    If the ambient sounds were turned off, it would be a nice thing to play in the background. But instead, hiss hiss, cat purr, fireplace, SCROLLGASMS.

    All jokes aside.....this is one of those things that can kill a game

    The content at least.....there's nothing here that makes sense
    It's like showing us any home we can walk in now and freezing the server while you add items randomly

    I don't know what you guys are talking about, I'm enjoying it very much.
    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.

    Like putting a starfish on the top of a tree.

    Honestly, that was pretty funny.

    I got bored after 15 minutes too. Not really into decoration stuff. Didn't have much money growing up so it just wasn't really a priority irl. I was hoping to see the functional stuff - how crafting works, dummies, etc. Maybe next year.

    I don't have a fireplace :disappointed:

    Also it kinda is 30ºC here at the moment anyway.

    Isn't it 20º+ there all year round anyway? Maybe not in all regions.

    It's not quite as hot on the other side of the pond, but it's still been a very warm December. We haven't had a proper winter in a few years, let alone white Christmas... Rain and mud aren't very festive.

    It is the baffling tradition of broadcasting a stationary fireplace while Christmas music plays in the background-- not exactly must-see TV, but I thought the Twitch stream was a cute nod to that.

    I was confused the entire time, I thought is was going to be a informational ESO Live, instead it was kinda like the Yuletide Christmas fireplace video you put on tv with music, then they just decorated and udecorated, no talking.

    Kept asking in chat if there was going to be any actual info or if it was just displaying the system in sort of a hidden way... As in, we saw things being placed but didn't see the editor itself in use....

    Heheh, pretty much, at least here in Rio. I lived in the southern parts of the country all of my life, though, where the temperature is much lower during the rest of the year (but the summer is still too hot), I only moved here this year. It is not unusual to have fireplaces when you live in the south, but here in Rio there isn't much use for them.

    Additional Feedback to @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    I'd suggest not to offer presentations like this in the future.
    I personally felt a lot of what was done seems very confusing, unclear and created more questions than what we came into the stream curious about.

    I honestly felt this could've been a 2-5 minute video vs hours of what you tried.

    Opportunities for the future:

    -Use the text on screen to answer QnA vs typing in the chat log
    -change the camera views and angles every 1-2 minutes if not more often
    -use visuals to bring the viewers along as there was no spoken audio
    -shorten the stream to 30 minutes
    -provide us with what you hope to accomplish ...4 or 5 things that we should understand or see

    It was certainly creative. Much like that South Park season opener where they did an entire Terrance and Phillip episode instead of resolving the cliffhanger, I'm still not sure if it's brilliant or just trolling.
