The cats don't blink

I already have the Dunmer banker, but I will probably pick up up both of the cats anyways since I have crowns burning a hole in my crown store wallet.

I would prefer to have the Alfiq, but i just bought the original banker last Saturday. oh well

Are they really that small? It's going to be difficult to find then when there a number of players around.

Yes see that as an issue, i guess they love hiding under robes.
Might pick up the banker but will want to see how it behaves, might group up some in guild just to look.

Cats, of course. Alfiqs can't talk, the lore says. That way I won't have to bother with the banker's speech impediment ("SSSSSSSSpeak with me a moment") or hear the word "bargain" so much that I have a whole Doctor Strange scene running in my head each time I have to use Nuzimeh's services.

*plays Elsweyr a bit*

Oh well, so much for the lore, I guess.

I'll keep my normal assistants, then.

you could ask customer support. They may trade it out for you. It couldnt hurt to ask.

Would love to have the cats, but I own the originals and am not spending another 10,000 crowns for a re-skin.

They needed a discounted path for current owners...they've gotten the last of my money, aside from my yearly sub.

@Uryel
Thought the existance of Alfiq and Alfiq-raht has been in the lore for quite some time. The former can't speak while Alfiq-raht can.

Cats are cute, but personally like the others more. I would rather have a Dunmer merchant though.

Fezez the Alfiq merchant was a great buy, and no, he doesn’t have more functions than Nuzimeh like repair. All I need now is the male Imperial banker and I’m good. I’m so glad they released these, I refused to buy Nuzimeh for 3 years this is more like it.

We need him in all his muttonchop, mustache, chinstrip glory. I'm so curious how he sounds.

I don't think the cats are better I think people want them because they are new. The cats are cute and all but they serve the same function and I feel they would get boring.

As long as these remain in the store, all i have to do now is wait for a banker sale. I've managed this long without one, And surviving on ESO+Trials that I can continue to wait.

Alfiq, hands down. I don't really need any of them, but yeah.... I'm getting the Ezabi (um, is that right) for both my accounts. I don't need the merchant. Well, I don't need the banker either, but I simply can't resist.

I'm a cat person. I don't have one IRL right now (because my last oldest kitty died just before we had to have the big dog she ran around the house put down, and our new dog doesn't "know" kitties, and since she's SO an "only dog".... well, can't go there....)

So. Alfiq will do me.
