Why do most eso activities often feel so unrewarding? And how do you think it is possible to fix this?

i think one of the biggest problem is that there basically no long-term goals for veteran players to accomplish other than housing, fashion to lesser extend, achievements(rarely have interesting rewards) and sets sticker book(which is mostly pretty useless).

My idea would be to shamelessly steal guild war 2 world bosses, legendaries(that would work often as material sinks for not abundant resources) and generally update crafting system and saturate world with unique rewards and crafting materials that you can always sell. dynamic encounters are nice step in this directions but right now it is not enjoyable to do them.

But i guess it is probably already too late so it is just my rant. I just tried gw2(it has horizontal progression too) recently and it makes me sad and i can't unsee how many mmo aspects can be improved in eso(and i love tes lore).

Is there an explanation why (some) coldharbour wayshrines have proper (orange) flame while all other wayshrines have blue flame?

It seems there is no explanation on uesp wiki about this. At first i though wayshrines have orange flame in coldharbour because our character have relation to molag bal realm but then i noticed that some wayshrines there have blue flame. Then my theory was that only displaced wayshrines (plainmelded) have orange flame but is seems not true too. Any other ideas?

do you still need original indrik mount before you can get updated form with consuming not updated indrik?

or it got the same treatment as other event collectibles that needed pet before update but no longer?

zos can we please get bunch of non-human/non-humanoid companions like animals (dogs/cats/birds/etc.) or lesser daedra (scamps/daedrats/etc.)

imho it should not take much resources to copypaste enemies/quest allies and make them companions especially considering animals don't need much of voice acting and quest lines. They can be made available through short quests(and i think they even can be added to already existing quest lines that feature (saving) animals). Obviously they will have less amount of available skills, won't have customization. The only thing i am not sure is companion gear but i think it may warrant to introduce new companion gear for animals(like collars or something). What do you think?

how do you be a friend with someone\maintain a friendship? what are the rules?

i remember asking myself this question long time ago and still i don't have a definite answer. I have always thought that if it doesn't happen organically than i don't actually want it and if i try to do/initiate it purposefully than that won't be authentic me so i will basically lie to people. So i just decided to not even try. Now that i learned what autism is, it kinda makes more sense that social rules were hard for me to understand.

I always had only 2 moods: either i talk with person every day or i don't talk with them at all. Do you plan to spend time together at the same day every week/month/year to maintain friendship? how do you spend this time? what are you talk about? do you ask set questions every time? does it feel weird if you do it this way all the same time(same time, same type of questions)? if you are the one who always initiate contact does it mean other person doesn't want it? what are the other rules you need to maintain? are there a books/articles worth reading about this?

New thieves guild mythic: is there actually any strong builds using it(other than for thieving)?

i assume sorc benefit most from it with class mastery passive that turn % of max mag/stam into weapon/spell dmg? though it seems weaker than death dealer's fete ring (but also we don't know how strong it will be with all updates/gems, though i don't think much stronger). i think i remember pvp sorc build that used fete ring, i am wondering if this talisman will be better? Any other uses?

maybe a weird question but does anyone else hate sweating and how it affects your routine?

i hate how i need to change my routine because of this. Like taking shower even though i took it already, washing my scalp even though i would need to wash it only on a next day or something like that, changing my clothes even though they would have been still clean otherwise and so on.

the worst thing is than i sweat a lot when i am nervous and i am nervous a lot when something goes not as it should. but also other 50% of time i can follow my daily routine without such issues

how to deal with werewolves in pvp?...

not having a werewolf while other team has one is a lose most of the time for me. i thought about poison long-distance bow build but i do not see poison weakness debuff now in werewolf passives. I think there was a note that when your are in werewolf form you take increased poison damage(like vampires from fire). have they removed that debuff now? what other ways to deal with them then?

i know that pvp balance is kinda in joke state right now(and most of the game time, especially after subclassing) but i want to progress veterancy

are subclassing builds now weaker than pureclass ones?(for dps? for healer/tanks? in pvp?)

not that i am not happy that pure classes now are more viable than they was with subclassing era but i am wondering if there is a point in subclassing now other than roleplaying and some very niche and specific encounter/pvp?

how do i know if my hdd is failing or i just did something wrong during linux installation and initial setup?

The problem i have with my hdd is that when i install anything relatively big on it(like games), btrfs partition often gets superblocked, as i assume because of corrupted files, and even when i was able to install game, its performance is pretty bad(super long load screens even for old game and even then i need even more time to load some textures).

I don't remember having such issues on windows with this hdd so i assume i might have done something wrong during linux installation/setup.

SMART test seems to show that "This device appears to be working as expected." and i got some conflicting information from people: some said it is mostly looks fine and some that it is bad. Any help?

edit: also i have ssd where my system is installed and other games and there i don't have any similar issues at all.

i don't understand what can i do to sustain myself without burning myself out? how do(did) you deal with this?

i am so scared poverty and poverty trap(i have no degree) but also i am so scared to apply to any jobs because of possible burnouts. I am in my mid 20 and i still live with my parents. I don't like to depend on them so much and at some point soon i think think they will force me to leave.

I feel like i have just established most of my routine(cooking\eating, sleeping, some exercises, hygiene, cleaning, etc.) and it already drains all my energy and time. I don't see what career path i can follow without turning into burned out zombie.

does deluxe edition contain additional cosmetics or have zos removed option to buy version with cosmetics?

(i know that you can buy these cosmetics with crowns in crown shop)

i want to get some outfit styles that previously were hidden behind more expensive version of latest dlc and all the lacking big dlc zones but i see only 2 versions of the game on steam: basic one with morrowind and deluxe with all dlcs. I think previously the one that contained all dlcs without additional cosmetics called just "premium pass" so does it mean that deluxe contain cosmetics? have anyone bought it?

Do you guys sometimes feel like you are stuck in your routine and even when you need and want to change something you just can't do it until it is basically not possible to avoid it any more? How do you deal with this?

Right now i am in this situation. I am so scared of the unknown and possible burnouts so i just avoid even preparing to this change but i know that at some point i will be forced to make this change and it will be much more stressful and uncomfortable than if i do it myself with preparation. And this is not the first time i am in similar situation.

I am wondering if this is common for people with ASD and if so how do you deal with it?
