Masked Bear Mount (limited edition) Preview - Will you purchase it now or wait the Lottery Boxes?

KICHZY

I'll stick with my Dro-M'athra senche until something better comes along, A bear re skinned to look like a panda simply doesn't interest me.

@Abeille ...why exactly are they supposed to be limited to Khajiit riders?

Just because the Khajiit are the only ones that are mentioned in the lore as using senche as mounts, and because they are highly intelligent I think there should be an in game explanation for them letting other people who are not related to them ride them. They were added as mounts with no such explanation. Anything like "the senche allow the other races of Tamriel to mount them too, as long as they trust them" added to a book or to npc dialogue would be enough, by the way, I'm not too picky.

If they are intelligent (which I think we're in agreement that they are) why do they need it recorded that they're capable of making human or mer or Argonian friends and letting said friends ride them? There are bipedal Khajiit in the other Alliances, and Nords and Dunmer etc. in the Dominion. Why should the four-legged ones be left out? If anything, they'd make better steeds than horses or Guar because for every mounted unit you now have two intelligent fighters instead of one fighter and a dumb animal. The Dominion would have to be fools not to take advantage of that just from a military standpoint.

But if it bothers you that much, Prince Attrebus (Imperial) and his Dunmer buddy were both allowed to ride the four-legged furstock in the aforementioned books while escaping from the fellow on the bear.

I won't ride something that would just as soon eat me as look at me.

So, Horses and Guars only. I also have an issue with Lore and mounts, and Horses and Guars are the only lore correct service animals in the TES world.

Show me proof that camels are lore-breaking. I'll wait.

To be honest, I was going with your belief that they are Khajiit on the previous posts. I actually am more convinced that they are not, due to their appearance being different from how the Senche Khajiit were described before and due to the position of the loremaster on the subject (there is also at least one book in the game that talks about Senche-tigers as if they were pets).

Anyway, if they are Khajiit, whether they would allow non-Khajiit soldiers to mount them for the war or not would depend on how they see being mounted, from a cultural standpoint, and I think this should be documented if that's the case. It just seems important, to me, to justify an intelligent creature letting people unrelated to them ride them, even if it is just "because they wanted to". Carrying someone away from danger is a thing. Being actually used as a mount on the same way a horse would be is something completely different, after all.

If The Infernal City/Lord of Souls were the only reference we had on bear mounts, they would bother me just the same. But ESO added some lore on them, too, including a quest about Torug and his bear, Coldwind. They added lore on the wolf mounts in the Gold Coast. They could go ahead and add lore on the senche too.

Maybe if/when we get an Elsweyr DLC.

This bear (painted bear) and the hist guar (paint splattered guar) seem more like afterthoughts than intended, interesting additions to the Crown store. I hate to use the word "lazy" because it sure is overused around here but...lazy.

Looks liek a giant skunk

[wrong thread to ask]

Banana

No thanks. I like my Lion

svartorn

Nope, ugly mount. Looks like a really half-assed attempted at a panda.

Stop hating on poor Bandit

It's unique and interesting, not to mention way better looking than that glowing Disco Senche everyone seems to ride around on.

In my opinion it's the best bear variation they made, the varied fur colour makes it far more interesting to look at than the snow bear or the black bear, esspecially if you combine it with some nice dyed armor or costumes.

Palidon

Enough of the Bear mounts.

Mattock_Romulus

I didn't have any bear mounts yet so i picked this one up. I like the masked bear mount.

Don't be fooled guys this is actually an endangered giant Skyrim badger. It looks a lot like a bear but it's actually a badger and it is truly shameful how they're rounding these up to be trained as mounts - there are so few skyrim badgers left in the wild. Don't buy it.

i like it but i didn't buy it.
