Polymorph molag bal needs to be fixed

TDVM · June 24

It's the legs that are the issue, they spoil the polymorph itself. I realize that this is most likely a matter of the character's skeleton, but the developers have a pet molag bal, and there is his skeleton. Why doesn't this just let you use a skeleton molag bala on your character when the player puts on a polymorph (Growth will be slightly higher than a normal polymorph)., and make it have nice legs like in the original?
It's the molag ball prince of daedra himself. For the sake of polymorph of such a popular personality that is associated with teso could have made him an "exclusive" skeleton.
It's just disappointing

And two the problem this polymorph has is the mouth animation, it's just like a lump of clay that needs to be changed too. But the foot problem is the most important one to look at.
It's 2024 and polymorphs all consist of skeletons of standard characters

I do like the original model's legs but I don't think they'd work with all the character animations. The base animations, the personalities, the emotes... I assume that if we got a custom skeleton with the polymorph, none of these animations would be usable.

And I really like using the Jester personalities and dance emotes with this polymorph

It needs to be removed.

Funny thing is in a post a few months back I said this exact thing would happen, the post is about someone asking for a Vampire Lord polymorph and me explaining how it would fail your expectations, not to mention it is like 1/3rd his actual size.

It's not about size and exactly, it's about the fact that ZOS didn't even make their skeleton for polymorphs that either have different limbs or no limbs due to levitation.
It's certainly very frustrating that ZOS aren't doing anything about it, and this is in year 2024. And it's ridiculous

the player characters' skeleton is used for so many things like emotes, skills, movement, mementos.
i doubt zos would make an extra skeleton just to give this polymorph more accurate legs.

it's just magical cosplay.
i never expected any polymorph for races or characters that have different skeletons, but they did it anyways and with different legs which makes sense to do.

The polymorph somehow looks weirder than the actual Molag Bal

I criticize ZOS over many things but making a new skeleton and rigging it for every animation players do is unrealistic.

Or make using it a permanent criminal offense.

Agreed. I think they should have just not made this polymorph, nor those weird two-legged “spriggans”

If they used the real MB's leg rigging\skeleton they'd likely have to rework any memento, emote, animation that dealt with legs and feet.
Which is like, most of them.

Thats one way to fix the problem.

I no longer care about these polymorphs after I saw the abomination that ZOS did with the Harrowing Reaper legs. Don't get your hopes up for any kind of ''creature'' or non-humanoid polymorph since you will most likely be disappointed due to them using the player skeleton.

I wish the Lich polymorph would float.

they added a prolimorph of the MG itself, they could do it for the sake of it, but as it is, it just looks ridiculous.

That thing is an abomination! I didn’t even connect the polymorph with what it was supposed to represent and thought it some bizarre creation for Witches’ Festival. ESO has really jumped the shark with all the crazy polymorphs.
