Just can't shake the image that the face, especially the ears, reminds me of cartoon 'evil' bats...

Livestock and hunting and fishing and the like are... pretty normal things in a medieval fantasy world. If one doesn't want to kill critters, one can certainly avoid doing so.
Personally I'll continue to play the game my way (where every one of my characters has a story and different motivations and acts differently - one is a vegan bosmer, another is a sneaky hunter, another is a noble paladin who tries to do no harm, one is an evil vampire, while another is a thief - it's fantasy folks. I am actually none of these things in real life.) and try to save my moral outrage for actual issues IRL.
I will say that it's unfortunate that zos introduced this task in a bugged state and I'm looking forward to it being fixed so folks can move into some of the instanced areas and the overland slaughter can calm down a bit (but this will also happen naturally as the I MUST FINISH THIS TASK RIGHT NOW crowd starts to finish).
Darn, I always thought you were a vampire. 🧛♂️ 😉
Re: ESO LUXURY FURNITURE ITEMS — 2026/04/11
The Orsinium Statue, Head & Orsinium Statue Base were actually matched for once and the head fit perfectly on the base plinth.
Put these in my combat area. Looks rather intimidating.

A vegan bosmer... I'm extremly disturbed by your way of playing.
People are worried about mass critter murder wile the real monsters hide among us!
I'm reporting you to Y'ffre for breaking the Green Pact!

Does that seem fair to you?
I obviously refrain from this senseless hunt for squirrels, deer, or the cute little Nixads, but I'm outraged by the obscene spectacle of thousands of players mercilessly crushing everything that moves. It disgusts me.
But what was the need for that?
This game often stands out for protecting certain minorities, and I'm pleased. Why not protect the sensibilities of those who oppose the killing of innocent little animals?
What demonstration of skill or strength is firing a light attack at a hare or a heron?
I hope ZOS reconsiders, and along with the promised fix to the zone dungeons/delves, that ZOS does not continue to encourage this needless slaughter.
On the other hand i'm kind of disappointed by the absence of satisfactory blood splatter. I'm enjoying the penguins little squeeks and the fact they run away but the gore element leve a lot to be desired.
...
Use the macabre vintage set.
Thanks will definitly put this on one of my characters. Surely would have helped for this challenge.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
Whoa 3 digits worth of players, up there with Fortnite and CoD /sQueue last night was 130.
You are a very small minority of PvP players that like vengeance
You haven't logged into Cyrodiil on live for more than a year.
Is the pop cap even 3 digits? Of course Vengeance enjoyers would be a minority of active PvPers, because the target audience for Vengeance is the thousands who quit or who were never able to access PvP to begin with. They're leaving GH up for the 130 that still want it.
I don't log in because forum complaints mean little if you keep playing anyway. When play numbers keep dropping, the devs take notice, like they have in making drastic PvP changes.

Re: Can Walks-Like-Thunder Calm Down Please?
Yes it is possible, very easily so. I recorded to prove it.GeneralGrundmann wrote: »

Re: Werewolf Update From The Combat Refresh Team
With that said, the model is still abysmal. We DO NOT WANT that mohawk look, it looks so dumb. Someone mentioned that maybe it is just because this a still and it will look different in-game with animations, but the weird mohawk needs to go or be severally toned down. We don't need fully furred werewolves, but the giant mohawk down the back is ridiculous looking.
We? Who’s we? The mohawk fits my Nord perfectly who also has a mohawk, so it’s pretty good to me.
Also the mane going down the back is honestly one of my favorite parts of this new model. Makes em look really wild! It could use a few touch ups, but honestly I’m pretty happy with what I’m seeing here. Hopefully we get a decent amount of skill styles in the future so everyone can have a WW look they can enjoy.

Re: The critter massacre in the challenge zones
This game's playerbase cannot possibly sink any lower than this right? Right??
Re: The critter massacre in the challenge zones
Completely understand and for five years lived by this very creed. THEN, I realized the truth of the alternate reality known as ESO..... every single Nixad, Heron, etc., RESPAWNS WITHIN MINUTES.
And guess what? They respawn happier and healthier than ever!!! I kid you not, just look at how happy they are (lol). So there is no death, there is only a Phoenix-like rebirth for these pixel-critters.

Re: I simply love Zerith Var and how far they went with his voice acting!
I also really liked Zerith and he was great to be around. Sharp as well.
I am presently trying to level Tanlorin but they are so grating to me. I haven't used Azander yet so I may drop them for him and see how that goes.
I find Azandar not as grating, and he makes a pretty good healer companion. I did change his outfit though - dude needs something more practical for adventuring than his default street clothes.
