✭✭✭✭✭I like it, because...I personally like it, because it would give players more of an initiative to complete quests and other forms of content at hand. Rather than skip and skim through the quests. It would give players something to look forward to, besides maybe housing items from an achievement vendors.Edited by Ch4mpTW on June 15, 2017 2:19PM8 -

✭✭I like it, because...Sure. Mounts, titles all add incentive to do the content. Usually high end content will have a rare mount as a reward, but here not so much.5 -

@Kodrac I agree. Like the Dromathra Senche mount could've been awarded for completing VMoL. While the skin could've been awarded for completing the HM version of it. Or vice-versa. Or maybe for completing it on normal. While say the Snow Bear (polar bear) mount could've been awarded for completing the Wrothgar main quest line.0 -

✭Other. (Please explain why.)Depends on the content.
It should be rare, like it currently is with costumes. Not, "Oh, thank you for saving my spouse from bandits. Here, have a horse!"... but I can see completing your alliance questline awarding you with an alliance mount.
I was honestly a bit surprised the Dark Brotherhood questline never gave you Shadowmere. I guess she's not around yet.Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

✭✭✭✭✭It doesn't matter, because...We have skins for vMoL and vHoF. Titles for other trials. SotH dungeons also have a skin tied to them. With Morrowind you can get a personality, a costume and two sets of tattoos from quests + a pet and a costume from public dungeons.
Just because WoW gives you mounts doesn't mean ESO has to do the same. There is a lot of cool rewards for completing content. And the way Morrowind was done proves the devs are going in the right direction.

✭Other. (Please explain why.)Me personally, I would prefer to see more mounts in the Stable masters store.3 -
Reivax✭✭✭✭I like it, because...Make a treadmill mount. That way when your running animation gets stuck and you look like you're running on your mount's back, you'd be running on a moving treadmill instead.0 -

Agreed, although I have to admit that I find it odd that they find the question as "cheesy".0 -
idk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Other. (Please explain why.)It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a rare drop in the more challenging content like vet trials, vMA/DSA. One for each instance.
As for normal every day content or 4 man dungeons, no way. Certainly not for merely completing a quest and that would do nothing more that get players to focus on that one quest.Edited by idk on June 15, 2017 2:20PM0 -
Arkvoril✭✭✭I like it, because...Because Stable Merchants only sell horses in all of Tamriel? Thats just silly. I should be able to buy the correct mount depending on what area I am in. We should have access to the normal(ex. Animals) mounts in the game. Keep the flashy ones with awesome skins for the Crown Store so ZOS still make that money.NA/PC

VDoom1✭✭✭✭✭I like it, because...Heck yes! For one as others have said it would give initiative, and also a chance to bring back mounts that have been in crown store. Put up a mount as some final quest reward and many will probably go for that quest, I would.
I also wouldn't mind if the mounts are zone specific. Like say you are in the Rift or Eastmarch, well lets get a bear mount as reward for something there. If your in Stone Falls lets go for a Guar mount there and so on. But the more epic looking mounts with fire or electricity or an undead horse or whatever, they stay in the crown store.We Fight For Cyrodiil.
We fight for The Daggerfall Covenant.
We fight for The Aldmeri Dominion.
We fight for The Ebonheart Pact.
We fight for Tamriel!CP 1200+

alsuran✭✭✭I like it, because...I would like that. It shouldn't be offered as a reward for something easy, but a title like Master Angler, Tamriel Hero, Monster Hunter, etc, should come with a cool mount, at least some of them (or a single mount when you get three major achievements out of a list of 5-10). If it requires a lot of time, or high skill (the major veteran dungeon/raid achievements), there should be a way for the player to brag about it.2 -
RoyalPink06✭✭✭✭✭I like it, because...Yes, however, if its locked behind content that I'm not yet good enough to complete (lookin' at you, VMA), i'll be a salty QQ sore loser
I still like the idea, just I don't think it'll ever happen though because crown store/crown crates.NA PS40 -
Eddyble✭✭✭✭Other. (Please explain why.)At this point, for myself, a mount as a reward is not fulfilling. A mount is a mount is a mount. Some of them are neat looking but I prefer function. Maybe if it did something beneficial. I'd rather not have mounts at all and would be happy just getting my max running speed back. Didn't even actually need one until the recent change.Eddyb1e - Xbox One - NA

Rouven✭✭✭✭✭
✭I like it, because...The drive is to have different mounts. I imagine a variety - from the more elaborate mount with some flavour for harder content to a basic mount for a normal quest.
Consider you rescued guar at one point. A week later, 2 levels later, 3 days later - whatever works - you get mail from the guar owner, saying the guars are grown up now and it would be an honour for him to give you one of them ...
In terms of world building and story telling I'd say this is a good idea and goes nicely along with ZOS vision:

SanTii.92✭✭✭✭✭
✭I like it, because...Sure, we are reaching a point where Zos has developed plenty of mounts, and many of those aren't really being use cause they get recycled by new ones.
Think really hard achievements should reward those mounts that aren't profitable anymore.When the snows fall and the white winds blow,

MadLarkin✭✭✭✭I like it, because...In game rewards always feel more satisfying than buying something out of a cash shop. Games operate under an investment (whether its time played, content completed, etc.) to reward ratio and I feel ESO's is pretty skewed these days.2

✭✭✭✭✭It doesn't matter, because...I doesn't matter to me since I spend most my time on my feet. And when I do use my mount usually no one is around to see it.
