Other means of ground transport - non mounts

Wolf_Eye

In the previous MMO I was in, there were carriages and carts.

Considering how small and compact the carriages/wagon furnishings in ESO are, I don't think they would be that annoying to have as an additional option for mounts.

a dwemer or clockwork motorcycle would be awesome!
or a daedric bike that uses the machinery we see in Coldharbour.

Please. No.

well why not?
there's wheels. mechanical vehicles that use wheels aren't that absurd

Almost no one outside the Clockwork City even understands how the Dwemer built all they did, much less how it all works. Tamriel is still VERY deep into Medieval technology, and with Magic being so readily available there's no driving force to invent and advance, and I highly doubt Sotha Sil is gonna return to Tamriel as the next Henry Ford.

Which is why the mechanical mount would come from clockwork city and or found within a dwemer ruin. No need to invent when it is pre-existing in lore.

Also, think like you live on Nirn. Why invent a new powered wheeled vehicle, when Portal Magic exists.

The same argument could be for why do we need to ride an animal when portal magic exists.

The obvious answer is that portals are located where they are located and that transport from the portal to the destination still needs to take place.

Machine mounts already exist in game, no reason more can't be created to fill the desires of different players.


That being said, its a HARD NO to a harley style motorcyle. But I do not have an issue with wheeled transport at a fundamental level. Between carts, dwarven theodolites and gears, I am confident in expressing that the denizens of Nirn understand the full use of the wheel in motion.

A self-hover using various different themes would be cool. I'd personally like one that lets a character implement wraith of crow wings as a mount of sorts (just the wings, without the rest of the crow, lol)

No, I'm not asking for flying, just a mount that let's me hover with bird wings

Khajiit wants to grow his toe claws very long, curve them downard under his feet and use them as skates.

So we currently have silk striders, carts and ships in the game that you can interact with for travel but they serve more like a door than anything else.

I’d absolutely love to be able to sit there and watch the travel process - being on a silt strider watching the vvardenfell land go by would be cool; same for people watching them go by. On a ship when I travel initially from Stros m’Kai to betnikh, let me watch! Not the whole time mind you, but let me at least sail on the ship for 20-25s prior to a loading screen. Carts I should be able to ride on and watch the entire time or skip it. Itd add quite a bit to the immersion in the game.

I would love to be hurled by a catapult, even if just once for a quest or something.

i personally hate all animal themed mounts, the closest thing that works for me as a mount is the dwemer spider

if they added a dwarven minecart mount (of which there are actual models of this in the game) i would 100% buy and use nothing but that

personally speaking as well, i generally hate the "mount" system in general, but i also came from city of villains where i could fly, super jump, super speed, or straight up teleport under my own characters power without the need for nonsense mounts lol
