Minotaur as a playable race?

What is everyone's thoughts on this?

I'm not sure how it would fit into lore but I think running in as a minotaur tank would be awesome.

    You'd always have that one minotaur player with a pink egg-sister outfit and jester hat.

    It's unlikely to happen.

    I think ZOS is pretty keen to stick to the core 10 races, and should they ever expand on that I would imagine they would head to things like the other Mer first.

    Pretty much this. I just do not see it happening.

    Would be cool. But it is unlikely to happen.
    If we will ever get new playable race it will most likely be one of the sub-race, like different types of Khajiits or Argonians. We have allready seen "naga" Argonians (that looked more like tes III or tes IV Argonians). But the point is - assets are allready in game.

    The amount of work required to adapt every possible item model to an almost entirely new charakter model makes this extremely unlikely.

    They can try it make it like werewolf so you transform into a werecow, so there is no need to adapt any item to it cause you will be wearing a default werecow outfit and using a default werecow skill set and I just notices that the autocorrect is not trying to fix the word werecow.

    Is not going to happen.

    They certainly are not gonna have a player race that clips through half the doorways...

    ...which are not -quite- as "core" as people would have us believe... after all, the whole series started with eight, before orcs and imperials became playable with TES-III:Morrowind; even had only six in TES:battlespire, and started ESO with nine-plus-one... so there is nothing keeping them from someday making it nine-plus-two, nine-plus-three...
    ...however, there are -tons- of races more possible then those like minotaurs that are iffy size- or body-structure-wise...

    wont happen imo, it'll be pain in the arse for ZoS to make every single armor usable for them, especially with the horn and big head

    but if other "humanoid" race like maormer that physically no different than other races, have a chance to happen, but still i think it wont happen since it'll be breaking the lore itself

    Re-doing all the armour/clothing meshes to fit the minotaur? Adding collision and animations so that they duck going through doors instead of clipping. Probably a bunch of other things. That's a lot of work, not to mention cunningly close to having a Tauren style race in the game.

    I can't see it happening.

    No. This isn't world of warcraft with its stupid bovine race. ESO is better than that trash game.

    If it would happen, I would clean and iron my white wedding dress for Cyro runs.
