[News] Senche-Tiger Mount Confirmed Soon^TM

From the massively successful AMA With The ESO Writing Team

"The Senche-Tigers: The in-game answer is that the differences between Senche, Senche-raht, and senche-tigers are confusing and hard to understand for everyone
but Khajiit. Furthermore, Khajiit seem to sense an intelligence in senche-tigers that other races do not, but since senche-tigers don’t speak, their intelligence is hard to assess. We WILL be adding senche-tiger mounts sometime soon, but they’ll be just slightly larger than their wild counterparts, NOT the gigantic felines described in some of the lore."

    Nice, to make some sense, it should be tied to the Khajiit mane quest line in Reapers marsh.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    The only way will likely be through an external purchase like a $199.99 "senche" tiger underwear or something.

    I have same problem in Age of Conan but when the add Wolf and Tiger mount to that game it work out very well to be honest

    If ZoS make them look good and not like Wolf and Cat mount WoW look like i think it can be real good :)

    The unique style of the game is what is causing these new mounts to be added. Khajiiti mounts have been a part of the ES lore since at least Morrowind.

    If horses remain the fastest mounts, I am okay with this. It would be pretty awesome if the Senche mount allowed you to sneak while riding it (although it would be much slower that its normal speed, however being a cat, it would make sense. Each type of mount should have its own special ability)

    That being said, I'm looking forward to more variety of mounts.

    I recall in one of the Q&A's shortly after launch that they did indicate that each type of mount would have a unique special ability, and that the horse's ability was being able to continue sprinting even after the stamina meter was depleted (as long as you are still holding down the sprint key). I also remember the guar was mentioned as the next mount.

    In any case, it should be a cool addition to the game.

    So what happened to the guar? that was supposed to be the next one, and then they say they'll soon be adding that one? Though ZoS version of soon™ doesn't line up with the rest of the world. Let's hope that it's available in game and not a pay store exclusive.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    I don't like how Senche were relegated to just being feral animals in ESO. I had imagine Senche more of a people rather than animals, with the ability to communicate easily. That's why we have non-Khajiit quadrupedal cats as well as Khajiit ones.

    Apparently, the devs have backtracked on that a little and said that "Khajiit seem to sense an intelligence in senche-tigers," but definitely not satisfactory.

    The way Senche are portrayed is indeed disappointing. The ones we see are more akin to Pahmar in size. Though, we do see giant cat skulls in places like the bone orchard...

    The way I get by is by seeing the Senche as displaced refugees from the Knahaten Flu who are territorial and mistrusting, and therefore very agressive. It makes it feel more like killing bandits in any other race then killing mindless animals.

    As it understand it though, the quadrupedal varieties of khajiit use non verbal communication, and even some among the khajiit do not understand them. It usually falls to a relative (I believe they are refered to as 'sugar siblings') to translate. I believe we see this relationship in various points in the game.

    @ZOS please add the other khajiit varieties! We don't have to have them as playable characters, I just want to see more khajiit varieties and culture :)

    Ha! Someone else seeing the TB 'Soon™'!

    That whole 'soon™' thing was funny for a little while but then just got annoying - I really hope the mods etc. on this forum do not start using it.

    Anywho! Senche-Tiger mount sounds good. Let's hope it can be accessed in game via a quest or stable rather than as a gift for signing up via a third party entity or for buying a plush! I can just imagine the outrage if the mount is only available by the latter options.
    I forget the name of the [TB] 'mod' that got 'soon™' going. I just know I did not personally like him (very valid personal reasons not needing explanation here.)

    I was just thinking, when they add these mounts to the game will there be new food to feed them? I don't think a senche-tiger would eat oats apples or hay... Any speculation on this matter?

    Red Meat (stamina from all the protein), Moonsugar(speed...well obviously) and Fish(carry-weight from the healthy fats and vitamins) maybe?

    I just wish it was race specific (khajiit only mount). One new mount for each race would be cool. Highly doubt Zos will do that though, since they would really need to release them all at the same time.
