In order for a dramatically non-human species to be added as a playable option, SE would have to sacrifice something else to pay for all that.

More miraculous things have happened (I mean... Realm Reborn?) but it's hard to imagine SE spending so many resources on something that I feel a large portion of the playerbase wouldn't find terribly appealing. Beast-like races tend to have niche following at best. Even in games like ESO where Argonians and Khajiit are considered absolutely core and TES fans would have lost their minds if they hadn't been included.
Argonians an Khajiit are more in line with what I had in mind. Something that looked more animalistic and less "human with spikey-bits".
