Roleplaying Tools

So, sittable chairs has been fixed. If you emote /sitchair, you get a chair...

But what about other features that will make it fun to RP? I understand that there will be no chat bubbles or player names, but hopefully these can be toggled on our added in going forward, like WoW did with chat-bubbles. What I am more interested in is aesthetics.

ESO already has a wide range of emotes, but will there be non-combat armor: simple clothing like in Oblivion and Skyrim? Will there be non-combat off-hand items, like torches, walking sticks, or haunches of meat? Will there be large areas such as taverns, or simply empty buildings, in which roleplayers can congregate? WoW, the big-dog of the MMO world, offered all of this at the beginning. One would think that if the Elder Scrolls wants to snag the largest amount of players, they should want to appeal to this fanbase as well.

I was wondering if anyone has found such content already available in Cyrodiil for example? Or throughout the levelling regions?

I'd at least like to see the option for toggle-able names and chat bubbles though, so both parties can be satisfied. I can't possibly imagine being in a cramped tavern, sitting on a chair that materialised from my rear huddling around the chat box to see three other conversations in the same building. So having bubbles would be a great help in these situations when I can choose to focus more on what my party is saying rather than what everyone else in a 20-yard proximity is.

Empty buildings would be pretty nice and perhaps boats that just sail casually from one point to another, and you're free to hop on as you please playing pirates. I'd love to do that! I guess finally some celebrations that happen every few months of the year and everybody gathers to socialise and celebrate. The Tamriel equivalent of Oktoberfest would be a good start.
