- Being able to perfectly re-place an item you accidentally pick up or knock over... or, just to rearrange things in a room (I'm female - these things matter to me.)
- Being able to display the Bugs-In-A-Jar (or any other little trinket) on a shelf.
- Automatically/easily changing into "regular" clothes when you go home, instead of staying in full battle gear all the time. (Adds to weight if you carry it with you; having to go collect it from a hoarded collection is time-consuming.)
- Where are the outhouses? Regular use of an outhouse could be tied in to optimal health levels. (Oh, yeah, that'll be great if your character has to pee in the middle of a dungeon! LOL)

Having to pee would be pretty sweet... I'd wizz on so many corpses... But that sounds like something that would be left to the modders... And sadly I use 360.

I have to say that the idea of my character straining to release his bowels over top of a latrine or bucket to be quite... un-savory...both in theory, and thought... *shivers*

Warmer clothes.
NPCs who can work out who stole their possessions. If they see me go into their house alone, and when I come out their possessions have disappeared, they should have an inkling who took them.

Cheating? Seriously OP?

But - some suggestions I think are way off scope, I mean it's an RPG not Second Life or The Sims.
However that said, given that mods exist for eating and drinking, I would absolutely snap up an addition that dealt with the other end, seems reasonable to me.
I in Oblivion I think it was there was a mod for your appearance that allowed NPCs to respond to you differently depending upon what you were wearing, how grubby you, there may even be something like for Skyrim?
Bodies that rot would be cool, but obviously you couldn't do that for every one coz of the processing but a few token ones maybe, and yeah - I actually agree with Ingenue for once - (lol) - some kind of awareness on the part of NPCs re stealing and that kind of thing. (There may even be a mod for that)...!

Admittedly a lot of these things, including others like enhanced combat, sneaking, character reactions to thievery and violence and so on are brought in by mods, I appreciate that that doesn't help vanilla players but equally you can't reasonably expect them to all be in the game from the off because:
a. They can take up quite a lot of processing so low-end systems wouldn't necessarily play nice
b. One man's meat is another man's poison - just because Niamh has to eat and drink and sleep doesn't mean everyone wants to do that.
c. The answer would be to make it toggle-able but it would be easier to make the game "satisfactory" first, then maybe release things like this as enhancements that people can choose, like mods, only official DLC extensions - to "optimise" later. But again it's a question of resources and balancing cost against need/want.
Mind you, horse combat is in, along with some other stuff, so who knows? Also, there's a lot of stuff in Skyrim that was available unofficially in Oblivion so...

IMHO - as always.

Other race children would be nice, I was someone happy when I heard kids were gonna be in the game because I thought I'd see kid versions of the other races. Turns out I was wrong and only humans apparently have children.

Other than that just a harcore mode could be fun. Aatually have a purpose for all this food.

Drunk - If I drink a lot of mead I want my character to stumble about.

I would love to sleep to gain combat skills, or more than just skills improve 10% faster.
I decided to write in blue, deal with it.

Fried potatoes.

Seriously, they have potatoes, they have cast iron cookware, they have fire, and I find it hard to believe they do not have some type of oil or fat for cooking. There is no way a culture with all of those things does not immediately invent fried taters at the first opportunity. :P

Yes! I'm semi-obsessed with bugs-in-jars, but placing them upright on a table in your house is harder than killing Krosis at level 3.

Other race children would be nice

Or just any child that doesn't creepily share the same face. They're all clearly abominations.

As for what I would add, as mentioned above...hardcoe mode. Give all that food a reason to exist.

Your post is bad. And you should feel bad. I am concerned for Bethesda when their core demographic includes people who think hoes would make a good addition to their franchise.

Personally I don't want gimmicks. I want the skill system replaced with a less simple one that does not just have a hundred perks that give +1 or just adds useless stats etc and well written quest lines to be added.

They do have fat. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:SR-ingredient-Troll_Fat.jpg It's better than Crisco.

I also use 360. That being said, remember the old Duke Nukem (pc) game? He'd go into a bathroom stall and the sound byte would be someone taking a leak, but the Duke would just sigh, "Ahhhhhhh!" They tied it in as a health perk.


Oh, and while I'm at it - the humor wasn't lost on me when I was collecting vegetables here in Skyrim, and it said, "Take leek." Very funny. Humorous.
