What is missing from Skyrim

hello everyone

EXAMPLES

Its only a small hill, should be easy to get up there......so you start going up....you get stuck & you start to jump....like a frog again and again......7 jumps later tor at the top of your little hill.

Your a member of the famous Thieves guild......you job is to steal things ......you can pick any lock...but you cant climb to the first level of a balcony. only half of the climbing ability of Assassins Creed would have been great.....not talking about going full Monty.....but give me the dignity of climbing my little hill as the warrior i am and not as a frog.

For all the fighting ability this one may have....it is all useless if you try to preform the same moves whilst in mid air........you cant attack or block......and you cant shout.....or use your bow or magic. how many time this one has jumped to attack a dragon to no avail.........please give us mid air attacks!

What is Missing
above are two things that this one feels should be essential parts of the game from the start or be part of the Elder Scrolls VI...
please add your own what you think is missing from Skyrim

Do you do a lot of jumping during battle?

Maybe one thing would be being able to switch between my two handed-weapon and bow without going into the menu. *And of course healing... but I think you can have a one-handed attack and restoration at same time?

And two would be not take so long to go through doors.

Overall it's worth it! Such a great game and undoubtedly extensive.

Everything the mod "Frostfall" provides.

Water. MOTHERFLUFFING Water!
We got ale, mead, wine, milk, skooma, potions, poisons, all that funky Morrowind stuff, bottled blood, and yet NO WATER! Lazy fluffin' Nords, you've got lakes, rivers, ponds and you never think to bottle it pure! Is this some kind of Black-Briar conspiracy! Give me water.

WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!

You know what's wrong with Skyrim these days?

And it need not be famous voices either.

Speaking of voices, (and somewhat off topic but not quite), somehow the limited voice actors in the game has become an endearing feature. At least for me. You can meet an NPC for the first time but it seems familiar because you instantly recognize the voice. My favorite is the Optimus Prime sounding voice, (Farkus, Glover Malory etc.), but I also like the one that sounds like a bad Arnold impersonation.

Don't get me wrong... more voices are needed! And why do the voice actors use the exact same voice for all their characters? Most people are capable of altering their voices somewhat.

RANTER!!! RANTER!!! RANTER!!!

It was an accident you goof!

I know but it's funny! Now you get to be a ranter, at least until I remove it in a few minutes. :beermug:

So what's the deal with Frostfall?

Better dialogue with whoever you marry -- I was ready to kill Miuri after a week and I've stopped going home with the other characters - I go to Lakeview Manor which I treat as a man-cave.

Recognition from NPCs when you have already completed a task - I know many say thank you forever, but that bitch in Solitude - I wore her clothes to the Blue Palace - stop telling me to dress better.

I like the idea of some mid-air attacks - throwing a knife, shooting a bow - but if it's drawn ready. After all, we are only Dragonborn, not Hawkeye. Unless of course the bow can be enchanted to be easily drawn and fired. The greybeards seem to brace themselves when they shout, so I guess this is to project the shout. If your in mid air and try it, it should be limited to the lower level shout or it would push you back spinning through the air - could be funny.

I really don't like the monetary system. Early on in the game, every gold coin was worth ... well... gold. Now I'm level 67 and have nearly $250,000 that I carry around (debit card???) so it makes most of the quests where i used to get excited about finding a steel sword i could sell and a bag with 6 coins in it not so much any more. I just plow right through.

At least put in some stats like "Individual coins gathered" or something.

Oh, and at this level the burial urns still have an average of 7 coins inside. Woooooo

The developers also could've gave the horses in this game more health than what they have now. My very first playthrough I was soooo excited when I bought a horse only to have it die a couple hours later by dragon.

Spanking won't help her. She's too far gone. Throw her in the mines. Cidna Mine to be exact. It'll grow some hair on her chest like she always wanted. That and some manners and humility.. Little brat!

Before I knew better, I tried to use the spell "Courage" on Lars Battle-Born in a failed attempt to get him to whoop her ass!

This is super petty, but I'd like to be able to turn my camera around my character while moving in 3rd person. I never really noticed it before, but I've been playing Dragon Age and recently switched back to Skyrim and I miss being able to do that.

One time my camera actually got stuck in a position so no matter how I moved it always faced to same way. So I was able to see my character running from the front! Until I realized I couldn't get anything done that way and had to restart.

It could've been if it was Lydia....Maybe Aela, if she'll shut up saying "Something has shifted in the moons, brother".

I'm going to ignore mods here for a moment, since we're talking about what the game itself is missing. I know must of this stuff are available in mods, but since they're not in the vanilla game (as in, no mods, but counting the DLCs) they don't count. Now, on to my list.

1. NO ESSENTIAL NPCS - Seriously, Morrowind didn't have this bulls*it, it really isn't necessary. I should be allowed to kill whoever the hell I want, I'm the damn Dragonborn. And yes, I'm including children in this. I wouldn't really kill them, per se, because I'm not that much of a jerk, but I still think you should be able to kill anyone, even if they're involved in quests. If they are, just make killing them automatically fail the quest, simple. Yes, even the main quest. Or, alternatively, make them killable once the quest is completed. I, for one, wish I was able to kill the pl*ps outta Delphine and fail the "Paarthurnax" quest instead.

2. HAVING TO EAT, DRINK AND SLEEP - Well, I kind of excuse the lack of sleep when my character is a werewolf/vampire. But what about people who don't want their characters to be immortal creatures of the night? There should be a penalty for ignoring your character's basic needs, similar to disease penalties.

3. ADDICTION TO SKOOMA - Everyone in-game keeps talking about how horrible and dangerous skooma is, but my character downs like five bottles of skooma a day and nothing happens, not even a penalty. I think they should have put in a system similar to Fallout 3's drug addiction, where withdrawal makes your penalties worse and worse. It should also eventually kill you should you ignore withdrawal.

4. MAKE DISEASES ACTUALLY DANGEROUS - Diseases are extremely pointless. The only thing they do is give you a minor penalty which can be completely ignored for an indefinite amount of time. I had my character diseased for literally real-time weeks before I realized he was sick. I stumbled upon it mostly by accident; I had realized NPCs were saying my character looked sick, and I thought it was strange, but mostly paid no mind to it. It was only when I was sorting out through "Active Effects" to check on some bonuses I had from my armor that I saw the disease there. What's the point in that? Why not take that concept and make it more immersive, making it eventually weaken your character until it ends up killing them? That would be a lot cooler.

5. I AGREE, TOILETS - No need for making your character actually go to the bathroom, because this is not The Sims (unless you think it would make more it immersive; it would just annoy the pl*ps outta me though [no pun intended]), but we should definitely see the bathrooms inside the characters' houses. What, no toilets? So do they all just pl*ps in the woods? WTF?

Imagine how awesome it would be to do the whole skyrim thing, but with a friend

Ah yes runes, you made a great point that I must elaborate on. Reputation. This is to me, perhaps the greatest of all things missing. Harbinger of the Companions, guards think I fetch the mead? Refer to me as a bard, simply because I did some quests for the Bard's College? Never get to the Cloud District?! I saved the entire fluffing continent from destruction with the Jarls assistance, and I never get to the Cloud District?!! New to Riften???! I OWN this place!!!!

"Looking for a blade?" YES. I'm openly carrying an enchanted dragonbone war axe, got any iron swords?

And why do I need to dress better every time I visit the Blue Palace?? Bitch- you know who I am??!

Can I spare a septim? Here, take $30,000.

"Glover Malory's the name," that's well and good Glover but I'm worried. You look far to young for Alzheimer's, but if you don't recognize me by now... What is the Retched Netch pouring these days..? Let's find out!

By the time I'm level 50, bards should be singing songs of my name and deeds! Books should be written of my exploits! I should have the option to instal a barrow, complete with those high arches, (Bleakfalls Barrow style), and hire an army to guard it! Actually, they wouldn't need to be hired- they'd do it for fear of falling out of favor with the greatest hero in the history of Tamriel!!

I'll adjourn for now, before I get too excited. Time for some ale.

So very true, I forgot about this. It's kind of frustrating to be the leader of the Companions and the guy who saved the world not one or two, but three times, and having to take pl*ps from random guards. Everyone should at least stop treating you with sneer and mockery after you save their asses.

TBH, I think it would take a bit of the immersion away if there were two Dragonborns, but Miraak existed at the same time our DB did, so who knows...

hello every one

.......this one would like thank you all for your input...buys a round of :beermug:

.....ohhh

forgot Kohlar :beermug:

realism with the inventory.....cant have 3 bows, 4 armors, 40 potions, who knows what else and not look it on the outside

you want to take things with you then have.....backpacks 100pts extra...bags 50pts extra....and so on

this one sat one day and watched a Fire breathing Dragon attacking Riverwood

.......not one house burnt down

....not one tree caught fire

.....and the lumber mill with all that lumber ling around is still there

......Things in Skyrim don't catch fire.

Al'Tair is very right

a lot of the things we are talking about exist in mods......the point is why need to make a mod for some basic things which should have or should be in the game.

saying that, I have no idea how many thousands of hours of programing Bethesda put into the game....truth be said they cant think of everything

.....and yes it is a business after all, they had to release it one day.....BTW dose any one have Bethesda email address (direct contact)

.....naaa this one would not be that silly.......

T. Rakinson · Apr 25, 2015

As much as I would enjoy immersion, I think if it were improved upon it should be toggleable. A lot of fun would go out of the game for me if I died in a cave from a burst kidney.
Skyrim would become a very empty place if things could burn down...

Diseases I agree with you about. Make them more dangerous, but have them develop in stages similar to Vampirism. E.g Its annoying enough when your maximum health is reduced by 25 just because some pathetic Vampire fledgling got you, especially if theres a powerful Master Vampire somewhere in your near future...

And TOILETS! When I buy a 16+ (later turned 18+) game, I expect violence, gore, strong language and the odd sexual reference, but poop animations!
