If I had to nominate the one single change that would push this game from the "might buy" Category to the "will buy" Category, it would be NPCs. As it is I find it mildly entertaining (no intention to damn with faint praise), but I think it would give me more game-challenging decisions if I had to choose how to build a party.
This is the biggest limitation I find with Morrowind, which is vaguely similar in being a fantasy RPG, moddable (although DO should be a couple orders of magnitude easier to mod!), and also limited to one character.
Morrowind has gorgeous graphics, great magic system, well constructed world, but it's me vs the world. Being limited to a single character means everything starts to get rather same-y after a few levels.
My only option to change the feel, is to start a new character, but then I get pushed back to the beginning. This means I have to go through pretty much the same process to build up, and by level 12 I face the same problem all over again.
Now a fast and furious moddable RPG that lets me tweak my team - that I could get into.
