Should Daedra be an option for character race? : V - Skyrim

Yes, within reason. It's not against the rules that mortal man and mer might rise to power and fame and glory through whatever means, but for a Daedra to walk on Nirn without repercussion? It's just a bit silly really. It would be like trying to play as a dragon, too ridiculous to take seriously.

No more than playing a stage 4 Vampire.

No more than playing a stage 4 Vampire.

Vampires in this game are so weak its not. The ratio of disadvantages to advantages is actually really unbalanced in my opinion. I played through the game as a vampire (almost stage 4 constantly) and did not notice a single bit of difference in combat prowess, save for illusion, which I didn't even use. But they where vastly weaker too, plus as a stage 4 vampire you'd have no chance of blending in with society.

In oblivion, a stage 4 vampire could run through the game laughing maniacally while tearing the faces off his enemies. Now a stage 4 vampire gets to limp through feeling like a mediocre excuse than a true vampire.

Well I am sure that it will be modded in if it hasnt already, though if you are on console I dont think that will help you much.

As for Dremora being made a playable race in the vanilla game I dont see it happening as I am not sure that many people in the world as it is would invite a Daedra into their cities and villiages with open arms, but then again considering how much Skyrim already whitewashes over your racial choice (high elf becoming Ulfric's right hand man) why the hell not.

Don't forget the reason it's possible to have a high elf as Ulfrics right hand man is because of how the quest progresses. You start off meeting him on the way to both of your execution's, and then you turn up at his palace to join the Stormcloaks and tell him you could have gone anywhere else in the empire but you decided you wanted to help his cause. Just because your an elf does not mean you are sided with the thalmor or the empire, you could've lived in Skyrim long before the civil war.
