If You Could Have Added A New Race To The Game...

Post » Mon Jun 24, 2013 5:47 pm

What would it be? Would it be a completely unique race or just a human with special abilities? What would make the race stand out from everybody else? Personally, I would make some sort of aquatic race, it would be kind of ridiculous with fins on it's back and everything but it would make an opportunity to have an underwater city. After seeing being on the forum for a few days, I've seen how creative some people can be, so I want to see what people come up with :D.

Some kind of insectoid race would be funky. They'd be really skinny but be OP in close combat :P idk.

I think the amount of races are fine tbh.

I think the amount of races are fine too, but it would be cool to see all of the ideas people would make. About the insectoid race, I could image they could have small wings that let them hover around for something different.

IDK... I think we have quite the selection, already. Granted some are presumed extinct, but still.
I think the closest to the OP's suggestion would be the Maormer, although they are probably more snake-like than aquarian.

Taken from the UESP...

I'd like a flying race so that we could have a city on a cloud or something. I also think it would be really nice if we could mix races to have half-elves and other weird hybrids :D

Edit: the underwater city you were talking about could be named...ATLANTIS :P

A floating city eh? I think an Angelic race would fit with that. And hybrids? A Dunmer mixed with either an Orc or Argonian would be very amusing.

I'd prefer an already In-lore race.

Lilmothiit or Ka Po' Tun would work for me.

(also, don't Argonians already have Underwater cities?)

I'd like to see the Imga and Maormer as playable races. Maormer would have waterbreathing and slaughterfish would not be hostile to them. Imga would be able to swing through trees and have extra diolog options to insult humans :tongue:

If I were to invent my own, I think some sort of Bird-based race would be cool, kinda like the Khajiit and Argonians but with birds rather than cats and lizards. They'd be able to fly and once a day they could use their poop-attack to instantly kill an enemy bellow them

I'm also interested in some of the in-lore races, mostly the Lefthanded Elf and the Maormer(I guess I just like underwater or something). I found this on the wiki, "During their war with the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Reman_Empire, some Argonians built headquarters and camps on the bottom of lakes and rivers to guarantee safety" but that is all I could find.

Some Maormer up in Skyrim would be fantastic. They ride sea serpents into battle and their king is an immortal who seems to grow younger as time passes. How cool is that? If they had an ability that allowed them to launch attacks from the water, I'd be all over them.

Uhh, not quite sure about the poop attack but I guess birds do it all the time so it could work......kind of.....maybe.....(it would be ridiculous and hilarious, I'll give you that) I would prefer to swoop down and pick up an enemy then drop them from the sky. But now that you have mentioned a bird race I can only imagine them as Hagravens...they creep me out man!

I'd want

1. first chioice = Tsaechi (Japanese / Korean themed humans)
2. Second choice = Maormer (hopefully Hawaiian or central American themed)

3. third choice but not really bothered = Ka' Po Tun (but as an elven or human races than has tiger like tendencies / characteristics or worship rather than just another Khajiit looking race).

Some sort of 4-armed race. That would be so cool.

I would just make the elves more attractive-- they're hideous. To be honest, I'd probably add dwarves. That'd be cool...

10/10 do want.

Maormer should also get a once a day power where if used near the ocean, a Sea-Serpent is summoned. :cool:

Imga, should have an inborn +10% damage bonus to human races, lol.

Well I've not really thought about it beyond the dwemer, aedra an deadra.

Would be nice to be a God smiteing all evil or be a Devil corrupting all innocents.
