First of all if something like that already confirmed for game or already have a topic sorry for that

whats this special abilities?

unique perks for every race like if you choose Orc you can gain some ability which other races
doesn't have so this can make every race more unique and different.

these abilities can be anything not just for combat


what do you think?

err... hello

have you ever played a TES game before?

Yeah, in both MW and OB they had special abileties and I'm pretty sure they did in the forst two games as well.

yes but i am talking about perks

*Edited*

I think that racial based perks will most likely be in.

Yes, I think they will too. They were called natural abilities in OB, wonder what they will call them now?

Ideally I think each race should have one use-based and one passive bonus.

Well, there probably will be special abilities due to the fact that, Argonians were known in the Elder Scrolls lore for breathing under water, Wood Elves for talking to creatures, High Elves for their natural mastery in magic, ect. But Skyrim is the Nordic region, and their known natural ability was to ward off the cold with their natural resistance to it. Skyrim is full of cold areas (I presume), so what would their ability be?
I also believe Nords were well known for their high physical strength, just to add.
