...silt striders...

also.. a tame troll (wishful thinking; but it WOULD be awesome )
possibly a sort of fleshcrafted flesh atronach? that would probably look really creepy though.

I am surprised so far no one has mentioned using a rickshaw pulled by Stibbons.

I would like a Dwemer motorbike that only engineers can make....

Yeah. Tamriel is big, there must be some kind of mount you can ride.
Everybody has a horse.. There's nothing unique about it..
Some ideas:
Guar
Dwemer spider (like the ones in dungeons, just big enough to mount. It could for an example drop by the final boss in veteran Darkshade Caverns)
Daedric horse ?

My no vote, like, I think, most others, is not an outright no, just a (very) qualified one. I have no objection in principle to lore-friendly alternative mounts. The trouble is - and I think of the egregious goat mounts in Lotro, for example - that in MMOs it is very hard to restrict ownership and use of mounts to lore-friendly situations.

Guar, for example, can be justified in Morrowind - although (and I openly admit, it's without research and I could happily and easily, indeed probably, be worng) I thought they were used as pack animals rather than mounts - but I don't think it's very likely that you would have seen them in, say, Daggerfall, and at least not in any great quantity.

But you can't restrict them to Morrowind and its immediate environs. So you will get loads of them all over Tamriel. And maybe I'm a natural pessimist, but I find it hard to believe that it will end with guar. Little by little you end up with individually just feasible, but in large numbers wildly improbable, mounts: like the undead or daedric ones already mentioned in this thread (which just from my own personal point of view I would say are not that lore-friendly to anyone but undead or daedric riders, respectively).

And then, before long, the cities look like circus freak shows and I am no longer in a Tamriel that feels like the world I have enjoyed over the course of these few years. So, fearing the equivalent of elves riding goats around Bree, I am apprehensive of the longer-term outcome of expanding the range of mounts.

I used to have my Dwarf in LOTRO ride her goat around elf areas - just to tick them off Also I did it to annoy the horsey men in Rohan.

Rideable pack guar for the win
And senche tigers

I would have been quite happy in LOTRO without goats at all to be honest - even though I used them for mischief. I don't think JRRT ever mentioned the finest bearded race charging round on giant horned hairballs.

theres so many possibilitys, yes id like more mounts then horses



i ride dragons in skyrym so.... that should be only possible after a extremely hard quest, nearly impossible. solo only. and so impossible that max level goto be good, no build should make it easy.

it should stay rare

even if im not good enough to get it a dragon should be rare

Oh one of these again...

Yes for the variety. Guars, Senche-Raht, Bears I'm all for it as long as it fits the Lore with exception of flying Dragons. Please no Pegasus, Unicorn, My Little pony, Nyan-cat, Motorcycle, Spaceship.

Actually there are unicorns on older TES games, though I never was a fan of them...

yes totally , i would not go so far saying i would want dragons.

But you know ... something more than just horses would be nice.



And for all that is sacred , add shadowmere with the dark brotherhood!

That would be kinda weird if suddenly everybody rides on the same (unique) mount. It worked well in Oblivion and Skyrim but for an MMO, generic mounts are better imo. Having unique, named mounts available for all is not really lore friendly.

I always feel bad having to kill the npc tigers, I would totally wanna ride with one!

Or merely a flying dragon, dat be hella cool

We already have three types of mounts: horses, Argonians, and Khajiit. ZOS just hasn't made two of them rideable yet.

For the love of god please NO. It is already bad enough that people put horses in buildings to kill everyones immersion, imagine a mammoth. I personally would love to see them limit mounts to outside of towns and once inside towns you have to stable the mount.

Plus I hate the fluffy bunny mount crap that other MMOs do. Keep it lore specific and keep it making sense, none of the hundred diferent ridable bears, mammoths, rabbits and so on..

Although, as a few have posted interest in dragon mounts, dragons have no mention of being around at the point in time ESO is taking place. Alduin won't show up to resurrect them for a very long time.
