For me it's not really about improving game play, or adding lots more features, as the game is great in most respects. It's just improving small things.
Dragons, for example, are a royal pain when they attack towns, and so are vampires, because civilians with no chance of survival insist on fighting them. Make them flee into their homes and hide by default. The number of times I've had to reload because a civilian has been incinerated by a dragon later on in the game, or because vampires attacked a town at night while they were wandering close to the main gate, is just daft. They would run and late the guards handle it, so that's what they should do. Dragons also spawn too frequently as the game progresses through higher levels. In fact, dragons could just go completely in the next version of the game, since I think that they are by far the least interesting aspect of Skyrim.
The main thing which needs improving, for me, though is the appearance. They need to work on making the character look better, especially the female faces, which are just not very flattering for many of the races in Skyrim. Also, robes for mages are just terrible. I want flowing robes in bright colours which actually look both impressive and magical, not drab uninspiring garments which are just not imaginative at all. My attempt at a fire mage is build is frustrated by the fact that she can't wear any flowing red robes which glow with a yellow fiery aura. It's these small things that I would like to see changed more than anything else.
One final thing which springs to mind is speeding up crafting. If I want to create multiple iron daggers, and then add the same enchantment to each, it currently takes me an age! Far better to be able to choose how many you want to create/enchant at the same time, depending on the raw materials in your inventory, and then click okay. It would remove one of the few tedious aspects of the game play.
