/Is there going to be any new races besides the ones that were in TES IV Oblivion?

They've said that we'll have the same ten races.

aww that svcks i kind of wish there would be new races in addition to the ones in oblivion

They cant just make up races. Those are the races inhabiting Tamriel, they cant just make up some new race that inhabits some new randomly decided newly made provonce that no one has ever heard of.

Isn't the poll basically describing an Altmer?

Except they can use things other than magic. They're basically the more magically inclined race. There doesn't need to be another one.

Personally I'd focus on making Bretons and Imperials more distinct from one another and giving some gameplay incentives for playing Orcs over Nords before toying with any more races. Even then, I think the Elder Scrolls already has plenty for the RPG class archetypes and everything in between. Don't need any more, IMO.

No, it wholly sounds like he's describing http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/95/others/sload.jpg. But expect other races to kill them on sight, as they did try wiping out Tamriel, using the Thrassian Plague.

maybe someone can mod one in for you.

nowhere near as fun
