Races for Skyrim? : V - Skyrim

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:55 am

No No No No NOOOOOOOO........we need at least one new race, I don't care if they take one out, or two,
heck cut Kajiit and Argonian, I never play lower races anyway.....and for that matter cut Imperials and
Bretons, one human race is enough....just give me one new race.....even if it's Na'vi

Uh, Redguards are human, and Bretons are half-elves.

Last time I looked the beast races were as equal as the rest. Goblins and rieklings are lesser races.

From the lore I've seen most of the other game races are either dead, missing, or merely another name for the races that are in game already.

If people want more races I sugest buying a PC copy of the game, open the construction set, and create your own. Believe me using these tools for stuff like that is pretty straight forward. Either that or wait for some one to do it for you and down load it. (This is assuming that there is a construction set for the game).

Todd said that he didn't want more races, he wants them to be more distinct from each other.
And I agree with him, ten races are more than enough.

RACIST! What have Khajiiti or Argonians ever done to you?

Well there's that Argonian that keeps laying eggs on my lawn. Damn reptiles. I'm cool with the existing races and pleased they are attempting more distinction though I never agreed with Imperials being their own race. Ayleids (wild elves) are possibly still around so that would have been an option.

Always been fascinated by the Tang Mo (monkey folk) though. But I have a weird interest in Planet of the Apes.

The should add a race of either wolf or fox people that would be a nice add and Skyrim being so different I could see either of them being a somewhat common race of the land.

Except for the point that that is completely against the lore... how do you explain the apparittion of a complete new race? Stupid request.

ya know what really pisses me off is that you can't play as the coolest race of all ''dremora'' and even better yet a lich dremora, that would be sweet.

Well. the problem is that dremora are... evil demons and those things.

"I'M A DREMORA I'M THE DRAGONBORN AND I DON'T WANT ALDUIN TO DESTROY THE WORLD I WANNA DO IT MYSELF! UAUAUAUAUAUAHHH!!!!"

I haven't lol'ed this hard in a while, thanks! :thumbsup:

As for new races themselves... no. Just no. I'd really like to see how they made playing the existing ones more special though, as Todd mentioned in the interview.

PLease akavir make khajiits paws grow big again and let them have a tail still!

It's always a pleasure to make someone lol.

I hope they include some of the akavir races. Not as a playable race, but maybe one or two NPCs who are hard to find, and can give a little info about their homeland or something.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:57 pm

The same in Oblivion.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 4:18 am

add the dwarves back! i'm sure they could make up a story of why they weren't gone but hiding from the other races for blah blah reasons

Khajiit and Argonians aren't even real and my initial thought was still, "what a racist."

Please Akavir? What the hell are they gonna do? They hate us! How would they make khajiits paws grow anyway? And, of course they will have a tale, You silly boy.

i think they confirmed mudcrabs as a playable race

*crosses fingers*

What do you mean lower races? :stare:

What do YOU mean lower races? :stare:

I'm thinking we can quarantine Fargoth and the Adoring Fan into their own little lesser race.
:lmao:

I hope they start to make each Race have there own Skeleton. It would add some variety to there shape, add an easier way to get armor fit to unique races (Like if Argonians have the style of legs they did in morrowind), well aslong as the Hero Engine thing workes close to the Gamebryo with the shaping to the skeleton. Also will help making those other creatures like Sloads easier to make, as the skeleton scripting can be hard. And I repeat, [bSUBRACES/SUB-SPECIES![/b]

Realistically, it should be impossible for Khajiit or Argonians to be Dragonborn, as, from what I know, using common sense, they can't breed with men, and so the dragonborn would be relegated to being Men or Mer, but whatever, given it seems to have less to do with the actual bloodline as it does with the god's approval.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:20 am

We'll get what we get! But, for interest, there are those other weirdos from Akavir that may have emigrated - golden snake skined vampire people begins with a T, can't recall the spelling, but sounds like "T' say see" anyhow you know, the ones who crafted the Dawnfang sword found in the Trumb ruin by the SI orc adventurer...... they would be an interesting addition.

I just hope and pray that this time we can make better/prettier looking folk than in'O' - my best attempt at a gorgeous Altmer girlie mage still had the odd wrinkle and strangly offset eyes with a lopside mouth. setting the age slider to middle aged resulted in Tutenkhamun's grandmother!!!!!!

Iant Skyrim too cold for Argonians?

Why would the last Dragonborn be a Khajit or Argonian. Something like that would be a Nord, Imperial, Breton or Redguard. I really don't care for Argonians. They are more then likely the least used race in the game, they really should be switched out.

Give them reason to fear the mudcrab!

I'll be honest though. If I saw a mudcrab dressed in dedera armor with a longsword staring me down, I'd be running the other way so fast.

First: nobody knows HOW LONG does dragonborn exist. As i remember Khajiits were something like to human but have changed (at least it is what they believe).
Second: nobody knows how the dragonborn linked with daedra.
Third: do you know what dragonborn actually is?

Dear Bethesda Gods.

Imga.
Or make Argonians four times as fearsome.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:26 pm

It has and WILL always be the usual ten races, thank the skies..

Getting tired of people pulling their ninja-swoosh-swaash manga / anime nonsense into races. Mostly modders, but meh..
