An NPC gives you a friendly hug and offers you kind words of encouragement. Who would it be?

    There's not even a hug emote yet. The closest (and most commonly seen) physical contacts in the game are probably the killing animations when using the Blade of Woe.

    And Ember isn't? the intonations of Ember's voice lead me to believe she'd be the most genuinely caring friend, especially from how she grew up and had to rely on her comrades.

    She may like you, and may even be a loyal friend, but she's too impatient to even fish with you. I'm sure she'd be happy to give you a quick word of encouragement, but eh, I don't particularly like her, I'm afraid.

    I don't know it's entirely appropriate to offer some of these words of encouragement, but if anyone needs them, know that you're awesome and these ESO forums are a richer place for y'all being here.

    In game. I would smack the NPC, take his or her gold, then run.

    I have a sneaky Khajiit, who wouldn't think twice about doing that...

    She doesn't seem the hugging type to me. Supportive, yeah, to a point but if she went in for a hug I'd assume she was after my coin purse :D .

    I would want a real person to do all that, if I needed it. Real human interaction is just better.

    This has bothered me for a long time. We have so little emotes that is interactions with others. We have emotes we do at others but not with. I remember Age of Conan, an mmo I played many years ago, had a large variety of emotes which was great for RP. Like there was three different hug ones. Sure you had to position and time it with someone, but it was nice. You could also use it to hug anything, like the air most of the time or a tree. ESO is sadly lacking in emotes that is common gestures and occurrences. Many are very niche. Took us years to get /warmhands and if people missed the daily reward for it they will likely have to wait until it appear in some crate in the future.

    I agree. I find it quite interesting, actually, that there are plenty of detailed killing animations but not even one friendly, affective emote involving another character directly (I know you can wave, for example, but all of these emotes aren't direct interactions with someone else). Of course this game focusses on fighting, but considering there are many roleplayers, it is strange that there's no way to shake hands, hug a friend or to dance together. Technically, it shouldn't be a problem to have animations that consensually involve more than one character; you could just "target" another player and have them press a key to accept or decline (as it's already implemented with accepting ToT matches or duels).
