    The mount would have to be a god animal. How else will you justify the infinite Magicka pool needed to have Levitate up 24/7?

    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

    WTF are you talking about? IT WILL STILL ACT AS IF YOU ARE USING A MOUNT........All you can do on a mount is move and jump.....

    WTF does that have to do with quests or PVP? If you are in PVP then why not be surrounded in a BIG BRIGHT YELLOW orb so people can see you a mile away....

    chill its just a concept, no need to demoralize those that would like this feature.

    I think that several people are missing the point being made by the original poster. The OP is not suggesting that actual flying be introduced into the game. What they are suggesting is the addition of a mount that would function in *exactly* the same way as *every* mount in the game, the only difference being the animation which would make the rider appear to be levitating along in the same manner as an existing animation.

    I think this is a great idea. However, I'd prefer it if the use of the mount were gated in some way by a sufficiently esoteric achievement (preferably on the individual character rather than the whole account) that we won't start seeing half of Tamriel's population levitating everywhere they go. If too many people are doing it then it's no longer interesting... of course, that's always the problem with anything cool isn't it. Remember when the nightmare steeds were first introduced?...

    I imagine it would be too popular, and if lots of people are levitating it would damage the semi-realistic tone of the elder scrolls.

    I expect it will happen, but it will either be a ridiculously expensive direct purchase (to deter sensible people) or an apex reward in a particularly underwhelming season of crown crates (to boost sales from people who will spend any amount for this item). I would love to have it, so I expect zos to make it dissapointingly expensive.

    Will there be a pallet swap plus an Atornach, Spriggan, Bone, and Dwemmer themed flying mount skin in the future also? If so then SIGN ME UP!

    Depends..........
    Not body levitation because it has emotional pull for those who did the original elder scrolls games. Morrowind the original player clientele will want levitation exactly as they once had it. Which I think was a spell?

    A flying mount is fine. My friend and I used to ride around on her flying carpet in Mabinogi. That is a two seater mount. I had a video but got the youtube copyright infringement because I put Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride on my vid. Had to take it down.

    A pegasus would be cute.

    The carpet could hover. A flying horse could do long air leaps and wing flaps. No actual skyborn stuff as that takes some real work on the entire zone and camera angle from up high complications.

    Levitating or hop-gliding mounts could have a take no fall damage bonus.

    That's what I would like to see.
    "mounts" like flying... well, floating, actually... floating carpets, floating broomsticks, floating ayleid thrones, floating meditation mats, floating stone driftdisks, floating mini-cloud to ride on, whatever.

    But no "levitation" as mount...

    ...might be good for a "archmage" style personality instead though!

    Plus the riding broom and gliding skills with HOT.

    I am neutral on this. On the positive side, no more coming to a complete standstill on a small pebble on a road somewhere or sprint being interrupted going over a bridge.

    So, to all people saying levitation is not lore friendly, or it breaks immersion, you should really do some research before talking

    From the Art of War Magic II:

    "4. Knowledge is vital. Know your enemy and your battlefield. The greatest Battlemages also know themselves. They know their strengths and their weaknesses, and this allows them to properly adapt to their opponent. A Battlemage that does not know their own capabilities is no more dangerous than a thorn bush; they can cause pain but will not cause any significant damage.

    Audeiu Quaspus: During the invasion of Akavir, Cocius Roscius, one of Uriel V’s generals exemplified knowing his enemies. He had his primary Battlemage, Raxleon Facici created telepathic links in between several of his minor Battlemages, and the ground commanders near the front lines. These minor mages were then cloaked in invisibility and levitated well above the battle, allowing them to provide constant information to those on the ground. Cocius Roscius won a major victory that day.
    "

    That said, I'd rather not have a fake levitation just for the sake of prettiness.

    If you want to fly, just use critcharge, works wonders.

    Somewhat off topic, but I've always wanted to be able to leap off ledges in PVE zones and have spectral angelic wings appear, allowing me a gentle landing.
