I wish they would get rid of levels of food, and just scaled it to who ever ate it. It would make all ingredients valuable and useful again.

I know they want to reduce the number of ingredients but I hope they can somehow do this without lessening the variety of things we can find and things we can cook. I like the idea of being able to cook Khajiit style foods for my Khajiits etc and my main provisioner has now collected most of the recipes from all the areas - this was some task!

I don't want to just find "meat" or "fruit" or "fish". The foodstuffs add variety and regional flavour to the world.

The way I would do it would be that you can find bear meat or venison or mutton but can use any of them to make meat pie and to make meat pie you would only need the meat and some flour. Green recipes needing two things, blue three and purple four.

Anyway they won't tell us anything about what they are doing until it goes live on the PTS and I suspect things may be subject to change anyway depending on how things work out there.

Fishing wise (tied in with the provisioning update). I would like there to be only one basic bait and one improved bait. Maybe even get rid of these different kinds of water (which confuse most players) and just have a random chance of getting one of say 15 normal fishes and a number of rare ones depending on area.

Lucky we only need 4 different kinds of bait (there are two for each type of water). But I agree as we don't always know what kind of water we are fishing in. For example Salt Water is not always where you think it should be, and what looks like stagnant water to me may not be that way in the game.

I've been using up a lot of my current ingredients, especially recipes that use tomatoes and oats, and selling them while they're still useful. I also make a lot of the blue level v5 food because those are almost more popular than purple thanks to the tweaks in the resource gains from each. Most magicka builds do as well, or better, with Fortified Sweetrolls instead of any Consummate food. My prices for sweetrolls have risen slightly over the past month (between 40-50g each) or so and for consummate foods my prices have dropped (100 - 125g each), understandably. I used to sell purple food for 200g each, and blue for around 25-30g each.

Needless to say, I'm betting a lot of our current ingredients will go away, particularly the rare, hireling-only ones.
