    I say add another continent so we can have some different tastes. Like Maormer or Akaviri Add near the Imperial selection. So they can select which alliance they can belong.

    Yes, my brother would love that, and yes - he is a furry fan. He'd live and breathe that place lol. I'd stay away from it like the plague. I am not keen on beast races in the lore personally. Men, orcs and multi-coloured elves are more than enough for me. But something tells me one of the lore-writers in TES definitely has a furry fetish going on.

    You do know that Anthropomorphic Animals has been a thing LONG before the term "Furry" was even coined, right? Humanizing animals goes way back into Ancient times, much of it Mythological.

    Yes, I am aware of that, but in the last few decades, when people see animal-people they only see furries, I doubt they think of ancient myths and legends. Don't underestimate the furries, they have a massive cult-like following worldwide.

    No. Races beyond the 10 we get to play with are supposed to be exceedingly rare. No new races, period.

    Even if they will come to eso in the form of some sort of story quest, a playable race they will never be, and it wouldn't make sense to have them as a playable race.

    We've established that the lore wouldn't support them being a playable race, but that there's no reason for them to not exist as NPCs who escaped the Knahaten Flu. How about a Lilmothiit polymorph as a reward for the associated quest chain?

    Tell that to these thrice-damned Fish Elves littering our beautiful coasts!
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Wasn't Tamriel supposed to be home to some ancient bird-based beast race, too, before the Merethic Era?

    I thought there was a lore book in Skyrim (or ESO) that explained how early Altmer navigators discovered them in, of all places, central Cyrodiil, but that the species vanished not long afterward.

    I wanna see a picture of them :)!

    @altemriel found this........ >:)

    For these people who still think I'm asking for another playable race, I give you this quote.

    There's always going to be some derp asking for Dwarves, so, it'd never stop.

    Of course, and there are sound facts behind it ^^

    Lilmothiit are extinct, or so close to extinct that nobody has seen them since the Knahaten Flu incident.

    How likely is ZOS (Bethesda) to break this lore fact? I think the chance is like 0,00000000001%

    And how likely is it for ZOS to implement a new playable race based on an extict tribe? ^-^

    None.


    Unfortunately, ZOS doesn't seem to care too much about breaking the lore.
    With cold regards,

    Guys I made this thread a full year ago. The Necroposter REALLY had to dig for this.

    And frankly I'm way to tired to try and explain/justify this ALL OVER AGAIN. So let's just say your assumptions about this being a playable Race request is completely wrong and just let it die again kay?
