• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 29

A Wildly Impractical, Trivial, and possibly Unreasonable Feature Request

Now that we can sit down in taverns and bars and hang out there, it would be most cool to be able to play a round of cards with NPCs or even fellow players. A game of Hearts, or even (*gasp*) poker. I know they must have some kind of playing cards in Tamriel.

Or have our fortunes told. Or something fun and time-wasting like that.

OK, I know. Just thought I'd run it up the flagpole.

    I don't think I've ever seen playing cards in any of the elder scrolls games. I don't think they've invented such things as cards.

    This link has some (possibly?) lore friendly games

    Also different games for different racial areas would be neat.

    I'd love to see a Gwent type game included. That would be awesome!


    But then again ZOS would find a way to charge for cards and it would become P2W.

    LOVE the idea, and bumping for visibility.

    Only concern I have is that when non-rpers and RPers mix, someone starts something (yes, it goes both ways).

    well, from the loot we acquire from the npcs we do know they have p*rn (those frisky khajiits), and, dice...

    guess we could all hang out, shoot craps and share erotic tales...

    I like this idea. Would like to see a Transmogging system for Equipment first though. >_> We're still waiting ZoS.

    But adding my support for this idea too.

    cute "PVP" stuff like this would be nice and good for community interaction. the only other MMO I've played is runescape which had a LOT of stuff like this even when I stopped playing 6 years ago. easy to add lore-friendly games

    Yep and being able to play that in the Taverns in ESO would be awesome.

    The clothier hireling mentions learning tons of different tavern games because no one expects her to be good at them and then she's able to catch them out.

    I don't remember any of the names and there were no details except that nords will tell you one can be played with a mammoth and apparently that's a lie.

    Hah, yeah. That'd be an awesome feature. Wouldn't have them consider it for a long while though. I'd also include a betting system too, gotta make it more of a gamble.

    I mean there is already Elder SCrolls Legends...

    So that would be the most likely. Then that would be another crown store revenue. You can buy packs and cards on the store, or players could sell cards on their Guild Stores.
