Stuff That Might Be Added To Skyrim

After the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim shipped, the team at Bethesda took a week to do whatever they wanted and create content they could add to the game in the future.

As revealed during Todd Howard's keynote speech at DICE, the team designed all kinds of content, including dragon mounts, house building, and spears! Howard prefaced this reveal by saying none of this content is confirmed, and that it may or may not ever come out for public consumption.

The video shown during the keynote can be seen archived on GameSpot. Check it out below. It begins at around the 41:00 minute mark. Here is the list of features that could be added down the road:

  • Spears
  • Seasonal Foliage
  • Flow-based Water Shader
  • Kill Cams for Magic and Ranged Combat
  • Stealth enhancements such as water arose and Assassin's Vision
  • Guards can re-light darkened areas

  • Water currents in dungeons
  • Dark dungeons
  • New follower commands for combat style, training, distance, equipment, etc.

Comments
  • Omg this would be cool but doubt it would come out though :/

  • I'd be happy as long as they added arrow crafting but I wouldn't say no to a dragon mount

  • they spelled arrows wrong

    quote,"Stealth enhancements such as water arose and Assassin's Vision"

  • Giant Mudcrab? Epic?

  • SWEET YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY DO THIS!!!

  • genius

  • That's a great list. I hope to actually see some of it come to light in the game!

  • ALL NOW!! PLEASE! anyways with the creation kit and this list people could just make most of these themselves anyways

  • ALL NOW!! PLEASE! anyways with the creation kit and this list people could just make most of these themselves anyways

  • Yes, please!  Also, thanks for getting that song stuck in my head.

  • How about a WERE-DRAGON who can fly?! A lizard like humanoid with wings! He's Dragonborn and that makes sense. What about Wind, Water and Earth destruction spells? They're basically previous forms of the current ones. Lightning is wind based, ice is water based and  fire is earth based. Also how about we go to another Daedric realm? Preferably Nocturnal's or Azura's. And magic kill cam would be epic! I can just imagine my frost atronach crushing a bandit with his huge arm!
