Like in daggerfall.

I'll agree with that. That said, I'd like to see followers not so thoroughly stymied by terrain in mountains.

Ya, there were so many epic things in daggerfall that shouldve been kept, like the fast travel menu, recklessly, by boat, camp, at inns, you know?

One of the best things be taken out since Daggerfall is owning a ship and cart, closely followed by the Language skills.

Ya, It would be epic sailing the sea of ghosts in my very own ship.

Definately I hate hopping and jumping around cliff tops like a demented goat, why cant i just climb.

Climbing and general vertical movement, like hanging from an edge, would've spiced up some of the stealth missions. Not that I'm really complaining though.

But then they would have to bring something like levitation back too; and consoles die from that.

they sure as heck need SOMETHING to stop the spiderman syndrome of players being able to hop and run up virtually anything. maybe daggerfall didnt do it in the best way, but you cant just drop the concept entirely then leave the whole game world open to horrible exploitation of the physics engine. some consideration needs to be paid to the fact that most people that have been incarcerated in medieval prisons for some length of time with no outstanding skills or abilities at the time of release cannot scale 80 degree inclines by stubbornly hopping around like a hyperactive flea.

they really need to take "go anywhere, do anything" far less literally. my interpretation of that mantra is that the game isnt going to grab your wrist like an overprotective mother whenever you try to do something it doesnt like, not "use the jump button to reach every possible surface in the overworld regardless of physical plausibility".

YYYEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally some one has addressed this issue add a damn grappling hook atleast

Yes! then it could be used to absail back down rather than leaping to ones death.

Until a bandit cuts the rope

haha yeah! that would be too funny

Yeah, it frustrates me to hell when a dragon keeps landing on the roofs of a town. I'm a melee player so all I can do is stand there and stare at it sitting up there. If I could climb onto the roof, problem solved.
