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.

Oblivion had it in a very minor way - added in the Mehrunes' Razor DLC. You could consume a beating heart to get a disease called Cannibal's Prion.

Isnt that what the "questionable meatsack" is, Proof of cannibalism.

ESO wasn't developed by Bethesda (as much as i wish it was), ZOS made it and are just using the Elder Scrolls name for an MMORPG.

Im sure that when Bethesda rolls out TES6 there will be plenty of cannibalism

Fill the gap ZOS ! Where's Namira ?

yes, all Hail Namira, and of course sithis

Because this isn't a Bethesda game. This is a Zenimax created game. Bethesda was just the publisher.

I don't know why people wish for that. Bethesda Game Studios have no concept of balance and their games are notoriously buggy, ESO really wouldn't be any better if they were directly involved. At least ZOS has decent writers, so the questlines are enjoyable.

@Father_X_Zombie @KaleidoscopeEyz

Not really a valid argument here. By that logic ZOS could leave anything out of the game no matter how big or how small. You either have the rights to make the game or you don't.

It was mentioned couple of times by officials that ZOS and Bethesda work tightly and communicate about lore.
And, as already stated in this thread, there is cannibalism in ESO, just not as usable mechanic or emote.

But Bethesda didnt have devs working on ESO, they may have been consulted for lore but never worked on the game. they just published it and let ZOS use the Elder Scrolls title. lore has been broken on numerous occasions to work with the game, so saying Bethesda is responsible for the game itself isnt true

Never said that the Bethesda is responsible for the game (other that giving rights to ZOS, consulting and publishing it), I'm saying that your statement, that there is no cannibalism in ESO because it was not made by Bethesda, is ridiculous.

Autolycus

ESO is definitely not cannibalism-free. You can't go through a single AD zone without finding someone who eats people.

Rohamad_Ali

While it is out there you don't really loot a lot of cannibal recipes .

Darkonflare15

There also a quest where a Bosmer farming pumpkins in Grahtwood because she likes how fleshy they taste. There quest line tied to her that has something to do with cannibalism.

Two out of sixteen Daedric Princes agree...eating Ogres != cannibalism!

Also I'm going to leave this here.

mwo1480

as more players told u, there is cannialism in the game, i think u should chance your question to why can't we learn cannibalisme in eso

Browiseth

I've been seeing a lot of these threads pop up lately. Is there like, a cannibal convention going on in the ESO community right now?

I was just saying in my post that Bethesda isn't responsible for the lack of caniballism as it is a ZOS game, perhaps you misinterpreted

Morrowind

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Human_Flesh
Human Flesh is an extremely rare ingredient. It cannot be harvested from humans. It is identical to Rat Meat in appearance, though not in effects.

btw most imersion/realism mods tweak a game a bit so all human start droping this


Fallout 1

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Iguana_bits_(Fallout)
In Fallout, it is found out that some iguana bits are actually human flesh bought from Doc Morbid in Junktown. These are sold at a discount, and appear as chunks-on-a-stick instead of an actual iguana-on-a-stick.

Good read about cannibalism in Fallout series

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Cannibalism

In general cannibalism is present in one way or the other in most of Bethesda cRPG's.
Someone have kind of wicked sense of humor ;D


Btw, TESO dont need any more cannibal theme,s that we have allready in game
its hilarious that this is like second thread in a week about this that i see on a forum, and posters have no clue about "cannibalistic lore" in Elder Scroll series (uh, uh Bosmers -btw ALL bosmers can more or less turn into a "human eating monsters by Wild Hunt rituals")

Vigarr

Because this isn't a Bethesda rpg

Merlight

You never know what you're eating...

Preyfar

Question everything. The truth is out there.

MasterSpatula

There is a LOT of suspicious "pork" lying around in this game, in crypts and Worm Cult lairs and, well, all of Valenwood.

Yes! Thank you! It has been mentioned many times on ESO-Live that the writers and devs at Zos communicate with the Bethesda team. And let me remind everyone, Bethesda created Zenimax Media in 1999. And later Zenimax Online Studios was created to produce ESO. I'm positive, Todd Howard has his hand in ESO...:) They are the same company, just different divisions of each other.
And having played TES since Daggerfall, I really dont remember "cannibalism" being a thing in those games. Besides a case of corpus or Bosmer lore..

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

Care to help me refresh my memories please ?

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.

I love this momento...when I get really bored...I place it in front of the bank in the newbie zone and watch people eat it and get sick...

Regarding that, I was talking about cannibalism as a game-play mechanic, not as a lore tidbit (<-- see what I did there). And cannibalism, as such, only appeared in Skyrim.

And nice catch on Fallout 1.

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

This one agrees with @SantieClaws WW always are applying their lipstick when they are bored. Khajiit prefers the upcoming yarn to play with.

Acrolas

Right of Theft quest in Dread Vullain, Greenshade is a great example of lore cannibalism. Sitting through the visions gets a little boring after two or three times, but I really like the story.

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 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.

So what drawback is there in being a werewolf Again?

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

That's only when you choose to transform which don't need to do, so again what is the drawback for being a Werewolf? what can a non-werewolf do that a werewolf player in Human form cannot?
