It's still not a race as much as it is an affliction. Just like how vampires are not a race, nor are meridian purified, or werewolves.PC/NA Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS/Heal), Trialist (DPS/Tank/Heal), and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore- CP 2000+

✭✭✭What would be the benefit of playing as a mindless zombie? The poll options suggest that playable zombies would get some kind of bonus to a "weaponless"/"hand-to-hand" skill, unless the term "unarmed" in the first poll option means "armorless" like it does in previous TES games.
There's an existing thread here which suggests adding a zombie skill line in the World category, which might be a better implementation than adding it as an entire race. It might be worth looking through that thread for inspiration for this one, though.PC/NA — Lone Werewolf, the EP Templar Werewolf

Everything is a race nowadays. In Skyrim, even old people are a race:

✭✭✭✭✭um...Seems that if any race would be added, it would be Maomer. They are already in the game, and therefore would be easiest to add as a playable race. They also wouldn't have to make any changes to armor, weapons, etc... as far as clipping and such. Unlike other races where size or shape would force them to have to alter the gear design to fit them.CP: 2078 ** ESO+ 2025 Content Pass ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

Freilauftomate✭✭✭✭The one place where zombies would make sense for me is Cyrodiil. All deer and torchbugs that have been "escorted to greener pastures" for no good reason could come back as some sort of vengeful overpowered mutant deer race with torchbug combat pets or something. Hungry for brains they just want to break keeps and bridges and kill guards and players all night long. The torchbugs could fly away with the hammer, if nobody picks it up fast enough, and drop it in a random keep. I mean, someone already ate our children, broke our horses' legs and stole our toilets. I bet it was them, preparing for war.1

✭✭✭✭✭There already are zombies in the game, they’re called bots.
But seriously, makes absolutely no sense as a playable “race.”3 -

it really hasn't.
sorcerer also has daedric magic, it's not nonsensical to have a class focus completely on daedric magic related to one prince and their realm.

What exactly wasn’t clear?
Just read the question and silly responses. It’s clearly not mean to be serious. This community is just over serious about everything on the forums.
