And Guys, please don't worry so much about the technical feasibility! I can tell you it would be easier than you think.

When housing storage was added, ZOS was asked why they did not simply give us more bank space or backpack space. And I believe they stated that housing storage is instanced locally to the house in a way that required much less overhead than bank space or backpack space. So I am guessing that while they could do what you are suggesting easily from a pure coding point of view, it would introduce the exact data and performance issues they were trying to avoid when they did storage coffers the way they did.

Some of these which bother me I can adapt to — the flash when doing scrying for instance. I don’t know why they decided to make the screen flash, but I know it’s coming and can momentarily close my eyes.

There is armor I won’t wear because the effects bother, including Darloc Brae (doesn’t bother me when others wear it, but if I use, I feel like a migraine is coming on). Certainly some pets and especially mount summons and and recalls are obnoxious at best and if I had a way to not see (or hear) the explosive/meteoric/whatever effects, I’d be glad for it, but my number one problem is much more subtle.

Flickering lightning. I love rain, in game and irl, but the constant flicking lightning really triggers me and I have to stop what I’m doing and relog, change characters, or move to a different zone (and sometimes the weather I swear comes with me so I have to change switch characters anyway. The frequency with which this happens and the degree to which it disrupts my game (I can’t wait for a player to pass or adjust where my character is looking, but have to completely stop what I’m doing) is what makes this the number one pain point for me.

I pictured him more in a tutor role as royals tend to have. Aren't all Altmer supposed to have an affinity for magic?

All, except for Estre.

That's a nice screenshot; Estre looks like she's about to cartwheel through the portal. It's funny, I just did that quest the other day on an alt, and I'd forgotten how abrupt it was: you inform the queen Estre is the Veiled Queen, and Estre silently portals out two feet away, and you just...let her. Guess it would be rude to interrupt the queen while she's talking.

Right, so why is he spending his time with the Fighters Guild? Spending enough time to consider Merric a second father, no less.

Maybe the prince's father (what ever his name was) has secret plans to remarry and produce a new heir, so he has to get rid of the current one somehow. What's better for that than sending him to dangerous missions, a war, etc?

King Fahara'jad. I would have thought, after the murder of one of his daughters, he'd be less likely to play fast and loose with the lives of his children, but here we are.

I think the best they could do is have the leaders sign some kind of ceasefire treaty, where everyone gives up possible claim to the throne, and they promise to remain within the borders of their respective alliances. Of course that would leave room for all kinds of Cyrodiil shenanigans by those not bound by the alliances *cough* Telvanni *cough* but I really doubt they would declare a clear victor within the scope of ESO lore.

What would we do with Cyrodiil? Is there anything of use there?

If there was, I'm sure you'd find it.

Lol! Well, at one point Lyris (I think) speaks of Abnur and Mannimarco as a matching set, like they couldn't have one without the other, which did make me wonder how Mannimarco fooled Abnur. Or maybe he didn't, and Abnur just calculated how useful he could be to the empire. Turns out he miscalculated in the end, but treating Mannimarco as a piece on the game board would fit with his general world view.

I actually think they were aware (or must have been aware, at least...) that Mannimarco was a necromancer and most probably not the most trustful person. Still, they were careless enough to entrust him with the ritual. There's a saying here about how "greed rots your brain", and I sense this could have been the case here.

I like that saying! I think Mannimarco probably also preyed upon Varen's feelings of being an imposter. "Sure, you're the emperor now, but everyone knows you're not the real deal." Only said more elegantly, in that condescending way Mannimarco has. A greedy, insecure emperor...hmm...maybe it was for the best that he didn't remain on the throne for long.

Does it have to have the capacity to hold something within it? Because if so, that narrows your options down. An unbreakable container...hmm...they don't have access to plastic. Something made of iron? An iron lockbox, perhaps. Don't go to the same person who crafts the boxes for the Thieves Guild, though: those things are very easily opened and pilfered.

I don't think it has to, so you could just use a brick, an iron rod, or a grain of sand as a phylactery.

Then I'd say use a pebble. A nice, non-descript pebble.

Nixads are fascinating. They're obviously intelligent, highly mischievous, and I think the only Mob in the game with a 100% chance to dodge your first attack.

Hi forum friends. I just came back after a 6 month break. I just need some builds to update my characters. I mainly do dungeons and maybe a trial here and there. I not looking for niche builds.
Also are subclass builds effective in trials? I'm not sure if I'll be doing trials yet just trying to get back into the game. I've played eso for many yea4s and I'm aware that most trials guild peeps end up using the most effective cookie cutter builds cos they get the job done. I am not adverse to such builds if they work well then why not us them.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Nixads are pixies.

In Vateshran Hollows, the mid-boss of the Brimstond Den is the Magma Queen, an oversized nixad. Speaking to Aydolan after that confirms that she is a "pixie."
