Why do most race mods Have only the player as that race?

[...] it annoys me that Bethesda doesn't add any others like the races in akavir

 

What would the Akaviri races be doing in Skyrim?

They are bitter foes that never visit tamrial expect for war. There is not even trading between them what so ever.

It makes more sense to me when there are more of that race rather than just one, I do understand that downloading no race mods maximizes the sense but sometimes I'd like more races, it annoys me that Bethesda doesn't add any others like the races in akavir

Most interactions with the Akavir have been the many wars they and Cyrodil had. And that was split between two of the various races there

 

And that's before you even consider that Tscasci may or may not be humans, shapeshifters, snake-people, or some combination of all that

 

(Plus Akavir is sort of in the future)

even having them as a part of the plot though like the empire vs. stormcloak war have, I don't know ka po tun vs. Empire war

(tiger people)

(for those who don't know the lore, assuming there are any)

and after that game have them as playable assuming yet again that it ends peacefuly

Here are a few reasons I can think of

 

1 Voice acting demand

2 Terrain/town altering mod conflict

3 leveled list alteration

4 lore fanatics constant complaints

5 some races may have scripts that are player exclusive

#5 not possible there are scripts on vanilla races that only player exclusive like when you are able to use powers and no other character does.

Why don't you just make a mod --either creating a new race yourself or using one that somebody else has made*-- and make a bunch of NPCs of that race? You'd have more races in your game and there'd be multiple instances of that race in Skyrim. That seems like the obvious solution.

 

*You'd need permission if you planned to release it of course, but you can make whatever you want for private use.

Well, as long as he doesn't make it standalone I think it'd be fine. But yeah, same with a lots of weapons made, people make the weapons, doesn't mean they have to add it to the leveled lists and stuffs. I use a custom race for my followers and they are the only one in my Skyrim World that uses that race. Never bothered me.

That's a good Idea, the problem is I'm not good at voices maybe adding a follower, would be a bit better than scattering them all across skyrim. or just give that race a voice from the defaults, which ever race is closest to what you'd Imagine them sounding like, then scatter them throughout skyrim. or get help from other people. now I'd just need to find someone who's willing to allow me to make a village/follower/few characters throughout skyrim, maybe someone/more then one person who's willing to voice the races characters. :sweat: this will be tough.

Edit: there's probably allot more that I need, other than the creation kit and what I said above,

And now maybe you have the slightest inkling of what you were asking.
