For future a TES release, even more realism please?

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:26 am

If I had a dreamlist of things I wanted to see in a future TES game:
  • Slower day/night cycle out-of-the-box. Or an option to set it with a slider. (not via console)
  • Real hunger, you constantly need to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner or you take hefty penalties more often.
  • Simulated body weight, visually. You start out slender, and depending on your activities you gain muscle tone or even become fat. Example: At lvl 1 you pick up an axe and continually you get visually/physically stronger as the game progresses. Or you become a mage but you eat too much and you pick up weight and become rotund because you ride too much on horseback as well. Become a vampire, and you become gaunt and underweight?
  • Hair growth. When you pick an initial style it becomes longer and untrimmed over time. Barber shops are required to cut hair and even shave beards. Throw in a place to change your facial markings.
  • Simulated drunkenness. Posture changes depending on volume of intake, impaired judgement, stagger. If you drink too much you risk passing out.
  • Fishing. Nuff said.
  • Camping. Ability to set up camp, a tent, and make your own fire, set up cooking equipment, etc.
  • Wilderness housing. Perhaps the ability to buy a deed for a house style, and place it anywhere in the game world when it requires ample space/slope, etc.
  • More detailed options for decorations in your home. Also need better placement UI for items you bring back from your travels. As it's now you can't even put a goblet on a table without intense concentration.
  • More crafting options, things like arrows as an example. Spears, Halberds, Crossbows, etc.
  • More mounts, what if I wanted a mule, or donkey, ie. pack animals? What about an oxcart to transport the things you buy in town to take home.
  • A place to visually place your active main weapon on the saddle of your mount, hook up your helm to dangle on the side for when you're out of combat.
  • The ability to converse with NPCs while on horseback.
  • More romance options. Not just get married, but also get divorced. Have kids? (It's not sims but still an option)
  • Construct and captain your own ship for sea voyages. Ranging from basic canoes to long boats.
  • Flying mount? (It's not an MMO, but imagine a future Dovahkiin taming and riding his own dragon.)
  • A bigger variety of armors. Also able to repair broken armor, visually as well.

Maybe I'm being silly, but maybe you can think of some more nice ideas?

I was going to say no to this but you provided a good, worth while list so I have no choice but to agree.

But no hair growth, please.

We also need a Bleed out effect to the game so when you're dangerously low on health you slowly bleed out, but this should be optional.
