Nah, dremora (dremoras?) wouldn't be a good PC race.

For one, they're pretty much all servants of a daedric prince (most popularly Mehrunes, though I believe Peryite and at least one other prince uses them commonly too) so it's not as if a dremora player can be worshipping Akatosh or Talos or whatever.

For another, it'd take some serious magical power to keep a daedra on Nirn for any kind of extended period. Most summoning spells last at most a couple of minutes before ending, sending the daedra flying back to Oblivion. Anything powerful enough to keep one on Nirn would probably have other constraints as well.

Finally... It just wouldn't feel like something daedric if people could play as a dremora. In my opinion Daedra (and to a lesser extent, the Aedra) are essentially like the Great Old Ones or daemons in Warhammer. They're pretty much utterly alien to mortals and our perceptions of them and having one be playable would kind of be watering them down in a sense.
