I know many won't care about stuff like this, since they play mostly to get sweet loot and do high damage and see high numbers on screen.
But I know there are many of us who enjoy the world of ESO and how beautiful it all is. Just travelling around is already a reward seeing the specatular sights we have.
That being said, I've always felt there are so many small things that could help a lot with immersion and make our characters, NPCs, and the world, deeper and more immersive.
For example, wind! seeing the trees and plants moving. I know there are already some very subtle animations for many things, including some trees and grass, but I mean MORE wind!
like in some areas of the witcher 3 it can be really strong

imagine skyrim with wind like this, it would make everything feel less... static! the wind could also interact with our hair and clothes, like in FFXIV
also being able to climb over small rocks/fences/mounts/logs. jumping over everything looks too mechanical at times, just adding that simple feature adds some variety.
speaking of jumps, we could also have more variety, what about jumping from really high? we could have a different animation, like in the Assassin's creed games. same for jumping into water, many games change the jump animation in those cases too.

Speaking of water, what about actual ocean waves? we can hear them but the ocean is calm as a teacup. Also,I'd love to see our characters getting wet, after we jump in the water or when it's raining. Imagine putting on a cloak when it's raining and windy and riding your mount, with a very dramatic effect of the storm roarint around you!
and speaking of water again, one thing I loved about BDO is seeing random puddles around the world, in the road, mud, it also breaks a bit the monotony of the setting.
some things have been improving, like city design. in the vanilla zones, many of them were pretty lackluster having like 2 types of houses repeating over and over, and now we have some more variety in them, in roads, streets, everything that makes a city seem more alive.
These are some of the things I'd love to see myself, what are some of those you'd ike to see? (for those who care about stuff like this, of course)
