I'm sure I've seen a video of a dev talking about pve interactivity, and trying to find the right balance between people having more freedom in the world and making sure people interacting with things doesn't slow down the game too much. I believe the example was of that player who dropped 1,000 cheese rolls down a mountain in Skyrim, the dev didn't want stuff like that crashing the game for other players but he wants the world to feel more interactive and fun .

These devs seem out of touch sometimes. I don't think anyone has ever asked to be able to drop all their things in the world and have other players see them and have them have individual physics. The kinds of things we would like are...

Sitable chairs
Layable beds
Climbable ladders
Picking up items we see in the world (this has actually been improved GREATLY since initial launch)

We're not asking for cheese waterfalls. If they really used that as an example they are either being dramatic or they don't know what we mean by "interactivity".

I honestly can't find the video again where I saw that, I'm pretty sure it was exclusively referring to picking up objects though. That's why there isn't a "drop" feature on items.

I'm comfortable saying that I'm one of the more... erm... demanding ESO players. I think I feel like there is a LOT more missing from this game than the average ESO player. I mean I have made several posts and a thread about the fact that there the moon Secunda doesn't reflect on the surface of the water:

That REALLY bothers me... but even I don't expect players to be able to drop stuff in world.. imagine the mess!!!

If it makes you feel better, when you use the /impatient emote in water or sand, the splashing etc. occurs on the wrong foot.

Hey @attackjet , I'm loving the passion you're bringing to this... You might really enjoy learning about ESO Dwarves... AKA... the Dwemer. Their name means "Deep Ones" or "Profound People". They're not tiny, short or fat like other Dwarves. They're generally the size of all other races. I think the reason they're called Dwarves is because they were underground dwelling.

IIRC, the actual name Dwemer meant deep elves. The name Dwarves is a mistranslation of their name. If you want to slot them into a more conventional fantasy role, and you know D&D, the best description for them would be steampunk Drow, without the spider fetish and infighting, while being slightly friendlier.

I always considered the Dunmer to be the closest TES race to the Drow.

And in Aldmeri "Mer" means "Ones, People, or Folk"... it doesn't translate to "elves" directly but contextually... yea... elves.

On the subject of mer, it's conventional use is as a catch all for elves. Though, you're right about the Aldmeri. Though, anytime someone refers to them as deep ones, all I can think of is this:

With the Drow comparison. The dark elves are explicitly, well, dark elves. And they draw a lot of inspiration from Forgotten Realm's Drow. Though, at the same time, when you're talking about the always evil elves with a vast underground empire? Then I start thinking of the Dwemer. Maybe not the most fair comparison, but still.

No zombies, I don't see what they can become that vamp isn't able to become. As for dwarves I would like to see them, just not in this game (possibly TES 6 or 7 will take place in the time when they disapeared so we will get to know what happen, there dwarf could be a playable race but preferably not anywere else).

But I would like to see a way to become a daedra in some way (you make a deal with one of them and they give you some power). Could be a cool third "form" for you to become

Mindless.

The dwarves disappeared as a result of them derping around with Lorkhan's Heart. A red stone that may have been the literal heart of the missing god. They intended to use it to transform their entire race into immortal gods. Obviously the procedure didn't go exactly as planned, because once they used it, every Dwemer in existence disappeared. Note that, "in existence" part. One Dwemer, Yagrum Bagarn was in the process of teleporting between two Dwemer colonies when the heart snuffed them, and arrived at the other end alive, unharmed, and alone. He's still alive at the time of ESO, and will continue to live at least through most of the 3rd era.

The Chimer, seeing that the Dwemer had just vaporized their entire race, thought licking the heart to see if it was strawberry or cherry flavored was a good idea. So three of their leaders (Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec) decided to play with the heart some. Nerevar Indoril and Dagoth Ur thought this was a spectacularly terrible idea (probably) and Nerevar got snuffed for it, while Dagoth Ur got to branded a traitor. The three proceeded to slap the stone around a bit, transforming themselves into living gods. And then Azura cursed the Chimer, charring their skin and turning the eyes red. (If you ever wondered what happened to those high elf looking fellas in Stonefalls, well, now you know.) Then they wandered off to have fun, while Dagoth Ur repeated the process making himself a god in the process.

And that's what happened to the Dwemer.

EDIT: Typos.

Litch as a skilline they could add instead of zombie, with ice and undead attacks and such
but dwemer...? I dont even, they were a race of mer that dissapeared, the automatons u see now or the remnants of machines the dwemer build fyi

For Lich? You need heart of a lich, tongue of a dragon, and flesh of a well ridden horse. It's sure to make you undead.
