Still Has Dark Elf!

[RebelousDarkElf]

There better still be all of the old skool characters, especially Dark Elf and Imperial. From what you guys know, will there be the old characters?

[Darth Potato]

i think they still have imperials but i am not sure about the dark elf but they probably will have it.

I believe the 'old school' characters will remain with Oblivion, there might even be some new playable races

[RebelousDarkElf]

Ok, thank the heavens!

[jopperm2]

I'm sure the races will stay the same, IIRC those are all the races in the empire.

I have confirmation that the original playable races of Morrowind will be in OB but, there might be another one, we don't really know at the moment, all we have is this:

Reactions

The entry of Reactions as a tab is quite interesting. I am hoping that we hear more on this part in the future! This is another bit that will get you jumping up and down!!! To the far left of this window we have the list of races!!!

There are 11 to date on this list!!

I have just heard your jaws drop collectively on the Floor when you saw number 4... DEMORA/ DEREK!!!!!! "Yahoo! Another playable race!" I hear you all cry!

(Note from the editor: Sorry if I'm being a party pooper here, but this might just as well mean that some monsters (Demora? Dremora? have more variable faces, too...)

Now number 4 was entered in red type on the CS screen (as apposed to the black text in the rest of the list). All of the other race names are named the same in both columns (but this one is not!). Also I will state here and now I have not misspelt the entry. It does indeed say Demora, not Dremora (the derek entry is anyone's guess! And yes it is up there staring with a 'de' not 'DE'!).

As far as I can see there is NO mention of Demoras in the past games, but we do have Dremoras (from the Oblivion Realms!) so it is highly possible that this IS supposed to be Dremora and Christiane has miss- spelt it on her character race list!!(Naughty girl!) So as well as knowing we have a new race, ALL of the others appear to be in, as playable classes!

Really good news for the Khajits/Argonians/orcs out there!

I think it is also worth noting here that the interface with the CS seems to be a bit more user friendly route-wise. Think of the file trees that you use to find a file on your PC, in windows. With the +/- boxes to expand/ minimise the list. I can see something on the far left, almost cut off by the camera view. The list of entries can be read as:

Creature
Levelled Creature

Argonian
Breton
DarkElf
Demora
HighElf
Imperial
Khajit
Nord
Orc
Redguard
WoodElf

No they are not, for starters there is one lizard race in the East that uses the katana... forgot the name.

[moltovir]

If they stay true to TES lore you probably will never see them, but it's probable that due to "special circumstances" or "cause you're such a great hero" you'll be able to visit Akavir. It would be nice to explore other regions of Tamriel besides Cryodiil

Guessing several of these did not come to pass in the game.
