No, fail. Dwemer aren't actually dwarven.

Yes they are. They are the dwarves of TES. They are not literally dwarves, more being the size of the average Mer but none-the-less they are the dwarves of TES.

On topic: I'd like to see the Imga or Lilmothiit's, they sound like interesting races. Falmer could be interesting race to play. Though that would go against lore since they aren't technically confirmed to exist. Sload wouldn't do IMO, to big and sluggish, would only really work mage characters.

I'd want more beast races.
A fox or dog-like race perhaps. Or bear people. Or rabbits. Yes, rabbits are cool.

... No. Fail.

Point A: Dwemer are extinct and will never return. Ergo, having them be playable would have to be in a prequel that would eliminate some of the mystery or a sequel that would be inconsistent with prior storytelling.
B: Goblins are technically nonsentient and exist primarily as a slave race for the Altmer, so not a lot of roleplay opportunities there.
C: No, I will not bear with you. Daedra are alien to human psychology and morality totally, therefore playing as one would have to be too different from any other races to be practical in the sense of implementation.
D: There are already other sorts of races from Akavir, Pyandonea and possibly Yokuda that, while fitting the lore, would lose a lot of their mystery and magic to be seen in the flesh, especially if they were common enough to be playable.
E: Maybe "evry1" would get it if you learned to spell.

Its really funny that u try to show me up but i dont care so yer, and i was just throwing ideas out there

If you mean like what kind of race could we bring in as a new race we can play as then yeah, definitly The Deadric Race, would be pretty cool

not a new race per se, buy separating the clovians and teh nibenese, clovians being a more talkative nord. And the nibenese becoming a stealth based human race, seems weird with the bretons being magic the nords being warrior, that there is no stealth conterpart to balance things out

i think 10 is a good cap on races, all the specifics are there dark elf/magic elf/white human/black human/cat and lizard people/orcs What gaps are there that need to be filled

dwarves, like from LOTR, but a bit more badazz

I think I'd like to see a race similar to the Salarians from the Mass Effect universe.
