Summon Shade, this is really something hard?

FabresFour

I've always loved the concept of the Nightblade summoning a shadow, but I've NEVER used that skill for a... relatively simple reason?



It’s kind of... not my shadow? I mean, the description clearly says: "Summon a shadowy version of yourself," but instead, I summon a Bosmer?

Is it really that hard to replicate the player character with a red filter? I honestly don’t get it .-.

It means that deep down, in the depths of our souls, we are all Bosmer.

Shade generally juat appears as a generic model of your race and whether you are male or female, sometimes even that is generic. That's how it's always been. Depending on morph it uses a different weapon.

Coming soon to the Crown Store: Shade Upgrade, guaranteed to make your summoned shade look more like you actually summoned it.

I find it hard to believe it's that difficult to do and can think of two MMOs off the top of my head that are older than ESO with skills that make close to exact copies of your character appearance (WoW and ESO).

I was so disappointed by this skill, coming from GW2 to ESO in 2016... In GW2 the mesmer class can summon actual, literal clones of themself, up to 3 at a time. How is that so difficult to pull off here??

I've always wished the shadow were more wraithy/wispy looking

@Juomuuri
Yep, same with the mage in WoW. My guess is that it's not so much that it's difficult, but that Zenimax never even considered to put that much into the skills VFX.

If we can have a skill that summons are unique mount, I don’t see why we cannot have a skill that actually summons a shadow version of our player character.
