New Class/race : why not a Daedra ?

boi_anachronism_ · November 2022

Lore wise this couldn't really make sense though since daedra don't actually have souls at all so the whole main quest line would be a bit wonky.

Only new class I'm interested in getting is a battlemage. A 1 hand & magic user hopefully using alteration, destruction & illusion magic in their skills. Alteration would work for tanking or healing & buff/debuff. Illusion would be great for cc & also buffs/debuffs or even damage. Destruction obviously mainly for damage

That is nothing like the current class mechanics though. You don't have a sword in one and a spell in the other. You can only use one at a time.

One exception, and it is case dependent - for Sorcerer, when Crystal Fragments Procs off a crit, if you hit it, you fire it with one hand off your left arm.... and if you are doing a light attack at the same time, it actually does work.

I play a stamina sorc, and use that as a proc on the side, as it also gives a small heal with a sudden blast of damage......

When creating the character we could choose which prince deadra we appear or want to pledge allegiance to, this will modify certain attacks or the animation of the ultimate for example.

Me who am RP Orc, I imagine an ultimate with Malacath who gives us Volendrung, or who comes to make a big attack ect

Others have already mentioned it but, I'll add to it.
I love your concept. This is something that piques my interest.

Worship as a selectable thing that helps modify a playing experience.

Buffs or debuffs could occur similarly to Vampirism. Only instead of leveling up through biting, you could level up from completing 'acts of faith.' (Acts could change dependent on the Object of Worship.)

Just the other day I was sitting in Murkmire, under a Hist, with no option to do anything involving the Hist - from a religious point of view. I held a private naming ceremony for one of my lizards which consisted of praying to Sithis shrines, and praying in front of a hist.

For the longest time one of my Woodelf characters was running around with like... 15 devotional cards to Sanguine in their inventory. (& would occasionally just hang out in Sanguine's Demesne down in Shadowfen for a few mins.)

Daggerfall had something like it - pledging to a temple, or knight's order gave some bonuses, and enhanced some skills --- imagine orders or guilds, like the psijic order, or antiquities, with a set of passives that mod, or add damage -- knighthoods, orders of warriors, or even schools of combat... all of that does fit the lore.

I don’t think deadra would work. Some locations like Craglorn have deadric vendors, so it would be fine. But Summerset is VERY anti-deadra and there it would not make any sense.

Personally I don’t think they should add another race until they get the base 10 straight. Right now some of them, like the bosmer, seem very different from the stand alone games, and I would like them to fix those before expanding the race choices.

I am also worried that adding a new race would “break the lore” of the stand alone es games, as they come after the time that eso is set in. There would have to be an explanation about why those races are not present in those “later” games.

However, if at some time they actually get their act together and actually do the base 10 races right, I think the Maomer is the best bet as a new race.

We already have that - Arena and Daggerfall are set after ESO, and orcs are primitive and violent --- and Arena also has goblins, so they can't be claimed as being a mis-identification. I want to know what cataclysm so decimates the orcs that they are knocked backed to primitive status, while Betony becomes a Breton Isle, again......

I choose maomer as new race first
New class, i dont have the imagination think of sonething cool as far as a class, but i think the idea of a bard as a class is dumb. Whats a bard going to do?… whip out a fife and make me dance to the music like the pied-piper rolled in chainmail or something?

Because theres Maormer

I'm not sure how you would be able to do any quests since mortals either run in fear of a daedra, kill daedra, or simply don't trust them. I think they would be even more unwelcomed than a pet sorc in a raid.

I'd be happy with playable daedra, provided it doesn't have large, flapping wings that get in everyone's faces.
