Dovres' list of a few things that could bring ESO home as a worthy Elder Scrolls title. Some of these thoughts may be radical and impracticable.

Leveling and Questing

Do a massive reworking of the quests that encourages exploration, and doesn't feel like a grind. The questing should be much more open, allowing the player to travel unrestricted across the massive beautiful world you've made. The path the Vestige takes across Tamriel should be up for the player to decide.

Factions and PvP

It is pretty clear that dividing the small community into three factions is just making us feel like we're playing an empty, dying game.

Choosing your faction should come about the same way that the Dragonborn chooses to side with the Stormcloaks, Imperials, or the Greybeards in Elder Scrolls V. Factional-less players should have a Cyrodiil that is purely PvE they can quest in, or just be considered a fourth "faction-less" team who can't claim points for any Alliance.

Combat

Just remove classes, skills and the 1-5 hotbar. A controversial move to be sure, but bringing ESO back to a traditional Elder Scrolls combat couldn't hurt. There should be the two hands, with equip-able spells (taken directly from the other games). Make the "hit box" of players much smaller so aim is more of a necessity. Ultimate abilities can stay and be treated the same way as Shouts in Skyrim. Add racial ultimates. Dunmer "Heat of Ancestors" Nord "Ysgramore's Rage" Argonian "Void Form" Bosmer "Tame Beast" Khajiit "Cat Eyes" Altmer "Unending Magic" Redguard "Sword Dance" Orc "Strength of Malacath" Breton "Absorption"

Clicking to attack and blocking and dodging are much more interesting that spamming abilities in an unbalanced game.

Immersion

An in depth revamp of first person gameplay including fixing buffs that cover up the entire screen, etc. and making nearly object intractable from cups to individual books.

The ability to drop items from your inventory into containers in the world would massively increase the liveliness of the world. I look in a pot "oh.. that guy must have left his Lust Argonian Maid volume here..." C:
