LE Alternative to new races

[niceguy]

I usually avoid posting in here but I think this idea would aid the community.

 

There are a large bunch of addon races to choose from but many of them do not really seem to actually require new bodies/skins, Thease are also commonly given a lore as related to a standard race. In thease cases, when the goal is just to add a new set of abilities maybe a different approch could be to start a characer normally and then use a buff of sort to add thease abilities instead maybe in by sort of washing away the normal racial abilites and replace them by, say reading a scroll shortly after character creation.

 

 

Hypotetical buff added subrace:

 

frost dunmer: When the falmer was exterminated or driven underground, some small number of them managed to flee to Morrowind. Generations of integration with their hosts have made them now look just like any other dunmer and are recogniced as such. However, they have a lesser degree of fire resistance then other dunmer and a small potion of cold resistence to compensate.

 

Now with a background like that one may argue that some fled to Valenwood intead. Thus the scroll could be usable by both dunmer and bosmer. In both cases the standard racial abilites are replaced with new ones made to refect their mixed blood.

 

The reason for my suggestion is to avoid cluttering race selection and only races that really need their own spot should be there. This way one could also widen the scope on other racial projects, for instance the popular Temptress race are supposed to be altered nords. If my suggested method had been used, then they would have been recoqnized as nords, immensly increasing immersion. This would also allow the same alteration to be done to other races.
