I remember reading somewhere that each race had a special active but was removed. Anyone know why?

    Each race has several passives that can be leveled in the skill trees but I don't think that is what you are asking.

    Each race has a race specific skill tree; this corresponds to what you had in prior ES games such as Skyrim/Oblivion.

    I can only assume you are referring to the standalone ES games?

    Yes, each race had benefits and downfalls (they were inherent, not skill point related).

    There were also birthsigns which have loosely translated to Mundus stone effects.

    They made for a more interesting mix in many ways.

    If they originally implemented this, they probably removed it for balancing purposes ~ not wanting someone to claim that one race was inherently better than another.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.

    In early versions each race had a racial ultimate. But as you can see it was removed to get away from... "This racial is op qq", to bad this type of qq still happened anyways XD

    That Dunmer one sounds amazingly nostalgic, like Ancestor Guardian power in Morrowind/Oblivion. I still like the racial skills available, nice amount of individuality.
