More public executions/events
One thing I’d love to see in TES VI is a wider variety of public executions and punishments that reflect the culture and laws of each region.
Not because I want the game to be excessively violent, but because it adds weight to the world. Imagine arriving in a city and seeing someone in the stocks being pelted with rotten fruit, a public hanging in one city, or a culture/religion that despises necromancy, burning offenders on a cross somewhat regularly. It immediately tells you what that society values, fears, and how justice is enforced.
Skyrim had Helgen’s and Solitude execution and a few heads on spikes, but after that the world rarely showed the consequences of crime. If someone is executed, people should gather, guards should react, conversations should happen, and maybe your own actions could influence the outcome if you intervene, or engage in related quests.
The events in Helgen and Solitudes are also one offs. With larger scale cities and a wider variety of cities in TESVI, this should create more room for much more prominent religious buildings and culture as well as towns/city folk that can be culled frequently enough without it feeling like people are dropping like flys.
