I always get really anxious when I can't jump over the little wall next to the wayshrine in Davon's Watch because I think everyone is looking at me and laughing.

I often run around it for the same reason.

LOL seriously though. Its like 2 meters to short. Super GRR

Well it's kind of a realistic jump, it's just we're super used to heroic super jumping in games.

Thats called anxiety and there's a bunch of medication for it, trust me. Reallllllly good medication.

Your character is powerful. You can summon demons, throw bolts of energy, leap across vast distance to attack an enemy even cause the ground itself to do your biding. Yet somehow, you are brought to a complete stop, even bent to your knees by a pebble on the road.

Now we know why they invented Levitation by TES III Morrowind.

We could FLY in TES II Daggerfall!

Lol that's because the ground was dangerous and you'd fall into the void at a moment's notice... Fun times. And people think THIS game has bugs. xD

Still, yeah, the jumps are slightly short. Kinda wish it worked like in GTA V, where if you snag your foot or misjudge distance you straight up faceplant. Outside of combat, of course. Eating dirt in the middle of a battle would suck.

It's also a directional thing. It really irks me when my character is looking straight ahead and the cursor is pointing straight ahead but the jump goes sideways! What's up with that?

I am really bad at jumping. But I did find that if I aim the camera up, in first person, I am more likely to nail it.

Or the devs could just increase the float/int by about 15-20% of what it is and the problem would go away out right. [snip]

Animation has to happen as we go over things, and as things get higher, I am guessing that the animation has to change or the character's motions become odd looking. It is not just about adding to some value.

Sadly, I wager this isn't possible with the current engine, which is why we got the goofy grappling hooks. Don't get me wrong, the grapple hook thing is fun, but... it's no substitute for our characters being able to actually climb things. This, among other things, is why I'd like to see an ESO2. For a world as large and as interesting as the one we have, revamping it into a new engine that actually allows things like climbing - and underwater exploration while we're at it - would seriously kick it up a notch.

Like anything else the game does, it would have to be added, and to be added, it would need a reason to be added. We do not know what the "game engine" is capable of doing. Maybe they did add it, but decided not to use it, or not use it for characters. NPCs can certainly climb, as we learned a while back.

However, like flying and underwater, character climbing introduces problems that were never solved in other parts of the game. By not solving those problems, they were free to go off and solve other problems. ESO today is the culmination of hundreds of these sorts of decisions. Adding climbing would force them to go back and change many parts of the game, from models and textures, to quests, to animation. It might require new skills in order to limit, or expand, how climbing is done. There would certainly be "no climbing zones" all over the place, and possibly new transparent walls blocking progress, but not aesthetics.

And then of course we have those fools who are incapable of walking and have their character jump, everywhere! Jump, jump, jump, effing jump! That is guaranteed to get you a mud ball in the face if I run into you doing that. It's so annoying!

I know. Sigh. Sometimes I feel like I am trapped in a game with people who's ADHD medication ran out.
