Just came up to my mind : How about Guild Skills for Unarmed?
Ideas for Unarmed Class Skill & Weapon Skills have been talked a lot in this forum, but not many talk about Guild Skill Line.
There are lore information about Dunmer Martial Arts mentioned in Morrowind dialogues, Temple of the Two-Moons Dance that exist in-game, with NPCs training Khajiit Martial Arts, Whispering Fang style mentioned in Skyrim dialogues, etc. Hand-to-Hand Martial Arts definitely exist in Elder Scrolls universe.
Then perhaps, there could be Martial Arts Guild in ESO?
1. Aldmeri Dominion : Temple of Khajiit Monks practicing the Khajiit Hand-to-Hand Fighting Style.
2. Daggerfall Covenant : Redguard order practicing Hand-to-Hand martial arts? Orc Stronghold that values pure Unarmed strength?
3. Ebonheart Pact : A small clan of Dunmer House practicing old Martial Arts tradition.
Such would not be so off-lore for Elder Scrolls. They fit into the game.
Add more quests doing brawls. Tavern Fights. Martial Arts matches. Make Guild headquarters into a Boxing Ring. Or bring back the Arena (locations) and add brawl rings into them.
There's already a quest doing a brawl with Naryu - they could make use of the feature more. Perhaps change existing quests a bit too. Like the duel with Nords in Ebonheart. Right now it's a drunken fight...with weapons. Change that into Drunken Brawls!
As for the skill Line it could be just Passive Skills like DB & TG, or a fleshed-out skill line with both Active and Passive - like the three non-dlc guilds.
You can easily find ideas for Unarmed Skills in the forums : Kicks, grabs, etc. Passive Skills that increase Weapon/Spell Damage when not using weapons. You can find a lot.
Now that I think of it, there's the Argonian pirate Iron-Heel at Blackheart Haven who kicks you off the cliff. With a actual kick animation!
But along with those, some quality-of-life patches could be nice too. Some I could think of are :
1. Skill Bar Swap with Unarmed. Honestly I can't see the reason why not.
2. Better Animation? It's a bit slower compared to 1H swings. Make them a bit faster perhaps (not too fast - just match it with 1H speed I guess). Kicks too maybe - as said, the animation exists already.
What do you think of the ideas?
Anyway, let's stick to talks of builds, funny stories (like the time I got jumped by 8 AD as I rode across the bridge and they bashed me to death as I fell out of my chair laughing), map strategy, which in game snacks you prefer, and of course... Ice trebs.
,I'm going to furnish it by sort of copying old english contry houses,so, Grand,but a bit tatty around the edges,( High Elve Chic ! )
