Concerning the Master of Schemes personality...

Hvíthákarl · April 4

Maybe it's just me, but I just got to preview said personality and while I love its concept and most of how it looks, there's a caveat for me aka: the height at which your character's crosses their arms feels off? I feel it's way too high to look natural, like, Vestige crosses their arms right in front of their neck. IMO it should be lowered a bit (mid chest height) so it would look more organic and less like "wtf you're doing my fellow in [insert aedra/daedra/deity]", especially when looking from the side. I'd love to heart y'all thoughts on this, bc as I said maybe it's 100% a me thing lol

Yes it felt off to me as well, so I decided to pour all my tickets into getting that pony

Malyore · April 4

I'll use the personality to hug my companions

Walk is pretty good

LanteanPegasus · April 4

Are the idle and the walk the only things this personality alters?

And you are right, it IS off... Somehow reminds me of the "I dream of Jeannie" series, when she crosses her arms and does that blinking thing to do magic - perfect association for some evil scheming personality. *gg*
The walk is done well, indeed.

Returning player here - can I still get this Personality since I did not collect them in the first quarter of 2024?

New Life festival will always return this year's Morphable Fragments. If you somehow miss acquiring it during that event, then it will take a few years until it returns to Philius Dormier's inventory (like the Unstable Morpholith returned last year and the Soulfire Dragon Illusion returned this year).

It is the collectible for Q2 of 2024. You didn't miss anything. The last piece should be available during the Zeal of Zenithar event next week.

belfong · June 18

From what I read, the final fragment will be available next week. But I don’t even have the first few fragments. I don’t think I have enough event tickets to buy all the fragments.

Zeal of Zenithar will give a total of 39 event tickets so you should be able to get enough tickets for all 3 fragments.

though it will very likely return during New Life Festival so you could get other fragments then too

It IS off!

They could have achieved the same by simply pulling the shoulders a bit higher, giving the back a slight arc backwards, and pulling the ellbows a bit closer together.

They should give their animators a large mirror (or better three of them) so they can check their pose ideas by mimicing them themselves.

There are a few other animations I checked out on PTS.
/angry

/beckon

/doom

/idle2

I do have to say that I'm not a fan of the arms crossed so high instead of naturally, but on the other hand that walk style is also 11/10.

Any update on the Master of Scheme’s Personality animation being updated with lowered folded arms into an obviously more natural pose? I think everyone agrees it looks off and odd to just hold ur arms in front like a confused samurai when it’s meant to be a cool grumpy arm fold

Please let us know if it’s gonna be fixed, otherwise I won’t waste my time hoping to equip a fixed version on my Necro char

Dojohoda · June 22

I applied it to a dark elf. It goes with her scowling face.

RaikaNA · June 22

I agree with everyone else here. The personality needs to be worked on... The folding of the arms at such high height doesn't seem natural to me. I mean who does this IRL? Its nearly impossible to do it without hugging yourself. This needs work, and I don't know how this got a pass, and was able to be published.

@ZOS_Kevin What's the story behind this anyways?

I_killed_Vivec · June 22

Unnatural? Sounds like some people need to get down the gym and work on their pecs

No workout in the world will grant people the G-Cub required to make this personality look good on females.
The arms literally rest on an invisible chest extension.

It looks awful.

Then we have the normal /crossarms emote, that in fact looks realistic:

And the /crossarms emote on the furious personality? - Chef's kiss:

Perhaps somebody just picked a bad pose reference for it.

Your typical dunmer having a great day!

Elvenheart · June 22

It does have a very I dream of Jeannie look about it. I’m not sure that’s what they intended.

tomofhyrule · June 22

I definitely would be a lot more excited to use it if the arms were crossed more naturally.

The walk animation alone is absolute perfection, but I'm still waffling between this one and Telvanni Magister for one of my characters just because the default idle for Master of Schemes is a bit on the goofy side. I did put in a ticket when it was previewable on PTS that it looked off, but I suppose this is how it was intended.

Still has the best walk cycle though.

The walking animation is beautifully done. Couldn't agree more with it.

Holmarion19 · June 23

Having received the Molag Bal Polymorph from the current round of crates, would have to say that this personality, high folded arms and all, fits him perfectly.

Rebirthment · June 23

Everyone is talking about the arms but the legs spread out makes my character look like they're trying to pass out a big one
