Sheesh. This is getting ridiculous.

All these reskinned different colored mounts.

Why don't they just let us dye our mounts already? lol

Not cool ZOS.

And I'm a fanboi.

It might be "just" a videogame, but if I play TESO and I see Huey, Dewey, and Louie selling armors in Cyrodill something is wrong. No matter how much imagination you have.

Anyone else remember that point in Baldur's Gate where you could meet Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl? Heck, you could even get their autographs...

cant tell if you people just look for things to complain about at this point lol, its just a mount its not exactly lore breaking, plus

theres no real background info on this http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Shadowmere_(Oblivion)

and i assume this new mount came from http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Frostmere_Crypt

Lore, like history, is whatever you want it to be.

The issue here I think is believability - and that is a different thing from realism.

It is believable that a world could exist where there is limited magic, daedra and ghosts etc. It somehow goes a bit too far to have an entire horse made of ice. Even in a magical world there are rules and boundarys and limits.

yet its alright is we speak dragon, ride dragons and use dragon shouts but man an ice horse, that just ruins my immersion right there. gone TOO far
really?

That would defeat the purpose of having different mounts... and I'm pretty sure it's animal cruelty lol.

Instead, I want to be able to dye my saddle and mount accessories. Sometimes the color of those clashes so badly with the actual mount and my character's armor.

If you could dye your horse, it would become My little Pony Unlimited online.

No thanks.

It has been since the Nightmare was released. Colorful cheesy mounts for all the snowflakes to show off. What great content we've gotten in the last 6 months.

Giddy up boy

I'd rather spend Crowns on Horse Armor Packs (Dwarven, Daedric, Glass, etc.) instead of reskins... Wait a minute, there's an idea.

Me too, @Spectral_Lord. Check out this thread suggesting mount equipment: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/165659/tangible-mounts-advanced-concept

The funny thing is, if their lore master comes and posts something he makes up... it's then TES lore and you have to accept it.

Exactly! It's a fabricated world that can have things added or removed by the makers at anytime. Sorry.

The bottom line is this... as this game takes place before every other game in the series then ZoS could literally add TERA Cop Cars to the game, say they are from Sheogorath's Mad Realm and then BAM!!! It's LORE for the rest of the series!

Which, again, is the problem. Lack of continuity and terrible explainations is not something I particularly enjoy. ESO is already the "Phantom Menace" of the series, I really don't mind being vocal when things get added that contradict the previous (RE: better) games.

If ESO is the Phantom Menace, are Redguard Adventures and Battlespire the expanded universe?

Preamble: While the following post/rant is in reply to ZeroInspiration's post it is not entirely directed at them. Some of it is also directed at ZOS (the majority) and some of it is directed at the parts of the community who don't see the issue with just parachuting in Strange New Creatures with no explanation (lore or otherwise) before/during/after doing so.

Easy lore explanation:

It's a frost atronarch bound to a horse.

Enjoy your lore appropriate mount.

Great. So what other creatures are bound in this fashion? When do we get our Frost Guars and Frost Senche? Can we bind them to ourselves to take on some of their aspects?

What? They didn't specify? You don't know?

That's right. They didn't.

...what we are now doing is coming up with lore explanations that ZOS should have presented with the items in question (Fire Horse and now Ice Horse) at the same time or before they went in, but they didn't.

...these creatures should have been integrated into the world, but they weren't.

...these animals should have been made available through a quest, or daedric bargain or in fact any damn thing that was actually in-game at that point in time, but they weren't.

Instead they were just dropped into the world through the Crown Store as the first Kewl Shiny Mount (with others to come) and left to overflow into the game experience of all and sundry with no explanation whatsoever.

ZOS could have saved themselves a fair amount of backlash from threads like this had they actually bothered to try and make these things in the world. They didn't. They haven't. They aren't.... so here we are again.
