    this has been so awfull yes, especially because of the combination of senche and draugr....which breaks lore so much.

    something something your right doesnt make it their wrong something something


    "What were Senche-Tiger Mounts doing in ancient Skyrim, and why were their half-frozen bodies mummified beside the Draugr in certain dark Nord catacombs? And why are they rising now, imbued with animating frost magic? The answers are as yet unknown."

    Frost Draugr Senche mount. It looks like a dead cat someone pulled out of their freezer.

    Well to be completely fair, there are Draugr Wolves in Eastmarch, but they look like normal wolves :|

    I like the senche, wolf and bear lizard mounts. Some of them were in the Murkmire preview video and the only reactions I saw were positive - it was only after it became clear they were crown crate apex mounts and therefore reskins of the existing ones that I saw people complaining. Admittedly it would be better if they had a unique model, but I still like the way they look.

    My least favourite are probably the fire atronach mounts which don't look like fire or lava depicted anywhere else in game (someone called them grilled cheese mounts and not I cannot see them as anything else) and IMO just look silly. Even with the explanation that the atronach mounts are created by teenage mages applying illusions to show off they still look out of place to me. Same with the skeletal mounts, but at least they look like actual skeletons.

    Overall I prefer the ones which look like real animals - even with reskinned frames - over the obviously magical constructs.

    I hate horses in any MMO, even more so if it is in a fantasy game like this with a million other possibilities. The fact you cant get anything than a horse mount in this game makes me hate them even more. Makes me miss Vanguard, where each race had these cool unique mounts for each. Depending on their local creatures. Most regions don't even have horses to them, yet low and behold, it is the only option. Makes me cringe.


    Love, LOVE, the new lizard skinned mounts, they look so detailed. Just wish I could afford to toss money at the crates to try and get one. The bear one was really cute.

    I don't dislike mounts on aesthetics but the strident summoning/mounting sound of a black senche with red embellishments is just intrusive. It's either the shadow-rider or scarlet regret, the obnoxious PpphhhBBBBrrWwwwEeetttt is enough to hate it. :(

    It's the rotting horse with the skin falling off from year two. Gross. Who would want to ride that. You would end up with sticky smelling discharge between your legs.
    I am mostly pleased with the current state of ESO. Please do continue to ban cheaters though and you guys have to find out who is duping gold and how because the economy is currently non-functional.

    Literally any of the fancy glowing mounts. They're like beacons in PvP, stop using them if you don't want to be seen from miles away.
    Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made.

    I play healers or DPS often for vet dungeons and trials (NA, CP810+). I play mostly elves or Argonians.
    I primarily play Damage-Based stuff in PvP, but occasionally I'll play something tanky or got the heals.
    I also love gaining more knowledge both metaphysical and mundane regarding TES lore.

    I also occasionally role-play, but I prefer playing the game.

    draug and wolves is fine. but senche are senche are from valenwood/elsweyr and distant relatives to the khajiit. they have nothing to do in skyrim.

    The senche that we ride or keep as pets are not one of the breeds of sentient Khajiit (Senche and Senche-raht). The word 'senche' can be thought of as a generic term like 'cat'. You can call a lion a cat or a house-cat a cat; or like 'ape' which can be applied to humans, gorillas, chimps, etc.

    The official word from our Loremaster:
    OFFICIAL ANSWER: Moon Bishop Hulan says, “Many hairless ones are confused by the term ‘senche,’ since we Khajiit use it to mean a variety of things. It is used as ‘senche’ and ‘senche-raht’ to refer to two of the seventeen distinct furstocks, or ‘breeds,’ of Khajiit. The senche-raht, in fact, are the largest of us! But we also use the term ‘senche-tiger’ to refer to our more catlike cousins of lesser sentience. Indeed, depending upon the appearance of these cousins, we might even call them ‘senche-leopards’ or ‘senche-panthers.’ So you see that the term ‘senche’ is very flexible indeed, as changeable as the Moons.”

    ETA: Sorry, way OT. The camel-lizard is, in my opinion, by far the worst.

    I like the lizard mounts :/ . I don't have one but the people riding one look more distinguished than they do on any other mount. The flashy fire mounts or ice mounts are par for the course in this game. I don't really say "wow look at that mount" rather it's another generic part of cyrodill. Worst mount default horse. Based on what I've heard bear is worse that's why I never got one can't comment on it.

    The Dwarven Bear reminds me too much of the Dwarven armor in Oblivion, and the intense weight of dwarven scrap metal in Skyrim, which makes it the first that comes to mind when I think of the worst.

    My favorite are the Highland Wolf and the Great Elk.

    I really don't like the skeletal mounts. I have two (free crates) and I won't use them. They nailed the esthetic I think they were going after, roadkill carcass with about a week in the sun. I just see that and it brings up the associated memories of the stench, and all in all I'd rather use something else.

    Yeah I have one from a free crate and it's so painfully ugly I can't even bear to use it over Halloween. I wish I could erase it from my collection.

    The dwemer spider mounts are amazing. The people complaining are just jealous they can't void their bowels while on the move.

    I must echo my dislike for the lizard mounts. The radiant apex ones looks cool. Not so for the regular apex ones. They look like the old Budweiser frogs from the old commercials in the 90s were exposed to radioactive waste.

    And in regards to what is or isn't lore breaking/accurate, this game is owned by the people who own Bethesda. As such lore can be rewritten and revised as they see fit. In a series where dragon breaks can cause ripples and splinters in time, the accuracy of mounts shouldn't be that surprising concerning.
