godagarah5000

this needs to happen

godagarah5000

and make it so those daedra can be infected with vampirism and lycanthropy

I'll admit, I got a good laugh out of this.

ye knowing zos they might not add this hope they do but not sure if they will

Daedra will never be a playable Race. If there ever were one, it would be a known Tamrielic one like Reachman or a teeny more exotic, Maormer.

Yes. To me, adding Daedra is what I’d expect to see when they are at the “screw this, we’re closing in a year, let’s see what happens if we put playable Daedra in the crown store!” stage.

Daedric races -really- don't fit into the game setup. Not. At. All.

I mean, yeah, it -would- be cool to have some TES game where you start in oblivion as Dremora, Xivkyn, Mazken, Spiderkith, Skaafin or whatever... serve some daedric prince, quest against a threat for all oblivion, venture forth on mundus fight all manner of threats and challegne "adventurer parties" as bossfights...
...but that is not ESO.

In this game, with that story... no way. All the guards would kill a daedric character on sight, no vendor would do business with a daedric character, none of the quest givers would ever trust a deadric character to actually help them... daedra are the friggin -DEMONS- in TES lore! Noone wants them around without some sorceror to hold their leash... heck, in some places, it would even be technically illegal to do that (Auridion, remember the conclusion of the "village of statues" quest? Pay attention to the dialouge for once...) and in many other places its daedra who are behins all the troubles...

...and those would actually be the very best options for them to "test the waters", see if enough people might buy a new race to make it profitable. Possibly even goblins, they might be a tad borderline when it comes to being civilized, but... they are in the game, they do have their own crafting style, and are intelligent enough to have language and cast spells... its not impossible without shattering the lore to pieces. Unlike daedra.

Imga is the closest you could get.
Which totally could be done, the lore has them being around at this era, tho considering that they are supposed to be around valenwood... well... Tamriel hide and seek champions, huh?

If I don't get to play as a mantis shrimp, I'm not even interested in any new races.

Holycannoli

We have these original races and that's all we need

labambao

Make race only visuals with able to pick any t1 t2 t3 passives player want.
I am like to roleplay orc, but I can't roleplay good orc shaman in high end content, because it's just not good.

...you mean... just like we never needed more then the original crafting styles, or the original regions?
...
...I remain unconvinced!

NO!
Distinct racial flavors have -always- been a part of the elder scrolls series!
I would never want to see that change... and especially not in a scummy "Let us cherry-pick our passives" way!

If anything... they really could -add- some more passives to better play as you like, say... as orc shaman.

you do realise everything you just listed are simply daedra right?...and most of the things you listed are just titles and names not actual races...khajiit is a race...argonian is a race...id like to play different khajiit breeds....id like to see different argonian strains as playable races...maybe sea elves for the elves and for humans idk maybe different strains or backgrounds...that might split like
redguard and akaviri
nord and reachmen
dark elves and 1 of the 3 houses
high elves im not sure about anything else besides sea elves but im not 2 much into non khajiit lore
bosmer and idk...
Breton and wyrid?
...stuff like this...

GREAT - Now I won't be satisfied until I can play as a Mantis Shrimp. Thanks kitten.

We don't have any kind of Bosmer now. I think we should have actual Bosmer (the sneaky archer archetype that was prominent in Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and the 1st 5 years of ESO) before we bother with any Valenwood subraces.

Who cares about daedra when I can be a mighty Breton vampire 💪

...much like nords, redguards and imperials are all "simply humans" in TES lore?
Yeah, like that exactly!

Just like "elves" or "humans" have different breeds in TES setup, so do daedra, tho noone ever thought about what exactly the differences might be because they have never even been considered as playabvle race - demons, remember?
But... IF the developers ever make a TES game of that sort... they would be different in some ways. SOme of their kinds would be better at magic, others better at physical pursuits, some might have special powers to wield, others special traits to enjoy... whatever.

Like I said. It would be a very interesting game idea... (especially if they make it an "adults only" game to show all the juicy and violent bits daedra indulge in, from nasty stuff like torture and flaying people to other stuff more on the naughty side...) but it is not ESO, so at this point and on this forum, there is no sense at all talking about it.
