    This is not Harry Potter; that would look completely ridiculous. They’re already pushing past the boundaries with skeletal mounts.

    Skeletal mounts aren't pushing lore. Just look at Arvak. A hovering broom mount would be amusing.

    My GF loved the vibrating Harry Potter broomstick. Sad day when it broke.

    Didn't someone complete VMA with a broom and bucket? So, sure, they're already in the game. Just make those broomsticks fly! Or at least hover over the roads...

    Some people are so obsessed with fake lore they forget it's a game with "magic"

    Nothing in lore is pushing the boundaries when magic is real. Hell they say no dragon well I'm pretty sure they could summon a magic dragon to ride on it, not a real one and it would not break lore bc MAGIC!

    And I'm pretty sure a mage in TES universe can make a damn broom float

    no doubt those of us who care about lore are huge nerds but there's specific limitations built into the lore surrounding magic use, which you would be aware of if you had either actually played any elder scrolls games or were not making a bad faith response to people's concerns.

    Not sure if this has been brought up before. Since it's close to Halloween, can't there be something more unique like a broomstick mount? It doesn't even have to fly high like ones in shows, movies, etc. It can just be the same as a standard mount but just have it hover above the ground.

    Can I get a flying carpet for my stamplar to spam jabs from? :)

    oh please...

    levitation is an actual thing in eso lore (morrowind) so please explain to me how a levitating broomstick would be breaking lore?

    I never said it would be. I did imply that it would be unnecessary, because you can levitate in the first place, and inefficient, because levitating much more than you have to is going to leave you a simpering, magicka-less mess.

    you replied to a comment that was asking how it would be breaking lore, i am sorry for asuming you were addressing their question when you quoted them!

    you never implied anything of the sort by the way, you simply made a random self depricating comment about being a nerd (its 2017 btw that word had been reclaimed and is now a status symbol - your using it wrong)

    you mention 'limitatations' but since you were not clear about what limitations you were discussing, and the post you were replying to was refrencing dragons and im not psychic, and you made no direct comment re: levitation im just gonna go with
    LOL ok! whatever!

    So because one special unique undead horse was created in soul cairn and got into nirn because a one of a kind vampire lord created a portal and sent the last dragonborn there and they took this horse back, that is enough explanation why there are 30 skeletal mounts standing around in mournhold?
