Lamp New Races of Valenwood Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

So I've looked into Valenwood, and there are two sets of creatures that show intelligent characteristics, unlike the goblins. Since they show intelligent characteristics, I was thinking of having them as a new race, though not to be able to select at the beginning of the game. Anyway these races are known as The Great Apes (or Imgas) and the Centaur. From what I have researched, these races have taken over towns that have been abandoned by the Bosmer. The Great Apes are look sort of like Orcs, but they are hairy and gray skinned. Though since the High Elfs used to own them as slaves, the Great Apes have taken the liking of knowing them as their "Masters", and they have adapted to the tradition of shaving their hair and powdering their skin so they could look like their "Masters". Though I was thinking that this might actually look ridiculous, so we could just leave their ancestral look. Of course, if you are not interested of adding the Great Apes and Centaur, or if somebody has already suggested it, then post so I could know.

We indeed already got some art of the Igma's. There not really slaves as far as I know. In VW these days they life in indeed abandoned cities build by the Imperials. They see Aldmer as a superior race and try to look like them by shaving and powdering etc.

We'll add them eventually Wink

I'm not sure how we're with centaurs. There definetnly not going to be playable nor a new race. I think it's way easier to make a creature, just like Sheogorath Wink

The Igma concept art is very good, it looks just like I have imagined it. Though I think that it shouldn't be a playable race, so you can stick with the original concept of Oblivion. The centaurs should be creatures since the Daedra Spider (the half human and half creature look) and Horse (the galloping and stuff) animations have already been created, so I think that someone should combine them to create a unique animation for the centaur.
