Why is this the only bethesda rpg without cannibalism?

WalksonGraves

A huge draw to their games has always been the option to play as a complete psycho. It's been in every elderscrolls game and the fallout franchise so it's absence is missed. Drinking blood is lame I want to eat limbs.

Abeille

Become a werewolf.

Or roleplay as a Bosmer.

WalksonGraves

lol @ playing a bosmer. Terrible racials aside they look and sound ridiculous.
As for werewolves anyone who has to turn into another species just to eat someone isn't cut out for cannibalism.

Aquanova

There are cannibals in this game other than bosmer. There's a group of dunmer in the deeshan public dungeon.

Good question. Unless my memory fails me - which is a possibility -, I don't think there's any quest or zone with a "cannibalism" issue.
Fill the gap ZOS ! Where's Namira ?

Thevampirenight

Well I do think they should add a skill line for it. That gives you the abilty to eat a corpse but gives bonus health regen/magicka regen and bonus stamina regen for fifteen minutes if the corpse you eat happens to be your own race. As well as temp bonuses to health stamina and magicka pool for eatting a corpse. If your a vampire they can add a perk that gives bonus damage for feeding on corpses while a vampire This will give also give a special feeding animation bending down and biting into the corpse then drinking the blood but after you can then eat the corpse again with the normal cannibalism animation. So they can make this count for vampirism feeding and canibalism. I would like to see this.

There is ONE quest in a public dungeon that's entirely focused on said forbidden meat. =P

As long as Argonians are on the menu.

The Forgotten Crypts in Deshaan. It's where you get the Questionable Meat Sack (it's people!).

In fact, the Questionable Meat Sack IS a sack of humanoid flesh which you can trick other players into eating, so... yeah, in a way, cannibalism is alive and well in ESO, and you can get other players to unintentionally ingest some fellow travelers.

Wow

Forgotten crypt public dungeon in Deshaan. Inside the crypts there are a group of Dunmer that have set up restaurant for Hannibal Lector.

If you actually insist on portraying a cannibal to the point where you need to point out the lack of it as being a negative thing, the red flags sure are waving in the breeze.

anitajoneb17_ESO

@Wow and @Synfaer : thank you !

Now that you mention it yes I remember ! (Had not noticed the "Hannibal Lector" thing, good catch ZOS ! )

It had not "ticked" because those actually ate human flesh to survive, it was not linked to a preference, a cult or an addiction. I would still like to see it addressed as a "lifestyle" in ESO. Not so much as a skill line for our characters though.

TX12001rwb17_ESO

This game does have cannibalism, I have even been so cruel as to turn new players into cannibals, how may you ask? I have 2 words....Mystery Meat!!! yes who would of thought that slab of meat I put on the ground was safe to eat?

Everytime I see an Argonian tail I become hungry all of the sudden. I wonder what their tails taste like? Don't they regrow them after a while?

Coatmagic

Ayup, as stated, Bosmer eat people, that group in Deshaan eat people... and... Altmer eat babies (Argonians).

Rosveen

Morrowind had cannibalism?

There would need to be a drawback for balance, unless you're suggesting that every player should be a cannibal, which is both utterly preposterous and extremely gross and I want no part of it. Just like with Vampires and Werewolves there needs to be something sacrificed for whatever is gained through cannibalism or else anyone not being a cannibal will be gimping themselves, and there's no part of that which is anything close to okay. You guys can be psychos if you want but leave the rest of us with no interest out of it.

You think being a werewolf or a vampire is less "psycho" than being a cannibal ?

(I agree with the rest of your post though : should it be implemented as a skill line, there should be a drawback somewhere).

Until you can prove to Khajiit exactly what is in the pies at The Rosy Lion then this one is unsure of the truth of the opening statement to this discussion yes.

So what drawback is there in being a werewolf Again?

The nasty smell of doggy always being in the air. The drooling, the barking and the cold wet nose.

They're wolves, not dogs, Santie. Much more majestic, almost no barking.

ESO wasn't made by Bethesda.

You get a weakness to poisons when in WW form. And no benefits if you don't have the WW ultimate slotted in your active bar

They're kind of psycho I guess but they're still very different, they're a disease that makes you into a different species basically with different dietary requirements, they need to eat people but cannibals just want to for the fun of it, completely different. I'm also not really interested in being either of those, never have been and I don't imagine I ever will, but I'm not as against it as I am against being a cannibal, mainly I just don't think any of my characters would benefit enough to outweigh the detractors. I like my builds, and especially being all Tanks I can't afford to have reduced health recovery and increased fire damage taken, and Werewolves don't seem terribly compelling either, I like my builds and don't want to replace my abilities with werewolf abilities.

No cannibalism in Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout or Fallout 2. It is present in Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Skyrim.
So if anything, it is part of a (Bethesda's) Fallout franchise, and in the Elder Scrolls series (with the exception of Skyrim ) it only appears as lore or as rumor/curio, just like in ESO.

With that said, I wouldn't mind the inclusion of cannibalism (emote is fine too) to ESO; whatever helps with roleplay/immersion.

magnusthorek

Maybe because here Namira is more adept to furry?

Asardes

At least 3 examples of quests in ESO that concern cannibalism:
Deshaan: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:A_Bitter_Pill - refugees eating human flesh
Greenshade: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Right_of_Theft - Bosmer defeating and eating their enemies but being poisoned by them in the end
Reaper's March: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Questionable_Contract - Bosmer threatening to eat a mage's wife because he failed to honor his contract
