11th race

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 12:45 am

We all know what they 10 races are, but if you could add an 11th race, what would you be. Personally, I say daedra, but that's just me

Moamer are probably the only logical addition. Short of a magical reappearance by the Dwemer or a reclamation of the Falmer.

Maomer or Sea Elves. I would prefer the snow elves, but they may be too far fetched.

To be honest I'm not sure why they are not already there. Right now I think there are too many human races and just enough elf races. We got cat people and lizards, but no apes.

They're not there because snobby cape wearing apes are a bad idea, hence why they dont even have proper artwork. I'd like to see such a race act more like orcs where might is right and the strongest lead the tribe..like real apes

Well I wish they would drop a couple races. I still remember when Orcs were a creature, not a race.

We got humans:

Nord - Traditional light skin, blond hair type.
Bretons - Meditrainian or Mid East look
Imperials - Similar to Bretons (maybe they should have made Bretons Asian)
Redguard - Traditional dark skinned, dark hair.

We got elves:

Dunmer - Dark elf (drow)
Altmer - High elf
Bosmer - Wood elf
Orsimer - Honestly, I still wish they were a creature, like goblins.

We got beasts:

Khajiit - Cat man.
Argonian - Lizard man.


I wish they would drop a human race (or make one Asian so there is more variety) and maybe add a new beast race, or nothing.

Definitely a beast race, preferably two. Maybe some insectoid race that can fly?

But... there is no Asia on Nirn.

On the topic, I'd like me some Maormer.

i could do without imperials, they're a useless race to me because they feel like citizens not warriors. Voice of the emperor is a useless power when slaying dragons.

I agree that an asian human race would add variety, they have katana but not the proper race to weild them...when i made a blind swordsman i ended up using redguard because there were no asians

None, I don't see anyone that fits.
Maybe some variations of the Kahjiit race, but that's not technically a new race as their appearance id decided by the moon.

Some people mentioned Maormer, it could be cool, but last time I checked they didn't give a damn about the rest of Tamriel so I don't know how they would fit in.

I'd personally like to play a Dwemer. I'm sure Bethesda could come up ith some crazy explanation for their reappearance. But Really, I wouldn't complain whether it was Falmer, Maomer, or Dwemer. Just a new Mer.

The criteria for another race is that it has to be one that can do the same things as all the other races and reasonably blend in with the in-game world the same as the rest.

Daedra? Dwemer? Sloads? These races do not fit the criteria.

Personally, I think 10 races is plenty. Plus, it's a nice even number.

The Dwemer returning would be as ridiculous as the Protheans returning in Mass Effect, even though it did happen, it totally ruined the mystery and intrigue around them. I liked Yagrum Bagrum as even though he was a living Dwemer his mind and body had been destroyed, if a [censored]load of Dwemer just returned out out nowhere it would feel far too far-fetched. I think that 10 races is plenty enough and people are starting to get a tad greedy when it comes to them, especially when you think about how unique and varied each race is - if not in appearances than in culture.

I choose the monkey people. I forgot their name but they inhabit another continent (Akavir?). The look of the beast races was really well done in Skyrim. I'm sure they could do a monkey just as well.

It's a fantasy game and it have it's own logic and style, just because their exist asian (what a vague designation) style amors their don't have to be asianlooking people, and what' are this for suggestions, simply let disappear a race and get another....

yh this for Tamriel ^^.

If the Dwemer do ever make a return I'm not expecting them to be a good race but rather they will be an evil and corrupted race more in line with daedra and will be a threat to Nirn in a "War of the Worlds" style story line. I mean, just look what they did to the Falmer.

Maormer will be cool. A tropical / sea elves. I'm expecting them to be something like a Maori / Hawaii warrior type of elves.

Other than that it'll have to be an Akaviri race. Akavir seems to be the heartland of beast folk. There is also a snake type of race.

I expect if Akavir does have a human race then I'm sure they will be a Nirn equivalent of a East Asian Oriental / native American / Latino / Inuit type people
