What would you like to see implemented or introduced in ESO to make the game more immersive?

Please pick the top one in your mind, but then follow up and post comments on what other ideas sound appealing. Also, include your ideas, of course, but remember this poll has to do with immersion and not game mechanics persay.

Children in towns, merchants on the roads with wagons (instead of just clipboards) and better attention to details in Tamriel

Oooops, I'm sorry, I realize there is already a potion that grants stealth. So think of something else instead.

I thought there would be more comments and ideas about these things :P

More varied armor, sword, shield designs between levels i.e. right now VR1 orc armor looks like VR14 Orc armor

I'd want more varied armour and weapon designs, not only for crafting but also non crafted items. Especially in end game.

I'd like to see all of the above become part of the game at some point but you didn't give an option for that

Maybe I'm picky, but I'd like to see more quests that instance themselves to your specific group. Other players are constantly interrupting the flow of my quests. I've had to wait for bosses to re-spawn, I've had my conversations interrupted due to other players dragging enemies toward me or just due to enemies re-spawning on my exact location, I've had to "compete" with other players to interact with quest-specific things like putting out fires, etc... It's not game-breaking, but it's definitely immersion-breaking. It's hard to believe I'm "the only one that can pull this off" when I see whatever horrible monstrosity's waiting for me at the end of a dungeon get slaughtered 5 times before I even leave the room.

Text cha....oh wait I misread the title....

A war horn the size of a siege weapon on top of keeps in cyrodiil.
(On console) there's no real way to tell if there's ppl that need reinforcements when defending keeps and this would alert other in your faction that you need help
No?....dumb idea...ok

Edit: didn't pick the Cyro option cuz I think it would affect the flow in a way

More varied armor for sure, but also a redesign of the various armor in the game. How can you go from the awesome daedric armor in Skyrim, to the less than spectacular daedric armor in ESO?

Slower combat that allows for more action and reaction. In PvP anyway, it's all about the initial burst, which is boring as hell.

Other.
Auction house.... hands down. Its a joke that eso doesn't have one.

Taverns with minigames, more interactive bartenders, brawling circles, more things for players to do together that are fun

It's an MMO. So I think as as always ultimately long-term it will succeed or fail based on how well it can bring players together to enjoy the game & enable interaction in ways that are not possible alone. It's a common-held belief that you start playing due to the game, but you keep playing due to its community and the friends you make therein.

So to me that's the most important thing an MMO can do to not so much make it more 'immersive' but more enjoyable.

Spellcrafting, much like it was portrayed in the video by Nick Konkle.

I would like to see Racial, Class and Name Change options added to the Crown Store along with the ability to make changes to our character's appearance AFTER character creation.

HOUSING!!! and all of the above.

Mini-games make for some prime foundation for Guilds who set up Tournaments. Makes the game more social. It'd be nice to set up tournaments in that spikeball game from that caravan in Reapers March.

Dedicated social guilds could use mini-games to set up events which makes things more fun.
It'd be a nice change for once that something else other than Raffles be the thing guilds do together for fun that doesn't involve dungeons. Would immerse me more than for sure.

Text chat for consoles

Mashille · August 2015

More interactive conversations with townsfolk that actually may lead to quests, but are not marked by quest markers, also better dialogue maybe a speech craft skill line

Most Of The Above

This game has SOOOO MUCH potential that's held back by exploits, bugs and game destroying lag. This could really be the best MMO out there with the combat fighting as it is. With more objectives to fill in the Cyrodil wasteland and get rid of the lag, we'd have more players on here daily that WoW, GW2 and a few others combined.

jackiemanuel · August 2015

Didn't vote because all of the above wasn't an option.

This!

Also, unfortunately these immersion and worldbuilding additions pretty much no longer have a chance at seeing daylight since the game has transitioned to monetized gameplay. If this was still sub-based and it was content depth itself that drove their income then yeah, these ideas might have a chance, but definitely not now. It's just the nature of the beast that ZOS must let the Cash Shop, DLCs, etc drive the design of content.

I almost voted for the kids and wagons etc. I think more interaction with things for groups like bar games etc would be fun and immersive though.

A crafting skill line for certain cosmetic costumes, separate from crown store items and items that can be looted from justice system

Why the hell do some of you want Children around?

Creepy.....weird choice imo...

probably something that adds more things to do in game...more crafting or more potions....

housing is always a good one :P

KewaG · August 2015

I'd like to see all of the above but if I had to choose just one it would be craftable costumes/disguises, and/or a hair stylist and/or a tattoo parlor. Something to change your appearance and promote the creation of unique character designs. Plus, this could work with the justice system to lower your bounty kind of like the Spray n' Pay in GTA.

Having user made content would make ESO pretty awesome. I'd love to see what the community could come up with. Just look at the amazing things the community is able to do with any of the Trials games. I understand that would be a big hit to resources but I would imagine they could figure something out to make it work.

DovresMalven · August 2015

Revisions to the justice system to make it more believable and immersive (notice I did not say make it more realistic) i.e. make guards killable, but don't allow players to become criminal-gods

These would be my big ones:

Seems a bit silly but, TREES. More trees.
Make everything lootable: cups, plates, other miscellaneous stuff on tables. Maybe make it so you can deposit items into baskets or pots.
Children would be a great addition.
And lastly and least, a serious revision of some of the "vision quests" and other time travel quests that really just weird and unlike quests that you might receive in other Elder Scrolls games. For example: the Spinner quest where you experience a part of Aranias' past.. there is just so much wrong with that whole thing. It's just weird.

Since the Tamriel Calendar pretty much reflects our own, Tamrielic Events should be implemented into the game.

This could be used on PC as well, and it could flash a quick alert on the screen of players in your faction to let them know that the fort was in need of reinforcements. This would be a valid reason, @ZOS_RichLambert to use those, rather than the annoying alerts that you deployed for Crown Store offerings a few months ago.

I would like to see 2, 3, 5 and 8.

Additionally, it would be nice to have a Tamrielic Calendar/Time system in game the way other Elder Scrolls titles have.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · August 2015

Abstain, or non of the above, or instead I would like to see . . .

Most of the above. But actual seasons would be nice if possable.

I'd like to be able to choose the appearance of my armor not based on level, but just because I like a certain look.
For example, I would love to be able to craft a Bosmer style V2 cuirass, but have it look like the level 1.

More immersion for vampires/werewolves. Right now, it's just a skill line and nothing else.
