Dark Brotherhood Crown Crates Look Great, But...

Edit: speaking of crown crates, when will the Sunken Trove creates make a return?

That's the most out of place thing I can remember from ESO, no other glowing gummy bear like mounts doesn't even gets close to that. That's probably what some modern audiences asking for though so tough luck to us seeing it in Tamriel.

It's not a big deal if you don't take ESO's lore seriously, it actually solved a lot of my issues with the game's writing and crown store things available. Still prefer classic Elder Scrolls stuff myself, meaning Morrowind - Oblivion era's visually and lore wise without all the modern world connections leaking in.

Really? More out of place than the Plague Husk Horse? 😂 This is just a big beefy Khajiit that has adorned itself in multi-colored flowers. It glows a little, but based on the preview image, it doesn’t glow any more than the other glowy mounts we’ve gotten so far. In fact, it’s toned down compared to many of them.

Yeah, I'm looking at such stuff more like: does it fits in any possible way in Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim's settings, by any stretch. Your example fits even without a stretch looking at Arvak you can get in Soul Cairn. Undead stuff in general fits pretty well with any title really, same as grotesque and abominable. But "this" fits neither and it's taking me away lot easier from the fantasy of Scrolls than some magical Psijic gummy bear or some shiny horse.

How odd! They’re just flowers. When last I checked, Tamriel’s got an awful lot of those lying around.

Aren't there bones and flames at every other corner also?:) I'm not talking about how common the element of it is in the world, I'm talking about whole deal and how it fits in the franchise's world that I was presented to through the years. And it doesn't really fit visually nor thematically for me. A lot in ESO doesn't recently but that's another issue I'm not going to touch.

What's that creature in the pink shirt? I don't think I've seen something like that in ESO before. Somehow looks roughly like a Breton, but... smaller?!

I’m also talking about the whole deal. There are no green glowing undead horses in Tamriel that puke green glowy goop everywhere — except for those that came out of Crown Crates. There are, however, plenty of ordinary-looking Senche-Rahts in the game. Aside from the glow, this new mount is just an ordinary white furred Senche-Raht that really likes flowers. A lot.

Yup!

Awww, what a nice memory! My grandmother used to do the same for me for my Bionic Woman doll! 🥰

Bahahaha! The upgrades!

I'm picturing this Senche-Raht stomping up to their nearest florist and having the following conversation:

"Just give this one all the flowers you have. Wait, wait. This one worries what you just heard was, "Give this one a lot of flowers." What Khajiit said was, "Give this one all. the flowers. you have". You understand, yes?"

Yes! I actually made clothes for my sister's Barbie too even longer ago (she's around 12 years younger than I am). She still has the case with all of them in it (well, my daughter has hers too) which is really sweet.

Well, I have enough seals to buy this mount, but I might spend some ESO+ crowns on the 25-crate bundle. Maybe I'll get lucky, but more likely I'll have to spend the seals anyway. I previewed the mount and it's cool. Love the flower when you mount up lol.

Looking forward to riding into battle in fabulous style!!!

Thee_Cheshire_Cat

This thread should have come with a warning not to be drinking anything while reading comments. i almost choked a few times. lol The little kid putting lipstick on the mount almost took me out.

Neverending Story came to my mind. Only someone with wings growing out of their back will find that attractive.

You're right. I love The NeverEnding Story (the first one)! And I have wings growing out of my back...



I bought this mount with Seals of Endeavor ASAP.

If only I had enough SoE left to buy "Recall of the Outer Darkness". Nevermind... I bought it with Crown Gems.

My first thought upon seeing it is the senche raht appears angry that someone dressed it with all that frilly fru-fru.

This Senche-Raht are people, I'm a bit disappointed by the second Khajiit companion as having an Senche-Raht companion who was also an mount and commenting on your riding would be fun.

That’s what makes it so fun and hilarious. In my head, I imagine that he’s a fierce warrior who lost a bet after a little too much moon sugar. Or he’s just humoring his ja’khajiit, the way guys will sometimes wear pink tutus to humor their five year old daughters. Or that he just really likes flowers and will rip the throat out of the first slow-pawed shaveskin that dares insult his tastefully decorated tresses.

Yes or he worked on an farm and tried to make an spell to buff plant growth.
Well this one is only here to farm

In all seriousness, this is just ugly. Players will use it for a few weeks and then it will disappear once the novelty effect wears off. The legs coming out of a shell was more lore-friendly and way more humourous, even if it's not a mount.

The current crate contents mean it's now likely that I'll acccumulate more than 2000 for the first time ever.

People said that about the Molag Bal polymorph, and yet, dozens upon dozens of Lords of Domination continue to break my immersion every day.

Has anyone looked at the dark side of the crown crate blodmoon - there you see a cut and this is another annoying design.

I've already had several people today ask me where I got the new mount "Ardor's Devotion Senche-raht". And that has never happened before with any other radiant apex mounts that I own. So apparently it is attractive...

And this is what I almost feel like riding my new mount:

AzuraFan

I bought this mount this morning (struck out on crates) and I love it! And it roars! And it shoots sparkly things from its tail whenever you jump. I'm glad I had the seals for it.

Anyway, I have this set as my mount for now (usually I use favourite). Thanks to ZOS for this one. It's unique in a good way!

Smaxx

First time I saw the new mount's picture I was also like "Ew!" but the more I look at it the more tempted I am to actually get it.

I mean… Just loke at him(?). I can totally imagine meeting that big one in a backstreet of Rimmen with a mate and he'll be all like…

Charlie. We found a map, to Candy Mountain, Candy Mountain Charlie.

Yeah, Charlie, we`re going to Candy Mountain. Come with us Charlie.

Yeah Charlie, it`ll be an adventure. We`re going on an adventure Charlie.

And my name isn't Charlie, but I'd be all up for it, yes? Every Khajiit dreams of Candy Mountain, so who am I to judge?

The NeverEnding Story was my favorite movie as a kid -- so much so that I broke the VHS tape. Whenever I see one of these mounts in the wild, this now immediately pops into my head, and I smile:

https://youtu.be/2WN0T-Ee3q4?si=VjQ2K1B6nLgUJerr

And there's nothing any of the grumps who hate this mount can do about that. My only disappointment is that I cannot zoom around Tamriel on this majestic Khajiit myself. I'll save my endeavors for his next appearance (assuming I haven't quit the game again over the constant ping spikes by that point).

It's growing on me.... I'm considering buying it with SoE on the one account that has enough of them. I'll rename him something like "Flowa Powa KILLER"....
