Would that one have part of an arrow sticking out of a knee?

Now just for the goofy Commander walk to be fixed. Nobody's head and torso remains that still when walking, please fix this.

But then they wouldn't be an adventurer anymore!

Although, maybe I would prefer to become a city guard, in ESO. Being immortal sounds awesome.

I was thinking about a class based personalty. I'm not sure how that would work, but it would be cool if there was things like:

• DK's occasionally have a walking animation that leaves behind a little footprint that is on fire. Faintly, needs to be subtle.
• Sorcs may play with a ball of lightning in their hands, maybe they throw it and it comes back to them.
• Templars conjure a spear to poke in the ground and lean on it, or just play with it and leave a small hole where the spear was.
• NB's could have their shadows bug them as if their conjured images were playing games on your character.

An adventurer personality would also be pretty neat too!

The NB one sounds cute as heck.

I can just see my NB getting angry and heck at her shadows haha

THere are so many great ideas in this thread but personally I am loving the Bard, The Mage and the Jester. I think these are really distinctive types, with clear cut animations and emotes to include.

I would love to see a whimsical skipping school girl with arms flailing that would be a hilarious taunt in pvp it would be a nice change from t bagging which is getting tired and throw in a giggle

Kram8ion

Ohh and I'm sure duellers would like a "bring it on" emote
Even though I don't duel but sometimes like to watch

As posted before in another thread: my personality wish would be the following:

I've always been jealous when I saw those NPCs on Augvea, so here we go, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

New Personality: Augvea Scholar

Normal Movement: Levitation. Please also a leviating for running animation, its nasty to fly around slowly but being forced down to your feet when running.



Changes to emotes:

/ritual - also already in game, the levitating one:



/sitchair - Sitting on your chair, but with a book in your hands, reading while standing is so tiring in the long run

/sleep - as /meditate doesnt exixt, this could take the place for it. Mediating in classic legged posture, but, for sure, floating

WanderingBeithe

I would really really like to use the emote I see the chef NPCs use where they are sharpening their knives.

Pretty please with sugared khajitty balls on top?

We’re interested to hear which types of elements you want to see in future Personalities, as well specific personas you would like to see. Let us know in this thread, and help shape the future of development.

I use Idle Animations add-on, and those features would be useful in the base game: You should be able to pick a set of animations that play while idle in each Personality (and normal Personality), how long and often they happen.

The suggestions of khajiit:

Personalities to match the crafting professions - i.e. chef, and the other ones that do not produce things this one can eat

Personalities to match entertainment professions - i.e. dancer, bard, storyteller, magician, actor, mime artist

Personalities to match sort of unofficial trades. These could be used around your guild trader to attract business - i.e. flower seller, baker, merchant of rare trinkets.

Personalities to match leisure activities - i.e. fishing and fishing

Personalities suited to dungeon situations - i.e. quivering coward, unethical archaeologist

Personalities found in taverns i.e. - up for a fight, talking about rubbish, sour drunk

I have used the "cheerful" personality since the day you implemented it in the game and I never switch it off. Though I must say this has led to some awkward moments when for example discussing something serious with others in roleplay and all of a sudden my character starts to whistle. more control sounds really good! If you cant preview the personality in the crown store window, please have videos on this site that display them clearly.

I'd love for more personalities to be unlocked via achivements also in the future.

Mage type personality. Opening a book every once in a while. Playing with fire or ice etc in the palm of your hand for example.

Crazy scientist. Rubbing hands together grinning mad. "Experimenting" with some flasks, holding one up inspecting the liquid in it.

The Gambler. Chewing a tooth pick, playing with dice/cards etc.

The best propositions so far and the mage one... wow! I would totally buy this!!! Great idea with reading the book when idle. To idle positions I would also add levitating (it would rotate with this book one) - can you even imagine this?!

Since there is already /juggleflame emote, the mage personality could add more like /juggleice or playing with elements in another unique way (someone above gave great proposition with throwing a lighting orb in the air which would come back to the caster like boomerang). I assume the /jugglelighting would be excluded since it would be similar to crown crate exclusive storm orbs.

@ZOS_SeanMiller has there been any discussion about having idle animations when no personality is active? Since Personalities take some of the modified emotes to play when idle, it would be nice if, when no personality is active, some of the existing base-game emotes would play.

SantieClaws

As an insight into the kind of personalities the apprentices this one she has, khajiit will list a summary of their characters - some of them anyway.

This might be a good starting point to work up from yes. After all we all already have the personality yes - it is just finding a way of expressing this:

Thought this one she admits many of us are much to complex to be summed up by a series of emotes.

Psedudo Victorian clothing obsessive and part time lousy detective (Sherlock Gro Bones - orc)

Likes to eat things that should not be eaten (Nommie - Bosmer)

Sweet orphan child with an inner desire for gory murder (Spiny Tim - Argonian)

Thinks she is khajiit (Rosiebelle - orc)

Not bright. Doesn't like to wash. Limited vocabulary (Hodorf - Nord)

So from this perhaps you have vanity, gluttony, murderous, khajiit and um ... Hodorf?

As for future personality ideas: Bards! Unique animations for lute/flute/drums/dance

Oooh, I would love It too! I'd like char to sing while using instruments emotes, humming while he's standing, maybe tuning lute too?
That's so exciting

Psychodellix

/sitchair-drink-eat-read those would be awsome. add an emporer personality for those that have achieved that status

Strongman personality - body builder poses, showing off your biceps to all the world, and those deltoids, and those pecs... may or may not include a "Do you even lift, bro?" battlecry or attempts to rip off your chest armor... (and then count the days until someone figures it out, makes an earthen heart DK for it, named "Alex Louis Armstrong" )

Ya this please

CheverTheShrimp

Definitely want to see more personalities. Love the personalities, particularly those that alter emotes. Maybe base a snobby high class one on the animations Percius Loche from hews bane has or Mirabelle Motierre (I think it was) from the dark brotherhood.

Also please please don't ever put personalities in crown crates, NEVER

I love Percius Loche, I would love to have his personality made available to us.

Walks-Softly has a very unique stance, too.

And how about Hildegard's shy personality? It is adorable.

Nestor

While certain Emotes are more suited to certain personalities, I would like to see a system where we can que up several emotes that would play out either randomly or in an order on our characters. Whether this is part of our Personality we choose or the Emotes play along side our Personality is something I am not sure on. But I will say, whatever is easier to implement.

arpadsweb16_ESO

I would love for Mannimarco's and the Prophet's Staff Walk animations to be implemented. Walking while holding our staffs looks ludicrous ingame, this would be a grand change and a must have for any wizard!

Random spell casts and alteration spells would also be great, and I'm not talking juggle flame here but other forms of cool spellcasting or grimoire reading.

As for my biggest fantasy and request, it would be Levitation while standing or on the move, why you ask?
I shan't tell but show you instead!

This is my character, The Lich



So, magic and necromancy-themed stuff is always welcome in my book!

Milicent

Add a sass personality.

roigseguib16_ESO

Bards or musicians are good ideas, with animations for lute/flute/drums and any form of musical addition

roigseguib16_ESO

Personality:

Crusader. Proudly sharpen a greatsword on idle. Crossed arms, firm step, proud and heavy walking.

pattyLtd

Yay! sounds awesome and the possibilities are endless with this.

please don't put them in crown crates only,i need money for food and stuff too, ty

Franieck

A necromancer, or just a general evil personality would look amazing!

@ZOS_SeanMiller sounds like awesome stuff!

Any news on the thief personality? Is it being reworked? It seemed to have disappeared from the crown store abruptly (I don't remember seeing a time limit on it) - will it be back?

Thief personality is in the store still. It just was moved from featured to the Personality/Style Parlor section. It does need to be reworked by zos though IMO, it's a terrible personality as it stands.

arpadsweb16_ESO

The commander personality is broken when you walk with it, you're meant to have both your hands resting against your back as you walk forward, as if pondering on and observing something.



Instead, the commanding walk animation breaks and the other arm moves back and forth, looking really goofy rather than confident and menacing. Change it!


But yes, as mentioned above: Levitation and more spellcasting emotes are highly wanted, moar necromancy stuff too and STAFF WALK!

@ZOS_SeanMiller ...great thread- much thanks

any chance on getting some pipe smoking action going on?

can't think of anything finer than having a cyro group all together smoking out - seeing how that's exactly what's going on in group chat...

smoking tobacco in a pipe that is...
