Yes, not a single question remotely about performance in the survey ^^'

There was one question about it, but I think it was conditional on selected you "might" or "probably would" not be playing the game in 30 days. The option was something like 'technical issues (lag, disconnects, bugs)'

I did check the "other" box to fill in bad Cyrodiil performance, though. (If they manage to fix Cyrodiil performance, it should be fixed everywhere else, too.)

All I want is to pick a racial skill line and call it adventurer passives I like playing a Breton assassin and that’s never changing

Archmadios

Who wouldn’t want a Sload necromancer or Tsaesci Vampire

There is no more spectacular of a way for ESO to light the lore of the Elder Scrolls franchise on fire than to add something ridiculous, such as the Sload, in as a playable race.

I think that basically the only race that would even remotely make sense would be the Maomer. They already have a small canon of lore and we have seen them interacting in a civilized (albeit extremely warlike) fashion with some of the main races of Tamriel in ESO.

But it would still be quite odd to integrate them into Tamriel-based storyline since they are, you know, not even from Tamriel to begin with. And not like "not from Tamriel" like the Redguards, but rather in the sense that they didn't arise on Tamriel or ever even live on Tamriel, let alone interact with races other than the High Elves and Khajiit. A Nord or Argonian encountering a Maomer would literally be like "What even IS this?!"

In short, Maomer or bust.

I doubt that, if we get a new race, it would be one that doesn't share a body type with the current races we already have. If that were the case they'd have to redo all current gear, outfit and costume sets and then put extra work into all future visuals for those sets.

Not that it wouldn't be cool to get a new race.

Sadly your probably right. Imagine though if they did add Argonian Behemoth's as an actual player race lol. That would be the most cool and original thing an Elder Scrolls game did since Morrowind.

Snowstrider

I dont think it would make much sense if rare races few have heard off and who is rarely seen outside their province would suddenly be everywhere in Tamriel.. But i would love to see more races such as the Imgas who basically almost is a blank slate zos could do much for.
Well we only have whats written in the pocket guide to the empire, Razum-Dars encounter with a female imga lich necromancer and the prophet Marukh who is said to be a Imga, Loremaster Schick saying that the Imga dissapeared alongside the walking Falenasti tree city to wait out the planemeld.

Tamriel is not the only continent in TES. There are non-tamriel races too.

Because they're always working on improving performance. That's a given.

Snowstrider

If there ever is a ESO 2 i would want it to be set in the merethic or the first era when the ayleid, chimer and dwemer where around

SydneyGrey

Would be great to have Maormer or Reachmen as playable races, with their own unique passives and strengths.
They missed the opportunity with Murkmire to make the Naga a playable race. Dang shame, that.

Mettaricana

If they wanted to not only add the races sub types below they could for balance sake copy racials from existing races to keep it somewhat fair. Maybe outright eliminate any race any alliance *refund crowns worth gasps* or make them not faction locked like imperial.

Naga (could copy redguard or maybe khajiit basic for a high stam or hybrid assailant)

Pumat rhat (copy orc passives they big and stronk cats)

Tojay (copy bosmer for the smol and energetic)

Sea elves(copy breton or dark elves for that magicka alternative)

Akaviri(some kinda stamina human parody as the race seems to reflect the oriental Japanese of the world maybe a slightly more asian looking imperial)

Ohmes khajiit(just a appearance variant of khajiit just more elf like)

Doubtful additions
Dremora(kinda lore breaky/villain)
Goblin (kinda barely intelligible)
Dwemer(duh they poofed for good)

I got an e-mail survey, and playable races were one of the options for content I would like to see in future chapters.



I, of course, checked it as one of my three.

You mean there's finally a remote possibility the devs are actually CONSIDERING THE AKAVARI CONTINENT and all of it's non humanoid denizens???

I'll believe it when I see it. If they're genuinely serious about pursing this feature, it wouldn't shock me if we ended up with a race of half human half Indrik satyrs. Or a hostile race of Argonian Gryphon people which hiss at you as they fly by overhead.

Based on the non lore exotic mounts in the store to date, what the devs could potentially come up with in terms of new NPC races is truly terrifying TBH.....

Alfiq, Alfiq, Alfiq, Alfiq, ALFIQ, ALFIQ, ALFIQ!!!! Also:

• Housing update
• Justice update
• Optional Overland difficulty update

Why didn't they list more things. :'(

peacenote

If I want group queuing for BG's is that a "new way to PvP?" Where's the choice for "Restore missing functionality?"

I'm bummed, it does not look like I got the survey.

Thevampirenight

Well, other fur stocks of khajiit would be nice.
But I do think if any race is to be taken under consideration then Maormer should be first pick. From what we see there it might be a little more common to see them in certain ports and areas in the game.
I think they would be a popular choice as well.
I doubt we will ever see them unless Bethesda does something with them but Tsaesci would be another good race they could do potentially.

Maormer race.
More Khajiiti Fur Stocks.

I'd just like to get one of these emails someday! And yes, I have my emails set to accept all the stuff....

As much as I would LOVE Alfiq race playable, I highly doubt they'd add anything that wasn't bipedal like all the other races. As that would require an enormous amount of work on their part.

McMasterx

Not gonna lie, Options: 1, 3, 4, and 7 read like Filler. Of course they're gonna add more Quests, Areas, Skill lines, and Trials/Dungeons. It feels like they want you to pick between the remaining 4 choices. I can't possibly imagine what would need to happen for them to have a Chapter take place inside Preexisting content (base game [probably])

Nanfoodle

Didnt get this email =-\ Why everyone didnt get one is a wonder too me.

StormeReigns

WOOO! One step closer to my dream of having Argonian + Harpy hybrid!

No, no, and a hard maybe.

I guess I did not spend enough in the crown store to qualify for that survey.

Playing since beta lol

Chaos2088

New races and Sub-races would be awesome!

xaraan

Maybe they will add racial morphs lol, let you go from argonian to naga and whatever, or khajiit to different sub-species, or Altmer to Moarmer, Orc to Pig, etc.

They’re hiding with other games :'(

I would like to see a new race tbh. Like how they introduced the imperial so very long ago....

Yes, this would be great.

Actually, the current 'Bosmer' have passives that are far more suited to Khajiit. The roll dodge shenanigans and fall damage reduction are acrobatic skills -- acrobatics was the primary skill of Khajiit in Oblivion and Morrowind; Khajiit are THE best at acrobatics in those games.

So, we already have Ohmes. They're just called 'Bosmer' at the moment.

What we need is the actual sneaky-archer-best-at-thievery Bosmer which we've had in every other game.
