    You do have the option of binding your controls to other keys.

    I know that, thanks.

    I like the standard keybindings as they are, well done Zenimax.

    I don't like the idea to be sent to prison for something, anything, that happened unintended and accidentially, like spilling my coffee over a colleague at work.

    Regarding stealth: when the Justice system goes fully live, who can and who can't see a stealthed character?

    Now: everybody in the same alliance can still see you when stealthed.

    Justice: will we be hidden from only tabard wearing guards or all other players that we aren't grouped with. Worried about 'concerned citizens' using the fact that stealth doesn't work on people in your own alliance to report any criminal activity in zone chat or whatever means for the fun of watching the altercation from behind the safety of their non-combatant status.

    Is it possible that Coldharbor (which is supposed to be a group effort from all 3 factions) and Craglorn could be made multi faction? This would help retain player base by allowing players to group with friends who leveled characters in other factions and would just make sense.

    Please consider changing the color of Veil Of Blades from red to purple or something. I constantly tell people "Don't stand in red.... except that red stand in that red" and you can't see AOEs very well if they are hidden under a veil.
    Also please make enemy standards visually different from ally standards.

    Is there any work being done on the targeting system to make it easier and more accurate when targeting enemies?

    @phreatophile‌ excellent question!

    Others: the Justice System will not be implemented in Cyrodiil, so this question is strictly about PvE zones.

    Thanks, I should have specified that. Might make PVE zones appear even more empty if all the stealthed players are invisible, but the potential for trouble is huge if criminals can be seen while stealthed by anybody not wearing a tabard.

    Are there any plans to create player or guild housing in the game? I know it wouldn't be happening anytime soon but any details would be nice.

    In an interview on the biweekly broadcasts, Paul Sage said Justice System would be too difficult to implement in Cyrodiil.

    Sounds like you know how it could be made to work. Care to share your thoughts in a new thread if I'm right?

    Training at the bank is pointless, isn't it? I thought it only worked if the target had less than 100% health, which nobody at the bank will have.

    I assumed they were just being jerks, not trying to level up healing skills. Does spamming heals in the bank actually work to level up healing skills, or not?

    <3 This one wants pet and ride-able Big Cats, and pet small cats. Kitty knows others do too.

    <3 Kitty wants to save the Real World tigers by donating money through Tamrielic riding-Senche school to the World Wildlife Fund's adopt-a-tiger program (http://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/Species-Adoptions/Tiger.aspx?gid=33).
    Naturally Kitty already donates, but thought her fellow Khajiiti and maybe the other residents of Tamriel would also enjoy such a chance; to ride a trained Senche-Tiger into battle, while supporting wild real tigers in this life. 3,200, is too few tigers in the wilds of Earth, yes? :'(

    o:) Zenimax and Bethesda will grant Kitty's wishes, yes?

    May bright moons guide us all.

    So it does have some practical use? But how can they be building Ultimate when nobody is actually receiving any healing? Surely Ultimate should only build if the heal actually does something...

    I wish Khajiit could sprint on all four paws when they wished to. It would be something fun and unique like Argonian swimming speed.

    Can we please have the ability to craft high level items with lower level "looks"? I'm now VR level and love the textures/colour improvements with the higher levels (so would like to keep quality of texture/colours)

    However, I would love to have some clothes that are in the style of the previous meshes/models. Eg I quite liked the Bosmer wrap around top/skirt combo, but since I''m now VR level the Bosmer stuff doesn't look like that anymore and I'll never be able to craft it to look like that.

    There were quite a few looks from the lower levels that were quite cool-let us have access to them! :#

    Here are my questions:

    1) Will the guild bank access issues ever be addressed (infinite loading of items requiring restart of bank session numerous times and the auto-stacking issue)?

    2) Will you ever add cosmetic armor slots to allow better personal customization? (basically two slots for each armor slot..one like normal and a second one that will show only the cosmetic features if populated with an item while retaining the stats of the item in the primary slot). This would also address the previous post of allowing for the look of lower level crafted items to be useful to higher level players for cosmetic purposes.

    3) Will you ever add a preview function to view what something looks like without having to equip it?

    You gain Ultimate for every ally that receives the buff, even out of combat. This includes pets and even NPCs that you can't attack. As far as I can tell, casting it out of combat doesn't increase your skill.
    If they ever create a Legendary recipe it better contain bacon as one of the ingredients. I'm just sayin'.

    For Update 6 we are making a huge effort to make sure that everything that costs Magicka scales in damage based off your Max Magicka and Spell Damage, and uses Spell Critical as its Critical Strike Chance. Similarly, all abilities that cost Stamina will scale in damage based off your Max Stamina and Weapon Damage, and use Weapon Critical as their Critical Strike Chance.

    Will Critical Surge now buff both spell damage as well as weapon damage?
