Necromancer Boneyard race appropriate or more neutral style option

Nemesis7884 · October 2025

The boneyard skill always bothers me a bit because the graves do look a bit cartoonish and do not fit certain races...it would be really nice if the dsiplayed graves where race appropraite; for example if you play an argonian instead grave stakes were used etc... OR if we get a more neutral skill style - for example just an earth mound where skeletons, skeletal hands start coming out of the ground (The summons for example are also race appropriate)

Boneyard in general could be overhauled to be much more interesting.

It could last for 30 seconds, every 6 seconds a skeleton is unearthed and attacks an enemy.

I never understood why it was designed being gravestones like this, versus being, like the OP says, skeletal/zombie hands clawing out of the ground or something actually like raising the dead.

It's one of the few necromancer skills I really don't like the design of. I'd LOVE a more neutral skill style for it especially since it's such a key skill from the class.

Yeah it's like generic Halloween decorations.

Necromancer's design in general is quite bad and looks nothing like necromancers of Elder Scrolls. Like it's supposed to be reanimated flesh, flies, zombies, ghosts, wraiths, harming people's souls etc.

And what we got was Halloweeen Spoopy cartoon that throws skulls, swings a scythe, pops down a graveyard with tombstones out of nowhere for some reason etc. Where are our flesh atronachs and zombies? Where is the dead rising from the ground to grab people?
