Hello

It would be great to have more varied mounts , even dyable maybe ? :) or with different colors.

There could be mountable cats, low-flying dragons, Guars, elegant tigers... elephants... chariots...other Leonardo-da-Vinci-kind of vehicles :) ....more animals in general... that all can be fed to change stats.

Thanx for considering :)

    They've said that they do intend to introduce other mounts. Each will have it's own special abilities, the horses' being the ability to run forever.

    But they're going to make them lore friendly. Soooo... guars and large khajiit are about the only things on your list that would be possible.

    I miss Arvak from Skyrim. Sure you can summon your mount anywhere in ESO so the conjugation feature doesn't matter but the animations were very cool and I'd love to see that in-game. We could also see the great grandsire of Shadowmere haha

    No thank you. I like the simplicity of horses.

    Just imagine Cyrodiil with low-flying dragons and elephants jumping around?

    But something like chariots? Yes, why not? If they give you some kind of battle advantage this could be very interesting. I could also live with guars or senche tigers if they are implemented elegantly.

    Personally I would prefer enhancing the customization of horses in general and stick with horses only.

    Add more breeding options: Color, Size etc.

    Adding more attributes than speed, carrying capacity, Stamina.

    Adding design options like saddles, harnesses, armor, blankets etc

    I must admit I felt that mounts in other MMOs such as WOW were becoming meaningless from WOTLK on.

    During Vanilla it was something special to ride a horse or even a tiger and today everyone has 20 dragons, 40 pony's, polar bears and what not.

    Personally I think limiting it to a horse and a pack guar for storing stuff is my favorite. Don't forget we can also skill our mounts which is a big plus.

    Morrowind is already open. Vvardenfell is closed off, and is likely to remain that way.

    No to Dragons, itr would violate the lore to ridiculous degrees.
    Elephants would be a pain in the backside, so No to them too.

    Guar are on their way, not sure when but I'll wait.

    Senche would be the mountable cats, they are a type of Khajiit, quite a few of us would like them.
    Mechanical Mounts could be fun too.
    And personally I want giant ridable Rabbits (no, I'm not joking) because I think my Khajiit would look hilarious riding one.

    Senche (Battle Cats / Mount Cats), there is a small problem. They are not animals, they have the same mind as the rest of the Khajiit race. So Lore and RP wise, it will be hard to put in the game. Why would they be another faction (AD)? They can and do think after like a normal Khajiit can and also they are people also.

    Bingo. Senche-raht, the mammoth khajiit that 'normal' khajiit ride into battle, would probably never let anybody other than a fellow khajiit (and, even then, usually only their siblings or other kin) ride them. Unless they wanted to restrict them to only being rideable by khajiit (which I would have no problem with, and would actually love to see race-specific mounts), I'd say just leave them out of the game entirely.

    Senche and Senche-raht just wouldn't be anywhere but elsweyr. I've mentioned before that outside of that province they would be viewed as wild animals and lose their autonomy. They could be abused or murdered without any sort of repercussions.

    It's very unlikely that a senche or senche-raht would be comfortable with anyone but a khajiit riding them, and certainly not enough to make them available to everyone that wants them. Since if one person can get one, everyone can get one, which just makes the whole thing common.

    Well, yes.

    Dragons are all-powerful beasts that will not obey anybody, plus they have nearly all been hunted down, the few around are hiding. This means they would be Lore-Breaking.

    I know of no reason not to have Giant Rabbits though, admittedly they haven't appeared in any games, and are not mentioned in books, or songs in the games. And the Devs will probably never do them.

    But I can dream, again admittedly a pretty weird dream, but a dream none the less.

    Actually, I quite liked Paarthurnax and really enjoyed talking with him. I liked him so much I refused to kill him and locked Delphine and Esbern in Sky Haven Temple and never went back to them. Besides as Dragonborn weren't they sworn to protect and serve me? I should have had the option to tell them no I wasn't killing Paarthurnax and them be like, "Ok, we don't like it but you are the boss."

    I do agree no dragons, no weird stuff. Mounts need to be lore friendly.

    I can see why you would think that, but it was a bit more complex than that. Tiber Septim (and by extension his heirs) entered into a pact with the Blades, but it was two-way. Tiber agreed to assist them with their aims, and they agreed to serve, but the games never actually spelt out the details of the agreement.

    Given that they had served the Reman Emperors too, it is probable that each dynasty of Dragonborn struck a deal of some sort with the Blades (or their predecessors the Dragonguards). Given that the Reman Emperors were not father to son Dragonborn like the Septims, it might have been quite complicated in the details.

    Now as a new Dragonborn, it was a new deal, and sadly killing all dragons (especially Paarthurnax) appears to be a non-negotiable clause.

    I agree, but they are individuals and sentient creatures. There are numerous reasons why they may allow a non-khajiit to ride them, but that comes down to how the player wants to justify it.

    So while senche are unlikely, they aren't outside the realm of possibility. Especially compared to dragons and elephants.
