Coming from the likes of Everquest etc. to todays ESO? I’m struck by the almost total lack of Wildlife etc.? not to mention Foliage etc.? by comparison to all the Persistent Online World games I've played B4 this, it really gives the world a Dead feeling?...

No mice etc. scurrying around? you can hear songbirds but you never see one? & most areas are so devoid of trees & bushes etc.? by comparison? theirs no comparison lol...

Most would say its because its on PS4 but its not. I started playing EQ 15 years ago on a PC a fraction of the power the PS4 has today & EQ had ten times as much & still does in 2015! lol as ESO does on screen. Very Bland by comparison...

Something I hope ZMO will work on ;-)

TY.

    There are birds, mice, rats, deer, butterflies, flies, worms, fox, camels, etc...

    Don't know where you are that it looks dead but there is wildlife everywhere.

    You mean those critters that are always in the way no matter where you go that take your main hits/charged shots because they walked near your target and took targeting priority? Yep sure, there are none anywhere...

    Huh? Did they take out all of the critters for console or something? I see rats, mice, squirrels, snakes, centipedes, scuttlers, deer, chickens, bantam guar, goats, spiders, and all kinds of other critters that only take 1 hit to kill all over the place. I should know: that's how I get all of my guts for fishing! You can also see birds flying overhead, and roosting on stumps and such all over the place, although you can't kill them, and the roosting ones fly away if you get close.

    Many times I end up with a dead rat while fighting 3 or more enemies.
    Squirrels by the trees, centipedes and spiders and snakes in open ground, plus you haven't noticed the annoying birds that can't be killed? Pretty sure the devs made the ones in Rivenspire greenish so that they look like orichalcum sometimes from a distance.
    I wouldn't complain, however, if I could shoot a buffalo or deer and cause an entire herd to stampede over other players....

    Only place I know of that they took critters out is Cyrodiil, in a vain attempt to fix lag.

    Not sure what settings you have your game at, because the foliage is pretty rich in this game, except maybe in the desert.

    I agree. Perhaps the OP was hoping no one would chime in that actually played EQ. Wildlife and foliage is very rich in ESO. It's beautiful and you can't run around more than 10 seconds without seeing critters walking around. I play on Xbox. The last time I played original EQ was in 2011. Even on max settings it was mostly devoid of random creatures, and looked mostly as if someone took a lawnmower to the foliage. EQ2 has its share of foliage if you turn it on, but it is still lacking. Plus random critters are not so common.

    However, the trolls are better in EQ. <--read into that.

    yeah man, i'm playing on a PS4 and there's definitely a ton of wildlife. Went through a deer farming frenzy for leather at one point.
