Started playing with an idea of Dremora race.

Member of my guild said she'd really like to see a dremora as a playable race and couple new classes with it, physical and caster, Dark knight? :D.

And i started wondering it. It would be hard to write a good story, and they couldn't really "win" in the end, but it would be interesting! Tho it would require new quests on all areas (but there's no need for 30+ fetch quests on all areas anyway, they're boring, i could settle for less quests), or some other way on finishing all the zones. Making a good dremora char is not really an option.

Or completely new zones? Starting to explore the deadric realms, not even going to Tamriel that much, it would require different achievements from the Tamriel world. There's a lot of Lore to explore, and things to see in Daedric realms i'm sure. You couldn't finish both world with the same character, but i personally wouldn't mind.

It's a long-shot, i admit that. But fun idea to play around with, and i'm getting a bit tired on games that let me save the world, be the hero of everything and everyone loves you etc.

And then there's the possibility of a new PvP area, where daedric forces and "good" forces would collide. Smaller than Cyrodiil, with two sides clashing onto each other. As much as i love ESO, and gaming, there's so few games that actually let's us play as an evil char, and i'd love that option to choose which side you're on. And that PvP wuold be awesome.

    Please no. Why new class? Why new race?
    There are already classes which is so unlike TES where you can try all the skills with one characters.
    And there is already xivkin polymorphs so you can play dremora all you want.

    Nah, it's a skin, not the same imo. Just a cosmetic change. People's attitude towards me don't change for example.

    That is true, and would like to see it changed also, it's those little things that really adds depth to a game.

    That would have to be a completely new game.
    Since in this story setup, dremora would be eternally "kill on sight" in all of tamriel. And would need a completely different mainstory. And would be inegliable for almost all quests. et cetera.

    The basic idea of playing an TES game from the dremora side isn't all bad. Done right, it could make a interesting single-player TES game, a bit in the spirit of "Wizardry IV", perhaps...

    But this idea is completely incompartible with the lore of ESO.

    Agreed, vampires really -should- get a bit of change, make them feel more like playing what is considered a "blood sucking fiend" instead of just a character with an additional skill line. Werewolves as well. But that is a different discussion, to be had elsewhere... ;)

    Xivkyn Polymorph really isn't a bad idea. You get the exact same look and vocals as a Xivkyn, and the Xivkyn are actually made up of classes already available to us.

    - Stam sorc (Xivkyn Hammerfist)
    - DK (Xivkyn Eviscerator)
    - Vampire Nightblade (Xivkyn Voidstalker)
    - Templar/Healer (Xivkyn Cauterizer)

    So technically, if you wanted to RP as a Dremora/Xivkyn, it's 100% possible already. Once you've got the poly it can be used on any character, so just start a new one with a dremora-friendly name and you're good to go.

    When I was struggling with the available space in my inventory I wanted to create a character just to dump stuff and I remember I tried to make a dremora, a scamp, anything that would be ugly and hump but the "marvelous" character creation system didn't allow me to do it so I gave up.

    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

    I was told that because of their alliance that they would be Lore unfriendly to play.I too want to play as one.

    Classes have existed in all TES games, excluding Skyrim (which is one of the many reasons i didn't like the game). So it doesn't make sense at all to say Classes aren't TES

    But it does make sense to say that about class restricted skills/abilities access... as was also mentioned in the same sentence.

    Pretty much answered for me.
    Yes, classes were there before Skyrim. However neither in MOrrowing nor in oblivion they meant anything more than a set of characteristics in THE BEGINNING of the game. Classes did not restrict you in any way, you still could use any skill in game and at some point all the classes were equal in everything and the difference would be erased. Classes only defined a starting set of bonuses and that's it.

    no ...plain simple to the point. They are not even from this plane and are immortal just to name a few of the problems with them. Their spirits if you will just go to the void when they get splatted. In other words they do not even belong on nirn. They are from some place else. Realm of one of the daedra princes in particular mehrunes dagon is normally their patron. To balance them and so on would be a mess we just simply do not need with the supposed "imbalance" that already exists.
    So like the dwemer think you will just have to use imagination rather then get a new playable race.
