I was thinking maybe they took some ideas straight from Harvest Flora and Harvest Containers from Oblivion... I mean, those mods seem kind of base, but still, it would be awesome if Bethesda did take those ideas straight from those mods. And I ran into another feature in Skyrim, that I forgot about, I was sure was taken directly from a mod in Oblivion.

Yes, they even said they were.

Harvest Flora/Containers, Really AEVWD, Animated Window Lighting System, All Natural (ish), More Powerful Archery and Crafting are what come to mind.

Ooh, they did? Pretty awesome that they appreciate the mods their fanbase has given them! Link for the confirmation? Not that I don't believe you, I just wanna read it word for word.

Seeing as they openly said that things like their Archery system was inspired by an Oblivion mod (In Game Informer I think), I'd say yes.

Here you go

Cheers.

I would think they'd have noticed what people were interested in. They've worked in other things people liked so why not?

They said they made archery the way it is in Skyrim for a Mod they saw for Oblivion, they also said they got the idea of no backward running from a mod too... and i dare to say they even took the idea of more animals from the more animals mods.

I like that they picked up the armor mannequin's from those oblivion mods like Reznod's Mannequins. I wish I could get more for my our houses in skyrim. They came with the enchanter table in Solitude house.
