2. A True Next-Gen Feeling World - Weather Effects
We're still sitting on the fence of necessity right now, wondering whether or not all of this 'next-generation' wizardry can actually offer something substantial enough to the player that we couldn't get before. Well with any luck Bethesda are thinking the exact same thing - except they have the means to do so. Can you remember the first time you took a look out into the expansive Oblivion landscape, or really felt the depth and breadth of Skyrim? Say what you like about how unpolished their experiences are overall, the feat itself of coding entire other worlds of this sizeis something that could never have been done on older hardware. Let's see some advanced weather effects - even if they're just cosmetic - add extra flavour to the expansive Wasteland and surrounding cities. Whilst we don't want the annoyance of ducking for cover every time something like an acid rain cloud appears over yonder, a thick Neo vs. Smith-style rainstorm would work wonders when taking on a string of Super Mutants in the dead of night.
