Crown Store Dogs

WraithAzraiel

It's cool and all, finally offering dogs and whatnot.

But my wife and I have a huge problem with their model.

Bravil Retriever.

Shornhelm Shepherd

Alik'r Dune-Hound

Windhelm Wolfhound


None of them have teeth, or a tongue. It's just a gaping maw with no detail.

It's kinda disturbing.

The teeth were removed to keep them from biting their new owners on purchase from the crown store.

The tongues were cut out to keep them from talking about having their teeth removed!

I want realism in the games I play. I want to see people's chests rising and falling as they are breathing, and at faster intervals while fighting or running!

I want to see the eyes blink at a reasonable interval to prevent dryness!

And while we're at it, I want poo bag dispensers at every corner! And guards that will pounce you if you don't clean up after your dog!

WraithAzraiel

I don't think it's too much to ask to at least paint what looks like the inside of a mouth on something we pay money to have.

A request for a little more attention to detail isn't entitlement, it's asking for one's money's worth.

Not sure if sarcastic....

BUT

You know your character model in game already blinks and has body movement to create the illusion of breathing right?

Thymos

While we're at it... put a tongue in my little bantam guar! They have tongues right?

I also want to actually see my character drink a potion in the middle of a fight, which should also carry the chance of the bottle breaking.

As a matter of fact, how the heck am I carrying all these weapons and sets of armor? Maybe a backpack or two? My mount has no bag space whatsoever.

This should be something we need to see for all those sets of armors I loot off the dead things I leave in my wake:

He has a point you know.

I figured this was a suggestion thread, and if you want finer details, well so do I.

Lol fair enough.

I mean I don't think I'm asking for much. Not like I want a drool and slobber animation I just find it super sloppy to not give it at least a 2D paint job of teeth and a tongue..

More has been done with less.

AlienSlof

The animation of the dogs is also terrible. Whoever did the animation has no idea how a dog actually moves. When at rest, it looks like it's having difficulty breathing. It runs like a rabbit. It almost never holds its tail up proudly as a happy dog should, and when standing, holds it like it's just done, or is thinking of doing, a poop. I don't even think I've seen it wagging its tail happily, either.

Thymos

I did see that they did color the bottom of the inside of their mouths a pinkish, to give a small sense of illusion that a tongue is there.

If the dogs in game kept their mouths shut at all times and didn't have a panting animation, I'd accept this as a valid rebuttal, but seeing as that's not the case - UNACCEPTABLE. Go back and do it again, but better.

In game dog's mouths are always waggling open, prominently displaying an empty red maw for a mouth.

It just looks cheap is all I'm saying. And it's something we pay Crown to own.

Not damaging my enjoyment of the game, just something that caught my eye as off.

I agree.. I noticed it this morning when I was previewing them in the crown store. However, the Dune Hound does have teeth, and the inside of the mouth is a LOT better done than the new additions to the crown store. Someone got lazy when it came to the mouth lol.

No teeth, but they all have tongues. Unlike the dogs in game. But since you seem to like posting puppy pics, knock yourself out.

Took the words right out of my mouth... I was about to make the exact same post.

Having raised dogs all my life (German Shepherd fan, myself) -- and rabbits when I was a lot younger -- I came to the conclusion that the artist who put the dogs' animations together for ESO had to be a city boy/girl living in an apartment complex with no dogs allowed, but had a rabbit in a hutch on the top of the building... and thought they were the same thing because they both had long ears...

Yep, not only missing details, but variety. Only a wolf or husky will pry away my crowns. For that matter, only a Dire Wolf mount would get me off my Senche.

I was just about to click away from this thread, but then I saw cute pictures of dogs and stayed... I am now in the pro-toothless camp.

Do not get mad, I was joking.

I also think they lack details and also need improvement in movements

If they do make a pug, I'll buy a swarm of them. Not a pack. A swarm.

I got my Imperial Dragonknight a Bravil Retriever.
I mean - have you SEEN the look in the face of the Bravil Retriever in the Crown Store? It just isn't possible to resist that.

Packguar will keep all your loot while traveling!



I agree on the fact doggies / pets in general terms should have an accurate mouth interior and more detailed iddles.

German Shepherd fan here too. Best dog I ever had was a big one, he was my best buddy and he took keeping me safe very seriously. I still miss him years and years later.

Still, I will not buy a dog pet from the crown store until they improve the models/animation/textures. It would just annoy the hell out of me too much.
