Right there, how would you have created ESO if you were the lead in it's design? would you have kept the main quest? would you have kept the PvP portion of the game? would you have added miscellaneous features such as being able to sit on any seat you come across? This is what I would of done.
- Removed the Main Quest line but the plot would of stayed the same, at the start however you would be but 1 of countless nobodies escaping coldharbour
- I would of not made the IC a battle zone but instead the one city in Cyrodil where the Imperials have control, the arena would be the PvP element in the game where you could fight 1 on 1 or have 10 vs 10 and so on, I would have also added dualing options when communing with other players, Cyrodiil wouldn't of been a PvP zone either as I mentioned before the Arena and dualing options with other players would be the PvP element, Cyrodiil itself would be a zone where legions of daedra pour fourth from portals requiring large numbers of players to take them down, the main goal would be to protect the imperial city and reclaim the keeps from the daedra and players would still get AP in doing so, the same mechanic would follow here where the one with the highest AP would become Emporer however becoming Emporer would be much harder as their would be one leaderbored instead of 3 so the player who would become emperor would be the player with the highest AP of everyone in Cyrodiil not just who has the highest AP in your alliance, when you became emperor you would also get the option to create a banner that is hung around the empire much like you can make tabards for guilds, The picking of your character's alliance would of been non-existant and instead you simply would of picked your starting area, joining the army and the side to fight for would of been optional and you wouldn't have to sign up for service to get into cyrodiil although that is the only way you could become emperor.
- Added features that would of made it so the game is less combat oriented and more useful for RP, maybe have it so you can play the game and live your characters life without ever picking up a sword, this would also mean that the location of enemies would make more sense so bears aren't standing right next to daedra who are standing right next to the town guard,
- Guards would of been killable and all fights would of been slower paced and relied on skill more then who has the highest stats, the enforcer system would be included.
- I would of ensured ESO had at least 2 more classes as what is there clearly looks like 2 classes are missing, I would add Necromancer as everyone seemingly would want that alongside the warden class that used to be in the game back in early Beta...either that or I would of removed the concept of classes.
- An option to write out your character's backstory would of been available and the character creation would include elements from Daggerfall where you choose strengths and weakness's such as forbidden weaponry, tolerance to pain and so fourth.
- Vampirism and Lycanthropy would of had meanings and be much harder to get rid of, Vampires would burn in daytime if they were not covered up while becoming stronger at night, they would of also had fangs and would of bitten there enemies other then feeding through a tube, Werewolves would have nights where they are forced to turn and kill just like they were in daggerfall and both creatures would also get their proper resistances and even be attacked on sight when their nature is revealed, I would of ensured only those who are willing to pay the price for power would play as vampires and werewolves so they would be somewhat rarer, when your in werewolf form you wouldn't beable to gain a bounty for obvious reasons and having your supernatural presence known would have brought vampire or werewolf hunters into the area you are preying on who would be challenging foes who would attack you on site, you would also get recognition of what you are from NPCs.
- More transformation options avalible to the player such as other breeds of Lycanthrope, they would function similar to the werewolf only with different sounds and maybe a few tweaked abilities and maybe even a Lich Transfomration with all its Benefits and Negatives.
That's what I would of added, I would like to hear what the community would of added if they were in charge of it's creation.
