Elder Scrolls 6: 10 Things Fans Want To See
1. Survival Mode
This is a must. Considering the fact that pretty much every single major mod for Skyrim (beyond turning dragons into famous wrestling figureheads) has been a new survival mechanic, Bethesda would be completely blind to ignore the appeal for it.
It would have to be similar to the New Vegas one, in that it is optional. But considering the variety of climates in the game world, we could see a dozen different survival systems. You could have desert survival in Hammerfell or jungle mechanics in Black Marsh. There is a lot of room to extend beyond the simple food, water, sleep mechanics. Though we'd be happy with just that.
In Bethesda's quest to make the most immersive game possible, hopefully they will come to the conclusion that their efforts would be better spent in creating a survival mode and not in allowing us to chop wood for no reason.
