Baldur's Gate 3 Fan Adds Skyrim's Dark Elf Race

thegamer.com:

Baldur's Gate 3 fans have been hard at work adding a whole load of different species to the game, but usually, they're pulled from the incredibly wide variety of existing Dungeons & Dragons options. ghouls0rules is stepping out of that multiverse entirely, bringing The Elder Scrolls' dunmer to the Sword Coast.

We visited their homeland in Morrowind, got called outlanders and n'wah, and were subjected to ashy wastes as we navigated half-naked skooma addicts, hoards of cliff racers, and bloodthirsty politics. Now, they have to put up with having a tadpole lodged in their head as they crawl through goblin camps and cursed shadowlands. It's only fair.

You can download ghouls0rules' mod here, called The Dunmer - Playable Dark Elf Race.

There are six subraces based on each of the houses in Morrowind, including Dagoth and the Ashlanders. The mod also comes with seven custom spells that have their own VFX, unique icons and heads, and a bunch of Elder Scrolls-inspired tattoos and piercings.

There's a lot of lore to the dunmer, but here's a crash course for anyone who downloads the mod and wants to know their history. Their ashy skin isn't natural, but a curse bestowed upon them by Azura when the Tribunal rose to godhood, betraying their oath. Their predecessors were the Chimer, who had pale golden skin.

In the past, they enslaved Khajiit and Argonians, deeming them as little more than "beast races", and went to war with the dwarves. Of course, not all dunmer are evil, and in games like The Elder Scrolls Online, we've seen them side with the nords and argonians, but a bubbly dunmer is pretty rare. Their closest Baldur's Gate 3 counterparty is most likely the drow.

If you're playing as a magic class, your best bet is a Telvanni
