Should Globin be playble race in ESO ?

lelink88

I've read some lore about globin and I feel quite interesting about this race. They have civilization, not advance, but good enought to learn magic, they have tribal with shaman, warrior like other race. They not really hostile race, as we can see in Fungal grotol I, player even can mae alliance with them. They have a purpose on thier life is to find a homeland for thier poor race. I know that we can tranform to globin by doing a quest but I want to roll plating a real 1. What do you folk think about that ?

Maybe a future chapter can add Goblin, Maomer and Dremora as playable races, but each is unavaliable to a particular alliance unless you got the any race any alliance upgrade. Maomer can't be AD, Goblin can't be EP and Dremora can't be DC.

Yes

Hemoglobin, specifically.

Starlock

No

Think about the lore for a moment.

Then think about running a goblin character through all the quests that exist in ESO.

One might as well run an intelligent, talking spider through all the quests. Or perhaps a frost atronach. Maybe a squirrel? It'd make about as much sense.

Would be fun for a mod, but we can't mod this game.

Ack -- beat me to it!!!

That said, I hate goblin characters in general.

Eberron goblins are an exception, but they're nothing like the archetype found in rest of D&D, or in ESO.

No

Globins?

I would love a new race that isn't a dang elf or human, so yes! I'm all for this.

Isn't there an item that makes you look like a goblin in the game. Think it was from one of the Daggerfall starter quests on their starter island.

Shadowsilk Gem disguise from Stonefalls, actually.

I think it is possible even to add dremora or other Molag Bal's daedra, but only if the game starts in Coldharbour. How? Just like High Kinlord Rilis (Banished cells II dungeon) got xivilai body. Let's imagine that Mannimarco kills us and traps our soul as he should, but then something goes wrong and we get the daedric body instead of copy of ours.

ES has lots of races it could make playable. I want to see Maoromer, Snow Elves not the falmer oens from Skyrim but the actual elves, reach men, half giants, naga argonian, dremora, and goblins should all be playable. I'm kind of bored with the current selection.

The snow elves are gone already, impossible. Maoromer are quite literally hateful against all races on Tamriel. Reach Men are essentially wild-nords (And have no reason to do anything not involving The Reach. Half Giants are ultra rare, seeing as Lyris is the only one we see. Naga also hate quite literally everyone. Dremora have literally no reason to assist us. Goblins are also too stupid to comprehend most quest dialogues.

If you're bored with the current selection, I would suggest finding another fantasy game to be a part of. These current races have been the only playable races in ES for 10+ years. That isn't going to change anytime soon.

WoW and FFXIV are just a couple other fantasy universes that consistently add in playable races if you're wanting to explore some options.

Personally something new is always good.....at least for the most part. I think it would be great to add some of the more darker/evil raced races. Heck who is to say that among the more evil races there isn't a good person among them. Anybody who has read Forgotten Realms will know of the dark elves and remember that Drizzt was a good person along with his father and they were born of one of the most evil races.

Besides adding these races doesn't hurt anything or anyone and only adds to the game and draws new/old players back. The nay sayers are majority the same people who are against anything new or changes for simple fact they are "negative nancies".

Only Templar Globins and they sing:

Put your left Globin
Put your left Globout
Put your left Globin
And shake it all about
Do the Pokey Pokey
And turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.

Why goblins? Give us Maormer.

Why not. If woodelf is playable.

I'd prefer Minotaurs first :B

It hurts the immersion and the internal logic of the game. When a race is established as universally reviled, extinct or labelled unintelligent by the general population and ruling class, then you can't really plop them into the already established quest chains.

A random farmer would not react to a goblin the same way he would to a Redguard and wouldn't ask for help from one.

Most likely race to be added would be Maormer as there are already established friendly encounters with them and they are similar enough to other elfs to not draw too much attention, but still would not expect them to be added anytime soon.

Better be careful what you say about Bosmer...

I came here looking for this comment specifically. You did not disappoint.

WeerW3ir

how could you guys forget myoglobin? we need that too as a subrace.

Not concern

Will wait for next PTS round... no further racial changes means that ZOS does not know how to balance racial passives and maybe even has some agenda against some other races. So far they literally buffed strongest races this (next) patch and nerfed weakest one to be even more weak, this time drastically weaker than the others.

So, no point in adding new races. Have you seen how new (paid) classes (Warden & Necro) are like compared to base game ones ? Those two are in S or S+ tier in every class tier list lol.

Expect the same "balance" with every new "paid" race.

The problem is not that an individual from an "evil" race might not be friendly (I don't even think that in the TES world there are humanoid races who are all completely evil - TES doesn't rely on this stereotyping), but how would the average citizen of Tamriel react if someone from an "evil" race approches him? Imagine there's suddenly a sload on your doorstep, or a goblin, or a lamia? I think it would only work with races that aren't too far away in their appearance from other, already common races. Maormer might be possible.

Ratzkifal

More cosmetics, sure. But please no actual new playable races. That would be a balancing mess and makes little sense in the lore with the available races.
If ESO was set in the first Era, then Kothringi, Minotaurs and Lilmothiit would have been cool as playable races, but then we would have to deal with magic not being taught to the public and actually being very rare and scary whenever we encounter it. That would also be cool, but it would be a very different experience from what we are used to from the Elder Scrolls.

Icy_Waffles

No

Nah. They are. Lesser. *laughs in any kind of elf*

On a serious note I think the gem is enough. As a playable race it doesn’t really fit to me for ES.

Nord_Raseri

Globin, the proteins that bind/transport oxygen? or Globen, a spherical object/race? Like pac-man?

Wolfpaw

Yes

Yes.

I want to see a lot more non human/elf races added.

Daemons_Bane

No

Would be a fun mod for a single player title.. this game was not made for it though.. it would not work.. the story has been written with the existing races, the ones we can use that is, in mind..

Nah the Maoromer have a few members in the dragonguard in southern elswyr. They can totally be not evil if they want too. Remember black marsh was always "completely uninhabitable" so it was a convenient excuse to not go there in games. Just like before Skyrim it was nothing but snow and mead and no one wanted to go there. It needs lore to be developed and added. All the things I listed can all easily be added as the lore supports them being there. Also I said Naga Argonians not Naga the snake people. Snow Elves I think could easily be alive all they would need to do is be hidden away deep in some underground dwemer city and trying to make a comeback and could be a threat/allies. There is no reason to content or race deny and even an official email poll from last year had an option for stuff people would love to see and a new race was an option.

I think the only race that should never be playable is the rare exceptions like Dwemer.

Edit
I also find it funny you say Dremora have no reason to help humans but in the Blackwood cinematic trailer there is Lyraneth helping mortals lol.
