In game.... I would say more weapons...like a flails, glaives, and double-bladed swords!!  overall...I think It would be cool to add an online play mode...not nessessarily MMO (That would be insane!!) but at the very least so players could co-op 2-4 players to Main Storyline quests!! Can't wait for the game!!

idk about the whole flying dragon mount thing cause thats starting to become to much like wow.... but i would like to fight them.... like if one was frozen in ice in skyrim.... and it got loose and laid eggs and then they hatched.... then a few months later u got dragons flying around terrorizing people and snagging up livestock..... and what about elemental dragons.... like the typical fire, then ice, then lightning, and maybe a undead one that breaths a really strong poison gass.... and what about a omni dragon... one with all the elements... a fire, ice, and lightning blast all in one.... like if one of those escaped from a prison of some sort and laid eggs that would explain how all the other elemental dragons apeard.... fire makes fire, ice makes ice, lightning makes lightning, but a omni is super rare and can make any of them.... and layes a bunch of eggs.... and u can join a dragon slayer's guild and have to stop them. and to join them u have to kill one and u get a invite from them and for the item purpose thing like quils and ink and stuff why not to make a scroll u need parchmant paper, ink, and quill along with the ability to cast the spell desired... eather from ur own magic or from a already exsisting scroll..... as for the art suply stuff i dont know what that could be used for.... but ive been saying that rolls of cloth should be useable.... take them to a tailor or have a skill that gives u the ability to tailor and make robes or clothes and the better u are at making robes and clothes the higher ur armor rating is for unarmord (which they need to bring back)

Among the less complicated changes, ALL foes who wear armour/clothing should be able to be stripable. I should not have to find a Valkanyz to take the daedric Armour. Markynaz helmets and armour should come off as well, as should Aureal and Mazkan armour, Dremora robes, and even goblin armour. It is completely illogical that you cannot take their helms and armour, which are not affixed, as the persons of like race who DON'T wear armour make plain.

Also, agreed on the better A.I. reactions. . . and make them make sense. If I beat the hell out of someone, and fight them for several minutes, and then decide to turn invisible and spare their lives. . . they should NOT say things like, "must of been the wind" or "my eyes playing tricks". They should say, something more along the lines of, "Sweet Azura! What a dreadful foe! I'd better hide before he comes back." just a much wider range of responses, and none that don't make sense in light of the events. This goes in line with how members of the Mages Guild should never have the audacity to sass off at The Archmage! If there is one cantankerous mage who does it routinely, okay, but for EVERY mage at the university to turn to the Chief Magister and flippantly snip "Umm, I am sure you want to say something pressing, but  I've no time for you now, as these apprentices don't train themselves. " WTF?

I agree, NPCs do need better reactions. It can be borderline ridiculous sometimes.

However, I don't agree that certain armors should be lootable. Although I endorse and want immersion into the game, overpowering the character is a bad choice. A level one should not be able to kill a low level dremora and get a full suit of the best armor in the game after only 30 minutes of playtime.

If that kind of Uber armor is going to be available for grabs one of two things should be implemented, either we go the Fallout 3 route and place a special requirement on the high level armor (like how the power armor required a special perk) or we level the armor (level 1-5 characters for example, who kill dremora would find "Tarnished Daedric Armor"). And I DON"T like the idea of either of those.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense that you can't strip the dremora of his mythical armor but it's that way to prevent insanely powerful level 1 characters

We can cry together when we see the next Elder Scrolls. So I had to go even more backwards to understand you. Now I do....that's not much of a problem to me when I played Oblivion. I'd just turn back the other way. It's hard to keep up with this topic, because I had to read everything to see your point. Swimming in Morrwind just makes your back on the other side of the map. Like almost going in a circle. There was no endless swimming forever. Also way out there I happen to find many sunken ships and treasures that wasn't attached to any quest (from my memory). Swimming that far out was just as much as an adventure to being on land (underwater that is).

I think those events you made up to say you can't go no further just takes away from the experience of actually being in the certain area or region you are in the world of the game. Having it say you can't go no further is nice and also it's not like they stoped the view of the game at that point. You could gaze and still see the beauty of the lands.

Really, considering the size of Morrowind, and the Shivering isles expansion, I don't see why they don't just expand the map and let you travel the rest of the continent. They don't have to fill the other regions with dungeions and the like. Just make them traversable.

We'll leave that to you Death.

A massive portion of daggerfall was randomly generated...im talking from dungeons to landscapes. There were only like 10 places in the game that were actually hand made. Because of this, it also had fast traveling...

One could say Morrowind was unlike the "good old days."

Randomly generated, eh? That won't cut it nowadays.

I shouldn't have to tell you dungeons are copy and paste jobs with minor tweaks and different enemy spawns, as that's blatantly obvious.

Yes Death, it is blatantly obvious. . . which is why your initial theorum confounded me. Clearly it is within the ability of the designers to do massive copy and paste jobs, with slight alterations and tweaks. And what more is needed for the outerboundaries? Once there, you have already run off the reservation, so anything more complicated than the demon wall of non passage would be something of an improvement. If you get beyond the primary map borders and start giving trees the once over to see if they are too similar to groves you saw when you were on the beaten path. . . well then you're just being a jerky deconstructicon lol.  I just think, with occassional tweaking and different spawns, the outer limits and boundaries of the Game could become a place of great fascination for players who have already hit all the main paths. . . and of greatly fascinating distraction for those who haven't. If Oblivion is our primary example, consider if repetative mountain and forest scapes had greeted you on crossing the Morrowind Border, and spawnings primarily of Dark Elves, the occassional shallow building etc. Never anything really complex, but something. Snow in Skyrim and a Nord Settlement here or there, not enough to really require a seperate load, settlements like the outer territory of Drad's Estate rather than the castles of the Counts and Countesses. Ditto Elswyyr with Kajhitt, Valenwood with Wood Elves. I am sure  an excessively hostilre response is being prepared, but, ya know. . . just a thought.

Go download the Construction Set, make a new world cell and see exactly how easy it would be to do the bull you're going on about.

For God's sake, death, can you ever just say, "that would still be difficult because" without reverting to a$$hole talk? I was just saying it would add to depth and verisimilitude if the map allowed you to keep out into other regions. No need to throw things at me on account of it.

More importantly, can you or anyone else answer another question I asked. Namely, are The Elder books due in fall actual novels that can be purchased, in the mold of say Warhammer and Forgotten Realms, or is it merely some sort of xbox live feature?

I'd like to see more types of buissness u can perform. Like buying whole shops, renting out homes ect. also If u were to have a lot of stuff you should hav the ability to use horse and carts to carry items, this way you can travel town to town with more stuff. This could also be used in buissness and leave you open for being raided
