Bear Mounts
Laerian
✭✭✭
Ok, first I have to say that I'm very fine with having horses only. This gives seriousness to the game. 
Today while I was feeding my horses I logged one of my alts in a zone that I haven't been before and went to the nearest stables and:
Sometimes, I can manage to get a bear from the mountains near Orsinium!
Could this be an open window for bear mounts, what do you think?

Sarenia✭✭✭✭✭Noticed that too. And it seems likely.
Either that or Mr. Ratene there is telling a bear of a tale. *snortgiggle*
More mount choices would be great, as long as it doesn't get crazy like other MMOs have done. It's weird to see people flying on pink horses with flames coming out of it's butt. Or ninja panda mounts. Or... ugh.Edited by Sarenia on April 27, 2014 4:23AM[beta_group_85b_9]4 -
Laerian✭✭✭Yes I know what you mean.
I remember my pinky mount collection in RoM, pegasus, unicorns, witchbrooms, lions, flying disks, boars, reindeers, whatever; SWTOR all kind of speeders and creatures, RiFT the same pinky mount madness; WoW, well...
Even Tibia introduced a list of tamed creatures too (after several years and requires subscription). Lotro has only horses (except for a hobby horse lol) the community there wont condone anything else.
The mmorpg list and mount diversity is extense, most as consequence of the F2P model and cash shops.
Anyways, I know this is a long shot, probably a dev joke. But when it comes to "new" ideas everything it's possible. After people getting used to horses, clanfears, monkeys, mudcrabs, etc running around the cities (I have nothing against pets) some dev could think, then why not bears, dwemer constructs, Arvak type mounts, etc.

Mortelus✭✭✭Sigh.... Bears, soon it'll be tigers, then lizards, then flying dragons .... slippery slope coming.
Don't get what the fascination is with different mounts, you go from A to B, that's all their good for.Who has time? But if we never take time how can we ever have time?1 -

I can infer from your interpretation that you don't care if the mount is a horse or a motorbike.Sigh.... Bears, soon it'll be tigers, then lizards, then flying dragons .... slippery slope coming.

Sadly for you, all those mmorpgs I mentioned, added tons of mounts because people buy them and -in some cases- to add new content to their game. It is perfectly possible that TESO developers have the same thoughts.
And btw, I love these kind of arguments. Next time you click the mouse buttons and watching pixels in the screen, remember: you are playing a game.0 -
rawne1980b16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Had a fantastic mount mod in Oblivion.
White lion, can't remember what it was called now though.
Elytra mounts but you could only use them in Shivering Isles.
Skyrim had some good ones too. Dhovabit .... a giant armoured rabbit you could ride.
And I still stand by the fact that Akatosh flying mount mods in Oblivion still work a hell of a lot better than the silly Dragon riding Bathesda added in Skyrim.0 -

✭✭✭No, just horses. In no other TES game there are other mounts then horses (and siltstriders). The flying mount dragon in Skyrim was dumb.

You can infer all you want, but you clearly misunderstood my interpretation.
Clearly I do care If it is a horse or a motorbike, otherwise i'd be more open to the idea of more mounts.
And BTW, I don't remember arguing, I was just stating my opinion on various in game mounts.
happily for me I don't need to play those games, and don't.
for me a horse is fine and given that Zeni are aiming for realism, I think just having a horse is plenty fine.

I am happy with horse only... As long the mounts follow lore and have good logic behind -- other race mounts is a "May Be" I am will be just as happy with no other mounts besides horses.

Why does it have abide all 2165 lore books... oh wait, you read them all? Good for you.
It's not like a pink dragon... It will look awesome. Just because YOU are happy with just horses, doesn't mean the rest of us are.
I personally think that a bear is not breaking immersion as it could still be considered a mount. It could be a PvP or a Raiding reward... something that is gonna be rare. To give it value.
So please, stop being selfish. Think about the community as a whole. For me personally, I think horses should not be the only mounts. I like the idea of diversity to a certain scale that it doesn't break immersion.Khajiit Nightblade - V6--The Brigade--Biggest achievement so far - Veteran Area unlocked at 460 -

✭Hum ... wonder if all mounts will have the same stats , or if bear will be focused even more on stamina/carrying things and less on speed...

The company shapes the lore, not the fans.
So if bethesda said ok , almost anything is possible.
Like we had vampires that take 0 day-light damage or we could ride dragons in skyrim. The simple fact is , they can say something can happen and give us the reason.
If the company did it , it is the lore from that point on."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

So they can add gummi bears. How's that related to my reply to someone accusing others of being selfish while he was no better?0 -

As this is generated lore and not actual lore, then to some degree you are correct. However, expect a backlash from fans if Bethesda or Zeni begin adding things to the game out of the blue.
They created the lore but they have to stick to their original set of rules, and not make any contradictions, otherwise the lore simply fails to hold up. Bethesda pride themselves on their lore.
The vampire thing is just a mechanic as it would be unplayable for vamps to level in daylight, and there's a lot of it. You cannot realistically expect vampires to not play or stay indoors during daylight hours. In a single player game you could just fast forward time.
That said they could have introduced vampires at a later date with their own stories, area's etc... made is so they cannot enter into towns at stage four otherwise they are attacked on site by the guards, made it so they can be attacked by any player anywhere at stage four, and generally made them more closer to the vampires of the original games.
What they have now is a cop-out IMO.

And can you imagine the screaming from vamp players on Cyrodiil PvP? As it is, at least there's a rotating day/night cycle that ensures a few hours on various days are 'nighttime' during prime playing hours for different time zones.You cannot realistically expect vampires to not play or stay indoors during daylight hours
Imagine, though, that the entire East Coast's prime playing hours were daylight in Cyrodiil...0 -

And that is totally not what happens in skyrim if you add the DLC , which is my case.
You can be vampire in skyrim , nobody will atk you , you can walk during the day without sun burn ...
People also did not atk you in oblivion , you only had to deal with the sun burn , but you could out heal the damage without a problem. That i remember quite well since i used to do it.
So are we going back to morrowind?
The point is , the game changes with time and so does the lore , the vampires are quite the good example since they change quite a bit from game to game.Edited by Nox_Aeterna on April 29, 2014 1:07AM"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
