New race ? Should it be added ?

DeclassifiedGhost
I seriously think they should add a new race with this release.
What race do you want to see ?

    We'll have a good shot at seeing a couple races from akavir but they won't be playable.

    The Tsaesci from the period right before eso's timeline we're granted asylum in Rimmen which is a city in elsweyr and there may be leftover folks from the akaviri invasion of Morrowind but I don't think zos would be the first to introduce a new playable race to the elder scrolls universe. They'd probably let Bethesda lead on that in one of the single player titles.

    And adding a race really does not add to the game as the passive would likely be very similar to what we already have.

    It would be fun but I think it would've been datamined along with the rest if it was even a possibility. But if they did, I want fox-people. Someone mentioned in a thread I saw months ago that lorewise they might not be extinct yet. That would be nice. Another plain ol' human-looking or mer race would be kind of boring. I'd take lobster people at this point. Ooh, or playable dreugh... xD

  • DeclassifiedGhost
    Like Tbh any new races would be nice and I think should be added to give a different play styles or at least some kind of subspecies

    Well, if ZOS is officially going to call this next patch a "Dragonbreak"- technically, they could reintroduce Dwemer (dwarves), Lilmothiit (fox people), Kothringi (purplish/silver skinned men), and Falmer (snow elves).

    Other races could include: Maomer (sea elves), Imga (ape people), Ka Po'Tun (tiger people), Tang Mo (monkey people), Tsaesci (snake people), Reiklings, and Minotaurs.
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"

    @Siohwenoeht While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I'd like to mention that Bethesda has added 2 new races in the single player titles: Imperial and Orc, which were not playable until TES III: Morrowind.

    I wouldn't be opposed to a new playable race as long as they were well supported by lore. Maormer seem like a good candidate in that regard.

    10 Sets of passives has proven to be difficult enough to balance. We already have a couple of races that DESPERATELY need some passives love. I doubt they will add to that pain point very soon.

    That being said - my vote is for Minotaur!

    No more races, please. We have all the bases covered lore-wise. The other ‘lore-friendly’ options are too rare, too hated, or too foreign to make sense as a playable race in Tamriel.

    No. Becuase then it becomes a gimmick.
    Look at WoW, they add races in one expansion now it's expected they add some with every other expansion.

    No More Races

    The Lilmothiit were nearly eradicated by the Thrassian plague. Wouldnt make any sense to suddenly see them all over the place.

    Minotaur would be perfect for a polymorph. They can't equip normal armor, so adding them as a player race won't work properly.

    Tsaesci would make the most sense, but I'm not keen on new races at all.

    A Dragon Break would allow them to add a bunch of stuff without being committed to keeping them in future ES games. Limothiit, Kothringi, other Nede tribes, Ayleids, even the Bird-People of Rumare in Jungle-Cyrodiil...

    Even without Dragon Breaks, they can add Maormer, Imgas, Goblins, Riekr and some Akaviri stuff.

    That's like saying adding new hair or costumes don't add anything to the game. They do for people who care about how their character looks, who get tired of playing the same races and classes all the time. Some of us DO care about aesthetics.
    And they can make the passives very different from what we have currently.

    they should add the opportunity to play a dragon...

    no, not a dragonknight, but, an actual dragon...

    and, it should only be playable by me...yeah, that seems fair...

    I probably wouldn't use a new race as my favourite one is already in the game. I wouldn't make a fuss about them adding one though.
