I'm sure I've seen a video of a dev talking about pve interactivity, and trying to find the right balance between people having more freedom in the world and making sure people interacting with things doesn't slow down the game too much. I believe the example was of that player who dropped 1,000 cheese rolls down a mountain in Skyrim, the dev didn't want stuff like that crashing the game for other players but he wants the world to feel more interactive and fun .

These devs seem out of touch sometimes. I don't think anyone has ever asked to be able to drop all their things in the world and have other players see them and have them have individual physics. The kinds of things we would like are...

Sitable chairs
Layable beds
Climbable ladders
Picking up items we see in the world (this has actually been improved GREATLY since initial launch)

We're not asking for cheese waterfalls. If they really used that as an example they are either being dramatic or they don't know what we mean by "interactivity".

I honestly can't find the video again where I saw that, I'm pretty sure it was exclusively referring to picking up objects though. That's why there isn't a "drop" feature on items.

I'm comfortable saying that I'm one of the more... erm... demanding ESO players. I think I feel like there is a LOT more missing from this game than the average ESO player. I mean I have made several posts and a thread about the fact that there the moon Secunda doesn't reflect on the surface of the water:

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/150755/wait-a-secunda-whats-with-this-moon-logic/p1

That REALLY bothers me... but even I don't expect players to be able to drop stuff in world.. imagine the mess!!!

If it makes you feel better, when you use the /impatient emote in water or sand, the splashing etc. occurs on the wrong foot.

Oh the moons are nice... the moons are beautiful! I love the moons... it's the reflections that concerns me. Or more specifically, the LACK of a reflection.

I seem to remember ZOS saying they were looking into a non-CP campaign.

Hey @attackjet , I'm loving the passion you're bringing to this... You might really enjoy learning about ESO Dwarves... AKA... the Dwemer. Their name means "Deep Ones" or "Profound People". They're not tiny, short or fat like other Dwarves. They're generally the size of all other races. I think the reason they're called Dwarves is because they were underground dwelling.

IIRC, the actual name Dwemer meant deep elves. The name Dwarves is a mistranslation of their name. If you want to slot them into a more conventional fantasy role, and you know D&D, the best description for them would be steampunk Drow, without the spider fetish and infighting, while being slightly friendlier.

I always considered the Dunmer to be the closest TES race to the Drow.

And in Aldmeri "Mer" means "Ones, People, or Folk"... it doesn't translate to "elves" directly but contextually... yea... elves.

On the subject of mer, it's conventional use is as a catch all for elves. Though, you're right about the Aldmeri. Though, anytime someone refers to them as deep ones, all I can think of is this:

With the Drow comparison. The dark elves are explicitly, well, dark elves. And they draw a lot of inspiration from Forgotten Realm's Drow. Though, at the same time, when you're talking about the always evil elves with a vast underground empire? Then I start thinking of the Dwemer. Maybe not the most fair comparison, but still.

A big NO.

The only way to play with dwemer should be by a back in time DLC... Even better Dwemer stories should be covered in depth by a futher TES game at a larger scale.

theher0not

No.

No zombies, I don't see what they can become that vamp isn't able to become. As for dwarves I would like to see them, just not in this game (possibly TES 6 or 7 will take place in the time when they disapeared so we will get to know what happen, there dwarf could be a playable race but preferably not anywere else).

But I would like to see a way to become a daedra in some way (you make a deal with one of them and they give you some power). Could be a cool third "form" for you to become

No def not. Quite new to the game only level 39. I'm just think 2 new "afflictions"? I guess that is what they are called like being a vampire or werewolf? But anyways, I think it would add a lot to PvP especially if they were to add bg's and arenas. And I used to play wow BTW so I like the idea of flying mounts (there was a flying mount in skyrim am I correct? Idk for sure, but I think you could fly a dragon)

dear friend your only lvl 39,. you havent been through the first faction pve,. your lvl is officaly about to be right for your first infliction, vamp/ww, why dont you give that a go first, lvl it to 10 and then come back

not that i care you try/are being totally ignorant of the lore,. i wont hold that against you, but your only lvl 39, you havent scratched 10% of the game content, why dont you go experience some more before you ask for more,. they way i see it, you havent finished your first plate and already asking for 2nds

The dwarves disappeared as a result of them derping around with Lorkhan's Heart. A red stone that may have been the literal heart of the missing god. They intended to use it to transform their entire race into immortal gods. Obviously the procedure didn't go exactly as planned, because once they used it, every Dwemer in existence disappeared. Note that, "in existence" part. One Dwemer, Yagrum Bagarn was in the process of teleporting between two Dwemer colonies when the heart snuffed them, and arrived at the other end alive, unharmed, and alone. He's still alive at the time of ESO, and will continue to live at least through most of the 3rd era.

The Chimer, seeing that the Dwemer had just vaporized their entire race, thought licking the heart to see if it was strawberry or cherry flavored was a good idea. So three of their leaders (Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec) decided to play with the heart some. Nerevar Indoril and Dagoth Ur thought this was a spectacularly terrible idea (probably) and Nerevar got snuffed for it, while Dagoth Ur got to branded a traitor. The three proceeded to slap the stone around a bit, transforming themselves into living gods. And then Azura cursed the Chimer, charring their skin and turning the eyes red. (If you ever wondered what happened to those high elf looking fellas in Stonefalls, well, now you know.) Then they wandered off to have fun, while Dagoth Ur repeated the process making himself a god in the process.

And that's what happened to the Dwemer.

EDIT: Typos.

As a Skyrim modder and ENB user there I can understand that to a certain degree. My current save in Skyrim gives me the most stunning visuals ever, but in truth it's good for screen shots, but not for playability. I get 40 to 55 fps (depends on outdoors / indoors) using 2 x Titan X as SLI for a WQHD display (2560 x 1440) and circumventing the memory bottleneck with ENB memory manager.

On another hand....the visuals of this game are for MMO standards already fantastic. My guess is, they are such fantastic, that playing this game on high settings (ultra) might be already responsible for the well known fps drops and latency increases. Your suggested visual improvements might be the one cookie too much to make this game truly unplayable especially for group and raid enviroments, where the demands are much higher for displaying various particles, animations and stuff as for the normal "solo-joe" strifing through the world.

On topic / poll: Still undecided which poll was worse / less necessary...the "dragons-for-flying-mount-poll" or this one...

Shoddycast is good to get a general idea about the TES lore in a very enjoyable form. Great for newcomers to the TES series to get a broad overview of who and what...
But that @AngryNord over there has a valid point stating that if you -really- want to get into the depth of it, with references and everything, you would be better served by going to the Elder Scrolls Wiki and the Imperial Library to read up on stuff!

For Lich? You need heart of a lich, tongue of a dragon, and flesh of a well ridden horse. It's sure to make you undead.
