Yes, there was a unicorn in Oblivion.
One unicorn.
Created by Hircine in his plane of Oblivion, the Hunting Grounds, for one purpose; to be the main attraction for a hunt to honor him. He brought one to Tamriel. You were supposed to kill it, take the horn, and give it to Hircine. Iirc, once you did that, it didn't respawn.
So I guess if a single unicorn showed up as the sacrificial offering to Hircine it would be lore-friendly. It would function as a quest, just like the original did in Oblivion. [instanced to the player who had the quest]
Dozens of unicorns running around waiting to be slaughtered, or being used as mounts, *no*.

✭✭Want? No. Would I mind? Depends. If it's a disneyfied one then hell no. If it's true to stories in which it is a ferocious monster then sure, if that also falls within ESO lore and provides an engaging narrative.0 -

✭✭✭This is a pretty good troll.
I would 100x support a DLC where unicorns attack anyone who slow walks and where unicorns shoot rainbows at those who siege AD-owned Keeps and lift them gently onto the roof so they can siege the dirty bananas from safety.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, especially a hornless gay unicorn named Gary!
EDIT: For those who don't get my reference, read the four-book series, "Tales from Verania" by TJ Klune.

✭✭✭✭✭A DLC centers on unicorns would e weak. ESO have never had unicorns in a prominent role. While it’s not going to happen I’d expect a DLC with a dragon focus before a unicorn one.0 -
Armatesz✭✭✭✭✭I go to sleep and wake up to see some of the odd things people post in here >.>
1. This was a serious posting out of the curious nature I had
2. No this has nothing to do with bronies or my little pony (I'm neutral on those topics but not into it)
3. It doesn't have to be an entire dlc surrounded by unicorn or unicorns
This was more aimed at being a bit light hearted of sorts.Ärmätèsz

As the title says. Curious on what others thoughts if we got one.
Yes, but only if this music plays during boss fights

I'd love a DLC on the dwemer, one that explains what happened to them.
Unicorns? No. They dont fit. Period.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭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.

You're never going to get a dwemer DLC that explains what happened to them. That would take away the mystery and take away the fun of talking about it. And if there was knowledge about what happened to the dwemer, its either going to known by everyone in tamriel, or whoever found it would keep it to themselves. (Anyhow, if you go to the teslore reddit, I've heard that they've got a few accepted theories on the subject.)PC - NACP 1125

✭✭✭✭✭That Unicorn in Oblivion was far from Lore Friendly. It was put in the game for the same reasons Dire Wolves were in this one, a nod to pop culture. Both were a mistake in my opinion as neither animal type had any existence in the Lore of TES prior to that.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭✭✭NoTenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0 -
stitchesofdooom✭✭✭✭The word "ridiculous" springs to mind.Say NO to Crown Crates. Crown Crates are Loot Boxes. Loot Boxes are gambling. Zenimax makes enough money off us.
ESO+ is part of the "Games as a service" trend. A trend that needs to die. Subscribe only when you need Crowns for DLC.
Say no to "radiant" junk quests replacing proper side content and the dumbing down of our favorite franchises.

As I recall you could ride the unicorn in Oblivion, unless it saw you attack an enemy. As soon as you'd dismount, it would then walk back to the glade where you found it.

There's at least one book in Daggerfall which mentions a unicorn: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:King_Edward
Apparently it is very unusual, even in what appears to be the early First Age. The kid who sees it is more surprised about that than a dragon which is later revealed to be Akatosh.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Snowfaerie✭✭✭Oh, I'd love to have an unicorn as a randomly spawning world boss on ESO. It could appear almost anywhere, there'd be only one at a time, it'd be impossible to solo and would attack anyone who draws a weapon in it's vicinity. If you managed to kill it, you would get a quest item that you could take to a shrine of Hircine and get some cool loot for it. xD1 -

Yea, but that is all part of a vision. No real mention of a unicorn being part of the world. Man the books in Daggerfall were longer than more recent ones....Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
