They said the new expac will be "darker" in a sense regarding the story and such. With that said, can we please have some blood finally? Like basic attacks spewing blood from enemy npc's….

✭Yep, trash mobs should randomly blow up or be dismembered with blood splatter and gore.
Also since we have mudballs that stick to armor, blood splatter could work the same.
Oh the joys running around in your shiny and meticulously painted armor all covered in blood of your enemies. That would be so awesome AAA feature for eso
Also, game has M rating anyway.
I endorse this.6 -

✭✭✭✭✭I still want some sort of "Brutality Pack" - so those who want extra blood and gore pay extra for it, and those who don't... just don't buy it.
It is an old idea of course: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/222351/brutality-pack-concept/p1

✭✭✭✭✭If they make is client side, so it does not lag out my game, it could be OK.
Personally, gore in a game is like sex in a game, overdone and gratuitous. It gets old after a while. I remember the Bloody Mess perk in Fallout. It was neat the first few times, but then it just got annoying as it slowed down combat.
So, that is a real consideration, would additional animations slow down combat, and are they worth it?Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

LoneStar2911✭✭✭✭✭I love gore.
I love blood and guts flying everywhere.
Adding this in (client side, as someone mentioned) would be SPECTACULAR!!!!

RazielSR✭✭✭✭✭Blade of woe is awesome and I don't understand why they don't add the same behaviour in normal combat. Maybe performance?0 -

We can loot guts from corpses, but why we dont see blood! We need a blood1

Vamps already drain blood, so the gore is there already in the game, I see no reason to not expand on it and add much more blood when in combat

✭✭✭As long as it can be switched off, I have no qualms with having it there for the people who are into that sort of thing. It's a matter of preference. I'd rather it didn't look like the blade of woe animations. I disliked the dark brotherhood skill line not for the blood, but because it lacked any kind of elegance. The brutality of it just looks incredibly silly for certain characters and didn't leave any options open to personalize an assassins style. I'd rather not have that kind of thing applied universally to characters when you would rather have them fight with a bit more grace. Certainly, you're going to get blood in a battle. But great globbing spurts and stabbing things like a maniac isn't how every warrior fights.Edited by ArchangelIsraphel on January 21, 2020 6:22PMLegends never die

Erickson9610✭✭✭✭✭Personally, I do wish the werewolf's bloodstained fur and the corpses getting all bloodied from feeding would return. I'm unsure why these features were removed, but I do remember reading about how praised the features were. I'd like to see it return in a more polished form, like the blood from vampire feeding or the Blade of Woe kills.
It would be great to see these blood graphics expanded to other parts of the game as well.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I don't mind blood, but I found it really annoying in Skyrim when it would suddenly take away control of your character and the camera in a fight to show you a random cut scene of someone dying, then dump you back into combat. It always took me a second to reorientate myself after that, which could be fatal in some situations.
So if it was just blood added to existing attacks that's fine, but I don't want whole Blade of Woe style animations interrupting normal combat.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

You can turn off the kill cam in ESO.1
