    Not a lot of unicorns in Elder Scrolls lore. This is a definite no.

    Sure. Unicorns have not made their way into the game yet and I think that would be nice.

    I mean, it would really depend. Just going off of what we know from Oblivion they're interesting and rare creatures. If the DLC revolved around one or two and spun Hircine into it a great deal, sure. I feel like they'd be better for a short story or even just a side thing, I can't really think of a story that doesn't sound like it came from a Disney film involving Unicorns.

    It would need to be far in the future though, seeing as we just got a very heavy Hircine-related DLC.

    A unicorn made an appearance in ES IV: Oblivion. It's lore-friendly.

    Obtaining it was one of the high points of the game, actually.

    I would be all for it if there was an option to rip out its horn and use it to forge a weapon of our choosing.

    I'd rather have a quest or DLC based around the Centaurs of High Rock and Valenwood.

    Source: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Bestiary_C
    Scroll down a bit to Centaurs. The Psijic Order knows about them, people can speak their language, and even tho they've been in Daggerfall (which, most things in that game have been retconned), theyve also been in ES: Legends. It'd be interesting to see such a race and their culture.


    (And even more interesting when people start lobbying for them to be playable bc centaurs were playable in some stupid game theyve played)

    I mean adding in a unicorn for a quest, sure. An entire DLC based on one? Maybe not.

    If the dlc zone was full of rainbows and if the unicorn could shoot lazers from its horn while you're riding it as heavy metal music plays in the background. Then yes. So much yes.

    So long as the unicorn quest was accompanied by Tim Curry playing the devil I'd be all for it.

    Yup, unicorns is one of the better mythical creatures that have been created.

    The better question is, why wouldn't someone want the addition of unicorn(s)?

    I'd always be up for more Hircine related content. I'm not sure an entire DLC about unicorns would work, and as someone else said we've just had a Hircine themed DLC, but maybe it could be a side quest in another DLC?

    For some reason I thought it was possible to find one in ESO if you go to the Hunting Grounds, but apparently not.

    Edit: Thought it might be worth clarifying for those apparently unfamiliar with TES lore. Unicorns do exist in lore and have done since at least Daggerfall. They are magical but they're not the cute, friendly creatures you see in pop culture. They're more like the original mythological unicorns - extremely rare and hard to find (in this case because they're native to the Hunting Grounds, Hircine's plane of Oblivion and he only occasionally brings them to Nirn), extremely powerful and if you upset them in any way (which is easy to do) extremely deadly.

    The one in Oblivion would attack anyone who showed any violent tendencies - even something as simple as drawing a weapon - and wouldn't stop until the target was dead. You could ride it but between that and the fact that it would head back where it came from every time you dismounted it really wasn't a practical choice. Oh, and it was in the game because it was the focus of a quest chain where you had to kill it. I assume any added to ESO would be similar.

    Funny how folks can't handle a horse with a horn. Yet mounts exist that have nothing to do with lore and second look way more redicilous.

    I mean come to think of it why ARE unicorns even mythical? It's just a skinny Rhino / horse with a horn right. Yep giraffes exist and they a giant moose leopard with a 40foot neck. Way less realistic.

    Because there is no narrativium in our reality. It doesn't have to make sense the way fictional worlds do, and frequently doesn't.

    I remember finding a unicorn back in oblivion. It was so brutal I had to run away from it. Actually one of the few memories I have from the game.
