[Mario Alcantar]

according to this video here --> http://www.tesoelite.com/2013/08/eso-interview-with-maria-aliprando/ @4:05 zenimax's Maria Aliprando Specificly states that Zenimax is looking on this forum for what the roleplayers will need for proper roleplaying in ESO

so please list below what you need for roleplaying.

I will state my requests here to start off the requests

1) the ability to sit in chairs

2) an alter for us ashlanders to do our daily worship to our ancestors

3) the "drinking" option emo showing myself perhaps toasting a drink to some one or some thing

4) the ability to get married and have a ceremony with a priest

im sure there are many things roleplayers can list here so please chime in with your requests

This is a feature that is already in the game.

[Daniel Lozano]

Kind of need:

Chat bubbles.

Lots of emotes.

A proper outfit system.(I heard some worrying things)

Don't need but would be awesome:

More classes to roleplay as, after all having the real thing is better than imagining.

And we'll be getting mods, so that's nice.

[Adrian Powers]

Umm....not sure we are using "roleplaying" to mean the same thing. Why would you need a class to RP? Thief? Nightblades are in. Healer? Templar or grab a resto staff. What else would you need? Any class can wear any armor and wield any weapon, so........

What we ALL need to be asking for is the return of the godsbedamned questionnaire!!!

Without that giving us a shot at something resembling a RP server, the rest of this stuff is just window dressing.

[koumba]

Oh, dear god. Do you know what you've done? RPers like myself are about to give lists that will make the devs start drinking more heavily than they already undoubtedly do. That said, I have no guilty feelings.

1. An extensive emote list, complete with animations

2. Enough gear and costumes to make the "clone effect" something that will have to be actively done by players

3. A music system at least as good as LotRO's, if it can't be improved upon

4. Guild housing, if not player housing

5. Player created quests (rewards for completion not necessary, but welcome. Obviously, this will need to be monitored)

6. Different styles of dancing (this could be part of number 1 above, though)

7. Player-run shops

8. A system similar to WoW Modelviewer and Movieviewer

9. Emotes that are interactive with other characters

That's all for now. Obviously, some are more likely to happen than others, especially in the short term. I reserve the right to add to my list as I think of them.

EDIT: The additions, some of which are reminders from other posters

10. Dueling

11. Mini-games, especially within taverns

12. Mini-pets that do more than just follow you around

13. An M-rating (okay, not strictly an RP element, but I'm bloody tired of the T-rated games and their stories. I don't want pixelated boobs, but a story that doesn't rely on poop jokes and pop-culture satire would be nice)

14. A story that makes sense, and doesn't rely on NPCs being total morons

15. Unarmed combat

[xemmybx]

Dueling

Sitting in chairs

Real racist quests.

Flip you the bird emote

In game voice for pugs.

Costumes

Mini games

Housing

[Hot]

Well two people already said the things I really wanted...

Sitting in chairs

Chat bubbles

Drinking emotes

Player housing

Outfit system...from what it sounds like, it's just 1 single slot for a full looking outfit which kind of seems boring, I like being able to chose pieces of gear that I like and make myself look unique, such as different gloves, boots, pants, chest, etc...it sounds like we won't be able to do this and it's going to be a single slot for outfit specific gear, I think TERA does that and it's just boring.

[SaVino GοΜ]

The interview did say that they are not doing chat bubbles themselves, but with LUA support they are looking to the modding community to add that in.

[Vicky Keeler]

I want to be able to get drunk and high. Like EQ. The world would get blurry and start to spin and your words that you typed would get all jumbled and you could not walk straight.

[Your Mum]

What if I want to be a warrior who doesn't use any magic AT ALL? I'm boned.

[Adriana Lenzo]

1)Chat Bubbles WITH the ability to select a specific list of people from whom you want to be able to see chat. The perfect anti-troll device.

2) Ability for players to play intruments

3) Useable and/or portable tents. It's a good compromise between fully fledged player housing and none at all.

4) Effects for alcohol and skooma visible to other players.

[sunny lovett]

our own megaserver channel. not one comprised "mostly" of role-players.

[Ernesto Salinas]

I heard we have rings applied to us if we get married but that's not what im talking about ... im talking about the role playing ceremony itself which includes a chapel and seating and inviting our friends with drinks and food afterwards and also the beloved things that take place with your spouse later that evening after the festivities hehe

this should also include abilities to send out invitations and what type of flowers we will need along with ofcourse the clothing and so much more

[koumba]

I want racial language options, I really miss those about old-school world of warcraft. Basically, a dwarf could change his language to dwarvish, and only other dwarves would be able to understand what he was typing into chat (to everyone else, it'd appear to be gibberish).

I loved having that option for some role play encounters. I can certainly see my khajiit using his own language when talking around the high/wood elves to other members of his race.

[MatthewJontully]

In Meridian 59, when there was a marriage, GMs would literally show up, give the couple a tux and gown, two rings and then lay a huge spread in the banquette halls for all the players. The event would last hours. Very memorable and fun.

[Julia Schwalbe]

Then play a warrior who does not use magic. Pretty easy.

[Kelli Wolfe]

Then I'll still be called a Dragon Knight or Templar Or Sorcerer or Nightblade, all imply magic use.

Anyway I don't really want to get into this, there's a reason why this was on the don't need list.

[-__^]

love to also have "berial ceremonies" for the dead

[Jade Barnes-Mackey]

all you guys ideas are awesome .. please keep em comin so we can get this stuff we need for roleplaying

great ideas so far u guys

[matt oneil]

Roleplay exclusive areas! I cannot tell you how many times in SWTOR when I was trying to RP with my guild that we'd get some doofus that would run around us and jump around our gathering trying to interrupt. Also, sitting & marriage is always nice as you mentioned. Lots of emotes & the ability to play music with a lute or something of that effect like in Skyrim would be nice as well...maybe even custom songs? Homes and guild fortresses so that you can entertain guests. Guild based quests are another bonus. Character voices for actions are a want for me as well...did I mention homes, castles & fortresses??

[Emilie Joseph]

What stops those doofuses from entering the roleplaying zones?

[latrina]

HM, good point! Maybe a guild can set their type of guild and certain zones would be restricted for those kinds of guild only.

[Adam Kriner]

I suggest bans. Only one warning.

(I'm actually serious)

[Carlitos Avila]

1. Brawls, like the ones in Skyrim, no weapons, just fists. For bar fights.
2. Dueling
3. Multi-person Emotes: hi-fives, hugging, kissing, hand shaking, etc...
4. Emote for laying down looking wounded/hurt/dead
5. Ability to share food/drinks
6. Chairs to sit in wile sharing said food and drinks
7. Multiple idle stance animations that you can choose from: like bold, shy, inquisitive, angery
8. Some item to damage our own HP (you have no clue how usefull something like this is in RP)
9. Playing instruments

[Mackenzie]

CHAT BUBBLES.
