    Ahh, the good old days. I rode my unicorn into the Cheydinhal stable dragging a wolf and some bandits behind me. I hopped off and watched the carnage as the stable owner attacked the wolf and then fled in panic from the irate unicorn who then attacked the guards fighting the bandits. After the guards killed my unicorn, I said "Good riddance, you cantankerous creature", took its horn and walked off into the sunset.

    There are Unicorns in Elder Scrolls.

    This Dunmer assassin likes to murder them with crochet needles.

    There's a unicorn in Skyrim. Not sure why ppl say it's not lore friendly.
    Maybe I'm confusing Oblivion and Skyrim but there's one in one and not the other.

    I've always wondered if that was a gag on the Unicorn's agro rules in Oblivion.

    More accurate to say, "they're not friendly in the lore." Since, there are Unicorns in TES.

    Hahahah yes, DEFINITELY not friendly.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    There was definitely a unicorn in Oblivion (it was guarded by loads of minotaurs) So I would say it's not lore breaking.

    I hate the "lore" argument. its stupid. Maybe the writers of the game are adding new Lore, or its undiscovered history up to this point. If it makes the game more fun then do it regardless of lore. Not hard to add something and call it "new" lore

    Well, since Unicorns are referenced in Elder Scrolls I believe they could be added to this game. Would be nice for good/holy characters.

    Actually... not so much, no. The Elder Scrolls' unicorns are psychopaths.

    Sooooo a "Doom Unicorn" would suffice?

    The unicorn in Oblivion would aggro on anything that had a weapon out (internally, this included things like animals in a combat stance). So if you weren't riding it, it would attack wolves, bandits, legionaries who saw bandits and were fighting them... you, me, everyone.

    So totally could be a mount in ESO... since it's not out if you're not riding it ;)


    ..I totally don't secretly want a unicorn. Promise.

    Bruh, if we get a unicorn mount before a mantikora or dusk or titan mount, I'm gonna be pretty salty. Let alone an elk mount. And we are way overdue for an elk mount.

    Adding brand new lore is fine. Adding lore that conflicts with existing lore is trickier. That's where most complaints come from.

    Especially when those complaints are contradicted by lore. You know, like the people in this thread arguing against Unicorns from a lore perspective, when they do, in fact, exist in TES.

    Totes, I am pretty sure Vampire Lords never existed before Skyrim Dawnguard DLC. They just thought it would be cool and made it fit into the game, how it should be done but only with the cool stuff.
