Anyone else have an OCD need to match their characters to their mounts?

Only a little...










I'm still buzzing over getting dro'mathra skin last month, but usually my jiits are all white tigers.

@MamaDruid wow, awesome ! The redguard looks so good. Also love how serious she looks surrounded by her prettied up ponies x)

She's actually an Imperial, @Itacira. It's hard to take her seriously with the sparkle ponies and their sparkle sounds.

Yes, I totally have this problem. I do it on every character too, lol. This is my Halloween one. I wish I had pictures of my others readily available.

Wee bit o' backstory to this one...

So I was bouncin' around Summerset today with my High-Elf Sorc, Eraelya, just making sure I had all of the wayshrines unlocked.
The last one was the northern-most, Veyonder Wyte.

(I figured I could probably get there kinda direct-like by going through the dungeon that is up in the northwestern area of the map, but I decided to try to take the scenic-route and get there from the east, instead.)

Anyway, as I was scrambling around in the northern wilderness, I stumbled upon a little camp somewhere in the vicinity of the wayshrine and found within the corpse of a dude with a letter to his... bethrothed?... next to his head.
In addition to his words to her was the implied hope that whoever found him would deliver the letter and a pendant to her in Lillandril.

To cut the story short, I found her. But in the course of the conversation, she popped-off with a comment directed at Eraelya, dripping with the typical snooty, high-falutin' attitude for which the Altmer are known. apparently even when talking to their own kind.

Well, Eraelya suddenly realized that she was absolutely done with her stuffy brethren, and she decided to turn to the Dark Side.

She traded-in her nicely-dyed (with one of the new Crown Store Autumn dyes, 'Blue Morndas') 'Holiday in Balmora' costume and the new Psijic Charger mount, for the Glenmoril Witch Robes, dyed with the Halloween dye, 'Darkness Ever Weaves,'
and the Zombie Horse.

Oh, and she sought-out a certain shrine and devoted herself to the Blood Matron, Lamae Bal.
And she's moving to a nice little cottage in the Hag Fen once the Witches' Festival is upon us.

(and as further insult to, and repudiation of, her self-aggrandizing kindred, she's kinda sorta thinkin' of turning the Psijic Villa into a huge haunted house, as time and resources permit.)

SHADOW2KK

Heheh aye I do that with my 14 chars hehe.

MamaDruid

Update! I think the Dark Shaman costume - and bald head! - make it look so much better.

Katheriah

If you don't do this you're not taking this game seriously.

BoraxFlux

Daenavir, my Altmer NB on Wild Hunt Wolf with Wild Hunt Memento, Memento takes a while before expiring so applying it as soon as it ends, because it looks like they're entwined together.

nerfworthy

I hadn't realized but I guess my pet matches, LOL, my mount not as much but it's my favorite mount and the only one I've been riding lately.

MasterSpatula

Oh, absolutely. I have characters, not toons, and my characters have stories, backgrounds, etc. I try to make whatever I can make fit fit, including mounts and what non-combat pets they might use.

technohic

I've tried to most the time and often get frustrated with colors looking different on different armor pieces and getting charge every time I try then go mount to compare.

Dr3sden

Not wasted you look good.

ximelolagnia

I think my character is the epitome of that X).

Aurielle

I HAVE A PROBLEM HELP ME.

Currently working on a BG build site, so I broke my five character max rule and rolled some alts for the purposes of having a mag and stam version of each class.

They all match their mounts and pets, of course.



Got this mount randomly while trying to rack up enough gems for the demon rooster, and designed a whole freaking character around it. I couldn’t justify the up front crown cost when it first became available, but since I got it from a pack of four crates randomly, I thought “why not?” Celestial Violet pairs nicely with it.



CUTE LIL BOSMER WOLF. This is technically a placeholder until I get my Indrik. Colours will be tweaked and pet will be swapped out when I have enough feathers.



This will also change when I get my Indrik. The character looks better with the imperial horse and the wolf pet, but I can’t exactly have two characters sharing the same pet, can I? Of course not.



FUN FACT: when you pair that fiery crown store skin with the heavy Outlaw helm, your character’s eyes turn a solid yellow instead of orange. Best bug ever!


I also gave some old characters a face lift.



A frosty mount for a magicka warden! I’m not happy with the pet, though... maybe the new snowy gryphon is a better match?



I hate that Magnus Setting Red looks kind of pinkish in the character selection screen, but it matches the mount well in game. ALSO, THE DEMON ROOSTER’S GLOWING RED-PINK EYES MATCH THE PINK EFFECTS ON SEVERAL MAGNB SKILLS SO PERFECTLY, IT MAKES MY OCD TINGLE.



For the Queen!

Kallykat

Not all of mine have mounts/outfits that satisfy this urge yet, but here are a couple with which I am content...


^(She also has the matching pet.)

Soris

How do you have so many different mounts? I only have imperial and the sorrel one

Most of these mounts have to be bought in the crown store or won in crown crates.

Aurielle, what causes the odd format on your character select screen? Is that some sort of addon or a different country's version or something?

Ah OK, thank you! I have that color unlocked, but I didn't realize it was quite that shade. I need to spend more time at the dye station, apparently, because that dye looks absolutely lovely on your character! Gave her an awesome.

Thank you! I used up all my gold platings just to get that dye! I think it was worth it.

Grizzbeorn

I may feel a slight compulsion along those lines...

DP99

Not so much to match colors, but to match the theme of the character yes. She's based on Princess Zelda, so naturally the horse is "Epona" and the purple torchbug, is her fairy companion.

TheImperfect

Yeah pets, mounts houses and clothing.... got to match.
