    How does it violate lore?

    Sorry, did you read nobody else's post besides mine? I think it is made abundantly clear by several posts how it violates established lore; I see no need to explain it for the short bus.

    No need to become bitter and nasty. I just asked a question and wanted to see your opinion on that. I really wasn't trying to make you upset. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my 5 word statement that was made previously.

    If there was a new playable race then it would not be the first time in the TES games. A good example are the Orc and Imperial races.

    If you want to be rude, inconsiderate and immune to proper discussion then I can "Take you to school" if you wish.

    Actually, there are plenty of posts showing why adding certain specific races as playable would violate lore. There is not a single post showing how adding any race would violate lore no matter the race.

    You know why there isn't a single post showing that? Because there are absolutely several races that could be added without violating lore. Maormer are one. Imga are another. Akaviri are another. The other Khaajit breeds are still others.

    So before you make disparaging remarks about the intelligence of others, perhaps you should examine your own post, because your post was the one that was stupid. Thinking "adding race X violates lore, and adding Y race violates lore, therefore there isn't any race at all that can be added without violating lore" is, frankly, ridiculous.

    Seanolan obviously didn't play Daggerfall. xD

    It's free for download by Bethesda on their website along with Arena as well.

    Female Dremora are the most aesthetically pleasing entities ever to grace Nirn and the infinite beyond.

    I'd find much joy reading up on Dremora role-players, even more-so on Dremora debauchery parties of delectable Mephala delectableness.

    While I would love to play a Dremora (I have kind of a thing for them... see my latest Skyrim mod), and can even imagine reasons why one Dremora would defect from a Daedric lord and live on Nirn and get involved with the "little mortals," having hundreds of players running around as Dremora would not really work. That same reasoning goes for Akaviri, Dremer, Falmer and most other races listed as well.

    Those Dremora are sexy! Great mods are great.

    But yeah - hundreds of people running around as Dremora?
    The only one that really makes any sense isn't on the list and that's Dremora.

    Devs have said you will never have Daedra as Player Characters.
    How about half races? Half orc, half elf.. ect. An Argonian Khajiit? There shouldn't be any lore issues since I have seen plenty of quests already of interracial love interests... Though I guess there not being any half breeds in later games I guess could be an issue....eh, what can you do?

    The only Half race are the Breton, which took untold generations, half-breeds actually have to be their mothers race, unless you set up a situation where two species are interbreeding over hundreds of years.

    So no, no half-races.

    I would want to see the Dwemer. Dwemer could be the remnants of their race. there is already precedent for Dwemer to still be in Tamriel if you refer to the Dwemer in Morrowind.

    It could make for an interesting and tragic story with us being able to enjoy the last of a great and dying race...that is if they actually died. Maybe those left in Tamriel would have merely been left behind.

    Nope, only one of them escaped whatever happened to them, that's enshrined in lore. We can't have a small colony of them, besides they had weird powers, how would you replicate that without making them the only race playable, and they aren't Dwemer without those powers.
