Well if you take out person's and put beings in there than it would have to be dragons and or dragon priests

Or take them to the executioner block infront of a crowd and lop their scum heads off!

All the other wars, not very much is known about the, elder scrolls lore is HUGE. Still would like a lot more canon lore written.

I absolutely LOVE elder scrolls lore, yet there is soo much in terms of lore that is missing. The wikis do their best but can only do so much with what the games have given us so far. Considering how much war is involved in the history of Tamriel, very little is known how the legion fought back in its old days or even today. Also needs a more detailed history since all we get are summaries and brief descriptions and if we are lucky first hand accounts.

lol then there should be better loot on the more... adventurous travelers.

To help the world feel much less empty it would be nice to fill the roads with more travelers, merchants, hunters, patrols, thieves, highwaymen, fugitives, prisoner escorts and farmers wishing to join the cloaks/Imperials. Some more advanced features I'd like to see would be mounted patrols and travelling carts.

Hey you could record a few books, with a good microphone and some passion the words will flow from your soul like a dragon shout!

There should also be prisoners in the prisons!!!! Every time I capture a fort there are only skeletons in the prisons, Makes me wonder how long this war has been going on...

Ironically the stormcloaks only have one guy actually wearing a cloak and that's ulfric.

@Khorak That would be one hell of an army to be fully decked out in Ebony! The Empire had a long time to develop those spells too, the mage's guild were too busy fighting off necromancy I guess... Could have lots of moonstone, but I highly doubt it is enough to equip an army large enough to bring the empire to it's knees! Were probably talking about over 100 thousand mers! They would have had to have a bucket wheel excavator to extract that much moonstone!

Would be ultra mad if someone could rename... "Legate Hadvar" 2 Legates adventuring together and cleaning up the last of the stormcloak rebels! Could someone create a hadvar follower mod please?

Not everyone has moonstone or malachite, mango55 is right.

Not to mention all the graphic textures were scaled down for console players and the pc version had no second thought behind it and took the same crappy textures, instead of the original hi res textures the artists slaved over for months.

Considering that the Thalmor are like a government body, meaning they got the coin to outfit their troops in nice elven gear. What would the standard Dominion... minion wear?

If you shout with a closed face helmet, does your head explode? Lore wise of course. Probably why Talos didn't wear a bucket helmet.

Alteration, restoration 2h warrior with good block, pop ebony flesh and when things get messy close wounds. Someone blocks? block bash. Also try getting all the shouts, lots of fun to be there. Elemental fury dual wield maces is fun but gets old after level 30.

I'm lvl 60 and I have difficulties killing an elder dragon, and they are the only ones that spawn! Luckily I stacked up on magic resistance so their dam shouts don't do squat to me.

why don't they do mounted combat then? and speculation? I remember reading in the books like the manual of arms that talked about mounted knights and the equipment they needed. At the very least I want to be able to shout from my horse... that would be unbelievably simple.

In the beginning you see a few mounted legionnaires and then not a single officer is mounted, no stormcloaks ever use horses... strange considering they'd be godly in their own country. Even though there is no mounted combat, the shear mobility would have been necessary in open field battles(even those have gone missing). So what happened? let me guess, someone stole your horsemanship?

Not everyone is super competent at magic, remember magic is dangerous. You must use it with caution, when you charge a fireball in your hands, what is to stop it from burning you alive, exploding or engulfing your arm? When you summon an atronach you have to have complete dominance over it, otherwise it'll break free and kill you! In Alteration, what is to stop your oakflesh from crystallizing your blood and giving you a nasty stroke. Extreme caution must be taken, that's why there is so much inherit risk in magic, that's why only the most devout and studious scholars are wizards and sorcerers. Besides, who needs SAM sites when you got soul gem powered sentries? Whack your game on the highest difficulty and you watch how fast they kill you.

Couple that with their awesome mustaches lol

They would need to work on 3rd person camera during combat and introduce some sort of target locking inorder to get martial arts right. I wonder what the Imperials would have used... now that's an interesting thought.

Also guys remember that Skyrim is outside of Cyrodil, what happens when you drive 3 hours away from a city... It's like you have gone back in time. Considering Skyrim's culture would be vastly different to Cyrodil's I wouldn't be surprised if they were still using sticks and stones.

Does everyone just swing swords and slap each other silly the same way? I doubt it. The Orcs and Nords would have developed a form to take advantage of their raw strength and force. The Khajiit would have taken advantage of their speed and agillity, in game they even have a bonus to unarmed. Pretty sure every weapon's trainer doesn't teach the same stuff. Taking into consideration magic and Thuums over the past few centuries how would have the martial arts change? If this was to be introduced into the game, how would it be represented? Would it work?
