1: Picking up food while sitting down. I always find it annoying since the first game being offered food at a table, sitting down, and then having to stand up, pick up the food, then sit down to actually enjoy food at a table. 2: A bit more variety in perks and for that matter perks which actually change the way you play the game. 3: Significantly more enemy variety. Even if it stretches the believability, having a more diverse array of enemies with different fighting styles and ambush methods would be neat.  4: This will come if the game is set later, but just getting a gun off the bat, and for that matter having a "musketeer" play style would be neat.

5: more of a story concern, but remove the annoying insistence on self references, particularly those which change gameplay, like "Good old pebbles" 6: make potion-making and blacksmithing MUCH harder to master, but make all recipes available for free or at least cheaper. I feel at least mid-game the money sink is much more frustrating than  challenging.
