What sort of personalities/animation variables you wish?

Actually one that would be nice for a horse would be trot, galloping through town seems a bit weird.

I can sort of manage this by toggling 'walk' while on a horse, but my mount speed is fully upgraded. Someone with base mount speed might just get an intolerable plod rather than a brisk trot.

Remember when the game lauched and you were riding with walk on, pressing sprint there would not toggle gallop but instead a faster trot like thing which was still slower than normal riding speed but significantly faster than basic walk.

I wish that would return to the game.

Actually an appearance addition where you could select different theme for idle, combat, riding, walking, stealth and running for example would be great.

The most important for me is MODULAR personalities! I'd love to get a list of the idles and emote overrides that each personality I've bought uses, then add them to a "custom personality" of my own design. For instance, let's say you like the Heroic idles but the Commander walk animation. No problem, substitute it out! Or let's say you love everything about the Drunk personality except the throwing up bit. No problem, just deselect that one idle event! This would also be a reason to buy many different personalities, as any one of them may have bits and pieces of animation that we'd enjoy.

Please and thank!

You're asking way tooooo much. I think 4 personality per class and 10-20 unique personality as reward is way more reasonable and realistic too, maybe a few as Legendary Personality, something what causes other's to envy you.

Yep that's me you just passed by there.

Tapio75 · January 2017

Litle off topic but same category though.. I would ALSO really like them to improve all existing emotes so that they also work while mounted, while moving and if you /laugh when weapon is unsheathed, you dont sheat it for the duration of /laugh.. /greet would be really nice with hrse, with walk and with run as wwell.. Also /followme and such.

I admire that you choose Charles as an example there, i love his movies and acting.

Travolta too, especially the dance

I didn't have time, but I was also going to jokingly suggest Legolas. Every movement overdone, ad constantly looking directly at the camera with a facial expression that steals all the focus.

Yeah, those are excellent as Legendary Personalities, especially that Smoking thing or Hawk. I personally think you could select normal idle animation and if you've Legendary Personality selected it sometimes uses that too, so normal idea animation --> random Legendary Idle Animation. So basically, players wants to collect as many Legendary Personality as possible and spending tons of time in the game, not just one. I think it'd be fun Vet Players had tons of different kind of Personalities. Why restrict us to only one Personality when one could choose many? And spend tons of time collecting them.

Idea Animations/Personalities is fun reward system, its kind of shame it took this long to figure it out.

id love to be able to "hold my wife in my arms" or "Embrace" her in my arms
click "E" to pick up your wife in your arms, and then she gets a message also,
click "E" to be held by "name"

and also hold her hands in a dance.

I hate to be that guy, but I hate misinformation even more. Two handed weapons, historically, are actually easier to handle than most other weapons. This is due to them weighing only slightly more than most one handed weapons, and the second hand more than compensates for the weight. It is a common misconception that these longswords (ESO's two-handers are, for the most part, closer to longswords than greatswords, although there is some overlap in the two terms) weighed a lot, when in reality they were quite light (and had to be).

I would love a swordsman personality that turns 2H sword animations into flashy The Witcher 3 - Geralt style animation.

If you can run and fight being drunk out of your mind and with a semi permanent tankard in your hand, I can have my high fantasy gaudy sword moves.

Good ideas, keep coming

It's not unrealistic for lady avatars to run just like the dude ones. [...]

This. That's why I like the assassin, drunk and other crown store posses, because they're neutral and the same for both sexes. Pretty much like irl, where there's no significant difference between how women and men walk normally.

I'm not saying that "ladylike" walk is wrong and shouldn't be added here, but I've seen people complaining specially in Skyrim forums about female characters "behaving like apes" and sharing "fixes" and "natural walks" that consist merely in cat-walk animations.

I would change the male idle, walking and running animations, though, they look like if they're holding a fart.

I said a weakling animation set. The 'trouble swinging a 2 handed weapon' thing is becoming a bit more common as a response to the giant weapon trend that has been around the last 2 decades. The actual weight of the sword is no different than many other things fantasy imagery doesn't depict accurately, such as sheathing swords on the back.

I think it would be funny too see a bone thin player really struggling to lift those 2 handers, collapsing behind the shield on blocks (cowering otherwise), stumbling, and etc...

I would like to see a 'shy' personality.

Fair enough, I just wish that games would try to make their more ridiculous weapons at least somewhat feasible.

The jester khajiit in the next festival on PTS has some remarkably fluid animations, sort of like the drunken personality when walking. Far superior to the thief personality which is utter shite.

LadyNalcarya · January 2017

As for crown store personalities, I want something ladylike for my elves. And a mage personality that replaces your walking and running animations with levitation - have you seen those floating mages in Eyevea?

Please and thank!

There was an addon for that, I dont know if ist still around.
Would be cool to have that as an "official" feature though.

I think that we should just ask for certain personalities and let them decide whether its a reward pr crown thing, i dont much care either way as my subscription crpowns will give me ability to purchase those i wish but still.. Anyways, the levitation has been a trademark of Telvanni mages so i think a Telvanni personality would suffice here but instead, i would like to have an real levitation spell and an own slot and key for it so that it wont take away from needed spell slots. This would be superb when crossing waters

The addon still exists, its called "Idle animations". It is outdated but works still like a dream. i have it installed and it works right now, making my mage jugle fire and write down the findings, then study the flame again.. There are many options there but it is not a personality as such, it does not change animations but just automatically plays emotions in wanted order and number.

Levitation would be a nice throwback to Morrowind. Perhaps when the Vvardenfell DLC launches, it could be unlocked through a Telvanni questline. A Telvanni title would be nice, too. And a Telvanni tower. Did I mention that I love House Telvanni? I probably should. They could also add slave assistants to act as pack mules, buyable from a Telvanni (or Dres) merchant.

runagate · January 2017

In Asheron's Call the afk emote let you levitate sitting crosslegged. Left no room for misinterpretation, even at a distance.

Left handed personality with every animation mirrored.

You know.. It would be great if you could at least choose which hand you are keeping the shield when using sword and shiel. Would also make it more clear to see which action bar is active at any time when the other could have items rewersed.

Evil. complete with evil laugh.

(It shames me to admit this, but my favorite thing to do in WoW was perform the laugh emote after duels with my blood elf death knight.)
