    I asked for it multiple times in the crown store wishlist section, haven't seen it yet, it's been years since last appearance... Would purchase it as soon as I see it but I'm losing hope.
    Still, I don't get why they are not putting it back in store.

    Not a big fan of "limited time" or artificial scarcity that they utilize in the crown store. Just load that sucker up with all previous purchasable things that aren't crown crates man... you'll make more money too lol. Never understood it.

    It's about getting people to buy crowns at full price whenever the limited time items show up, if everything was always available people would be more likely to wait for crown sales before buying anything.

    I'm going to be perfectly candid about my opinion of the "Drunk Personality" but I will try to be respectful as well.

    This emote shows what appears to be a massively intoxicated staggering drunk. There is no nice way to put this. It's not funny. It's not amusing. In any place, except of course Tamriel, if you were staggeringly intoxicated in public you would be arrested.

    I apologize for taking this very seriously but I do recognize that very young people play this game and it sets a terrible example.

    My opinion is simply this: drinking is fine; drunkenness is not.

    On the other hand, I do use Breda's Bottomless Mead Mug emote, which does not display any drunkenness.

    I do not expect ZOS will make any changes to the emote based on my preferences. Apologies to those who differ with me.

    Cheers?

    Very young people shouldn't be playing this game and if it were altered with them in mind overland would be all about chasing butterflies with nets instead of running around killing things.
    Running someone through and stealing their soul to get a recipe you already know from them is much worse than stumbling about drunk.

    When I saw it reappear during New Life years ago, I jumped all over it. It and Jester personality are less common returns, get them while/when you can. Personally it is nice to have some semi rare things, but I think it should return more often slightly.

    Apparently young people are much smarter in this regard and not as into drinking as genx and boomers, and if they do they're much more responsible and less likely to binge drink. Or so I've read.

    IMO this game should not be played by children, at least under 15-16 anyways. Agreed it clearly mentions the adult warnings for sexual themes, drug/alcohol use. That being said, I was watching adult movies and playing adult games much younger than that. It is up to the parents to do their thing or not. The whole drinking theme is a part of the Nord culture even, visit almost any Nord town/village and there is drinking npc's wandering around staggering.

    Murdering people as part of the Dark brotherhood, Stealing items from all over tamriel, Killing creatures and other players in pvp are all fine, but you draw the line at an optional personality because of the way the character appears to be drunk?

    I agree with this. I'd like the goblin polymorph to return as well.

    Wellyou know what? It IS the Spirit of ESO to role play - and my *character* can also be PRETENDING to be drunk - when using the personality. The Assassin ones could also make very young children think assassinating people is sexy ohno!

    Children do not belong here. ESO is PEGI 18 rated/Mature - and their parents are who are meant to be monitoring them. I wouldn't let my kids play this - for many reasons.

    Children don't need to/and should not be everywhere. Let adults have some of our own spaces, thanks.

    This reminds me of people not wanting the option to be able to hide gear pieces... In both cases it's a facepalm from me.

    To me, it's not at all about "think of the children." In fact, as someone pointed out above, the "children" (younger generation) seem to be doing fine. More and more, stumbling around in public visibly intoxicated is very frowned upon. It's Millennial and older who have more of a tendency to glamorize it or think it's cool.

    I tend to err on the side of live and let live, so I'm all for the personality becoming available again. But I can also see the point of the poster above who is negative about it. Whenever I see someone use it in-game, I immediately form an impression of that person that they must be very immature and/or very fortunate to have somehow never crossed paths with someone who actually stumbled around visibly intoxicated, steadily ruining their lives in the process. There is no such thing as a functioning alcoholic. There's just a period of masking until it becomes harder and harder and then suddenly impossible.

    I understand the comparison to the assassin personality and the concept of role-play. It's a good point. For me, the difference is that RP as an assassin is clear fantasy. Most of us, just based on statistics, aren't actually assassins, are not former recovering assassins, and don't personally know any assassins. But almost all of us, if we live long enough, will know an alcoholic or addict, probably someone we care about. It hits different.
