upgrade. It would be nice to see more choices for living areas then the very few that we currently have.

So thats my little list of stuff i'd like to see done... most of it could be added to any Addon Package that they put out (except #10, that would be several i'd think) as well as individual "mini packs" to add a bit of "flavor" to the game.

This is really the wrong section for this- "General Discussion" would be better. Any add-ons for the X-box will have to be through official DLC; Microsoft doesn't allow player made mods.
