Which non-playable race should be playable

For me I'd like an Ohmes/Ohmes-Raht. They're just borderline Bosmer with a few Kahjiit features so there wouldn't really be player model issues like a lot of these listed in the poll.

And my boyfriend always says that he would really like to play as a Lilmothiit. I've had to tell him this game takes place shortly after the Knahaten Flu came through and wiped them out sadly.

None. Instead ZOS should release additional Polymorphs, so that folks who want to look like another race in game can do so (Dwemer, Snow Elf, Maormer, and so on).

Polymorphs are really quite boring. I wouldn't purchase one in spite of wanting a Maormer. I'd prefer to create an actual individual with a unique face of my design, not what ZOS picks for me. People that want to make an actual individual don't want a polymorph.

As for those who say we already have "all the playable races in an ES game"- we are honestly long overdue for breaking that old convention. Dagi and Pahmar along with Maormer should definitely be considered. For one thing, these races already utilize the same base body as some other races so motifs and clothing would still fit them. For another, they are already established as "friendly". (At least some are, when it comes to Maomer.)

I honestly don't understand why we can't have Dagi at least- Pahmar might be difficult due to size issues, but variations on the theme of Khajiit really do not seem lore breaking. (Neither does Maormer, frankly speaking, since we've already seen some working peacefully within places like the Dragon Guard temple.)

I agree and I feel like ESO is the best game to have additional playable races because we have all of Tamriel and beyond to play with. It’s not like the playable races are set in stone from Arena until now, we’ve had races given to us and lycanthrope strands taken away.

Another vote for Maormer

I love mer races in games. It's rare to get them, and I think it would give ESO positive favor.

Maormer is already clearly a popular concept since I see many people who make Maormer like character with a high elf.

My wife did make one, and I think he's a very handsome chap, but we're sad to not be able to wear the scales skin over the vampire skin ;_; I did make a girl Maormer to be his wife in our RP, and she wants her scales too!

I'm pretty sure that BGS decides on what races are meant to be playable.

As we learned from dragons, this is not a solid line of defense against a dedicated assault.

Elder Scrolls games have had a limited number of playable races out of the total number of races. Originally 8, it is now 10. The addition of Imperial and Orc in TES3 Morrowind is all the foothold that ZOS needs to add more races to ESO. I think convincing BGS to give the nod to an 11th or 12th race will be an easier sell than dragons. It will not, however, be a completely approved of addition to the Lore.

Maormer - essentially just a reskinned High Elf that already exists all over the coasts and islands of Tamriel.

None, but I agree with people about “sub” races. Like one other Khajiit fur stock, Naga Argonians, Nibenese/Colovian imperials. Etc

I really want to play a Maormer.

Why would Dwemer be on here when they don't exist anymore? 🤦 (minus the one who does)

None of them.

Exactly and none of them will become playable unless ESO is truly dying.
