Interactions with pets / mounts

Tyrion87 · November 2015

Is there any official info regarding introducing some interactions with our pets? I love them to death, especially the little bear (which I named "Honey"

), but I'd like to be able to stroke or hug it, play with it (maybe some minigames?), feed it, and give some commands to do, e.g. to pick up some stuff or even to steal things. I don't want them to fight for us though but I think that having a passive bonus while they are set active would be a good idea. I think that some interactions need to be added for mounts as well and there should be a possibility to fight while mounted. What interactions would you like to be implemented to the game?

But be that as it may, I am not sure about pet interactions. Or mount interactions.
Maybe if they add player housing, they could add something along those lines... a "pet basket" piece of furniture that allows your pet to be active in the house independent of you? A stable where you can visit your mount?
Or perhaps some pet-interaction emotes? Those ought to be possibe I suppose...

Passive boni on the other hand... if they added that sort of thing, everyone would have a pet active at all times for the bonus, adding to game lag. Not something I'd like to see encouraged.

Mounted combat on the other hand... yes, I would love to eventually see something like that, charging knights and horse archers... perhaps even chariots...

At this point, I would be way more interested in individual mount customization options. Like, getting a -choice- in saddle, track, armor and bag style. Being able to color those to match my character outfit. That sort of thing.
And of course, way more mount options, but I guess those will come to the crown store in time (I really would love to see a black dire wolf for my main character to ride...)

I would love to see that in game. And I want others to see my pet's name too.

I would buy a cat pet and create a new char if this were a thing, just so I could go into a daedric ruin and do this on the throne;

I want to carry my baby Guar over small rivers (where I still can walk)

And of course I want to pet my pet, or to pat the pet? What's up with these odd words in English? xd

It also would be awesome if the pets from different players would interact with each other, like playing or fighting, as long as the players are standing close enough to each other.

No interaction, but an animation which I think would be cool: the Panther trying to catch its own tail while the player is in idle

My beta monkey does the whole picking up things from the ground and eating it thing that monkeys do; I think it's just the pets that don't appear in-game as mobs that don't have custom wait animations.

yuk! I didn't even think about that this way but now... I can't stop from seeing my post a little bit different...

Direct interactions between character and pet might be unlikely, due to how they are connected to the character, but some scripted emotes involving the pets and mounts would be great to see.

Pets are fine , except that is those dang flying sorc pets in tight quarters (banks and some crafting area's) PLEASE Zos, when ms sorcy goes into any cover have that flying thingy disappear, everyone knows it interfer's with line of sight.

All you sorc's that have to run with that flying thingy while in any building please just cancel the dang thing when in a building, be nice to your fellow players.

One other sorc over use is, lightning form, come on do u really need it on constantly ??????? NO
