Video games always take an extreme amount of effort to develop and the workers have to do 1,000,000 hours overtime to even make a CoD rip-off. I understand this, but this game is not dancing in the realms of an impossible axis.

It could also be argued, "This game will require too much moneh, it wont make a profit in this dying economy." This is absolute rubbish though, it may take a lot of money to develop but it is a sequal to a massively esteemed franchise. If sold in the price region of most games in the coming generation, it will make a profit without a need of massive amounts of advertising, this I can almost guarentee. GTAV is a fantastic example of this, it took huge amounts of money to develop but due to how esteemed its franchise was it made an unfathomable profit. Skyrim was a game which earned 10/10s like they were nothing and most people know of it, so if people hear a new one is coming out. They will buy it, even if the game turns out to not be very good (Which I'm not saying it will be), people will buy it and like it. CoD and Battlefield are great examples of this.

In short, this idea is not impossible. It could also make a fantastic design document for Bethesda to work off of. Of course, the idea will change and morphe in to something different but the underlining structure will be similar. My only issue is, I have no idea how much companies listen to the ideas of simple fans. A character or an achievement have been implemented in to games thanks to fans but the very early design document is almost unheard of.

The only think I can think of is to create a proper design document and give it to Bethesda while the game is still in its very very very early stages of deciding where they are going with the game. It might be worth a try, a few ideas might get through. Or we could work our ars*s and heads off and make the thing ourselves XP

Which would probably take forever and a day and a mind-numbing amount of effort, but it would be worth it
