Implement full array of Tamrielic holidays within ESO

Quantact

Hi there,

I never played Morrowind, but in TES Daggerfall, there were tons of holidays which enhanced the game's culture and gave benefits peculiar to that holiday. For example, on one holiday (I don't remember which) Temples gave discounts to people for their services. It's been so long since I played Daggerfall that I don't remember if the holidays were global or regional, either. But the staff of ESO has access to all of it -- and why not? When there's a holiday in Tamriel, have some sort of festival in cities like Stonefalls or Daggerfall, and give some benefit, like on that day the 250 gold boon at the stables is free, or in another the Enchanters give discounts on their wares, etc.

It would greatly enhance game culture by describing the holidays and their significance, and the little benefits would quite certainly be loved by the gamers. What could be cooler than the occasional festival, with decorations sprouting on the merchant stalls and dancers in the streets? Probably wouldn't be super-hard to code or implement, either.

Thank you for reading my idea.

I was told that traditionally some people only drink on saints' days.

Then I was told there are more saints than days in a year.

List of holidays that were in Daggerfall can be found here:

I suppose not all of them may be celebrated in all areas though and different cultures are likely to have different things that are important to them to celebrate.

Wouldn't be bad to create holidays for each province or each faction, which don't exist yet, I mean. So, if you're in Valenwood, you get one set, in High Rock another, etc.

ContraTempo : no need for a holiday to drink Lusty Argonian Maid Mazte, right?
