Possible new playable faction in the year 2026

Lodosslight · January 30

Hi, I have always noticed how the game has changed so much over time and things are improving little by little or not at all at times.

So, is it possible to add a monster faction to ESO? Like, play as a monster and instead of classes ...... You pick a path that leads to evolution stages/growth and make humanoids mostly aggro targets and deal with competitors as a option?
I just think this idea would be interesting to add and seeing through a monsters view point, live & strive as one.
Also, I can think of many possible outcomes if this was ever implemented as a major expansion to expand the options and I do believe this would attract a lot of players to come into the game.

I just want to play as a werewolf. A snarling, vicious beast, cursed to roam the wilderness with a primal rage.

Finally, a chance to fulfill my fantasies of playing as a tomeshell or a daedrat.

You would not want to know what it is like to play different Were-variants? They are mentioned in the lore of The Elder Scrolls just to clarify that question and I do not know if you know or not. 😉

I know other werebeasts exist. I just think werewolves are cooler.

I don't think it would make sense as a faction, but the general concept you describe... It could be some fun Hircine based event.
Hircine likes competition so it wouldn't even be completely out of character to have a PvP (or competitive PvE) event where everyone turns into a beast, perhaps upgrades into bigger and stronger beasts throughout the competition until someone is crowned the ultimate hunter. Oh no, this is starting to sound like a battleroyal...

But with that context, I actually don't think I would mind. It depends on whether the gamemode itself would be fun or not and if the rewards are exciting.

I have an idea, but there is a lot of loop holes and problems that may contradict the point of being a "Creature".

1st, the monster you grow and strive to survive as has growth and stages, therefore the first 10 tiers (levels) of your first stage will finalize as a path or choice of what creature you want to grow into. Then, once you select that path, you have 20 tiers to work onto to next stage and numbers increases more, hence the max will be 100 to reach some sort of omniscience / demi-god status.

2nd, dying will have you lose growth tiers of a few and you reincarnate back as the form you are. Also, the abilities you earn is through fights against players and you earn growth by hunting, kidnapping people(NPC) to eat, attacking traveling groups, or deal with competitors of being top predator. As the creature, you form the quest lines and how you decide such as "Attacking the town" or "destroy travelers".

3rd, I can imagine having a Cave of sort or an abandon place to pick as your Nest.

As of now, I can not think of much with the idea besides what I just mentioned and there are troubling thoughts on how this can work.
