In my two years of playing Elder Scrolls Online, I killed my first innocent. It actually bothered me for a while, since I tend to avoid killing innocents. I know this is a thread for skills discussion, but I will get to that, I promise. I hope you will allow me to share my story.
I was doing the Veya Releth quest in Balmora. I was in some house, I forget which, but I was being sneaky with Naryu Virian. One of the Wardens triggered the guards, so he left his Bear with the guard. I was dreadly afraid of getting caught, so I hid in the corner hoping the Bear would despawn. I, then, realized I had my bear out, so I quickly tried to desummon my Bear. I went into characters and attempted to desummon my Bear, but since I had Eternal Guardian, the bear kept spawning back. I thought, "Oh, when they said Eternal, they literally meant it!" So, at the time, I thought there was no way for me to desummon my Bear. So I left him out. Meanwhile, the other Warden's Bear brought the guard to about a sliver of health points left. For some reason, the guard decided to cast his "Dragonknight Claw Hold-You-In-Place Thing." It hit my bear, and instinctively, he charged at the guard and killed him. I was in shock. And to rub the salt into my wound, I got a achievement called MURDERER.
I felt horrible for a few hours. It bothered me to a point where I wanted to lash out at that Warden! I didn't, though. It would have been silly, if I did. Though, I do still feel bad for that guard still. That guard could have had a family!
Anyway, I promised you that this post would be related to Skills. And it will! I just wanted to leave a suggestion. For the Eternal Guardian skill, would it be possible to make it so that when you desummon your Bear in the Characters menu, that the bear will actually desummon? If this is possible, I humbly suggest that this be implemented. Right now, it's set up where you actually have to desummon your Bear twice to make him/her go away.
Thank you for listening.
