Another big feature coming with theStonethornDLC in addition to the new gameplay content and collectibles in the option for Character Pathing.Way back inSkyrimdays,The Elder Scrollsseries began exploring home building with itsHearthstoneDLC release that enabled players to build houses completely from scratch. InESO,it began dabbling in sandbox gaming a little further with its thirteenth update known asHomestead.Forty different house types became available to players, in both furnished and unfurnished versions.
With theStonethornupdate, players will be able to enhance their home life a little bit further with the Character Pathing addition. Players can build paths for their residents, including pets, mounts, and assistants, to follow. By utilizing nodes, players will be able to specify locations for each path and even pick walk speed, add delays, and decide if they want the characters to loop or not. All of this will allow players' homes to have a little more livelihood and feel a bit more lived-in than before.
