If so, show me what you’ve got! I have wasted literal hours and thousands upon thousands of gold ensuring that my characters complement their mounts as much as possible.

It’s so bad, I’m actually bothered by the fact that you can’t see my Ebon orbs on my tank, or my active Ilambris weapon effects on my Khajiit...

    Yes, also some mounts are character specific and no-one else is allowed to ride them, some of my characters have to earn the right to ride a mount for example if they can't fight they won't be riding any kind of war/Cyrodiil mount..

    Some mounts are both character and outfit/costume or even hairstyle specific

    Also they have Cyrodiil and PVE mounts

    lol

    I spend a lot of money on mounts so like to see that they are used properly..

    I actually spent HOURS trying out different shades for "Hearth Husband" and am still upset that I don't have a beige/light brown that fits the horse. It's either too yellowish, reddish, dark or light TnT

    Hahaha, glad I’m not the only one. Even your pets match! :D My characters used to have pets too, but the stress of making sure that they matched (which is not always easy, as I’m sure you know) got too much for me. Now they have NO pets.

    I love the grey theme you have for your sorc with the Yokudan charger.

    @Aurielle Ahah, thanks :blush: Moneiba used to have another color scheme, she got her make over a couple weeks ago when I realized I had unlocked quite a few new colors !

    About the pets : if you have the clockwork city, maybe the dovah fly pet that comes with it could fir Khutala. I particulaly like both your argonians btw. The names are great too ! I feel very judged.

    Depends. For example I stopped riding the dro-M'Athra on my main because the only colors I could bear to wear with it were black and blue and that got boring, but the ordinary horse I'll let her wear whatever on.

    I haven't been playing for very long yet, so I haven't had as much opportunity to scratch that particular itch as I would like (or to refine them to perfect matches), but yes, I feel the need.

    Oh my goodness yes!

    I get so caught up in trying to find both a mount and a pet that match my characters.

    I'm at work right now so I cannot post my images just yet but I will aim to do so when I get home later today.

    I forgot to add this shot of my main

    Finally found a use for that tattoo, and the Pyandorean legs look so great against the horse when she’s mounted up.

    Sweet! That's a sharp look.

    Question: How do you get your UI elements to look like that of ES: Skyrim? Is that via an add-on?

    Nah, not an add on — it’s the console UI. Though I believe you can get the same look on PC if you use a controller.

    I love all the matches shown here :)

    As for my own characters, I don't have some strong wish to match character + mount + pet in colors and style. But I do like it when it happens. I don't try to do it perfectly though :/

    I have one character who was born only thanks to Nightmare Senche mount - I was inspired by it's colors and style, and created another dragonknight just to match it :smiley:

    BduV5Ro.jpg

    My main character almost always uses black color, and their match with one of my favourite mounts was only natural <3

    P34xkYh.jpg

    This is simply natural Dark Brotherhood match (and the spider just has nice matching colors):

    Av7QguE.jpg

    This character didn't give me any special idea for colors when I created him. He was wearing nice purple robe with gold and black parts while leveling. Then I was experimenting... And when I applied Buoyant Armiger body markings to him, I suddenly decided his permanent image :smiley: I bought the blue little snake specially for him - all my other characters use ordinary brown snake:

    0rlvK4O.jpg

    This character has few costumes which I equally like on her. And the fact that I can match them with few mounts and pets is luck. Well, originally, when I bought the first mount from store (Pride-King lion), I loved his armor and named him Golden - and it inspired me for some golden knight theme:

    hR9BZSQ.jpg

    Then we got first New Life festival, cozy warm hat (which dyes horribly in white colors), and she got another image of wise northern healer:

    lPJPJk1.jpg

    Her most recent image of warm sunlight:

    Yes and no. There is an overall theme for each character that must be met. Once I get a character to that magical point, they will not be changed. And no two characters can be the same, have the same look, mount or pet. I'm at work so I can't get pictures right now, but I think I have some up on my Twitter somewhere...

    @LordLomax wow, that's some shine there ! nice elemental themes. Love the fire !

    @Fischblut Lovely screencaps ! The dark brotherhood skeleton one is especially awesome

    @Aurielle But it's such a good-looking problem. Judges-You-Silently looks as fantastic as ever. Also, the tattoo on Sarethia looks awesome !
