Race Suggestion: Centaur

You know what We've never seen in an MMO like.. ever?
Centaurs.. or, really.. anything that's not the average bipedal humanoid model, and We understand the reason for this is it's 'difficult' to animate this sort of model for player characters and that it's a 'lot of work,' but you know.. We do pay a monthly fee and quality content was promised in return for this, so.. yeah.. We're asking, or suggesting rather, for Centaurs as a playable character race.
Why not? They were in Daggerfall. It seems like they'd make an interesting player race and Elder Scrolls could be the first (to our knowledge) and only MMO to have playable Centaurs.

✭✭Centaurs?????![:\](https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
:O
What about the fact that they would have to code an entirely different animation system for them, and the fact they would be limited to outside. Far better races to be introduced like Fallmer, original Snow elves (from chancellory) or even the Mythical Left handed Elves. ;DEdited by AlexDougherty on May 23, 2014 2:56PMPeople believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

They wouldn't be limited to outside. The way We'd envision it working is that the 'mount' would be your character, only that function would be accessible outside. As for the animators? Yes, as We mentioned in the beginning;We understand the reason for this is it's 'difficult' to animate this sort of model for player characters and that it's a 'lot of work.'
However the animators get paid for.. well, animating.. so We'd see this as worth it in the end and as mentioned, to our knowledge this would make TESO the first and only MMO to have Centaurs as a playable race.
We're not saying it wouldn't be difficult or hard work, We know it would be; but they are paid to do work.0 -
Neizir✭✭✭✭✭Centaur's aren't in official TES lore. So therefore; no centaurs.
I'd love to see playable Maormer though.Neizir Stormstrider

✭Another race is not needed right now. Funny suggestion though.Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!0 -

I wish people did basic research before claiming that something isn't in the lore.Centaur's aren't in official TES lore. So therefore; no centaurs.
I'd love to see playable Maormer though.
Besides, that it's never been done before doesn't mean it can't be added in the future. Lore isn't fixed, it changes and grows with each game - and it's a good thing. Outright contradictions are undesirable, but expansions can be interesting and valuable.
I still don't want playable centaurs though.Edited by Rosveen on May 23, 2014 3:10PM0 -
I appreciate the use of the royal "We" and "our". I like to read the OP in the Queen's voice.0

Yes they are, but didn't get carried into the other games.
Which is why some of us didn't say that. 8)
My only concern was their practicality.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

We weren't commenting to you, mostly to the people saying "They're not Elder Scrolls Lore" when they in fact, are. Just because you haven't seen them in recent games doesn't mean they don't exist, they still do; the expanse of the entire Elder Scrolls World and Lore isn't covered in any single game.
As for practicality, it could be done. One of the biggest hurdles We'd forsee is like hitboxes for the models.. But We think it'd be very interesting at least, We suspect many of the nay-sayers are just pumped up at the moment and contrary for the sake of being contrary due to the apparent rage over the new patch. Either way, meh.
It's still a suggestion We'd like to see happen one day.0 -

Did not know that, hm. Odd. Shame it died, then.
Well Elder Scrolls Online could be the SECOND and only surviving game on the market to have playable Centaurs, at least.0
