Give every character access to every racial passive?

markt84✭✭✭Unless they give racial changes in the crown store soon, what other ideas do you have?
Here are two options for you:-
1. Leave things as they are.
2. Give ZOS the necessary feedback for them to make changes to the way the different races' passives balance out.
If there is a balancing issue then it should be addressed by ZOS as a normal part of their fine-tuning, and not imposed as a Crown Store purchase. However, if such changes are only required for PvP then they should not be implemented in such a way as to impact negatively on PvE.
Personally, I don't have any problems with the racial passives and I'd leave them as they are. I certainly wouldn't support the OP's suggestion, it's a horrid idea that totally changes the whole structure of character development.
Option 1...doesn't work as does not solve the issue
Option 2...doesn't matter if they balance passives or not, people still want the option to change race...
1 there is no issue that needs solved
2 you can change race already, start a new character4 -

As others have said, opening them up would make them no longer racial passives.I wouldn't mind if we could choose between a couple of racial passives that are restricted to the race, but opening up all passives for all races isn't a good idea, regardless of how much I'd like the idea to abuse the best passives.
Might as well just get rid of the passives altogether in that case. We already have CP.

Good point, there is nothing a bunch of champion points can't make up for0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Why not just give all characters access to all racial passives but on an attribute system with limited points.
Then everyone would have access to which ever passives they like, balance is the same and what you pick for your race would be purely based on lore and cosmetics?
Then you could always reset your racial attributes / passives and try new ones whenever you like. It would also remove the whole Imperial is the best pay2win argument as well.
Just an idea.
I suggest keeping up to date with information the developers provide. It will come, eventually, that we will be able to change our passives to which ever race we want but can only change the whole lot, not just pick and choose.
Besides that the difference is marginal. Skill trumps all.0 -

rb2001✭✭✭✭This idea is beyond ridiculous.
When I play an Imperial magicka user, I accept the fact that it will be more challenging for me to match the feats of an Altmer, to whom magicka comes naturally, as a divine gift.
I accept that, and I find enjoyment in not being a cookie cutter character. I have other tricks in my bag. I find ways, like a real human, to work with what I've got and what I don't have.
I don't expect to ever play basketball like Kobe Bryant. I never will. I never can. I don't have the talent, the body, or the dedication. I don't go thinking I should be able to match him. I work with what I have and who I am, and find joy in that.
If you remove racial passives from races, you've massively dumbed down what little choice and incentive there is to apply thinking when designing your character, build and playstyle there currently is.
Why does everyone in this new gamer generation want to dumb down everything?Edited by rb2001 on August 4, 2015 7:55PM2
