That's all I see in combat anyways so would be good to see some updates in that department to add some smoothness and overall quality.

That's probably less intrusive thing to do as some other ones would absolutely affect a lot of people negatively because screwed player character models that don't anymore match the one that was created before the change, armour already caused huge backlash, guess zones would be in the same boat if anything getting an actual change, while upscale and increased poly count might do there, same with armour. So yup to upscale and nope to the remake.

I personally think some of the heavy attack animations in third person view could use some improvement as they don't seem to be very visually impactful.

The bow animation especially doesn't make the character feel like they are doing an impactful action in third person.

With the Oakensoul and Empower changes, heavy attacks for some people are very common and some of the animations just don't.

It might also be beneficial to do a pass on the first person visual experience as it's too flashy for some of us to play the game like many of us played the prior Elder Scrolls and the visual indicators can also be a bit hard to follow with regards to red circles.

Revamp revamped visuals of the vampire skills

Skills, but expand it to animations too.

Sorcerer: the summons. Why a scamp? Why does the player character summon the weakest Daedra as a pet? Scamps are awful. I would like more options. Remove transparency off lightning form and morphs.
Screw Matriarch. I am sick of seeing it.
Praying for the day no-pet sorc becomes a thing again.

Templar: fix the jabs animation lol. Also, more variety on some of the spell colours.

Nightblade: More variety on the spell colours. Also, specifically for magblade abilities, turn up the visual effects a bit. I can't see the damn spells. Strife, crippling grasp, twisting path and bow proc have, like, almost zero visuals. Are they even there? Who knows.

DK: poop rocks lol. spiked armor is gross. Why spikes? the dragon blood spell looks absolutely awful. Why does my dragonknight turn into a silhouette with a giant heart??? What is the meaning of this???

Warden: is it an ice mage? Is it a druid? Warden has an identity crisis. Maybe make the magicka morphs of the animal friends skill line ice themed? That'll make people mad though. Guess it'd be a way of putting the new ability skin system to use, outside of the colour filtered teleports.

Necromancer: Beautiful. Lots of nice particle effects and a good blend of blue, green, purple and black. Maybe give the scythe some more particle effects.
Unrelated, but fix blastbones.

Arcanist: Green nightblade. That's my impression so far of the visual effects. I hope that there is more than just green spaghetti shapes and a tentacle. The tentacle spell is a nice reference to bloodborne though, so that is cool. Also, I'll be honest, the runic designs do look neat. Just please give more than one colour for the spell effects.

All of the early areas need a graphical pass, all the models and effects need one too. The whole game needs updating.

Armor, most of them look like they're spray painted on.

werewolfs or werewolves, idk

Notably, the Templar jabs/sweeps. I feel like what we have kind of breaks the lore and feels clunky…

None of them. I don't feel the need for any visual improvements.

I would prefer that priority is given to other things, like for example, integrating main addons as part of the game content and improving the "hide followers" feature (not exhaustive).

I was going to say the same. Armors and characters in general need a bit better textures.

Especially the elf ears, the textures on them just look stretched and really low quality.

And of course, the feet. Good Lord but those look disgusting.

Horses structure. For goodness sake get someone who knows basic horse anatomy to fix them.
Also get rid of hip flaps. They mostly look stupid floating detached especially on robes.
