I hate how they started to touch up on something but kinda just left it at that, such as the RP elements in Windhelm for a prime example, if you go there as a Dunmer, you're not really treated any differently, I understand let any race go through the game and enjoy it but to be honest, that's what I liked about RPG was that you could try to play as a certain race but then suddenly find yourself at odds with a race's weaknesses socially as well as in combat. A Khajiit would be unwelcome in towns but because you're the dragonborn, you HAVE to be let in, they could at least have people who haven't heard of you give you a tongue lashing as well as threatening your life until they're corrected by the city guard as to why you're within city walls. Same as for the Argonians in Windhelm, they're not exactly welcomed in that particular city either. There could've been so much more but they kinda leave it at where it is for the most part, I enjoy the added content given by the DLCs but there again, could be so much more even within the DLCs.

I've recently been playing my first orc character, and nothing special happened when I visited my first orc stronghold, I just got one of the orcs telling me to speak with the chief or wisewoman to "remember" my past - basically an excuse for them to give me the same dialogue as when I played any other race. There really should be more exclusive content for when you're playing different races. Enter Windhelm as a member of any race, and you still have the option to support the Nord superiority comments.
Not sure how u even got that dialog, i play as orc's all the time, they make the best warrior builds imo but orc strongholds still give me the same rude dialog as any other character, even insisting i'm not an orc which is just silly.

I hate at the beginning of the game, after escaping Helgen, when Ralof/Hadvar decides to randomly swing by the mines instead of going past the guardian stone. It makes sense that when you're starting out, you stop by the stones and choose what sort of path you want to head in, and gain the bonus early, and Hadvar even has dialogue suited for the occasion where he tells you to pick a stone and gives feedback on your choice. but how come on some of my games they decide to skip the stones entirely and go by the mine instead?

You don't have to be a mage to get unlimited soul gems.
I guess I just don't like enchanting. Again it's just my opinion.
I kind of agree with you, I love enchanting a lot but it's so damn boring early on to collect the grand soul gems that are actually useful, but it seems now that all weapon enchantments do same damage no matter the soul gem? Is that a bug for me or did Bethesda change it?

Think skyrim needs more armour/hairstyles in the vanilla.especially for console users.we can't mod.
 
Nothing I really HATE about it, but there are quite a few different things that I find annoying or that could be improved upon. For example, the lack of personality variation in most dialogue. Most of the time you only ask questions or a line that moves the quest ahead. I would love for your character to not feel so robotic in that sense.

I guess I don't like its boring music and greyed atmosphere ,gloomy environment where there are less population even in places where it supposed to be crowded like whiterun.
 
I also think that there should really be more wildlife. Or maybe not exactly wildlife, but there should be more random encounters or things/incidents/events you run into when traveling.

honestly, I have gotten t the point where I notice all the things that could make the game better. Magic cs to my mind mainly. Mainly the Destruction tree. It is just so underpowered at later levels. I remembered not too long ago I was fighting an Elder Dragon on Master with only Destruction. It damn near took me 20 minutes to even get the thing on the ground. Then it took me another 20 to kill it. This was all decently leveled spells btw.
Now I know that the other trees could have helped, but that is beside the point.Destrucion is underpowered. What I think should have been done is insteadonly reducing magicka cost for the spell, damage should have been increased as well in later levels. Not only would this make Destruction more viable, but also would make the lower leveled spells more useful and not so obsolete.

I hate these bandit forts that are located on main roads. Surely the wagons must be passing by these, so why don't they get attacked while transporting you to the main cities? There's that large bridge near Falkreath that you have to pass on your way to Lakeview - the steward doesn't warn you about it when she's telling you how to get there. And there's Fort Greenwall which is practically a stones throw from Shor's Stone, although at least that place gets secured by soldiers when you're doing the war quests. But it just seems so silly, the way NPCs talk casually about traveling from one city to another when there are bandit forts dotting the main roads, we should be able to have them all occupied by local guards after clearing them out.

I hate that you can't complete the stones of Barenziah quest without joining the Thieves Guild. Can't I just sell them the stupid stones? What else am I going to do with them?

What if she's role playing? Her character might not join the thieves guild because she's too kind or hates thieves. Maybe she doesn't want to steal.

Don't really HATE anything in the game, but the occasional freezing is annoying.
If I could say something it would be that they fixed up the inventory a little bit, like putting all the Stones of Barenziah, or filled soul gems etc, in one group. But that's such a small thing.;)
Oh and not being able to finish a quest because it clashed with another one is annoying to. Like that dude getting killed in Solitude during the civil war quest, that you have to ask about some granddaughter for some old lady :)

It's a forum. People support other people and try to help explain there ideas. I was thinking the exact same thing as Kenny.
