If you had the option of choosing a new race to play as, what would it be?
I looked up some obscure ones for people, but if anyone else knows of some...

    Second choice would be daedra. Both would be awesome. It would be an interesting direction to take ESO in. A sort of flip side. Play as the bad guy or introduce some of the ancient races somehow (altho I'm sure it wouldn' be 2 hard 2 figure out).

    Due to the circumstance that, as far as I know, Dwemer and Ayleids don't exist anymore and Falmer are more like ... Goblin kind of stupid creatures, I would go with Kothringi.

    You'll never get the option to play Dwemer. They disappeared before the events in ESO take place.

    http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Battle_of_Red_Mountain
    The Dwemer were well-defended by their fortress at Red Mountain, but Nerevar's cunning drew most of Dumac's armies out into the field and pinned them there, while Nerevar, Dagoth Ur, and a small group of companions could make their way into the Heart Chamber by secret means. There, Nerevar the Chimer King met Dumac the Dwarf King and they both collapsed from grievous wounds and draining magics. With Dumac fallen, and threatened by Dagoth Ur and others, Kagrenac turned his tools upon the Heart, and Nerevar said he saw Kagrenac and all his Dwemer companions at once disappear from the world. In that instant, Dwemer everywhere disappeared without a trace.

    Daedra would fit the storyline so well. After all, you start the game in Oblivion. Plus, there are Deadra you do quests for that operate on their own accord, and are not in a position of power.

    Depends on the ancient race.

    Dwemer for example would be near impossible to introduce, the lore is all but one disappeared, and that one remaining Dwemer was a ghost. None have been seen since their disappearance at all.

    Kothringi and Imga might be doable, Aylieds would certainly be doable, all you need is a few isolated villages which haven't had much contact with the world.

    Deadra would be much harder to justify, very few are independant of their princes, fewer still view Humans/Elves/Khajiit/Argonians with anything more that bemused hostility (we are toys to them, and they enjoy seeing how we break).

    I think any Cliff Racer who set foot (wing?) in Cyrodiil would find themselves very popular very quickly. ;) All glory to St. Jiub, I say!

    I voted Dwemer, because they are fascinating, but obviously it's extraordinarily unlikely. I am always curious if there are other peoples on other, hitherto-unknown continents on Nirn, though.

    how are you going to play as a Dwemer or an Aylied? They are all dead. Also, if you want to be an Aylied, just play a high elf, they looked the same.

    But there are only two distinct species outside of "human" and "elf". Something different from "human" and "elf" along the lines of Khajit and Argonians would be nice, because ape variants get super boring, super quick. Humans are just shaven apes, after all, and elves are nothing but humans with pointy ears and (in this case) funky eyeballs.

    More sapient non-apes the merrier, please.
