Since spell casters spend so much quality summoning time with elementals, I like to seem them greatly improved.
In Neverwinter Nights 2 they seem too common. The should be reskined. In other dungeons and dragons video games they are better. I like the big brute looking Earth Elemental in The Temple of Elemental Evil. I like the mischievous looking fire elemental in Neverwinter Nights 1. I like in Baulders Gate 2 having a random chance of summoning an elemental prince.
I like to see different color variants to the elementals. Have fire elementals flames that surround them burn brighter the more powerful he is. Have a lesser power earth elemental look like he his made out of dirt. Have a elder elemental look like he made out of hard earth or rock.
I like to see trail elemental effects for each elemental. Earth Elementals leave a trail of dirt, Fire Elementals leave a trail of scotch marks, Water elementals leave a trail of water, Air leave a trail dust of wind.
Have weather effects effect elementals. Rain is bad for fire elementals. The Desert heat is good for fire elementals. The opposite for water elementals.
