They should have had Alduin be some crazy dragon priest with his dragon and you can fight each other on the backs of your respective dragons and crib from Dance of Dragons where one dude jumps off his dragon and impales the other dude before landing on the other dragon.

They should have ripped off the dragon based combat from Drakan.

If it would be like the Levitation was in Morrowind, it would be awful.

that is true, but i like to believe they could have come up with a better implementation of in-game flight than their previous attempt that came out like 12 years prior if they really wanted to

Considering how flying works with console commands, and overall how flying works in most First Person Games, not really.

Only hope would be if they rip off one of those 3D Dragon Ball fighting games or some of those Super Robot games, they tend to have enjoyable fighting, but that is a completely different feel than what Skyrim is supposed to be.

Todd just can't stop talking about all those blinking lights. Oh, cut the fancy schmansy lead dev act, will ya? We all got our blinking lights, knobs and buttons to deal with, Howard. I mean at my table there are here are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing - they're *flashing* and they're *beeping*. I can't stand it anymore! They're *blinking* and *beeping* and *flashing*! Why doesn't somebody pull the plug!

But I guess making actual blue sky and soup kitchens and maybe a more lived in city would be nice if its noticeably used.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

well the idea is that they are taking a franchise and stripping away the things that make it good

nobody looks at fallout and thinks "this needs voiced dialogue and more dungeons like Skyrim SKeleton dungeon #218. lol who cares about an amazing main quest that adapts to all the choices you make in interesting and non-linear ways."

Your not wrong, the more I see of this game the more dissapointed I get. I will give Bethesda the benefit of the doubt and watch a lets play before judging the game too harshly, they deserve that much. Bethesda hasn't reached Blizzard levels of sell-out crap yet....I hope.

Consoles killed the Fallout franchise with their popularity among casual gamers and it's because of controllers with four buttons that the dialogue is dumbed down.

You can also blame Skyrim for being popular, mainstream and for making Bethesda well known and thus making them dumb down the Fallout series for their new audience.
