Gorilla Mount

Ebonheart1111 · August 2016

Attn ZOS: Would be so nice to have a Gorilla mount when Elsweyr drops in memory of Harambe. Rip

Prove that such a mount is lore friendly. If it is not lore friendly, then it has no place in ESO.

Ebonheart1111 · August 2016

True. Though its not certain what manner of beast roam the deadric planes. A deadric ape might not be hard to find in somewhere like the shivering isles, or even evergloom.

Unfortunately, we already have the Dire Wolf, which is from Lore from something else entirely.

This will one will think that she will pass on "stuff turkey this year." The BROWN Stuffing does not look that good...

Make a Doom Harambe - easy.

"This resurrected gorilla was initially bred for the purpose of breeding, only instead of female gorillas, it seemingly made men between the ages of 18-30 get their *** out instead - now it's a zombie and you can ride it on ESO, all lore friendly - some of those in the Dark Brotherhood chose a more hominid-esque means on transportation."

@k9mouse I'm thinking a palanquin carried by Imga servants, myself. Those are close enough to gorillas to count, right?

k9mouse · August 2016

The Imga tried to be very Mer like in many aspects. I do not think an Altmer will let someone used him or her as mound. In the same logic applies to the Imga race.

I'm not even sure this is serious. Lore is whatever they say it is.

Lore does have internal logic (ie there is a reason there is no guns, computes, etc in ESO) and does have history to follow (what BGS said has happened in TES I to V) ESO is 1000 years before TES V and about 800 years before TES III and IV.

In many player's eyes, BGS lore has more weight than ZOS / ESO lore masters. Therefore, ZOS must follow the lore that is made from BGS.

(BGS = Bethesda Game Studio, a sister company to ZOS. Both are owned by Zenimax Media Inc. ID Games, maker of DOOM games is also own by ZMI. There is also Bethesda Software Company (owned by ZMI as well) that does hands the shipment of games to the stores and online stores.)

Plus lore can be added to.

I'd prefer a Stibbons mount. Less likely to revolt.

So, what sex is Shadowmere? Male or female? Good luck with that one.

aahhh harambe mount with flames on his shoulders and his tail. Sold

andreasranasen · August 2016

I rather not have a gorilla as a mount. I just don't think it will LOOK GOOD. I can just imagine 20 people on the back of gorillas in PvP.. No thanks!

I just imaged that also, and it was GLORIOUS. Nothing would strike more fear in the heart of an opposing faction as a charging wave of zerglings riding majestic and proud gorillas.

Isn't Shadowmere a personification of Sithis and thus chaos? Shadowmere could decide to be a Guar next game if he/she/it wanted.

Well...firearms are a relatively simple invention of which the most complex step of creating them is being able to create the propellant (gunpowder).

People (both IRL and in the Elder Scrolls universe) are always looking for better ways to kill each other, and they tend to catch on rather quickly. Chances are that if firearms don't exist, it's because explosives haven't been created yet. The two tend to go hand-in-hand.

Firearms are actually a rather old invention (the Spaniards had them when they came to the Americas 500 years ago, and even then, they were in use before that), so I suspect that we may see firearms very soon in future Elder Scrolls games. It's only a matter of time before an alchemist discovers how to create gunpowder...

Kindlepitch.

I suspect the reason Tamriel has no guns has more to do with Tamriel has magic, and why would you carry around a tube full of explosive powder and a bag of shot when you can wave your hands a certain way and get a fireball--the latter having the advantage that you don't need any sort of equipment if you have the training, the spell doesn't care if your hands are wet, and it isn't likely to blow up because someone dropped their lantern by accident. Sure it's useful in certain scenarios to have non-magical explosives, but most of the population has magicka, whereas the alchemical equipment would need to be purchased and maintained...
