Very cool! Is there a power that makes animals friendly?

Not yet! The Morrowind expansion introduces a new class that can have animal combat companions! Super excited!

Great shots! I love that bunny, it's so regal sitting atop that rock.

The bunnies and deer are already friendly; but there are certain quests you can do in certain areas that cause the wild animals of that area to be friendly to the Player for the rest of the game.

The Daggerfall Covenant/Glenumbra has the "Wyrd" area (huge area!) that (once you have finished that questline) the bears and wolves in that whole area will never attack you again (unless you attack them, and doing that may break the bond you have with them) They will still attack any player that hasn't completed the quest there, just not those that have.

The Aldmeri Dominion/Auridon has a smaller area that is heavily populated with bear and wolves attacking when you arrive - after doing the questline they become friendly; and for the rest of the game you can pass unmolested through there while everyone else that hasn't done the quest is getting attacked. Again = if you attack them they will attack you back; and your bond with them might be broken.

(so don't ever come to that area seeking easy pelts. I don't even defend another player against them = don't want the bond broken).

The Ebonheart Pact has one area where the Giants and Mammoth become friendly to the Player, but it is a very small place - does not apply to any other mammoth or giants.

The game has several areas rife with attacking ghosts that = once completing the questline you can pass through them untouched after; while others with/around you that haven't done the quest will still have to fight their way through.

Thanks all, for the kind words. @SubRosa, mALX is right on the critters. Deer & antelope are quite realistically unpredictable. Sometimes they're very skittish, other times you can just about push them out of the way. Such was the case for that antelope shot.

I love that the giants and mammoths are quite like Skyrim's. They generally tolerate you getting fairly close before deciding you are worth their hostile attention.

In general, you can skirt around most hostile critters if you give them a bit of distance.

As for the bunny, Buffy was trying to recruit it into her 'long-earred gang'.

Acadian, what a charming series of forest friend pictures! The bunny one is my favorite. I love how Buffy is looking up at it. Child of Dawn is so pretty and peaceful. Pictures with Superian always make me smile.

Thank you, Grits. Scenery is quickly becoming one of my favorite things in ESO. Just riding around looking is breathtaking.

The following characters may appear familiar to anyone who's read SitC...

Gee, I wonder who snuck to the skyshard on top of the Bleakrock Isle barrow completely unarmed?

And disguised herself as a bandit to grab the shard in the mine, still completely unarmed.

(Rule #1 of playing Adryn is that she cannot fight. This makes her interesting but exhausting to play, and I may have to give my other characters a few points in the crafting skills so we don't have to rely on her to gather mats. Particularly hide, lol.)

In the meantime, mALX's new dye station gets a visitor.

After dyeing her armour a more becoming shade, Ervesa relaxes with... a mug of Nord mead, apparently? You do you, Ervesa.

Aaand posing. You're aware that that isn't actually your home, right, Ervesa? All you've got is a cubbyhole in Ebonheart where you're trying to save up for a basket for the cat.

(So I bought the personalities pack thinking Furious might work for Adryn. It doesn't quite - I was hoping more grumpy and less... furious, lol - but Cheerful is the BEST THING EVER and I am never taking it off Ervesa oh my god look at her grinning at you there.)

You might get higher quality pics in better lighting in a few days.

Adryn! So happy to see her in ESO!

Oh, I agree on Cheerful. That is Buffy's primary personality. She also has Dutchess but that is pretty posh/pretentious for Buffy.

Isn't that crafting courtyard that mALX set up at Hunding House Our Guildhall just fantastic?

Entwined

Overgrown

Exploring

Sunshine

Neat how the trees are wrapped around one another. Is the low, squat one a little Hist tree?

Very cool stone fortress in Overgrown.

Yep, and the tree with the pale bark is an Auridon cherry blossom.

D'aaaw, my favorite is the posing with the gorgeous smile! ADRYN !!!! Wow, poor Adryn can't fight? Urk, better give you some enchanted armor with some protective qualities!







Oh, does this mean you did buy Strident Springs?

Hazmick, what wonderful screenshots! You continue to showcase the scenic glory of ESO magnificently. I simply love the 'Entwined' shot; the elegant Auridon cherry and the deeply rooted Hist so perfectly represent Ciri and Haa-Rei.

@Everyone - glad to see Adryn has fans! And @mALX - let's just say that my stealth skills are really getting a workout. Especially since Adryn being completely combat incapable does not in fact keep her from random moments of heroism.

@hazmick - those screenshots are beautiful! Like Acadian, I love the 'Entwined' shot - what perfect positioning for those trees!

Kazaera, how fun to see Adryn sneaking about getting things done on Bleakrock! Yay! I love that short hairstyle on her. That’s how Lleduri wears her hair. I think it looks particularly great on Elven lasses. Grinning Ervesa is a favorite. I love how Cheerful make them randomly rock up on their toes and whistle.

hazmick, Entwined steals the show, and it’s even lovelier in person. What a great field of sunflowers in Sunshine. Your scenic screenshots always make me want to go traveling!

Glad everyone likes the trees - I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out.


Got some shots from a recent Nordic invasion:

Taking a dippity dip with Argis (Haute) and Jerric (Grits).

Now it's a real pool party

Jerric was sad that there were no pretty Bosmer lasses frolicking near the waterfall...then one appeared!

Woot! I'm so glad you got some pix! It was so neat to see the wonderful things you've done at Haa-Rei's place and such fun to play in that beautiful waterfall-fed pool complete with diving platform! Best part, of course, was the warm company.

D'aaaaaaw, Misa missed the fun! Awesome, I'm so glad you got that place, I love the waterfall there!

Oh yay, you got pictures! That was such fun.

Poor mudcrab!

Priceless!

The mudcrab!!


Here's Jerric in his festival regalia: Deserving of this crown

Hee! Jerric the Jester!

OMG, does he have the Jester Personality? I saw someone with it in Mournhold and thought I would split a gut laughing !!!!! That Jester Personality is hysterical !!! Misa WANTS IT !!!

I'll have to get one of her in her Jester's hat, she really looks funny, lol.

Okay, here is Misa in her Jester Festival Regalia, lol :



http://i.imgur.com/x8L8SRl.png

Oh, Misa looks great in her guild tabard and crown!

Yay, Misa looks great in her crown!


Jerric doesn't have the Jester personality, that stance is from Cheerful. I love the Jester one! Too bad we're broke until our May Crown supply hits.

I'm Crown broke too, That Jester personality is hysterical! I love it!!!

Jerric’s Jester’s Festival costume escalation: Let’s go, pig!

BWAAHAA! Nude, with boots and gauntlets?

Misa loves the crown, I hope we can still wear it after the festival ends, lol

I should not look at Jerric screenshots when people are around, they'll think I'm choking on something. That is AMAZING. Glad to know Jerric's enjoying himself!

That crown looks great on Jerric. It not only fits him but, as his primary item of clothing, nicely showcases the rest of his non-outfit.

Buffy wore the crown on the first day but, honestly, it is so big and she is so small that it makes her look like a toddler wearing her mother's high heels.

Thanks to mALX's training skeleton I can get a much better idea of Ciri and Haa-Rei's height difference.

Oh deer

Elden Root Fighter's Guild window

Elden Root Mage's Guild window

Sneaky screenie

Oh, neat idea. Buffy will have to get a shot of her by the lizard skellie. That deer was ‘being one with the tree’. Luvs Elden Root! Woot – a Misa sighting!

Somone's taking hiding in the trees a bit too literally.

That is the Chorrolite Training Skeleton, lol. Wow, now I need to go see if Misa is taller than the skellie too!

OMG, I didn't see you in Craglorn! That is kind of cool to see how Misa looks to another player (as far as the name, title, etc).

Awesome shots, I really love the Eldon Root windows!!!

I forgot I had this.

The Royal Jester

A soft boy.

D'Aaaaw !!!!

What a fun shot!

hazmick, I had never compared those windows. Neat! How fun to see Misa at work. Love the shot of tall, elegant Ciri.

monkey, what a charming picture of Jo’zira! I love it.

Princess Rescuer

Grump Cheerer

Aww, nice to see you having such fun at the JestiFest. The rose petals in the air are gorgeous.

hazmick, I love your festival pictures! What a sweet moment with the Princess, and Ciri in a cloud of petals is just stunning. Yay!

couple of screenies of the other two festival goers:

Tsarakiri - the second most popular princess in Tamriel.

Lagakha - festive cheer?

Kitty Petals is beautiful!

My goodness. Not even a crown of rose petals is gonna make Lagakha any less intimidating!

BWAAHAA !!!! Looks like she caught the grumpy instead of spreading the cheer, lol.






Aw, she is so beautiful!!! This shot is my favorite of the two, for obvious reasons! ( *sniff* )

Spent last night practice decorating Snugpod on the PTS = going to buy it now that I have figured out what to do with it for my non-Bosmer characters, lol.


http://imgur.com/a/yiXiR

Wow, mALX. Your deco-talent is amazing. What a wonderfully cosmo rendition of the Snugpod!
