Why not add a dwarven race and another healing/dps class. Maybe a shapeshifting class or one that could viably heal other than Templar.

Thoughts?

    Pretty sure Bethesda (Todd Howard's team) would nix anything regarding the dwemer.

    Beth seems adamant that the dwemer remain an in-game mystery and I'm cool with that.

    There have been a few threads in the past few months regarding new races being added to ESO. It is true that there are MANY races that ZOS could introduce, (I go over a few of therm here: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/149340/hopefully-someday-we-will-travel-all-of-nirn), most aren't exactly lore friendly.

    More importantly, though, is that we have a LOT of mileage left in the races we have. I guess my point is... Let's hope for something a little more creative than new races. The Elder Scrolls can offer SO much more than that. :wink:

    They try to keep lore in mind. The Dwemer haven't appeared as a playable race in any of the games. I think it was Oblivion or Morrowind where you actually got to meet "the last dwemer". (A fat spider-esque man)

    HOWEVER: If they keep lore in mind- they could add Maormer (Sea Elves), Falmer (Snow Elves- pre blind and shriveled), Igma (Great Apes), Limothiit (Fox-like creatures similar to Khajiit), and Kothringi (Blue-skinned humans).

    Falmer are currently underground and "extinct"... but we know that they still exist in their original form. (See: Skyrim)
    Limothiit and Kothringi were supposedly wiped out by the Knahaten Flu... but ESO managed to find a loophole for bringing back the Kothringi.

    Technically speaking- they can bring back Dwemer, too. They'd just have to use an Elder Scroll to manipulate time... much like the premise of Skyrim. (Accidentally sending Alduin from the past to the future.)

    If ZOS did add races- I could easily see Maormer and Igma being added. Hell, I even remember seeing a mention of Minotaurs... but I don't know if they're considered an "intelligent race".

    Maormer and Dwemer are what Im hoping to see in a upcoming TES, be it VI or VII I dont care. Im really interested in those.
    For the Dwemer to "suddenly appear from wherever they went to" somehow and start a war against Tamriel after advancing even further, allowing them crazier dwemer stuff than we know of so far. In case they didnt really die or got lost forever of course.

    But even as much I wish for the Maormer to come, I think TES was always centered around the happenings on Tamriel(in the Singleplayer games/ESO, not in Lore) so I doubt we'll see Maormer from Pyandonea or something from Akavir etc.

    The only possible scenario I can imagine for TES VI is, the Maormer have managed to gain a foothold and conquered a part of tamriel, this time successfully, basically making them playable (as they are a part of tamriel now).

    This is an Elder Scrolls game. There are no hobbits, ring-wraiths, (living) dwarves, or Tom frickin Bombadil. Tamriel has its own lore and flavour that's very distinct from that of Middle Earth, and it's better off that way rather than being a Lord of the Rings clone.

    Elder Scrolls is not a watered-down generic fantasy setting, there are no dwarves and even the orcs and elves have more complexity than most other settings. Middle Earth charm is an entirely different set of aesthetics that would not work with this game series.

    Dwemer...no. Doesn't fit the lore, and no matter how ZOS would try to do it, it wouldn't make sense. Besides, they'd be ruining an incredibly useful storytelling tool. That's unwise.

    I don't really want more races. We have the core 10. I agree with @Gidorick, I'd like more customization, more subcultures, more deity/daedra tie-ins, more class variation, more guilds, etc. That'd be more fitting with the lore, more immersive, and in some cases, actually provide more in the way of changing or improving gameplay than just adding a new playable race.

    While we're on the subject - no more classes either, please? Give more abilities or morphs within the existing ones, but 4 is plenty when they're so versatile.

    @jaburns, I agree that ZOS could add new races by using lore loopholes... and the biggest loophole of them all is Tamriel itself. Lore enthusiasts love to whip out the Knahaten Flu card to explain why the Lilmothiit and the Kothringi CAN'T be in the game, but there is nothing that says they can't be alive and well in another part of Nirn. I explore this idea here:

    I like knowing that Dwemer are a mystery that fuels a number of adventures and treasure seekers, adding them kills that, stop asking for it.

    I'd much prefer to see the bloodlines and cultural offshoots before "new races" and if you're trying to get the classic fantasy feel to this game, you need to realize you're bad and you should feel bad. This is Tamriel, not Middle-Earth. This game has been able to avoid grandpappy tolkien's gaze for quite some time, let's keep it that way.

    Man, I want to go to Akavir so bad...I know ZOS is working on taking us to other planes of Oblivion (Mephala's Realm is currently being developed, we know that much), which will be awesome, but I want to see Akavir, visit Pyandonea, explore whatever ruins may exist of Yokuda or Atmora...damn that would be so cool.

    Snow elves = Falmer. You know those horrible creatures that try killing you everything you go into a cave in Skyrim. When the Dwemer feed them the mushrooms to take there sight that's all it too was there sight the creatures they are in the 4th era and maybe 2nd era happened over centuries of mutation. Yes in Skyrims DLC dawnguard and you meet "the last snow elf" he said there is a small chance that there maybe more like him priests who avoided the who problem and avoided the mushrooms and maybe 100% normal in some small part of Skyrim. So if ZOS does add some Snow Elf/Falmer thing to ESO it's most likely gonna be a story or quest and not a new race.

    Some cameo's as a quest is fine as far as I'm concerned, but I'd never want to see them as a playable race, it's a great part of lore to run into them in the tunnels below Skyrim.
