The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim director Todd Howard has some ideas he garnered from a company-wide creative session at Bethesda for DLC for his team’s mega-hit open-world RPG. Howard expressed that the following are all “experiments,” but who knows what could come of them?
I especially like the idea of dragon mounts, but with fast travel, it’s hard to see a use for them other than for your own ego. Spears also seem like a cool idea, as I’ve always been puzzled why these weapons have been decidedly left out of all previous incarnations of The Elder Scrolls. Regardless of whether any of these actually get implemented, it’s nice to see that Bethesda is still thinking about Skyrim.
Some of the other ideas to be added to Skyrim mentioned at DICE 2012 include:
Kill cams for magic
Water arrows
Giant mud crabs
Paralysis runes
Seasonal foliage
Speedy water currents
Dark dungeons
Adoption of children
Advanced home building
Epic new mounts
Fast travel portals
Kinect dragon shouts
Enhanced water visuals
Ice and fire arrows
Lycanthrope perk tree
Vampire imp minions
Goblins
