2E: Dark Sun
3E: Eberron
4E: Warlord
Things that 5E needs to do:
-Make the use of battlemaps/miniatures the default.
-Make healing fun, magical AND non-magical needs to be an option. Long live the Warlord!
-Make magic items feel magic/mythical. I don't want a dagger +1, I want STING.

"The idea of resting up between encounters to fill-up on hit points and spells struck my meta-gaming nine-year-old as a distinct possibility. "Are you mad?" says my seven-year-old "This place is full of monsters!" "jamesgrahamuk
All characters have a story. Spoiler:

Sometimes that story is short and sometimes it is long. They can be tragic, comic or absurd. Some teach. Some are just to fill the empty spaces in our lives. Rarely it is a transcendent fugue only half remembered but wondered at. And frequently: "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." -William Shakespeare

+1 for spelljammer and Darksun.
Reducing a character to a list of dice rolls and modifiers is not role playing*

On a second thought... the thing I'd like to bring back above anything else in 5ed... is the artwork of Brom and Larry Elmore.

I would bring back the clean and well organized layout of the 2e players handbook (original printing).
3 column format, no needless textures and visual garbage, spells organized by level and name, perfect size font, etc...

As long as the books don't fall apart within weeks of purchasing them, like the 2e books did, then yes, definitely yes. Just because something is a fantasy-based doesn't mean it shouldn't be clear and easy to read.
OD&D, 1E and 2E challenged the player.
3E challenged the character, not the player.
Now 4E takes it a step further by challenging a GROUP OF PLAYERS to work together as a TEAM.
That's why I love 4E.

Yeah I'm with you on this.
Even more, the Monstrous Compendium layout for the monsters. Nice and neat, full page spread with an illustration for each creature.

Minus the easily damaged three-hole punched sheets! In other words, like the Monstrous Manual. (And to tell the truth I really didn't like most of the illustrations, but I did like the fact that each monster had one.)
