    Akaviri and Nords are not even remotely the same. I would love the Naga features as just normal options for Argonians. Why make them a different race? On the matter of Chimer I would say no when you have individuals like St. Veloth and Almsivi even being changed by the curse of Azura, why should some time traveler get off scot-free? Ayleids intermarried with humans and the Bosmer. You will see Ayleid ancestry among Bretons and Bosmer predominately, but to a lesser extent in Altmer and Imperial backgrounds. On the matter of Dwemer I say no. I love the Dwemer. I would love to see a TES game that actually has the Dwemer marching around doing their Dwemer-thing. All of that said I think context matters. In this game the only Dwemer we should ever even remotely have a chance of possibly seeing would be a ghost, Yagram Bagarn, or in some time travelling vision quest to the past. This race is gone for now at least and possibly forever.

    I do believe that Lilmothiit, the Imga (gorilla-people of Grahtwood), the silver-skinned human savages known as the Kothringi (from Argonia) and the Maormer certainly -could- be possible options in my view but they do press a certain level of strange for the series. I could definitely accept the argument though that all the magical mounts and weird pets floating around are far stranger than a few silver humans or Gorilla people running around.

    I would pay zero dollars. This sounds like a money grab and you missed the option for not buying anything. I purchased the Imperial edition and regret it

    I have 3 imperials, they are a great addition to my character portfolio. And yes, Shaiel, this is a money making suggestion for ZOS. I didnt put a 0 option for a reason.

    Because you knew the 0 option would get the most votes.

    Its got my vote, for sure.

    Precisely. My vote too.

Anyway, if they showed up in the store I'd never buy them - so if everyone else thinks the extinct races (plus the naga) would be cool in the store, works for me.

    The thread title makes a suggestion. There's no option to reject the suggestion, which would be a perfectly valid option, and so the title is misleading and the poll biased.

    If you had left a "Nothing" option, people would be less inclined to comment instead, therefore avoiding the discussion you apparently didn't want to have in the first place.

    This has literally become one the worst threads yet.

    And yes, time travel is lazy writing, plus somebody forgot that the psijics focus around sealing time breaches amongst many other activities revolving around the old ways, to have an extinct or near extinct race arrive from a time breach or pulled from their current timeline could evidentially lead to something worse than a “Dragonbreak.” (Like tearing open a rift in the fabric of space and time and destroying the very fabric of reality to the point of eternal nothingness.)

    And to those who didn’t vote, good on you. Because one thing to remember: “agree to disagree.” (that is why this poll has no meaning.)
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    I'd pay for a lore friendly race.

    The Dwemer, Chimer, and Ayleids are not lore friendly as player character races.

    And no, I don't support disregarding the lore in order to make money off the crown store, regarldess of what is or,isn't in crown crates.

    So if ZOS wants my money, keep the offerings lore friendly.

    As it happens, I spend quite a fair amount of money on the store. But I wouldn't buy races like you've suggested.

    I'm not sure it's a good idea. There's a tendency for paid races and classes (Imperial and Warden) to be either nerfed later (red diamond) or being left out in many departments (magicka warden DPS). Who knows, maybe ZOS is overly careful not to be accused in pay-to-win tactics.

    But then again, who needs a new race when there's Welkynar motif that automatically gives +100% to awesomeness, makes every class viable and enables wearer to understand pigeon language. (And if you're not viable in latest trials, not to worry, it's available from store for just 5999.99cr. Oops, I think I gave them an idea for major development focus over next months - fractional crown values, for those wonderful Apple-like prices that make marketing people happy.)

    Which is why I am not wanting new passives, just different combinations or templates of existing ones. This is purely to give MIN/MAXers other options and new flavor to the game.

    This is def not any form of P2W

    Duhhh because you didn't put it as an option, that way the ONLY votes you get are people willing to pay for this crap. Biased poll.

    There should be an option where people are able to vote against it or else the data you're collecting is skewed from the get-go. Pointless waste of time. Funny most comments say no anyway, despite you making this not an option in the poll. Seems your idea isn't well received thusfar.

    Right and one of the most important things when selling something is to figure out if people actually want it. By cutting out the people who wouldn't buy this one specific you are ruining your own data... it's sad. By biasing the poll you're blatantly hiding the reality that most people don't want this.

    I've probably spent more on the crown store than your average joe by a longshot, still think this idea is awful. I saw you pull this earlier in the thread too - suggesting people don't spend money - well we do - but what you're suggesting they sell is trash.

    This is def not any form of P2W

    I frankly would rather move all passives into external packages not tied to race at all; that would remove the conflict between race a player associates themselves with and natural desire to be able to rise to the top, even just potentially. I'm frankly tired of having to heavy attack (or gimp myself for 300 weapon damage) because I'm not a redguard. I wouldn't judge people who enjoy the feeling of being born inferior for having tail and claws, by all means, but I'd rather keep it to the lore and out of game mechanics.
