Skyrim was great, but the best way to make it better is to make the next storyline in immeadiate sequence to Skyrim. 1.) Paarthunax leads the dragons 2.) The empire wins the civil war and heralds the dragonborn a hero for ending the rebellion so quickly after killing Alduin. But the Thalmor send death squads to skyrim murdering off believers of Talos in the midst of the post war chaos and assassination of the emperor in Solitude. 3.) You begin as the famed dragonborn, but few know of your heralded feats from the timeline of skyrim. (Allowing for a fame system)

Perks and skills were awesome as well, but there needs to be an additional perk tree, the character tree. Intelligence, Strength, Agility, Endurance, Acrobatics/Flexibility, Fame Current perk trees need more options and the magic system needs a boost. Speech should dictate more than persuasion and prices, followers allowed as mentioned previously is a huge idea along with infamy. Archery sneaks should have a little more discipline. Taking 50% health shooting a nordic armored bandit chief in the forearm is ridiculous on adept with a vanilla bow sneaking. Headshots need rewarded, in both directions. Spears and Lances would be awesome. Building a city as mentioned too. The map should be way bigger, and more exploration into the dwemer disappearance and possibly an explanation ending with the dragonborn finding the dwarves in whatever plane of existence they ended up in. By the map being way bigger, add cyrodil and the sommerset isles. Sailing, and buying ships too. Start the game where all of Windhelm has been executed by the thalmor, the city demolished, and the Emperor announced you as successor before his assassination for your great deeds in the civil war and defeating Alduin. (Of course a steward handles the city. Finally Lydia is useful.) The main quest line should reign dominant, secondary storylines should be done strictly for growing the army to be used to defeat the Aldmeri Dominion. (Thieves Guild recruits the guild to disrupt supply lines, Dark Brotherhood to assassinate Thalmor leaders, Companions to add a front line yielding Wuuthrad against the elves, College to add mages to disrupt altmer battlemages, then add in quests for paarthunax to bring dragons in the fold. The Blades to restore their place as "knights" of the Emperor. Instead of trying for levels of immersion that would meltdown most CPUs, aim for your quests making your progress to the end game achievable. And once the Thalmor are defeated, you have all of Windhelm to rebuild to full glory and the Sommerset Isles to rebuild.
