I'd like to be able to dial down the frequency of barking the dog companions make. They bark and whine too damn much. The same goes for the House Carls... every time you move near one in your house, they say something. Put a timer on it or let us adjust the frequency, because it gets annoying when they ask over and over if you need them and whatnot.

And back to the dogs... It's a little silly that there is only one dog breed in this world. At least make them available in different colors and patterns (like the horses) if you can't be bothered to add a few differing breeds.

And I want to echo the OP's sentiments in entry #3. The way carefully placed items end up flung all over the place when entering a house is super annoying.

Overall I am really liking Skyrim a lot. There just need to be some tweaks, as well as bug fixes. I hope some of these things can be addressed in future updates.
