New BeastfolkRaces in ESO?

Post » Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:05 am

So someone on this forum claimed that it was confirmed that maomer would be included in the Elder Scrolls Online. I looked it up and it's true:

http://www.tesof.com/attachment.php?aid=3 (you probably have to log into the forum to see the picture)

Does anyone know if other known races will be included that we have yet to see? I'm thinking specifically of the Sload, Imga, and Tsaesci.

The Imga almost have to be in since we will be able to explore Valenwood.

The Tsaesci could easily be in given that the we are not long after the invasion from Akavir and the assimilation of the Tsaesci into Imperial Culture (as body guards and later Potentates.)

Sload seem less likely but I would still like to see them.

What do you guys think about the inclusion of these four races? Which is most likely? Which do you most want to see?

Are there other races we can realistically expect to see?

Perhaps the maormer and sload will appear in and around summerset, as the altmer are constantly at war with both. There is a town in Elsweyr that is populated by tsaesci as well.

While I've never been a fan of the more recent fantasy trope that "every animal has a sentient, albeit tribal version of it living in our world" like WoW's walruses and owls and bears and frogs and pandas, etc, I always thought TES handled this kind of diversity with a lot of elegance, not overdoing it at all, but making it believable in a way.

I welcome any and all of those races, but I'd be especially interested in tackling the Sload. That would be lots of fun!

There even should be a few Ayleids running around actually iirc.

No new playable races i guess but there ahould be Imga, Maormer, Tsaeci, maybe a few Sload and Ayleids, and possibly some Kamal NPCs.

Now if the MMO was set about 100 years earlier we could have a new Beast and Human race to play as and possibly some Black Marsh specific Mer. Lilmothiit, Kothringi and Mer are described as being killed because of the Knahaten Flu.
