The things I would love Bethesda to try to incorporate into Skyrim or any future sequels focus mainly on your character's helper/horse.

1.) I would love to have two simultaneous helpers, making it sort of like a gang. Imagine having one helper a mage, another a barbarian, and you a thief or all three of you the same classs, any combination, eh?

2.) Let's take it a bit futher. Customizing your helper/helpers! It would be nice to give them perks to focus on, but if I'm asking too much, being able to name them, change their facial features, clothing, and weapons will be good enough. ( I understand you can somewhat control what your helper wears/uses as weapon, but it is very limited.)

3.) It seems kinda mean to ride around on a steed when your helper has to hoof it by themselves. I know the game usually makes them disappear and reappear when you have stopped along your journey, but why not be able to purchase a horse for them. And when they don't own one of their own let them ride with you on your horse. If falling off cliffs or some other stupid thing that could easliy kill your helper while on their horse is the problem then why not make them immune to damage taken from falling off mountains?

4.) I would love to be able to chop a dude's head off while I'm on horseback! Shoot some arrows or throw some fireballs while on your horse. Can you imagine fighting a dragon ( or your whole gang ) while doing circles around it on your horse delievering punishment if you have the skill? It could be incorporated as a perk even.

Well, that is my two cents for now.

Better everything.

1. Someone will mod this into the game. Similar limitations existed in Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas, but it doesn't stop me from having a small army at my back now.

2. Custom inventories were modded into previous games as well. Now, renaming and changing the facial appearance would be very complicated, and could mess up the game. Custom stats... Ehh, it's tough to tell. I'm sure it could be done, but I'm not sure of the possibility of changing their leveling patterns.

3. More importantly, why aren't there any NPCs on horseback at all (at least as far as I've seen)? Especially couriers; it'd make sense for the guys who travel all across Skyrim to be mounted. And why no mounted patrols?

4. I believe horse combat was omitted intentionally, as it'd be way too powerful. That being said, it was modded in to Oblivion, albeit imperfectly. Were it to be put in, there would have to be some disadvantages beyond the lack of agility. For example, a power attack should have a chance to knock you off your horse, as should any attack that can knock you down in regular combat. And if it is put in, I'd like to see it incorporate #3 and let NPCs fight from horseback as well. Imagine setting up a large battle, and seeing a large cavalry charge.

Conclusion: Wait for mods. They'll fix anything and everything that may or may not be wrong with this game.

I'll take some of that action. Don't know if the three companions would be good if you get them right at the start of the game. What if you get the first one a third of the way through the game then the second one two thirds or half way through the game.

I wish that there was more depth to the marriage system in the game, like Fable 3 where you could actually interact with your spouse, rather than just being limited to asking them to cook you something or to give you money.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!

#1 can be achieved with 2 dead thralls and a companion follower...i was doing 2 quests that involved a follower at the same time so i had 5 followers at once, i felt like i was leading a fellowship

This. Skyrim is an amazing game, probably my favourite game ever, but due to the amount of stuff in it there are many things, probably most things in the game, that could be deeper and better.

Only improvement I truly would want is better dialogue. Everything else I can live with.

A khajiit marriage partner. Not putting a Khajiit to marry is pure silliness.

I appreciate that the Khajiit & Argonians don't need many choices as I'm sure most don't weigh up who the best looking one, but one male and one female would have been more than sufficient. Playing as a Khajiit and marrying a human or an elf just doesn't feel right.

Me too. I just want this one unique feature:
Better Everything.

I won't get all elitist in here, but as others have said, almost every one of these I wish threads has things in it that have often already been announced as mods that are in progress, or occasionally already released, like the hypothermia request I saw two weeks ago.

Bonemold armor. Dark elves came to Skyrim in mass multiple times in history, but they didn't bring a single suit of armor. Dark elves do not wear 'elven armor', that is high elven stuff.

More spells: Charm, levitate, slow fall, more summon spells, spell making, etc.

Being able to give combat orders to followers. I like being able to tell them to pick something up, but being able to tell them to stay back, or stay near me would be very useful.

More stuff.

I think the thing I was most sad about was finishing moves. I though there'd be loads but there are like 2 or 3 for each enemy.

And I know they said this was the most they'd ever packed into a game but I've pretty much done everything at 70 hours, I'm pretty sure I spent several 100 hours going through Fallout 3. I wish the dungeons were more diverse and I wish there was more to do ABOVE the surface. Most missions require you to go underground or into a castle. Why can't there be some frigging all out wars?!

The only thing Skyrim needs is a deeper magic system. More spells, more variation.

I miss the 'Open' spell...

My wish list:

• horseback combat (running down a fleeing bandit to cave in his skull with my mace)
  
• meaningful dialogue options
  
• revamped guild system (being a guild leader actually means something)
  
• expanded magic; more spells and variations
  
• NPC's react appropriately to who you are (famous, evil, good, average joe, etc)
  
• let me put my damn shield on my back!

The thing that got me upset with is the fact that you could not fish (I don't count "jumping into the water and pressing E till you catch one" like fishing). just to skip some quests and head on down to the lake for some salmon catching. there are fishing rods but you can't fish. doesn't even make sense.

That would make balancing the game really difficult because the devs would have to cater for people playing as a 'squad' and people going it alone - it would be really difficult for it not to be too hard on your own or too easy with multiple companions. And in pratical terms, they'd keep getting in your way.
Though as it is you can still have a dog and a humanoid I think.

I'd way prefer it if they had more personality, more backstory and their own proper quest like New Vegas did so well. Personally I think having your companions as some sort of toy doll is a horrible idea and totally unimmersive.

i wish that skyrim add some sort of a tent you could carry around when you dont have a inn or a house and you should eat to keep alive

I know what you mean. I am a dedicated Khajiit fan. In all the Elder Scroll games that I played I played as a Khajiit. So when I found out you could get married in Skyrim, I was thrilled. I was thrilled and then tragically rejected when I found out I could not marry a Khajiit. One of the achievements was to get married, so I found the first guy that gave me the marriage option. The guy I married was an Argonian, do you know haw ugly our children will be. I also believe they should of gave us the option to start a family, I hope that is in the next game.

Love the game, beat the main storyline already though...would be nice if the expansions came out to include taking over Tamriel then going after and defeating the Thalmor - kind of like walking in the path of Tiber Septim. To unite Skyrim you get thane-ship from all the Jarls and then go to the moot where you battle it out for high kingship. The dragon Odahving could fly you to Tamriel after Alduin is destroyed, before then the seas could be too rough for travel but once there travel back and forth could resume. Being welcomed among the Gods as one of them at the very end (Talos reborn) would be sweet

Agreed, its all there or semblance of it. Can it please be better?

2 more years of production time

Ehh, I hope you meant that the extended time would've been from the start not that - you know, Skyrim would be released in 11.11.13.
