    In matter of fact, not that they should not be in new chapter, they are totally in line with Lore and Skyrim chapter.

    Loading screen from Skyrim is self explanatory:

    They are totally spot on.

    But did you see them standing around Whiterun with people on their backs?

    Nope, but due to their size, and also since this is a fantasy game, I see no issues in one taming them and using as a mount.
    As long as they are lore friendly, and lets be honest, those are more lore friendly mounts in comparison what we could see in Casino Crates so far.
    Also they are vampire creatures, and since, I don't know, 70% of players are vamps already, they are even less of an issue.
    Sorcerers Daedric spawns are not attack by guards, why should be tamed decaying vampire puppy mount :#

    Yeah, we are so far past the line, it is just a fleeting memory.

    As pets, yes. As mounts? No. Like the dog mounts, they should have stopped just before they did it.

    lol exactly. IMO it's ridiculous, but it's what brings money: cosmetics. I truly wished that this game was more immersive, more mature or "realistic", but I conformed myself long ago. LotRO was the only MMO I played that had all of that.

    Not as mount(skyrim only had boring horse and harvak) but you could have them as battle pet and bring them there without any risk from the whiterun guard,why would it be different if its a mount over a pet

    But then ZO drew a new line by introducing necromancers and making any of their obviously necromantic abilities earn them a bounty.

    If summoning a skeleton makes a guard go all poo-faced, they should just as poo-faced at the sight of someone sitting on an undead horse or hound.

    I think its because your not doing it in the privacy of your own home. Obviously using people for your necromantic arts might actually be far worse to many of the citizens then having a mount that looks like it came from an exotic merchant. But if npcs were like players and had actual intelligence and life to them. I think they might look down on a lot of the mounts. I do wish they could make the bounty system on a zone by zone basis or based on the alliance that controls the area instead of every Guard in Tamriel knowing about it.

    I agree that many of ESO's mounts of gaudy and totally outside of the Elder Scroll's aesthetic.

    I do my best to tune them out when I see them. Especially the tragically obvious "players" sitting on mounts which are currently on sale in the crown store or crate for a limited time only, in crowded spots. They don't look at all like viral advertising!

    But my point stands.

    Like the necromancer player abilities which are obviously necromantic, this mount and the zombie horse are obviously necromantic.

    my whole issue with all of this is...i know they need to make money and i guess flashy (or fleshy - pun intended) sells... but the more of these non lore friendly crazy mmo types of mounts and outfits and the such are added the more and more the game becomes less and less an elder scrolls game...and thats just sad

    What about the zombie horse, the plague horse or the skeleton mounts? All of them would have the entire town losing its mind and guards chasing you down.

    Don’t like it? Then don’t use it. I think it looks cool, so if I eventually change my mind and pre order the chapter, I’ll definitely use it. Your immersion is not my problem.

    I'm so tired of people with weak stomachs trying to sanitize this game. I honestly think a big reason why Necromancer is so "BOO HALLOWEEEN" instead of what it should have been is because of people like this. There are TONS of MMOs out there which don't have things like this. I want MORE decay, rot, and gore.

    It would be like going playing FFXIV and saying you don't like some of the Asian style mounts. Just stop.

    After half dead horses and glowing green tree mounts and skeleton undead bear mounts and stupid Dr Gyroscope dwarven insect mounts and a billion butt-ugly Indriks, the death dog mount is the molehill you want to die on?

    I kind of like the idea of a legion of Khajiit riding their dead dogs to war over the crest of a hill.... cats on dogs...

    See. Totally fun mount.

    Also, as much as I don't like the concept of Casino Crates, fortunately they are too expensive for most of the people to waste money on, so fortunately those ridiculous stuff is not so often to be seen around.

    If I'm not mistaken, around $900 with the blessing of RNG God is needed to collect all from active crate edition.
