    Would love to play it, but I don't think its possible due to it not being lorefriendly. Snow Elves are long gone, only falmers now, if they were to implement snow elves, it would mess up the whole lore

    I'm far from being a lore master, but I'm pretty sure the Snow Elves are long extinct, like @Mr_Apollo just said. It would be cool, but it will have to be in a future game, where take take us back even further in the timeline. And given all the frustration from the lore geeks that this games created, because they included things to make the story interesting that wasn't in the canon, I don't think we will se such a game anytime soon.

    Whilst it is obviously possible that a few did survive (there is one in Skyrim, I believe?) I am not sure that we need another playable race right now. Especially one of the more obscure ones like Snow Elves or Imga (ALTHOUGH Imga were in a very very early build of the game, as found out through datamining.)

    Perhaps, they could be neutrals, they could be part of a future DLC with a different storyline, they COULD work like Imperials who can use any alliance. Its not that hard

    Sure you can DPS on a Breton, but Alter/Dunmer are better. I am saying that it would be nice to be able to do max DPS on something other than an Elf.

    It's not that I wouldn't want to play as one, but more that they are not supposed to be up and about during this time period.

    The few remaining ones are in hiding.

    Now, how about Maormer instead?
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    If you want to add new playable races, I'd say Maormer or Reachmen would be way more reasonable than trying to add snow elves.

    They use the same model as the Altmer and the Ayleid in this game, yes. But there are tons of them, so it would make more sense to be able to play as them. They wouldn't have the same racials as the Altmer, and they would be a race without an alliance like Imperials since they are filthy pirates.

    Maybe ZOS could change their model slightly so that they wouldn't look so much like Altmer.

    There effectively aren't any snow elves that haven't been transformed into the degenerate falmer version that we're familiar with from Skyrim. There are a couple that are still untransformed, but that can't justify them as a playable race for a whole load of reasons. Even encountering one or two snow elf NPCs in this time period would be on the verge of lore-breaking.

    I guess the "Lore Protectors" here will call it an outrage, but I like the idea. I would prefer a magicka class with bonuses to cold damage and resistance.

    ..and if your snowelf magicka build reaches lvl 50 a full Winterborn set + Icehart + sharpened Frost Mahlstrom staff should pop up in your inventory.
