If climbing were to be included in Elder Scrolls 6, then you'd expect it to be a leveled skill (like Acrobatics as you mentioned) with a skill tree, and associated enchantments and potions. And, of course, there would need to be dungeon puzzles involving climbing.

Frankly, I can't see climbing included in ES6 without going all the way with it... And I don't really want to see climbing given that much attention.

In too many games that include climbing, it becomes the focus. It often feels too gimmicky.
