Will you be getting the new Merchant and Banker?

    I wanted to save up to get a banker, as I have received the merchant as a kind gift.

    Now to decide between having a second alfiq, or a crow. I wanna see it first in game.

    As much as I love Raven Court characters <and that golden voice acting> I must say that 10K Crowns is just too much of an investment for something that will only be a cosmetic difference from my already owned Alfiqs, which I also love.

    I'll do everything I can to interact with them as often as I can :love:

    If it’s just the crows and not some dude holding the crows, yes. Even though I already have both kitty ones. Because I have a murder that comes by daily for their peanut offering and we’ve bonded enough that they actually leave me little “gifts” sometimes in thanks for the peanuts.

    When they line up on the fence to watch me toss out their treats, I greet them with “Crow friends!” Even though I know it’s how the Court crows address the Vestige, it seemed appropriate to flip it for greeting my crow friends. :smiley:

    Yes, eventually there will be a discount, either for everyone or for ESO Plus people.

    I already have the redguard merchant and am not keen on paying such a steep price again, but... I have no banker.

    Did anyone else notice in the banker's picture how he's not perched correctly on the person's arm because the coin in his claw is a part of the model? It would look much more natural on flat ground, which I'm hoping means the handlers and just there for the preview photo. I'm also just grasping at straws until we know for sure though...

    Depending on the price, I would like to get the merchant. Don't need a banker.

    I hope they fly down when you summon them, and fly off when you put them away, rather than just fade in and out like the others.

    I'd like a merchant and have been holding out waiting for these to show up in the crown store. I already have a banker. I don't really need a merchant but these are interesting enough I'd bite.

    Ravens and Crows are smart birds. Crows actually have a good memory and if you abuse one they communicate that to the rest of the flock, which they believe who will also communicate that to other family flocks. Just a fyi, I read that on the Natgeo site I think. So yes I want a crow. I use to put a peanut out everyday for one who would come visit me to get his treat. They are neat animals, I know this is pixels but it reminds me of my feathered friend who use to visit everyday.

    There are 3 crows that hang around my neighborhood. I've been feeding them for years and they have become very comfortable around me. They sit on the fence or the neighbor's roof and caw when they want food, and will fly down and stand on the sidewalk about a foot away from me and watch as I break up a slice of bread for them. They have even brought me gifts, like shiny beads and marbles. I feel honored to have earned their trust.

    I wonder why Zenimax does not sell these as skins at a price that would still be advantageous for them. I would expect some players that already have merchants would be interested in changing their appearance without paying full price again.

    The bankers and merchant are not as realistic as my 2 khajiits.

    If I want to summon them I go to catch a fish and they show up right as I catch one.

    If I get the crows I think they might get eaten by Ebazi for sure.

    As much as I like the crows, it will probably be expensive as heck, and therefor I give it a pass.

    I already have the banker who spent time in Whiterose prison. He said it was a horrible place. I place him in all my houses and no matter how horribly decorated they are, they are better than Whiterose prison.

    It depends, if they are 5K and they don't come with the NPC holding them possibly.

    I kind of like the idea of one of those pesky birds perched on my forearm.

    Nope. Two reasons:
    - I already have both cats and never buy redundant.
    - I don't like ravens/crows.

    I imagine the banker is like: "Have some shiny trinkets for me, featherless?" :smiley: They look cool, but it depends on their animations and voice, besides, my Tythis and Nuzhie are still distraught about the alfiq, I don't want to shock them again :sweat_smile:

    A lot of people are making a good point. It all comes down to the fact that they are a cosmetic for a function already bought.

    I don't need a crow appearance that badly.

    OMG!!! SOOO MUCH YES!!! I *semi* wanted the khajit banker/merchant only because...mildly cute. But a part of me always hated them for being so...obviously, cute. The crows are the perfect middle range - still distinctive, but not-necessarily-cute - I will hug them and squeeze them and call them "george"
