    yah would be cool if we get to see them ingame... but i doubt it

    We will eventually. ZOS avoided them like the plague at launch and then said "all the Imga are in Falinesti and Falinesti has vanished". But that means we might visit Falinesti at some point and then we would have to see the Imga. I doubt we will have them be a playable race though. A polymorph might be possible though.

    I can do without Imga as a playable race, but I desperately want to see Falinesti - the REAL Falinesti.... the way it is in lore.

    I had some toys back when i was a kid, that were a huge army of gorila like soldiers, i loved them so much... my sister unfurtunaly for some reason liked to chew on my toys, so my king ape lost a crown and a hand.
    I was really sad.
    I can imagine falinesti looking something like them.

    anyways imga probs looks like this.

    The way it is in lore? Yeah, no. They can't even get Bosmer like they are in lore, and that's dead easy (sneaky, occasionally cannibalistic, archers).
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    oh yeah imagine bosmers becoming invisible during combat and attacking you when you least expect, or being on top of trees and dropping down to sneak on you.

    If you are talking about passives, stealth passives aren't that important imo. maybe... a bit for pvp? maybe?

    One of the things I love most about Elder Scrolls is the flushed out lore of all the races (some are a bit excessive) but its very interesting.

    I like Bretons cause they were the magical man and at the time (Pre Skyrim) and the other magical races were just damn ugly back then.

    However, I do have a major soft spot for Argonians!

    Or how Valenwood is supposed to be a jungle/forest at its most primal with tree crowns that blocks out the sun etc. What do we have? Some sparse tall trees with tiny crowns and barely any foliage or undergrowth.

    I like my half-elves. In fantasy in general.

    Elves are too pretentious and distant, and humans are too mundane. Half elves are someone I can feel some kinship and connection to through their human side, but they also have this splash of magic and mysticism that makes them more fantastical and fun.

    Even if there's a new race someday (but consider: if it's not extant in the later games, then some lore has to be developed to account for WHY it isn't there....) it's not likely to be something that's not human/mer sized - because there's the whole issue of clothing, armor, how to size stuff for sitting, what to do about mounts.... and lots more....

    Sea Elves and Snow Elves would be easy picks for races that exist but are currently unplayable. Probably a few more too but those are the first to pop into my head.

    The Bretons.
    I've played a Breton in every TES game, and I just love the concept of them being the only true "hybrid" styled race, stuck in the middle of the conflict of man vs mer. I also love their more medieval style architecture, which also stands out against the other types of styles across TES Universe. I just can't wait to dive into their deeper lore in High Isle, maybe even a deep dive into the Direnni, Nedic origins and possible secrets within.

    I went for Argonians.Just biologically, they are incredibly interesting, rivaled only by the Khajit. Culturally they have a variety of beliefs depending on their location, but also a commonality in that they are connected to the Hist. Yet even so, we've seen that Argonians don't necessarily need the Hist in Ja-Heet, but have developed an ostensibly symbiotic relationship with the Hist.

    For the Argonians, it always circles back to the Hist, but even with this being the dominant trait of their culture, you have Argonian traders, merchants, craftsmen, warriors, scholars, and those who pursue any and all other ways of life. Sure, the Argonians don't have the same sophisticated political systems.....in the fringes of their territory but their core homeland is so deeply protected that none have ever really been able to venture deep into the Marsh that aren't Argonians. And of course, once the Argonians were able to come together they become a fearsome force to contend with militarily, once they are roused. And we know that the Argonians once had very complex cities and political systems, but have allowed these to largely decay and fall by the wayside, paralleling the Mayan collapse, yet like the Maya people who live and thrive today, the Argonians continue onwards and persevere

    My main character is Khajiit. I played a Khajiit in Oblivion and Skyrim.

    Human-looking races are not as interesting as other races. If I have options I choose something that is not human. I like cats in general, too.

    I’d play an Argonian too but I don’t want to be a tank.
