I'd love to see a Mount Racing game mode with a course builder, and during the actual race, having the facecams of the players in 1rst-4th place like in the older racing games. It's a real shame to me that racing games don't do that anymore.

You could have people gamble on winners as well.

Personally I think it would be -great- to have tavern minigames in ESO.

Make up a bunch of tavern-tastic minigames, things like dartboards, card tables, drinking contests, dice games, arm wrestling, dance competitions, boardgames, eating contests, magical illusion tug-o-war, juggling competitions, insult fights, singing/music contests, riddling contests, etc. They could even use the same mechanics in different clothing - like, the altmer dartgame could be an knife throwing game in redguard lands, and an axe throwing game in nord territory, an archery game in bosmer lands and a stone throwing competition among khajiit... the card table could be something poker-ish among bretons and a memory matching game among dunmer while a blackjack themed game in imperial territory... the boardgame could be chess in breton lands, checkers in argonian territory, go in dunmer lands and get-a-number-in-a-row in bosmer lands, or such stuff... et cetera.

And it would also be quite nifty if character differences affected minigame chances in some of them... just to throw more varietee into the mix! So for example the arm wrestling contest would give an advantage to high health players (since I doubt the game would be set up to recognize avatar shape - but if that can be coded, I would more love to see a huge advantage for "big and muscular" characters over "small and wiry" ones!), the dance competition might favor high stamina and the magical games high magica (duh)... dart/axe/whatever throwing might benefit from fighter guild levels, the juggling from legerdemain advancement (those nimble fingers...) and of course some games should be completely unaffected by any character differences (like rolling the dice, or the card games, stuff that depends more on luck rather then physical or magical ability)...

And then pick two of them and plop them into every tavern, one to be played against an NPC, and one to be playable with a player opponent... varying all over the place. So one tavern could have for example a dartboard game to be played with friends and an arm wrestling table to challenge the local (NPC) strongarm champion, while the next tavern might have a arm wrestling table to compete against players and a dice game going on in the corner against some shady NPC, while the next taverm might have the dice game to play against your friends and a drinking contest to go against the local master chugger, and the next tavern might have the drinking game against players and a chessboard to challenge some hedge wizard, and the next tavern... you get the idea, right?

And then...

There could be even more minigames outside tavern life! Like... remember that place in Reapers march with the spikeball races and betting on fightes? Why not expand on that? Why not have horse races in the alik'r where the finest horses in tamriel race for a prize, wresling rings in skyrim where oiled nords grapple with each other, an "competition" option to duels in hammerdeth arena where people can duel not just for fun, but also for a prize, maybe even a whole pet race system where various player pets can be trained and race against each other...

I always send what this game needs is more gambling

In game gambling with virtual currency worth nothing is fine. What bothers me is crown crates. Funny how they let us gamble with real money but not wit gold.
