imga?

Post by Vinja »

hey guys, i was just thinking about this and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on why they havent added these cool monkey folk as a playable race yet? i mean from the lore it doesnt seem like they are particularly rare or anything, and it would kind of be neat to add more variety, i for one cant think of an rpg that let you play as a gorilla man.

anyone have any ideas on why they have been ignoring them?

Because they're native to Valenwood and the only game that was set, in part, there was Arena, but I doubt Imga even existed in lore back then.

true they are, but they never leave? i suppose there isnt any lore about any imga outside of that province, but i always kind of assumed some would leave there home province like every other race.

If you have read up on the Igma, then you would have noticed that they despise Men. Hence, they will go nowhere humans frequent.

Perhaps that is one reason why they are not seen outside of Valenwood.

Who knows? maybe they consider the Isles as sacred or that there are too many humans in Summerset.
That makes me wonder, what do they think of Bretons? Why Altmer? How to they feel about other elves?

They probably view the Bretons the same way as they view humans.

It is true that the Imga idolise the Altmer. They have been known to use makeup to try and appear similar to them. Read this.
