D&D 4th edition removed the Gnome race and replaced it with some other race. In Oblivion, since there are 3rd-party races now, which race would you remove? And what new race, either 3rd-party or your own idea, would you replace it with?

Take out the red guard, bring in the Imga. I love Imga, they are just flat out fun.

I don't care what you take out, so long as you include—

Time.

Travelling.

Cowboys.

— into the game.

THE SLOAD!!!!
Imagine playing a obese, midget, slug that raises it's foes corpses resulting in their own personal army. I do have a mod that makes playable Sload and Imga, and while that's fun, I would wet my pants seeing one in Skyrim or TES:VI.
And I guess remove some humans, Imperials probably.

I would replace the orcs with the tsaeec.

If you removed any "race", then you wouldn't be playing Oblivion anymore. Go ahead and add whatever you want, it doesn't mean anything needs to be deleted.

Why get rid of any? We can just add more.... of course if we are going to get rid of a race it should depend on where we are going.... If we go to the summerset isles next then the races of man should be reduced in number though im not sure what should be added

I would remove Altmer and Bosmer and replace them with proper Dwarves (not Dwemer) and Kender.

For what it's worth, they stuck them right back in with Player's Handbook II, about a year later. They even added Minotaurs, my preferred real-life roleplaying race, in PHIII. Cool thing is, all the various races from all the PHs are balanced according to the same scheme, making everything viable to play at first level.

My man. Fellow Krynnite? I'd also like to see a small playable race in a TES game. They'd have to change height influencing movespeed though, or our little friends would be slowly trudging around with a hefty speed penalty.

Agree. I have a dozen new races through mods, never needed to think about getting rid of original ones. Besides, there aren't that many races in the game, there could be quite a few more - perhaps even bringing some new commodities with them, to enhance the rather poor level of merchandise.

Don't forget gully dwarves lol

That would be terrible. One of the best things about the Elder Scrolls is that they don't just follow generic fantasy stereotypes. Adding "proper" dwarves would ruin it. As it is dwarves,elves, gnomes, dragons, etc, are so overdone in fantasy. If anything something unique to the Elder Scrolls should be expanded on, like the Daedra.

I'd remove none and just keep adding. This is elderscroll, not some other silly fantasy where there can be only x race options.

Bosmer replaced with the undead daedra lizard race which devoured all Bosmer

Remove the dunmer and replace them with the dwemer.

I want to see Maormer, maybe we'll see some Maormer NPC's in the next game but they never appear other than in lore and they command huge sea monsters, I would want to see that.

I'd like to see playable daedra. Always wondered what the world looks like through the eyes of a scamp.

Imagine the outcry, this would kill TES.

I think it would be cool if in the next game there could be like a little mini-game where you get to play as creatures and enemies, you know in your extra time when you have nothing to do, just to pass the time. Like getting to be an undead Draugr and guard your tomb from adventures. You know what, I think this is a great idea for TES:O, imagine if the monsters you fought might be real people, and the increased intelligence they would have because of it.

what if it turned out that the dunmer WERE the Dwemer



mind

is

blown

I don't think any of the races should be removed. Just add more!

I would love to see some of the Akaviri races, although that probably will not happen.

That's fine and dandy, but I like most:
A) Love the Dunmer and Morrowind(the game, province, and culture), ah nostalgia.
B) Love the Dwemer mystery.
Fans would revolt if they did this.

Remove the Bosmer and add the Imga. Or the Dwemer.

I wouldn't remove any races. If you don't like 'em, you don't have to play 'em.
