Polymoprhs you want to see added to the Crown Store?

tinythinker

So, some polymorphs (goblin, skeleton) you can only get in-game by questing, and I would like those to remain "quest-reward only". Yet the only polymorph currently available in the Crown Store is the Draugr. What would you want to be able to disguise yourself as?

Here are some ideas to start:

• Kothringi (the silver/blue humans mostly wiped out by the Knahatan Flu)
• Rieker or Riekling (meaner "cousins" of goblins)
• Maomer, the Sea Elves
• Lamia, the snake-like humanoids
• One of the races of Akavir (probably needs to wait for the relevant expansion)

What do you think? Would you like one of those? Is there something else you'd like to see?

I consider those polymorphs more like "illusion disguises", and as such they likely shouldn't be used for any race that might someday become available as proper race to play. Maormer and all kinds of goblins might get that, someday... possibly even imga and/or some akaviri races...

But... for races that won't likely ever be released as playables... due to lore (because extinct) or other considerations (as in, would be killed on sight if iot wasn't a disguise, like daedra)... Kothringi, Lilmothiit, Ayleid, etc., that might be possible.

Lamias, perhaps not so much, due to gameplay considerations it would make more sense that all polymorphs would have to be humanoid of shape due to attack animation issues...

But we have dragur in the crown store, skeleton, mind-shriven and such in IC... might be theres some expanding on this possible. Ra-garda undead (aka, tamriel mummies) anyone? Zombie? Dragon priest? Lich? Possibly spectral undead as well, in different colors... Maybe more skeletons too, in different clothes... Imperial Skeleton, Ayleid skeleton... "argonian" skeleton... Different types of dremora as well, maybe?

Though personally I am more keen on costumes when disguising my characters, since then its "my character in disguise" and not just an Avie-switch...

Goblins already have a polymorph from a quest in Stonefalls. Ayleids had the same appearance as Altmer (as did the Chimer before Azura cursed them with their current appearance, thus becoming the Dunmer).

My personal favorite is Kothringi

I would say whale polymorph in the crown store would be super pertinent.

Hmmm... wamasu might be a little easier.

Might get legal action from the team behind Goat Simulator. But that reminds me, if they can't fix PvP, they could buy out this game (see video) and merge it into Cyrodiil:

Well, if you're going to throw in Kothringi, you might as well throw in Liilmothit. Both of which are kinda unrealistic :<

They already have Kothringi in-game, so a polymorph isn't a stretch. Liilmothit would be a *hit*; the furry crowd would go nuts. But that would likely come out, if at all, with the Murkmire DLC.

I know. Hoe about one of the hardest battles a new player ever had. Anyone remember Drelas in his little house in the middle of nowhere? Would be a good polymorph for the people that tried and tried again....still trying for the Xivkyn ones at present.

Goblin is a disguise, not a polymorph. At least last I played that quest, I was talking about those things kept in your "costume" tab, not in your inventory. But I guess it kinda could be counted... I still think it#d make more sense to have goblin as crown-purchasable race option someday, but that#s a different discussion.
Ayleids have slightly different skin, less yellowish, more bronze, at least if you follow the looks of their last king...
Chimer... those did indeed look altmer-golden from what I recall.
Hmmm... snow elves would be another possibility, they definitely are long gone by TES time (with some exceptions as we know from Skyrim) and mutated into the monstrous falmer (we also know from Skyrim). Not sure if sinistral elves were all that different. Sload... maybe, maybe not, depending on how humanoid they really would be (for the animations).

Other polymorph possibilities... Dryad, Neireid? The animations would be entirely different, but it might perhaps work regardless... maybe even flame atronarch might be doable...
