Why isn't there a photo mode or emote wheel like in Fallout 76?

✭✭✭✭✭They are fixing the bug on the PTS where if you change the camera setting your character gets locked into a single direction. That'll help me greatly with setting up my pictures and not having to reset the UI over and over.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

✭Can I add to this - move Mementos from the quickslot wheel to the Emote wheel.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The most likely reason is that this game was developed like 10 years ago;
Has it really been that long already?
It's so odd to me since the game feels so alive and the graphics don't feel all that aged to me compared to other games that came out that long ago.
Getting old is a strange sensation.
ESO came out before Fallout 4, never mind Fallout 76.
But I'm all for more photo/screenshot options.The Moot Councillor1 -

✭✭The marketing team keeps trying to push social media for ESO. A photo mode (and maybe an emote wheel) would go a long way for their marketing. It would make people more excited to take photos of their characters for lots of reasons.PC-NA

You couldn't really control which direction you got locked to, and it made directional based abilities a nightmare to cast as well as horseback riding since it inherited the momentum and snapped it to that uncontrollable direction. Also ruined taking pictures because what if you got locked facing backwards in a group photo?Edited by Vevvev on August 4, 2021 8:46PMPC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

✭✭✭✭I know, right?!
The game only came out 6-7 years ago, but that means that the groundwork was being laid at least a couple years before that. Sometimes I'm pretty down on ZOS for shortcomings and shortsightedness and whatnot, but I think this is one of those times where they kind of get a pass. It wasn't an unheard-of feature back in the day, but ESO was a monumental project no doubt, and they likely just had bigger fish to fry. And often, things that aren't baked into the bones of a game can be harder to implement later on.
I'd like improved screenshot features & such too, especially for console where the gap can't be bridged by addons. But even now, ZOS has larger issues with the game that need addressing first. Not sure how big their team is, but it seems they can't really juggle too many issues at once. I'm afraid this one will remain low-priority for some time yet.
ESO had been in development for like 7 years prior - primarily due to the success of Skyrim.
If they could go back in time and do it differently I'm sure we'd basically get Skyrim 2.0 with Friends (which is basically what Fallout 76 is in the franchise) instead of an MMO in TES0 -

This would be a huge boon for publicity for ESO. I know I would be posting more screenshots on my social media if I had a basic photo mode to utilize.0 -

I couldn't agree more. We already have Camera add-ons, a photo mode would be EXACTLY what this game needs for all those pretty screenshot people (me) who take HOURS and HOURS of just photos.
Hell, I do that now, but I'd spend significantly longer if I could position and move my character and camera about for it.
The frozen Emote thing would be neat as hell too, being able to fine tune where in the emote you are and pausing, sort of like XIV does. Rotate, and turn your character to properly face the thing you want to face, etc etc."You thought you could escape Lord Sheogorath's justice? Your stolen goods are now forfeit, and you can either pay reparations or face the dungeons."0 -

For rotating your character hold block, bash in the direction you want to face, and then you're done. @Vzella
If bashing would hit an NPC you can turn off attacking innocents in options or toggle walking and get the more fine tune movements out of it.Edited by Vevvev on March 5, 2023 4:55AMPC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK1 -
ZOS_IcymodGreetings,
We have closed this topic as it was originally created in March 2021. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.
Thank you for your understanding.0
