    MARKARTH BEAR-DOG

    I've been waiting for this for so long.

    I love the costumes, too.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Of course it will be limited. This was a request of the players. Make lot of sense from a buisness point of view! So many people will hurry to buy it! In addition, it will be nice to not see everyone wearing it!

    I'm totally going to buy those Redguard costume, and maybe even the wolf. I'm using too much crowns on costumes! :D

    A goat devoted to Sanguine ? I wonder what is its purpose... Probably something involving... milking... and making cheese?

    Yes, that must be such a cheesy thing.

    ...

    Somehow I now expect the next update to introduce Sanguine-aligned Satyrs or Faun-like pets. (Or maybe the one of october... nine months from now. )

    I will buy the desert gear for my female alts, but only if they use a better body model than they did with the corset set.

    That was way too thick in the ribcage, and made my lithe little woodelf look like Lawrence Taylor in drag.

    Speaking of which, why does Zeni seem fixated on male transvestism? Could these outfits possibly be female only for a change?

    I agree regarding the model for the Breton costumes. I couldn't understand why their waists all looked so wide in these while they all look so extremely narrow in the noble dress. Also, their shoulders looked rather wide.

    As for female only - none of the outfits are restricted. Male outfits can be worn by female characters, and I like that. Yes, more often than not, you see fat orcs running around in wedding dresses, but...eh, whatever. I'd rather see that than have any restrictions put in place. I want my female dunmer to be able to wear the wedding suit.

    Speaking of which, I wonder how the outfit will look on males? I like that outfits are typically unchanged male-to-female or vice versa... though I think that chestpiece would look rather odd on the lads. Well, the ones that aren't your typical fat orcs, anyway. :)

    They usually dont mention when they are putting items into the crafting category like motifs in the crown store. So keep an eye out for motifs and style materials JUST IN CASE. They didnt utter a word before they put the vamp and werewolf bites in the crown store so there might be a surprise or two this month as well. So be careful of what you want to spend your crowns on :)

    I LOVE surprises. I am being quiet about a camel mount if only because I hope they will surprise us with it when the Thieves Guild DLC arrives, like they did with the first goat pet for the Orsinium DLC! I love surprises like that!

    Speaking of the goats… I really hope that detail about whispers means that this goat's idle animation sounds will include whispers, that would be absolutely wicked! I understand that they are more often than not recolour or the like of previous mounts and pets (which, BTW, I really wished they had recoloured the butterfly for the bear cubs-… I know, I'm extremely petty! :wink: ), but it would be cool if they used that detail of whispers and added it in, so to make the pets a little more different.

    I personally think ZOS would benefit more from making pets, costumes and mounts earnable in game. It is one of WoW's biggest selling points. Hundreds of mounts and pets to collect all over the world. It keeps old content relevant. It adds content and replayability to the game. Rare mount drops from bosses? Well that will encourage people to keep doing that content.

    When you get a rare pet/mount in other mmos, you feel great getting to show it off and telling guildmates and friends but simply buying something from an in-game store is much less satisfying/rewarding.

    I know WoW has microstransactions as well with specific mounts and pets but nothing on this scale and they recently made a mount earnable in the most recent raid instead of their original plan to put it into store for 25 bucks. Many, many more guildies turned up for that weeks raid to get their mount. It brings people back and even encourages people to do content they otherwise wouldn't try and who knows, they might just enjoy it!

    Maybe have that bear-dog earnable by daily quests of raising a puppy you find on the side of a road as you're travelling through skyrim. People love that kind of stuff and it is well within ZOS's abilities to do these things.

    I'm not saying this because I want free stuff, I just want this game to be better and more enjoyable.
