Which playable race do you want added?

ereboz

With 9 races to choose from, or 10 if you have the imperial edition, thats a lot of races even for an mmo. But which race is missing from the game you would love to play?

Shezzarrine

None of these besides Maormer or Reachmen would even be possible, and I don't even think Reachmen are their own race

Maormer

Actually Everquest had 16 races, Everquest 2 has 19 free (21 if you buy them from the marketplace) races, and WoW has 13 races, so 9 (or 10 with Imperial Edition) isn't really a lot if you think about all the varied ways to build a character in this game (mag/stam dps, mag/stam tank, mag/stam [why anyone would make a stam healer is beyond me] healer).

That being said, Maormer is really the most likely race we'd get to play as next (hopefully when they release the Summerset Isles).

Yes! Imga love! Most people don't even know they're a thing.

"Their ancestry is not solely Breton, but spreads across many of the known races of Tamriel." They're an even more mongrel race than their breton kin.

Reachmen are their own race, and every option I listed existed and was quite prominent during the second era. Which is when this game takes place. The Dwemer might be a bit of a stretch I just want to see them.

Please no more races. This would slap the lore right in the face.

Most these races are incompatible with lore

Maormer

In every TES game there has only been 10 playable races. I'd prefer they didn't add one, but that being said I would like to know more about the maormer

Dwemer

DWEMER FTW.

Impossible, but how cool would it be to have dwarves running around everywhere.

Preferably none of them. The Elder Scrolls series traditionally has had 10 playable races (at least since Morrowind, Imperial and Orc wasn’t playable before that game). I think by now everyone got used to those 10 races, and that’s enough. Also lore-wise it wouldn’t really make sense, regardless of whether they are around or not. Just imagine either of them taking part in the Alliance War.

According to the elder scrolls wiki, all of these races perfectly fit the lore. Except maybe dwemer. These races were all around during the second era which is ESO's timeline

I want to be able to play as a Puerto Rican female. My ex-wife was Puerto Rican, and not only was she sexy, but she could wreck [censored] too. Nothing more dangerous than an angry Puerto Rican female #RIPMolagBal

ZOS would probably nerf her to the ground though so never mind. I’m happy with my Altmer.

Maormer

I definitely woulkd like to make a tall, lanky maormer stormcaller with greenish hair and a big happy grin, wearing robes in purple, green and orange...
...and wonder who gets the joke?

That is not exactly true...


Sload... are for one not present on Tamriel at this era, for another may be unsuitable as player characters - they are supposed to be sluggish fat slug people, which may not be all that great for player characters (I always kinda think of jabba the hutt when I read about them...)


Imga would be somewhat possible... they are technically around in this era, though they seem for some reason absent from valenwood in ESO, likely hiding somewhere in a pocket dimenstiopn like that vanishing village in greenshade from Molag Bal and the soulburst troubles no doubt.

Akaviri are not one race but four. There is little lore if all of them were part of the akaviri invasion ten years before ESO - but lore does say there were survivors from that one, which eventually would make their way to Rimmen where they join up with some human akaviri descendants from earlier visits... and make a push into cyrodil somewhen between this time and the rise of Talos in three of so centuries... so all of them may be technically viable lore-wise... though since they ouight to be somewhat rare, it is a little questionable if they would be done (or at what price - adding a surcharge for extra-rarity would seem likely)

The Tsaesci snakepeople may be possible, depending on how they are envisioned... they -are- supposedly somewhere between argonians and lamias in body structure, so they -could- be done in a humanoid enough way to be viable for all equipment... or there could be two kinds of them, one more lamia.ish, the other more humanoid, thuis keeping both options open, with the humanoid available as player character race (since I doubt anyone would play a race that could not use leg and foot armor slots, yes?)

The Tang Mo monkey people of the thousand islands would seem entirely possible as palyer race. But they better also come with polearms to use staves in battle, hear!

The Ka Po'Tun tiger people may be a little close to Khajiit, but would seem entirely possible as well.

Little is known about the Kamal, except that they may have been the bulk of the recent invasion, and that they are rumored to freeze solid during winters (something that would make them a bit iffy when it comes to player characters and questing in eastmarch... however, noone can really say if that is not a mere rumor anyhow)


Maormer are entirely possible, they are around, they are in the game, they have their own crafting style... all it needs is cobbling together some passives (maybe altmer/dunmer-istic but with storm damage bonus?), and there we go.


Reachmen can or can not be their own race, that is up to the developers, the lore would support both them being just primitive bretons, or them being a slightly different race thanks to lots of interbreeding with other people in the distant past... but they are in the game, have their own crafting style and so... easy to do if the powers that be decide they want to.


Goblins - are technically possible. They are around, they are (barely) intelligent enough to talk, cast spells and craft stuff, so... they could technically be player characters. Thay are also a bit... unwanted... all across tamriel, due to generally being too promitive to follow the laws civilized people live by, and thus usually end up killed on sight or enslaved for "their own good", so it may be a little iffy... but then, we also can make bretons and wander through stonefalls during the DC invasion attempt without getting murdered by our pact allies, so an exceptional gobbo becoming a hero may perhaps not be too far-fetched.


Dwemer - nope.
They are long gone in this era, and they won't be coming back for as far as anyone knows.
Only way we will see them is in some "flashback" quest, like the nedes or chimer - which is entirely possible. But never as player characters without some serious lore breakage.

I'm not sure if either of those could be considered their own race. Atmoran maybe, dunno 'bout Skaal.

I want to play a Tsaesci. Or a Lamia. Love those snakey people and recently complained to a friend, why we are not able to play as one.
I'd even ***** on leg/boot wear (there could be possible tail waer, though, I'd like that xD) if I was just able to play that way.
