And Retreating Maneuvers is like adding nitrous.

I had to make a post about this! The dwemer spider mount is so silly... I LOVE IT ! I spent my whole last gaming session burning around Vvardenfell with my new warden mounted on the dwemer spider. Watching it clambering over the volcanic rocks at high speed just made me smile so much

I'm just waiting for them to add a Wamasu mount.

This mount is great. The way it handles is unlike any of the others, don't know why but it does and it's great and it's dwemmer my favorite.

I saw one pass me at the Vivec City wayshrine and thought it looked awesome. I am just not into dwemer anything or I would have bought it.

MattT1988

I think it looks great. Not worth 3000 crowns, but it looks fun.

Vizier

agreed. Some of the mounts introduced lately are ill conceived, especially the spider. It's like a little dweamer Go-Cart. Seriously immersion breaking.

I just spent my 3k crowns from subbing on the 2 extra char slots, didn't really care much for the mount thought last 2 character slots was worth alot more

The mount itself looks kinda cute but players look stupid af riding in it.

I agree, even though I am one of those who look stupid af riding it. It gives me back a feeling I have not felt in a long time, in guild chat I equated it to being a kid and getting your first remote control car. It really feels like that to me, at least for now. It was well worth the crowns for to get back that feeling even if the feeling ends up being short lived.

On another note, is it just me or is it easier to climb rocks/mountains with this mount than with the other mounts?

The only thing that would make it better is if you could scale vertical walls. And no it maneuvers over all terrain better than any mount yet.

It's because this mount has more legs that only use a small collision box. So your able to grip onto steep surfaces better as a result.

Why can't they just come out with some better horses????

There can never be too many horse colors.
I wish they'd give them more realistic eyes, though.

Horses definitely need an upgrade...

Khajiit would like to see more practical mounts - though not necessarily horses.

Perhaps a donkey or a cow?

Ohhhhhhhhh they broke your immersion.

What about you wake up and you realize this is a video game

A Khajiit riding a big gorilla.... What about a bull

I saw someone in game last night going around and around in circles on this mount and it was hysterically funny! I wasn't going to get it, but after watching that, I think I might have to!

That's how I stroll

Seriously there will be Dwemobile clubs that just cruise with this! For the first time and after thousand of hours I'm having fun while riding in this game. Used to be boring transport from A to B.

Also best thing about the ride is how it handles.

Yes already looking forward to another evening of rapid maneuvers, Mario Kart music and cruising in the Dwemobile

Absolut_Turkey

Reading this thread convinced me to immediately log in and buy the mount. Thanks OP!

The Uninvited

I love it, I bought it, deal with it. Seriously can't wait to have speed maxed to 60 on my Warden.

Don't see many others with it yet. So, unlike here in this topic, it doesn't seem to be that popular in game.

ObsidianMichi

I. Love. The. Dwarven. Mount.

I log on to my little Stamina Sorc just to vroom vroom around the fountain outside Deshaan before gassing it up (feeding it). It moves with a style all its own. You can time its "rear" animation to sync with the new Dwarven spider pet's version! Big and little flappies! Oh! It's the best! Then, you go zooming off on your adventures. They even changed the ride animation so you don't bounce up and down when you move (like you would on any of the others) because its a flat gait just propelling forward. The price was way lower than I expected, plus I bought it with the crowns I got on sale. It isn't even lore breaking.

I've got a need for speed and no one can stop me! Hahahahaha!

Now, I just need some kind of tinker class a la Neramo, Kireth, and Raynor to go with it.

In the meantime, though, I can finally build my dwemer workshop whenever I get around to buying my house. None of the barns will fit this thing so... save for the Daggerfall Overlook?

SpearDusk

My only gripe is the still animations when running, they should add the vibrations, just like when its standing still

ObsidianMichi

I actually have a screenshot, but no video sorry. Here, the Dwemer Mount and it's mini-me in matching mid animation pose.

At speed 60 it goes like the clappers! Add rapid manoeuvre on and it's legs go mental! Best mount yet!

It's the wrong trousers, Gromit, and they've gone wrong!

That's the case for almost all the old animal models. "Old" being the ones that were in the game upon release, I mean.

Creatures introduced by DLCs have models of much higher quality.

Yeah we need a cow mount!! when you press space it will either go MOOOO or instead drop a turd, I can imagine if it did that then it would quickly become the new insult to other players in Cyrodiil.

Donkey would be great.

Rohaus

Agree with OP. Next thing will be a new race added to the game... gnomes...

So when are flying mounts and pink hair being added to the game ZOS?
