Is it time for new eso race?

erlewine · June 2019

racial skills are always a mistake. just let people play what they want and have one primary largely useless racial like the bonus exp ones, then pick which race skills they want from there. would solve the problems of everyone being the same race, and not being able to more races, and it would even sell more crown race change things.

i mean just think of all the khajiit race changes

How about ESO 2?

Nah. I think people are so used to the ten races (I am), any new addition would feel... off. Unfitting. Squeezed in. And that just for a racial? Which will be boring to be in line with the other races? Nah. Give us classes instead!

What class would stick with lore and still work

Any, really. Classes as such are more of a product of their time. Very apparent with the schools of magic that fluctuate constantly. First brief thoughts that come to mind... We don't have a true spellsword. Sword and magic (rune). A vampire lord class. An alterationalist, influencing space and time. A dedicated crossbow user, maybe with increased evasion abilities. The Elder Scrolls universe really gives you a lot of material to work with.

Skill lines are much more preferable to class lines in my view.

I'd play it, if they started out with a better engine and servers that could handle everything. And more housing item slots.

Ixilith · June 2019

I want new weapons and some reworks on the current classes next expansion.

I don’t think they will do it tho as lots would consider it p2w as it’d effect the base classes lol

You know what would be awesome? If we had Wood elves as a playable race. Since right now, we don't.

Yeah they should add Bosmer to the game. Could be interesting having a humanoid stealth race. Maybe more people would play around with the stealth mechanic.

I have asked this question myself before.

Flamingos

RPGplayer13579 · June 2019

So what would be their stories be?

Maormer, distrusted by everyone when they first meet you. And any other Maormer you meet calls you a traitor.

Dremora, which Daedric Prince do you serve if any, and do the guards attack you on sight?

Guess its the crown crate pet bug.
And playing as an Alfiq would work like that as they have the same body as the Raz pet.

I would go for other Khajiit furstocks, Ohmes-raht would be easy, same with the two seen in Elsweyr.
Naga Argonians as seen in Murkmire.
All uses existing models, yes they probably have to adjust a bit also adjust hairs and helmets.

You know, for some reason I always wanted to play an Alfiq dragonborn in Skyrim.

"It's you! The legendary dragonborn! The hero that's going to save us all from the dragons!"

*begin cleaning regimen*

".......We're doomed."

Greystag · June 2019

Most likely (IMO): Maormer

What I'd like to see: Lilmothiit. We know they likely aren't extinct and they fled to the north of Murkmire. Their population is probably too small to make a player race make sense, but let a man dream.

Another option: Khajiiti furstocks. Just tweak the khajiit sliders so it allows more diversity. Or add some sort of system where you select your furstock and then go to the character creation screen. I'd like to see Ohmes, Dagi, Suthay and Cathay-raht. The Pahmar we see in Elsweyr are probably too big and wouldn't fit through most doorways in the game (which are designed with a normal height in mind).

Too cute! Shame you xan't actually play the game that way.

Nilarynpaw · June 2019

There are very few "New" playable races I could imagine.

Maybe maormer and ohmes / ohmes-raht, but these would be rather subraces. If we could go back to skyrim, then snow elves, but I'm not sure that any of these could be introduced properly without messing up with the lore.

Xogath · June 2019

No.

It's time for developers to finally address the abhorrent performance of this game.

Server latency aside, we were told that ultimately we'd be playing with a DX12 API at some point.. but that was all that was said.

Honestly, I wish folks would care as much about the performance of the game as they do PvP.. things would definitely get done then.

Tigerseye · June 2019

I would prefer a few tweaks to the existing races.

I would like to play a slightly sleek Khajiit (as I think they are cuter), but if you put the slider on the female Khajiits (or, in fact, on any race) up a bit, you just end up with a big-butted character.

Even if you made your char to be anything but big-butted.

What kind of cat ever becomes pear shaped, when they gain a couple of pounds?

It's bad enough that all the other races' females become pear-shaped, if they aren't set at slim, or below (even if you didn't make them that shape, to begin with), without adding cats and lizards to that bizarre situation.

Fermian · June 2019

Would love to get an update of the current race designs. As it is now they all have the same body shapes.

RavenSworn · June 2019

New races? Has to be Canon hasn't it.

Tcsaeci. That's about it. A race of snake people that has a rich history already? Fantastic.

Maormer is nice but I feel its much more a sub race, like the colour of the altmer skin when u are at your character creation.

Thrawniel · June 2019

Sea Elves would be #1 on 'new race wishlist' for me. Close second would be Tsaesci, but only if they are actual sneople and not just another humans with metaphorical origin.

Playing as alfiq would be very fun too))

JamuThatsWho · June 2019

I would say no. The series has set a precedent of having 10 playable civilised races.

Baring Maomer, Khajiit furstock, and Argonian variations, I don't think there are any others that would fit.

I add humanoid anthropomorphic lizards to the list. Would be cool if we had lizard-man playable race.

TumlinTheJolly · June 2019

Maormer!!!!!!

ryzen_gamer_gal · June 2019

Snow Elves

Goblins

Reikling

Giants

Half Giants

WereCats

WereBears

Sload!

The prblem with using the maomer is that they arent really a race, they are just outcast of the highelves and in game it is stated that they have no magicka that the others races dont already have.

Snow Elves for the win

ryzen_gamer_gal · June 2019

Dremora?

MajBludd · June 2019

If they aren't from akavir, how different would those races really be from what we currently have?
Give me more weapons over more races.

ryzen_gamer_gal · June 2019

i would guess that all life on tamriel originates from akavir

Sload are very different

ryzen_gamer_gal · June 2019

How about something we have seen NONE of in eso. Some Aedra

Bigevilpeter · June 2019

Deadra, i want to be an evil follower of molag bal

JamuThatsWho · June 2019

Technically, you could play as a goblin or dremora using quest disguises and polymorphs.
