After around 120 hours of Skyrim, I've cleared a good portion of the map, and have discovered a lot of what there is to be discovered. Little details, large details, bugs, things that absolutely made me burst out laughing. But as much as Skyrim has gotten better, it's gotten worse in some ways. Which brings me to my question for everyone reading.

If you could change 1 thing in Skyrim, what would it be? Not bugs, If you worked at Bethesda and you were given the choice to add 1 idea to the game or remove a certain thing, What would it be?

Mine would be the Menu System.
It feels too...wrong. I don't know how to explain it really but It just doesn't have a fluent feel to it.

The horrid UI is easily fixed with http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3863 in case you didn't know

As to what I would change .. Hmm gonna have to be how everything you do in the game has zero impact on the world. Nobody cares if you're the supreme leader of whatever guilds or if you slaughtered an entire village etc. Sure people like you if you sell their own crops to them (...) but it's rather silly. So yeah, that's what I would change.

I would change the way weapons and spells are switched out on the d-pad (360) Something that could keep the combat flowing a bit more.

Definetly a bigger variety of things people say. Going around Whiterun and hearing that one guy keep saying," You know what's wrong with Skyrim these days" or that Battle Born guy going, "Patron of the great Clan Battle Born" makes me want to run a plague through that town. :/

So much for your ego, hey? I like it that way. Everyone is equal to everyone - even the Jarls are barely above the crowd - and the fact that you can gain friendship through honourable work is a good thing. Humble workers are the true heroes of Skyrim or wherever you can think of.

Leader of all guilds and the only one who can kill dragons for good. Yeah that ego is well deserved I think lol

In a way, this is two things I would change:

A. More detail in the quest journal so that players musn't rely so heavily on waypoints if they prefer not to.

B. In line with more detailed quest journals; a deeper line of dialogue with NPCs: This shouldn't mean that voice work has to be sacrified for that deeper dialogue. We're talking about a multi-million dollar company who has all the funding needed to provide both.

This definitely, the journal is a huge step down from Oblivion. I mean where am I suppose to go without the quest markers, you can't do it.

I would change combat rather than just swing and block I would add an extra thrust stab button. Swinging with a sword might look cool but it opens up the chest stomach groin and throat arias inviting a decisive thrust.

This always confuses me a little as I feel the player does make an impact on the world. Am I the minority here?

I'm called the dragonborn if I start the MQ, bards have sung songs about me after defeating Alduin, thiefs have returned to riften after I joined the guild, thugs are sent after me if I steal things, people comment on armour I wear (thieves guild or dragon, etc.), and shopkeepers are even replaced if they die. These are just a few that I can think of but I think they are a big iimprovement over other games. Are these not big enough? What kind of impact on the world were you expecting?

better combat.dungeon crawling and the game in general would last a lot longer if there were more weapons, and the combat wasn't hitting enemies with wet noodles.
area damage, combos, maybe even martial arts for hand to hand players, pole arms, new magic spells you name it.

Add more NPCs to the 'cities'

Some kind of recognition. And this applies to everything. You just saved a village from being attacked by a dragon, yet nobody cares.

hmm, the way that people react to what you do, you kill someone and they remember... and maybe what you do in tavern's, give you a drinking animation some what like in RDR...

the stendar quests... or who ever the dedra people are...

a purpose for cutting logs at the mills.

According to some people, there is recognition, we're just not seeing it. I went back to Oblivion and played 100 hours there just to see if I was crazy- no- NPC interaction and reaction is difinately cut back, way back in Skyrim.

I only have the following things that I'd like to see improved:

• more buildings for the towns like Karthwasten and Shor's Stone;
  
• meaningful lockpicking (either by a skills test ala FO3 or scarcity of picks);
  
• better rewards for picking high-level locks (a potion and 43 gold for a master lock? really?)
  
• Better booty reward in dungeons (crafted items should be worse than The Great Sword of Hoo-Hah the Valiant)

That being said, I'm well over 300 hours, 5th playthtough and just discovered for the first time a cave where a hag wants you to take down another hag- Melva v. Petra! As long as I can continue to get lost for hours wandering and dungeon diving in Skyrim then there isn't much problem with the game for me.

I'd change the children. Either remove them from the game or make them pleasant people with normal remarks for their age. And of course I'd add Argonian and Khajiit kids, should be so funny.

I play on Xbox, I dont enjoy PC gaming as much.

id bring back acrobatics including the roll and attacking while jumping

Flesh out the NPC:s, both backstories and interaction. There is almost no generic dialogue between NPC:s in Skyrim. Sometimes you can hear a bandit talking to himself, but that's about it.

Give the minor races (Orcs, Khajiit, Bosmer, Argonian) a bigger part! That or add a pure-blood Snow Elf =3

If I worked at Beth?

I would have done this right. Pandering to consoles is a compromise in quality for PC users that can't be allowed to continue. Dumbed-down versions of otherwise powerful applications serve only to create headaches and debilitate capable PC users. Also, Skyrim would have been a fully 64bit app, that's a no-brainer and why it wasn't is obvious - see above - console port whine.

Beth toss the community a "bone" with a DLC Texture Pack and it turns out to be a joke; mostly busted, barely an improvement and generally a mess, much like all things Bethesda.

Whoever is running things over there needs to be flogged. Then ceremoniously replaced by someone who knows their ass from a hole in the ground.

I would have, from the very beginning, made the HUD so that it was gone whenever it wasn't needed!

Dialogue. It's so bad it hurts. I would have branching options that have consequences, and a reason to use the speech perks.

Maybe more dialogue options but im satisfied with the game
