Amen to this

I definitely miss Open Spells, and Cure Disease. They were staples of most of my classes.

Waterwalking has it's own uses, which have only been added to with the real water currents in Skyrim. Some rivers are slow to swim across due to the high current so you cast Water walking and just walk across. Also good for a tactical position when using spells/ranged and for losing enemies.

Feather is just outright a useful thing to have as a spell. The only thing I would change is to make so you can't FT when you would be encumbered but have used a Feather spell/potion. To balance it make so it lasts a really long time.

Mark and Recall can be used inside of any cell, so you can keep a recall point in a cave or your house or anywhere.

I don't want Unlock to return. I want Melt Mechanism or something like that. It should take time depending on the quality of the lock and be noisy. Bash lock for warriors would accomplish the same thing, being louder and potentially faster.

Then let Lockpicking perks allow the player to relock/trap doors and chests, with AI modifications to open locked doors.

Telekenesis is in the game.

I agree totally!

Agreed. Here's some more I wish they'd added. Maybe with CK we might be able to add these?

jump - for clearing those annoying fences that are chest height or greater
burden - real handy for slowing down trolls, sabre cats, bears and giants so you can snipe them with the bow
waterwalking
swift swim
summon Golden Saint--may fav in boss fights
silence - next best fav in big boss fights
recall
blind
chameleon

then there were some really sweet spells like "fingers of the mountain". Chain Lightning seems to be a really weak variant of this. This Oblivion spell made the best use of the game's physics engine when it came to lauching NPCs into the air. Especially when used in closed room, close quarter melee combat.

I think telekinesis could be greatly improved as well. This has been done a bit with shouts but telekinesis throws, throw and retrieve knife, steal weapon from enemy. Think the force and i think you'll know what i mean.

And let's talk about apparel and weapons we want back

-medium armor
-spears
-crossbows

And I want to be able to make a fireball spell in a ring like I could do in Morrowind. Also I want to be able to wear pants with armor on top of it like morrowind. And I want to be able to put my horse in my inventory like in Daggerfall(allright, not this) and I want to climb vertically up buildings like in Daggerfall. And I want Cliffracers.

Anyway, Skyrim is a great game. I just can't wait for new DLC and other nice additions

Just give me back my open lock and i'll be fine, i'll never know why they took it out.

There are alternatives to almost all of these actually.
Feather- I know this has been said, but there are plenty of potions you can find that will temporarily increase carrying capacity.
Levitate- No alternative, would be awesome but could also break quests.
Open lock- If you want to pick a lock but don't want to level the skill, you can give your follower lock picks and have them pick it.
Slowfall- Become ethereal dragon shout
Waterwalking- No alternative I can think of.
Night eye- There are a couple alternatives to this, but neither are ideal. The first is to become a vampire which gives you the night eye ability and the second is to cast magelight or some other light spell (this will probably give away your position, though).
Mark and Recall- Like you said similar to fast travel, but not the same.

i miss damage stamina spells

So instead you have the system now which is spam Dual-Incenerate ad-nauseum. The POINT of having so many spells is to give you OPTIONS. There are no cast cycles in Skyrim or reason to use cast cycles. The magic system is incredibly watered-down and one dimensional. I don't think there is a point to having a bunch of redundant spells, but come on, it is so incredibly easy to make unique spells it isn't even funny. You do not ever need to fear a target, root a target, mez a target, reverse kite, etc etc. This problem is compounded by the fact that in most cases you run into only a single enemy at a time with each encounter spread out greatly AND not even facing you.

Again, using potions does not remove the need for feather. I don't always have the ingredients to make potions and there is no reason why my Nord with no extra points in Magicka couldn't do the exact same thing as my mage. It just removes a reason to play mage.
Levitate could break quests, but that's a design issue. Maybe not every dungeon should have an alternative exit right next to the entrance.
Slowfall - This doesn't make me fall slow, it just makes me survive the fall... Also dragonshouts can be a lot harder to find then spells, and there is no reason why my warrior and mage should both have the same abilities.
Open Lock - Having a follower annoys me, an incredible amount. More importantly from an RP perspective it doesn't always make sense, and most important of all there is nothing that would make my mage any better at this then my warrior...
Night-eye - Is actually in the game.

Magic is just a lot less useful in this game then it was in previous games.

Everything said so far. Oh and telekinesis being better. Sure you can pick up an object, but you can't move a lever or open a chest/door/etc. It would also be nice if you could get a stronger version of it that would allow you to lift and move smaller enemies.

Fast travel does not replace mark and recall. Fast travel takes me to a town or cave if I'm outside and safe. Mark and recall could take me from the deepest pits of red mountain while fighting a powerful Dagoth follower to the safety of my Telvanni tower and drop me right next to the chest I stored stuff in behind my dwemer construct guards, mages, heavy walls, and next to my exotic dancer(yes I used command spells to take one to my house). It was also 'instant', as in time did not pass. I use to use that with the intervention spells and the mages teleport chambers plus the old stronghold teleport system. I could zip back and forth across Morrowind and Mournhold doing various things with no time passing at all. Compare that to using a buggy or fast travel to go from Solitude to Riften, a whole 24 hours pass by, very irritating if your a vampire and need to feed before and after.

I would also like the 'charm' spell back. Improve your prices and persuade chances.

Yeah, I do agree with you.

Definitely don't want to see Levitation or Open Spells back. The former is exploit galore, the latter makes lockpicking completely useless, those spells can stay dead. I wouldn't mind Waterwalking back although I think I have an idea as to why that was taken out, due to the fact that you can't intitate combat in deep water anymore.

Spells I would like returned in DLC:

Cure disease/poison
Feather
Unlock
Burden
Waterwalking
Bound Armor
Weakness
Resist
Drain
Silence

+ more variation in bound weapons and summons.

But that is such nonsense.
First of all, levitation was never an exploit. Even in Morrowind NPC's already had ways of dealing with it. Try flying over Hlormaren at a low level.
Secondly, so such thing as making anything useless. The game is about choice. There is nothing wrong and everything right with several paths to the same goal. Quite the opposite, having only one way is boring.

Yeah this is the main reason I would ever play on PC...

You could make enchanted items that carry the same effect or use alchemy.

Will never happen it made dungeon and level design difficult. They removed it from oblivion because it limited the kind of things they could have in the game.

The problem was a single spell made an entire skill pointless. Maybe they figured out how to make magic proof locks.

This would be nice

Also would be nice.

I think as a spell its gone forever, it actually makes the racial ability useful.

That was removed for similar reasons as Levitation. It limits the designing of spacing and scenarios. Mark & Recall has the potential to break quests if you use it at the wrong time. I can think of a few quests or dungeons that could be potentially broken because you recalled out at the wrong place. What you really want is the long haul perk from NV that lets you fast travel when overencumbered.

If they did add it in, it probably wouldn't work if you were overencumbered kinda like the carrages or function in combat.

Levitate would simplify exploring in the same way as the quest arrows, it removes the need to find your own way around the terrain and makes it a matter of simply picking your direction and going straight for your target.

Sure if you would like things simpler, add levitate, but from those who at the same time complains about the compass and quest indicators that′s a bit hypocritical.

Feather - I would really like this as I don't always have a potion. Would be nice to enchant a ring or amulet with it so you can put it on in a pinch, then go back to your regular enchanted item when you sell of some goods.

Levitate - Would like this as well. I don't see why there couldn't be a "loading zone" when trying to levitate over a wall to get into a city. Morrowind had all kinds of loading as you entered new areas. Especially if you fortified Speed by a few hundred points. You would run like the Flash and pause to load every few seconds (wouldn't be that bad in Skyrim as there is no Speed attribute). Just need an invisible "wall" that when you hit it, it loads the interior city cell. Not the best, but I think it would work.

Open Locks - Absolutely. People say that it would make the lockpicking skill useless. I say a lockpicking minigame that you can beat (master lock) with a handful of picks even with 15 in lockpicking at level 1 makes the lockpicking skill useless. And you need to level up Alteration into the high numbers even to get a open expert/master spell anyway.

Slowfall - They have a shout for that. Would be nice though, but not too important to me.

Night Eye - They have that don't they? Haven't found it yet though.

Waterwalking - would be nice but no biggy with it gone for me.

Mark and Recall - Absolutely should be in the game. Makes it nice for a quick escape to your home, or to drop off loot. But there should not be extra "Marks"! Just the one would be enough. Would be hell on your companions though. Lydia, "I don't like the look of this." Dragon Priest shows up and you recall out. Lydia, "I really really don't like the look of this"

But it wasn't a single spell. There were different spells for different difficulty locks. You needed to actually raise your alteration skill high enough to open tougher locks (ie actually use the skill). The minigame made the skill pointless as a level 1 character with no lockpicking skill could open a master lock with a handful of picks you buy at 6 gold a piece (ie no reason to ever use/raise/take perks in the skill other than what happened automatically). Does anyone ever take perks in Lockpicking other than for RP reasons? I haven't looked at all the perks as I can open any lock without them.


Not sure how it would break a quest. I've been playing since release, but haven't done everything yet as I keep making new characters. Don't see how it would affect design. Can see it with levitation, but not this.

I want Mysticism and Spellmaking back. And all the old spells.
