Remember that list of things we want in Skyrim's DLC? (And that list of things we don't want in Skyrim's DLC?) Consider it eclipsed. Bethesda's just released a new video showing off a few of the Skyrim features created during the company's "Game Jam", a week of raw, unmitigated experimentation.
The best news is, it's not all for shizzles and gizzles - some of this stuff may actually show up in Skyrim. When? How? Not even the nine Divines (or creative director Todd Howard) can tell.
Then came the video, and there was rejoicing. Here's a partial list of its contents: seasonal foliage, vampire minions, combinable spells, killcams, dragon mounts, werebears and Thief-esque elemental arrows.
What do you think? Is there anything here you wouldn't give your right arm for?
There are at least 17 Skyrim mods we want on Xbox 360. The game's 1.4 patch is out today.

Snow footprints a must! That mudcrab is also amazing. I want everything in there to be dlc, but I bet we get bloody Thalmor related boredom!

DO WANT ALL OF THIS! HERE BETHESDA, HAVE ALL MY MONIES!!!
Some of those look absolutely fantastic! I personally favour archery, so the omission of killcams was a little frustrating, but magic ones too would be awesome.
Flying Vampire Lord? Hell yeah!
Mounted dragons? Go on, twist my arm!

I realised last night that Skyrim hasn't actually left my disc tray since I got it for Christmas. With that in mind I'm not sure I want DLC as at some point I may need to regain my real life.

Building a home would bring me back to Skyrim. Adoption is an obvious idea but a very good one! I just need better cities and better quests god damn it! STOP ASKING ME TO FIND SOME RANDOM HELMET FROM A BEAR RIDDLED CAVE. Fantastic game but it needs more of oblivions heart then I will waste 300 hours on it!

There really are fun quests to do not just fetch quests if you generally like exploring you can find so many fun things to do and fun quests!

The kids are so annoying that I think adoption is terrible, imagine coming home to 'You don't look so tough', 'Wanna play tag?'. Tag is awesome by the way, I am champion of tag in solitude.

all of these must get released .
i would like them to mod the smithing to include akivari stuff and to be able to make all weapon and armor types in each class
so you could make a steel sword in a deadric stlye it would add varity.
plus the consruction kit .
be able to get a sled pulled by huskies so you can carry more stuff as huskies would fit in nicely in skyrim
plus 100 achievment points for shooting a guard in a knee

Oh shit I think I need to go change my Y-fronts
I would take all of them and anything also they wanted to throw at me and all the extended dialogue in the music. The giant mud crab really done it for me though. More bosses like that or even mages that that cast spells to make them bigger. Now that's a thought

Please Bethesda for the love of god give us horseback combat i'm so sick and tired of having to get off everytime I run into enemy. Let us talk to people while on horseback while you're at it too.
Sidenote: Where pray tell is the Lara Croft sex scene for Bezza? Will they even add it? Has it even been made? When will I stop asking questions making this particular post look like the ending to Lost?

I only just realized that skyrim was missing spears! it would be brilliant if you could collect the like arrows, (although add weight to them) so you could throw them?
I did always wonder why we couldn't set our arrows on fire, i mean... they do it in the movies right?
Mounted dragon? Your dragonborn so its kind of a must.
Clanger67 on 9 Feb '12 said:
Maybe another daedric realm like shivering isles.That would be pretty good.
Bezza89 on 9 Feb '12 said:
Yeah the PC players got Wheatly and the Space Core from Portal 2, so we should get the infamous sex scene demanded by every last Tomb Raider fan ever.
GHOSTY05 on 9 Feb '12 said:
Vampire feeding a must and also the werewolf perk tree would be fantastic!
Enchanted arrows of fire and ice would also be great!
kronk10 on 9 Feb '12 said:
Kill cams for bows is a yes we have them for swords etc spears look good, horseback fighting also is a good idea as is the fire and ice arrows! I like the goblins the most they look brilliant! And i think the skill trees for vamps and werewolves are good as i do not tend to be either one as there not that tempting so skill trees would be a nice extra and would be worth the hassle
glavias on 9 Feb '12 said:
Spears is Interesting, also throw them which would cause extra damage good against large foes, obviously you would have to retrieve them. Ball and chain, these could damage or shatter weak shields, hit a opponent on the head critical strike, causing the foe to flail his weapon about while disorientated, he accidently kills one of the comrades..
Mounted combat like that!!, being attacked by mounted troops (no running away) again spears would be good attacking and defending mounted. How about weapon only and jousting, archery tournament, hosted by some evil tryrant.
That giant mudcrab you would have to climb inside to kill it... Its huge!, as for the Dragon Mount that would make discovering places too easy!!
I did mention a while ago about dark dungeons, there were loads in Oblivion, It used to really crap me up going through some dungeons in Oblivion in the dark.
Yeah I always get carried away, I should get it on PC with all the mods.. But I just prefer Xbox joystick version.. That's the trouble with games we love we always want more!
GHOSTY05 on 9 Feb '12 said:
Dark dungeons would be brilliant!
To be honest all i want is the vampire and werewolf skill trees and that vampire/bat flying combo (aka marcus from underworld)
glavias on 9 Feb '12 said:
I have fought Mud Crabs tougher than you,,, What the F...K!!!
I would like to smelt down armour I find into ingots.. another Perk for Smithing.. Maybe get my wife to wear stuff I give her instead of the same old clothes.
Since we are talking Skyrim, random I know... For some reason I resent killing Giants!! They seem so peaceful. So I try not to kill them If I can... But those big toes sure are useful in Alchemy..

I would say that they must bring back spell creation, that was great in Oblivion. Still can't believe it was left out in the first place.

This is something both Windows 8 and the Xbox 720 (or whatever it's actual name is) can get aboard on. As Windows 8 will (according to rumours) be able to play Xbox Games, I assume you will be able to add mods to your hearts content, like with the PC version. So could this work vice versa? The apparent power of the new generation Xbox should/could allow it to have the freedom of a PC, maybe incorporating Steam, and in particular, Steamworks, as this will allow players to mod their games without messing with the disk or installation files as the Xbox would do it for them.

i was wondering if someone at oxm could go to mircosoft and find the people who are respnsable for the creation kit not to be released on the xbox and kick them in the nuts and don't stop till they release it

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllll
(hope it comes soon)
Rubes90 on 12 Feb '12 said:
That shit was off the hook. If they were able to put everything in this, It would be sick.
Jabraham on 12 Feb '12 said:
Does anyone know where i can email Bethesda about putting all of this in?
ATATCCU on 13 Feb '12 said:
How about a Ringmaster perk where you can create your own circus. Naturally it'd have to be along the 'Mr Jolly' lines and 'you Dwarves, no hitting the giant'. Make it dark like The League of Gentlemen!
