📋 About This Mod
Once you were a powerful Dremora Prince. Respected by your kin and feared throughout the realms... But not anymore! Stripped of your power, abandoned, exiled and cast out of Oblivion for a mistake in the past has left you here; a mere mortal on the shores of Vvardenfell. On the 27th of February 2003, Patches860 put out a request on the Elder Scrolls forums in order to play as a Dremora. Now, more than two years later we are proud to bring you the Playable Dremora v1. 1 by The Dremora Team. This plugin will allow you to play as a Dremora. It contains a total of 5 \'male\' and 5 \'female\' Dremora faces, a set of 4 uniform (interchangeable) hairstyles for each in several hair-colors, a bald \'hairstyle\', one bonus hairstyle in red and a vampire face for the male and female. Next to that the Dremora will come with its own sound effects during combat, a starting class (Dremora Prince) and unique \'birthsign\' (Oblivion) containing the Mark of Mehrunes Dagon. Have fun playing as a Dremora! (note: As PlanetElderScrolls was the only site listing this plugin, I thought it would be nice to host it here as well)
Playable Dremora lets you start as an exiled Dremora Prince in Oblivion, stripped of power and cast into the mortal realm. This race mod adds a new playable race with a unique backstory, offering a fresh roleplaying experience for players who want to explore Tamriel as a Daedric outcast. With 904 endorsements and over 15,000 downloads, it's a well-received addition for lore enthusiasts.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 904 endorsements and 15,629 downloads—clearly resonates with players.
- Offers a fresh roleplaying angle for Oblivion veterans tired of standard races.
- Lore-friendly premise that ties into the Daedric lore of the Elder Scrolls universe.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008—may have compatibility issues with modern mod setups or the Steam version.

For Oblivion players who want to roleplay as a Daedric exile and enjoy lore-driven character concepts. If you're a completionist looking for new racial abilities or balanced gameplay, this might not be for you—it's more about the narrative flavor. Skip if you prefer vanilla races or don't want to deal with potential compatibility headaches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2008, consider using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check if your Oblivion version is patched to the latest official update, as older mods may rely on pre-Steam files.
- If you use other race mods, load this one after them to ensure the Dremora race appears correctly.
