Add a few different x2,x3,x4 Jumping height perks under maybe a Vampire Perk tree?
Why in vampire? I hate vampires but I'd like regular Acrobatics perk tree for all my characters.

Exactly this. Not everybody wants to be a vampire, and since there no really appropriate skill to place it under is why I suggested placing it under the sneak skill. Honestly, I'd still much rather have the skill back, but in a re-vamped form so people don't complain that it's comic book hero type stuff.

They could also add it as a multi capped x2,x3,x4 jumping height enchantment. I think thatwould be the easiest way.

While I do agree the jumping height ought to be higher, I disagree with the fact that Acrobatics should return.

I think instead the jumping height simply needs an increase, nothing more - nothing less.

why would you be against adding more customization and options and depth to a character build when it can be optional?

i don't understand your mentality.

I decided that I drop in a thought here. I didn't read very far into the thread about page 5. But the argument I see that comes up time and time again is realism versus unrealistic. However, what is to say jumping high is not realistic? We see people who perform parkour jump higher than the average human and perform feats that no mere average human can do. Humans are completely capable of doing things in the realms of what we call unrealistic. There are exceptions, like flying we do not have wings and therefore we cannot fly. However, at the same time there are humans out there that can do what we say is unrealistic. I would have perfered more acrobactics in this game. Climbing mountains is a nightmare without a proper jump feature. And I hate having to go around. A hill or mountain should have multiple entrways of being able to be climbed.

Proof that the thesis of human satisfaction being unobtainable is true.

I remember in Oblivion that people were complaining about how the acrobatic skill was unrealistic and that jumping like you're on the moon is unrealistic...which it is. Oh and not to mention that you level up by jumping. FYI: No matter how good at parkour or acrobatics you are, you can't jump that high just by jumping. You have to have some kind of momentum and extra force.

Even if you can, it doesn't add anything to gameplay other than stupidity. You can bypass massive sections of dungeons that are FUN. You can use acrobatics and take short cuts that don't matter anyways because of the sprinting function in Skyrim.

Oh and remember how Skyrim doesn't discriminate between major and minor skills. You level up no matter what skill you level. Just jump for three hours and bam, you've level 100ed an entire skill, got a bunch of perks, and leveled up.

satisfaction in skyrim can be made much more obtainable with OPTIONAL choices.

realism in video games is an unworthy debate.

your opinions against acrobatics: optional.

skyrim game mechanics: much room for improvement.

I would kill to get some of http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Boots_of_Springheel_Jak_%28item%29 in Skyrim. Hmmm, now there's a thought I hadn't considered before.
