Matth85 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 , so almost anything can be lore friendly Not quite.If you care about making something lore friendly, you got guidelines. TES got QUITE the story behind itself, so you can't just say "dude, fantasy and magic. These shark people are lore friendly 'cause..."TES series is a story being told in such a way we decide the story, but the guidelines and structure is not ours to decide. That is the developers. By the way, your "Devs can do it, but not modders" comment is rather weird. Can I also write a book called "Harry Potter and the 2 towers" and say "You know what, if they can write it, I can write it too!" and say it is the sequal to Harry Potter and Prequal to the Hobbit? There is a big difference between Lore friendly and non-Lore friendly. Modders are not limited to either, but making 1 and claiming it is the other is wrong.

"if it doesn't directly break existing lore"Maybe you missed my edit, wanted to be clear. Edited November 13, 2013 by Derok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I wrote that before the edit, but yes.Though doesn't that nulify what you said in the first place? Either it is lore friendly or not. The lore decides, not us.Tamriel got quite a lot of lore. We speak of the evolution, creation and destruction. There can't be a random new race that we can make up. We can use the existing races, or bi-races made via experiments or different branch of evolution. For instance, we got elves. There are tons of different elves, all deriving from the old High Elves. There are bound to be a kind of elves we do not know about, that will be shown in future games. We can't do that though. What we could do, is to let existing races such as Maormer ( Water Elves ) or Lilmothiit ( vulpine-man-creature). So we got a lot to work with. But the line is clear.I'll stop now though, as this thread should be used for the OP to get the help he needs, not for me to rant on :) Matth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derok Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Does this race have hands or real wings? Or they have both?

Derok Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't get the joke. But I'm pretty sure nobody want deformed old people as race. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derok Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 By the way, I'm pretty sure the op wants a race based on real birds, not grotesque mutations (though I love scary stuff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
