Improved engine that can handle more things on screen and more stuff happening
Bring back spell creation and stats
Add unique armor and weapon creation since that’s a big part of Redguard culture
And that’s it. You don’t need to change too much just add in systems that make it a modern game.

instead of tiny dungeons that you can explore in 5 minutes have one gigantic underworld like TOTK.
also have an entire world in the sky to explore, like TOTK.
also make crafting and building incredibly flexible and only limited by your imagination, like TOTK.

Add a collectible card game.

Cards can be puchased all over Hammefell as regular trade goods.
'Blank/soul' cards can be purchased from magical goods shops.

You can transfer magical essence from soulgems to soulcards which creates a new card based on the monster/npc whose soul you captured and transferred. This is the primary way of acquiring high-level/rare cards.

Soulcards can be burnt at certain shrines to receive blessings.

The game is traditonally played in taverns and each tavern has variant rules/modifiers based on the local region.

There's a special quest where you have to recover the card containing the essence of somebodies lover, you can do this by winning a game against the npc who holds the card, convincing them to give it to you, stealing it from their corpse or robbing it from their home when they're not carrying it. Do add some morale weight the current holder wasn't the one who trapped the soul but they're also a selfish bastard who is reluctant to give it up.

Optional psychedelic quest where you get trapped in a card...

Bring back spell crafting, it's what made Morrowind so magical (pun intended)

>>3924223
Don't know how long would a card game that partly relies on trapping living things' souls survive. The second someone crossed the legal line with black souls, it'd be over.
But on the general idea, yeah a card minigame would add reasons to explore and care about some minutiae.
>>
>>3924451
The combination of bad, magicka inefficient stock spells and exploitability was why Morrowind's spellcrafting was magical.
I can guarantee people won't be satisfied with the return of spellcrafting.

I see a lot of joke comments, but I will say my genuine desire.

Give faction quests the attention they deserve.

>Keep them lore-accurate (looking at you Companions)
>Actually interesting characters
>Bring back guild ranks (if required for the faction) and require a certain amount of radiant faction quests to rank up
>Side quests within the Faction itself. Not radiant quests, but stuff like "A fellow Fighter's Guild member wants assistance with their assigned quest, help them clear out the Goblin cave" or whatever.
>Give a reward for quests useful to the "class" associated with it (i.e. Muffle boots for Thieves Guild, a Battleaxe for Fighters, a spell tome for Mages)
>Faction-specific merchants that sell useful and unique gear.
>Romance options, both male and female in each faction.
>A place to stay (Skyrim Mage's Guild dorm room type of thing)
>Maybe even add random events related to them, like how you can find Cicero early on the side of the road.

>>3922617
You need to make it with modern audiences in mind. For example how about black skinned nords and inclusion of transsexuals into Dunmer lore.

There also needs to be a feature where you lose a limb and have to play without it

there's literally nothing you can do.

1. The engine will be dated
2. The gameplay will be dated
3. The writing will be terrible
4. The story plotline will be terrible
5. The cities will be 5% of the size of rockstar or CDPR city size
6. Loading screens every 5 seconds

You could make every aspect of it dated and average as fuck as long as the story was hitting hard but you SIMPLY CANNOT DO THIS anymore. Everything is faggy as fuck. The entire AAA dev world forgot how to write masculine realistic stories.
4.

If you're just using Skyrim as a base, all I really want that isn't nitpicky shit is spell variety in general, athletics and acrobatics back, and something to make combat actually interesting or feel any actual sense of danger (which is a pretty big ask for an elder scrolls game).
I would prefer things like guild quests weren't about climbing your way to what should be an office/administrative position that you never actually do anything with, and are more about being able to get special status/favors from the given organizations, but I don't see them doing that.

You push a button and the game plays itself without your input so you dont have to make any of those complicated decisions.

Difficulty settings. Apparently Starfield added more things you can tweak, like how much damage enemies do etc.

>>3924093
>introduce fully fledged radiant AI and expand on it

Are you talking about the radiant quests? Like the ones from Skyrim. Those are extremely boring.
>>
>>3928582
Most aren't so bad, since they're just an excuse to get you to go to the various dungeons that otherwise you only go through for the sake of exploration.
The only radiant quests that really sucked were the ones for just random tasks like the thieves guild and companions. Even the thieves guild is sort of in the spirit of the guild since it's just about stealing special targets. The companions ones are complete dogshit though
>>
>>3928159
>Difficulty settings
That just makes enemies soak and deal more damage. It just makes combat longer and more resource intensive, not more engaging. Enemies' IA remains unchanged.

And even if they aren't, we'll make sure everyone believes they are. The game WON'T be a success if /v/ has something to say about it.

extra hot chocolate mamacitas since it'll be in Hammerfell

>>3928588
Yea I'm still not picking up what you're putting down. I would rather play a single handcrafted quest over 9999999 ai slop filler quests any day of the week.
>>
>>3928858
I'm not defending AI quests or the person who said they wanted them. I just don't think Skyrim's radiant quests deserved that bad of a reputation since they just would be the NPC randomly pointing you towards some dungeon that actually was hand crafted most of the time
>>
>>3922617
Outsource all development to India.
>>
>>3928868
What quests are you referring to though? I can think of a lot of radiant quests that dont operate that way, taking you to handcrafted dungeons and so forth.

>Dark Brotherhood
Go to random location usually in a city, kill someone

>Thieves Guild
Go to random location usually in a city, steal something

>Companions
Go to random location usually a city, kill an animal.

Don't make it woke...
Lol, what am i saying? After slopfield and wokeblivion? Even failout 4 felt woke and they deleted the mod off nexus that makes it better.

New games are cooked. And considering it takes place in hammerfell, I expect all the redguards to be muscular Chads and any bretons Nords and imperials to be beta cucks

Make skills a list of 100 achievements, skill books, skill bonuses, and primary/stone/whatever buffs instead reduce the requirements to unlock them. So instead of just spamming arrows it's things like "Land a headshot from 50/100/150 yards" and so on, getting more difficult and more hyper-specific as the list fills.

This means that your skill number isn't just a result of grinding, but a result of knowing how to play.
>>
>>3928632
>IA
Why do you keep doing this?
>>
>>3922617
make the redguards extremely racist. if you play as any other race they should curse at you, spit at you, call you names, refuse to do business with you, refuse to sell you property, refuse to give you missions etc. eventually the only thing to do would be to kill everyone.

>>3924024
better yet, allow the player to walk in on this about to happen and give them the opportunity to kill them both
