Yeah that's kinda cheap...pity. Isn't that what Hircine's Ring was supposed to do? Stop Werewolves transforming except when they wish it?

every full moon your character should seek out the nearest NPC and kill it, while you watch through your eyes, helpless to prevent it.

Dumbing down all the way. I hope there will be a mod that forces us to turn and hunt every full moon

I encountered some hippy nords just a minute ago. They offered me a strange named mead. I usually don't take drinks from a stranger, especially from a half-naked man, but I had to accept the drink since there wasn't an option to turn down the offer. Nothing weird happened, yet.

A Bounty Hunter mod where you get paid for taking down bandits and the like in a more open world way (no quest to activate.)

During the Companion quest line, you can talk to one of the Companions for such a quest: a randomly generated criminal had escaped, and you are to track him down and kill him. The criminal moves around on the world map (for great distances), and you get a quest marker to his whereabouts, so you can chase him down.

Perhaps you can take a look at how Beth did that and improve it...
I was thinking about having Bandits carry a certain item that can be collected and handed in to either the City's Captain of the Guards or the Jarl's Aids... *what is that S term that means Jarl's Aid...* who then pays you a certain amount. Like woodcutting and Farming just instead of being safe its full of danger...

It's practically stated the Dovahkiin feels the urge literally from his very soul to dominate and control everyone around him.

Uhh, citation needed?

I encountered an Argnoian on the path offering me some stamina potion. I decided to try it out, what;s the worst that can happen?

 Also duuuuuuuude, this water is like, sick or something.

Werewolves doesn't make sense in this game anyway. You can decide when to turn.

What happened to the good ol' full moon thing? That was a classic.

It was the same way in Daggerfall you know.

You can change voluntarily once a day.  You had to kill two people a month though.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

Paarthanax. I can't dig up the exact quote, but chat with him about the nature of being a dragon. He notes that dragons have an innate desire to dominate, kill, and destroy, and that being a Dragonborn, so do you.

In other words, he's saying all dragonborn are controlled by players. :P

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Unless your main gripe with Skyrim was "lack of underage, under-dressed, bug-eyed anime girls" I don't think "mods will fix it" is a valid response.

That explains the reason of Dragonborn's ultimate quest to become the leader of all guilds.

Or your awesome job of killing anything in front of you that breathes of threat.

Seneschal is the word you are looking for I think. Ears would be the traditional token taken from generic slain bandits, although the bounty payer should be specific about whether it is just the right/left ear that they will pay for, as no bounty hunter wants to lug around several hundred pounds of useless gristle if they have no need for it. In cases where it is a specific/named bandit you would want to deliver the head for proof.

The way I see it, I'm a couple pages early.

I've spent a while trying to think of a way of averting telepathic questgivers, but it always ended up sounding silly, such as them having an ability to immediately recognize that an ear belonged to a bandit, or the player running around with a hundred kilos of "quest heads" in case they might be useful later.
