Climbing mechanics in future?

AefionBloodclaw

I've just started the Thieves Guild dlc, and Quen has climbed up over a gate to get over it. I would like to see this ability for players in a future patch, the animation is clearly there, and I am sick and tired of having waist high walls and rocks etc that I can't get over, its so unrealistic and immersion breaking. Sometimes I have to mount up and only then have the ability to jump over. It would also be amazing to have a proper, decent traversal system instead of simply move back and forward and jumping. There are numerous instances in the game where you have to jump instead of simply walking over or climbing/scrambling over. I also often walk into ankle-high steps that my avatar won't cross unless I jump, which to be honest, is quite pathetic.

It would be awesome and pretty much standard. It's damn 2018 and we still can't climb on things when in the water for instance. INB4 impossible coz engine tho...

Turelus

From what I have seen of ESO I think it would only be possible in a "Push Interact to move to new location" rather than seeing the characters actively climb something. Where this is a engine issue (as Synthwavius hit on) I can't say.

I would personally just be happy if they took away the sliding off roofs and let us stand on them again.

During one of the last Dark Brotherhood quests, Green-Venom-Tongue slithers up and over a locked gate in Knightsgrave.
Always thought it looked awesome (!) and it would be very cool if we could do something like that ourselves at one point.

OMG she's done it again!!! Quen's just jumped back and forth between 2 walls Tomb Raider style to get up to a higher ledge. There is clearly the animation there, I want the ability to do that!!! It's so frustrating and immersion breaking not being able to do that, plus I'm a bosmer so there's no reason I shouldn't be able to do that.

I'd be happy if when running and jumping, we had forward motion instead of just falling straight down!

I want to see the pvp salt if they implement it.

If it is going to be as ugly as in BDO... no point

Well I would like to see the climbing mechanics that conan exiles has. Maybe not in pvp zones for obvious reasons but other areas of the game. Would be neat to see us climbing upwalls if we wished too.

They could add placeable ladders to climb up walls. One at a time of course while one player is forced to support the ladder. Players have to defend against enemies scaling up into the keep then taking it that way. Making the use of oil more important! Bet a lot of players would be against it though.

Yeah I don't care much for pvp, I just want it for pve. Haven't played Conan but yeah ran into more knee high walls in Abah's Landing and its like urgh, they put planks and everything everywhere so you can get up higher and even piles of barrels and crates to get up onto walls, probably trying to make it like Assassin's Creed or something but with No traversal system. Bet they thought it was so cool, they were probably thinking "awww yeaaahhh players will be able to go across rooftops" but nup. Without a traversal system those piles of boxes are just frustrating trying to jump up onto them.
