P.S. Those soy-based Impossible Chicken nuggets are amazing. Pretty much as unhealthy as animal-based processed nuggs, but you don't eat 'em for your health.

The science reported to me by Dr McGregor seems to say that plant based meat substitutes are almist as healthy as the raw plants except for the sodium content.

The sodium content is exactly what I was talking about in your average processed chicken nugget (meat or plant). I love ImpossiNuggs, but I'll never pretend they aren't basically dressed-up salt licks. That's why I enjoy 'em, but in moderation.

Now I've got an idea for the next food-based ESO guild event....

Re: veg*n foods (that's a long-used abbreviation for "vegetarian and/or vegan" in one, in case anyone mistakenly thinks it's a weird form of self-censorship):

I'm not and don't have any characters that are veg*n, but I still use in-game terms like "meat," "cheese," and "milk" pretty fluidly for crafting and RP purposes. Veg*n meat substitutes, milks, and cheeses have been around for centuries in the real world—who's to say that's not also the case for Elder Scrolls? If you want to say that your Apple-Eidar Cheese Salad contains a soy-based Eidar cheese, or you're using almond milk instead of dairy, or young jackfruit pork instead of piggy pork in Sticky Pork and Radish Noodles, no one can tell you otherwise. We had a New Life festival in one of my guilds where we traded foods in a roleplay event, and we all mutually RP'ed that if someone requested veg*n meals, we were crafting them veg*n versions of the recipes.

In other words...loot those cheese slices by that one Hollow City guild vendor with a free conscience—it's non-dairy veg*n cheese if you say so.

That said, I wouldn't complain if more of the existing recipes were tweaked to be specifically veg*an from the start. We already have a lot of recipes in game that many players never use, so it'd be really cool if more obsolete ones were repurposed for diversity and usefulness rather than have even more new ones added to clutter up the database.

Agreed, 100% . This, right here, is the best resolution for those who want to roleplay a vegan or vegetarian character while allowing themselves to use helpful food buffs. The imagination is an amazing thing if you allow yourself to be flexible with it. Since everything we are interacting with in ESO is imaginary in any case, what you say goes when you are creating your characters story in your mind as you play.

This is how I have personally used the game (and every other game, for that matter) it inspires me and serves as a platform for me to act out the stories in my imagination through a character- the quests, and every object in the game is a place for the story to jump start from, but the backstory I'm creating in my head is whats important.

It's your character, in your story OP- if I can allow myself to imagine that one of my characters has nicked the red diamond at some point in his thieving career, then you are allowed to imagine that the cheese in your port hunding cheese fries is vegan.

Since I doubt anything will immediately change, I feel this is the best way one can allow themselves to progress in the game without holding themselves back until new recipes are added.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's crafting related.

Thank you for your understanding

I had, I think it was called Lion’s Mane mushrooms once. I’m told the texture is similar to abalone, though I’ve never had abalone so I can’t confirm or deny. 🙃

I seem to remember there was someone on this forum attempting a pacifist run - only doing quests which don't involve fighting anything. I think they were doing it as an experiment, not play-acting their real-life morals in the game and they said they had other characters they play normally, but still it is apparently possible.

I remember that too; there was some debate if Scouting missions in Cyrodiil counted as pacifist, since you didn’t need to kill anyone directly but it was part of the war effort. And of course there are crafting and Master Writs.

THe book to activate the healing staff is now available in game so you dont have to kill something in order to gain the resto skill line or it's passives. i've seen it many times in the banished cells at the first book case you could in theory run in solo and checjk the book and die without fighting and get the skill line started.
