oi, i dont think i can really settle on one but i will do my best. i think the biggest mistake in general was the corpratization for lack of a better word of game studios as they grew and hired staff they gradually listen to their internal staff more then their fans as a result they gradually loose touch with them, on top of that you have foul things like marketing and other executive meddling that alter the game and a corperations goal is to make profit so of course they are going to go public bringing in the vultures to take yet more control from the company and those that made it. eventually the people that make it split and your left with a bugman in a skinsuit that cant create their way out of a papper bag hiring based on chckboxes and quotas with their design process being similar resulting in a product that has little soul if any inside it but thats fine your buddys at game site 9000 will spin up hype and promoted results anyway for early acesses and other favors,
well i could wish in one hand and shit in the other... but what the hey i myself would like elsewhere or black marsh to be the setting with unexplored areas like this a lot of things can be bussed in like why the argonains are basicly thralls to those hist trees... or something radical like the dwemer coming back with the player either being a returning dwemer or the catalist for the return... and their return causes a major shitshow this would also be a drive to add more technological innovations into the setting i would also like a return of drunkenness from arena and perhaps expaned on with drugs and such being very potent boosts with drawbacks would also like to see some elements of fable to come into play too dont take care of yourself and it will reflect on your characters apperance so stay away from the skooma and sweetrolls... well i got more but this is a wallo text.
yeah anymore it seems the only way they try to make a charactor have personality is solely based on who thay wanna bang or as a flat one dimensional propaganda vehicle... hell the planeteers did that last one better then a lot of modern attempts.
and the orginal of the person after fry de activates the last copy she leaves as he has more or less outlived his usefulness.
