What is something in ESO you don't quite get?

✭I don't quite get how when you are in combat you can't mount or pick or interact with anything. I mean an npc chases you for a mile and in that time you can't mount then if you let it catch up to you it runs away unaffected by any damage you inflict on it. The whole thing is incredibly stupid. Like if I am running away and I make it to a door it makes no sense that you can't open it and that you have to wait to be attacked first. This game has an unhealthy obsession with combat. Forcing you to spend 90% of you time killing npc's when fleeing is a perfectly valid option.18 -

I agree! There have been times I've been so p'd off I've chased it back to its spot and killed it.9 -

✭✭✭✭✭What bugs me is why Bosmers are not stealthy.
Or rather they were stealthy, become un-stealthy, and then later on they somehow become stealthy again.
Ah yes, an optimistic meme from the early days of the protest. I think at this point Bosmer won't get their stealth back before we have a new combat team. The sad reality of it and the worst part is that we still don't know the why, making it truly "something in ESO I don't quite get".This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.4 -

Outfit station and dyes is just another way of doing costumes.2 -

To be honest, when I made that I was referring to the stand alone games for “when they get their stealth back”. So technically the Elder Scroll i “transcribed” is correct.1 -

✭Why have so much limitations on hair color depending on race? Lore? Immersion?
I mean look at all the crazy flashy mounts and skins people are using. Yet I can't make an Altmer with golden or black hair.---No longer active in ESO---

✭✭✭✭✭Why the loremasters decided not to have Lamae be a Vampire Lord. I mean like.... she's the first so she should have it, right? Why doesn't she have it? And if she has something else why did she create a Vampire Lord mimic for her children to use instead? Couldn't she have at least added wings to the form so her children could take to the skies as well and destroy Molag Bal's evil spawn?Edited by Vevvev on February 26, 2021 6:12AMPC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK3 -

Who am i paying when i dye my own gear with a dye station i own?
Why don't any boots have heels in eso.
Why do we have style mats anymore they should scrap them for less item clutter to game. Just allow styles to be crafted if style is known.
Why don't we have a dual stat glyph like stam/health, stam/mag, mag/health.
Why do guars have so man effing skins.
Why don't we have naga and pumar raht and ohmes as a playable sub breed qith no stat difference from.their base race counterpart just a visual flavor.

✭✭✭✭Why main story bosses are not part of endgame content?
It is a glaring flaw and makes the story anticlimactic & disappointing
Actually I find that refreshing.
Locking story moments in endgame content is one of WoWs biggest flaws. It’s why they made raid finder (that the WoW community complains about constantly) and why they don’t need that here.
Trials have their own story they don’t need to leave the lore community (which tend to not be endgame players) in the cold.
Problem is that the main story bosses are so anticlimactic that it takes the wind of the sails. It just undermines everything and leaves you feeling “That’s it?”5 -

Oh yes, even if your normal easy main story would still exist. And it just had a added optional hard mode that was actually a challenge and engaging for a different portion of the player base.

Because if a game is going to make its main story a major selling point maybe should make it a major selling point for more than just one type of player.

Scardan✭✭✭✭✭Why does mage guild not have a spamable, despite the fact that there is a passive that buffs la and ha every time you use a mage guild skill?
Why is there so much horizontal progression? Not a bad thing, but still. All npc guilds are optional. Vampire and werewolf are optional.Let's be extremely precise in our use of terms.2 -

✭✭✭✭I don't get why guards, in general, are so rude. Doesn't matter what alliance you're in, doesn't matter what level you are or whether you've saved a town's bacon, the average guard is still going to be snippy at you as you go by. "What do you want?" "I'm BUSY." "WHAT!!" Jeez. If they'll treat a hero like that how are they treating the townsfolks and why would people tolerate that? Why am I expected to put up with a constant daily barrage of that attitude while I'm working for their *boss*? And why be nasty to someone who is saving your town, anyway? Tiresome and baffling.6 -

I collect the recipes in game, and then use interesting ones to make real recipes. My daughter is a particular fan of garlic cod with potato crust and kwama scrib risotto (garlic panko crumb on cod loin with straw potatoes on top, and chicken biryani when translated to earth food )
I don't get where creatures like sea vipers have pockets to hide that resto staff I pick up, or where their feet are when I collect a pair of rubedo leather boots.Soupy twist7 -

✭I was waiting on my daily dolmen, and it hit me in the face; If Molag Bal really is as evil as people claim, then how come he hasn't broken the "Daedric Princes cannot enter Nirn or something" law and just waltzed into Nirn and started killing people, instead of trying to bring Nirn to himself? I mean he's evil right, so he should be above the law.
What thing don't you quite get?
The nerfing, by the divines, the nerfing.
They keep on nerfing damage dealer but we already have unkillable class like warden and necro, also add the werewolf skill line in those unkillable.

Why are we literally the only vampire in all of elder scrolls lore that has abilities that encourage us to die?
When vampires in ES are known for hoarding their HP and vitality and often stealing it from others.3 -

There are a million players of that class/level, and quite honestly that means nothing to us, we accept player of any skill/level. We turn down 10 times more apps than we accept and are constantly near capacity so no, your name and level isn't good enough. We have built an awesome community and prefer to keep it that way, so we don't take chances joining rando's who couldn't bother to put more than a pre-filled in name & level on their application. It is an application after all, if someone can't bother to fill it out, we can't bother to think twice about it.2 -
