I've been a great fan of the decorations you guys have put down during the witches festivel (And which some black feathered foes kept on stealing back) and I'm really glad, that it seems to have become the new norm. The decorations placed across Tamriel for Zenithars event are more subtle than wickermen, stacked pumpkins, spooky amounts of fog and murders of crows, but they feel very fitting and in match with the festival itself. The coin garlands and piles of cut wheat invoke the idea of trade and harvest.

I think it's great that Zenithars event started to spread it's visuals across the borders of Belkarth and made it's way into other regions.
With all the different holidays the franchise offers, it's certainly not easy to pick which ones are worth to be actually yearly portrayed and given a pupose in terms of gameplay.
Or to decide, wether or not such holidays should be kept inside their region for lore reasons or showcased all across tamriel and it's DLCs to introduce the festivities even to the utmost lost new players somewhere in the depths of blackmarsh or even another realm.

It gives these holidays more of an identity. What was once merely a tent and a merchants changing inventory has now become something that can be easily recognized and assist in "getting into the spirit". And yes, I did not forget that you folks implemented a dozen new random encounters last year (or 2022 even?) for us to stumble upon as we drag hard earned gold across the entire continent shamelessly exploiting the 10% discount on everything, everyone and their pet bantamguar.

So, to keep it short: I'm excited to see what the game will look like for upcoming festivities and how much it will develop in the future.
Cheers.

    I'm especially enjoying the visuals of the Zeal decorations. Love the pennants and the stringed coins!

    I, too, greatly enjoy the decorations! <3

    But here's the most important question: Can one actually obtain the coin strings and those star thingies as housing items? :open_mouth:

    Not as far as I know - but we can hope for the future?

    I'd rather that the effort be spent on something practical.

    Yes, I thought the star lanterns would be a fantastic addition to my homes.

    I'd love it if we could- I really adored the lanterns and coin strings!

    I'd really like them to be a crafting pattern!
    Legends never die
    They're written down in eternity
    But you'll never see the price it costs
    The scars collected all their lives
    When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
    Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
    Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
    Legends never die

    The art team does art things. It's not like the coders or QA are making garlands in their spare time.

    I'm concerned that the hay bales stacked around the fiery wayshrine in Skingrad are going to burst into flame.

    Well, it occurred to me when I saw the 'floral rugs' a few months back, that these deco objects were stock items bought 'off the shelf' from somewhere else. The reason I thought this was that the 'flowery' theme was totally lacking in any lore and look more like deco from that life simulator game.

    I wasn't suggesting that 'coders' were doing this. But effort is being expended on stuff, that I at least, don't appreciate. A budget was approved for this work which I don't see as adding much value. the 'art team' could be working on the next release stuff. Whatever the cost, that funding could have been redirected at bugfixes. All funding is approved before work commences.

    Anyway, my 2-bob's worth.
