your favorite race

lavendercat

my favorite race has got to be the argonians.

i have loved them since morrowind.

but- in morrowind what i really loved were the dunmer and their customs and villages. i was really excited when i came across an argonian village in ESO and i cant wait to go to black marsh

Argonians, they just look so badass.

esoone

Orcs and Bretons.

Khajiit. Because every time I hear them talk they sound so innocently dumb.

My main is an Argonian vampire, looks a little odd at stage 4, but still cool.
And swimming across rivers in PVP that others get eaten by slaughter fish is fun when the enemy follows you.

My Argonian is in the Daggerfall Covvenant, so I don't see many other Argonian, and the black marsh is in Shadowfen, which is a V8 zone, so its nice to know my 'home' everything there wants to eat you and even at V10 most still can.

I created a Bosmer, but then I found out about the Green Pack and had to delete it causing eating all my enemy's was making my toon fat.

And yet they're considered the master traders (you don't see Nord or Dunmer trade caravans as much as Khajiiti ones...)

Khajiit are intelligent. The traders and town cats just SOUND that way to deceive.

Shame you didn't make a poll for this.
Redguard for myself. I love the desert and their nature.

PBpsy

If you had to make a thread to determine that Dunmer are the best you must be a filthy argonian.

edit. Yes I made the post before reading the OP.

i was going to, but then i realised i would have to list them all, and im tired :P

Dorgon

Altmer followed by Dunmer. I like all races really but those two are my most played.

BrianESO

Bosmer for me. I didn't like them in oblivion but they remade them in skyrim and I fell in love with them. I have a bosmer nightblade

lavendercat

i really liked bosmer in morrowind, but yeh oblivion had some pretty awful looking races.

czar

khajiit, have played them since morrowind. then dunmer, then redguard, i think.

I think you mean character creation without mods not races. ESO is the first one that does it decently.Oblivion was indeed horrid (even with the best mods around).

The 100 meters.

It's short.


Joking aside ... Orc and Redguard.

I've always played a Breton - in Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and now in ESO, too. The reason: Where available, I tend to play humans or very human-like races in games, probably because I'm human and can relate to them best :-) And of the human-like races in the Elder Scrolls universe, I prefer the Bretons because they're intelligent, versatile and not quite as clichéd as the Imperial "Romans" and the Nord "Vikings".

I have two, Breton and Dunmer. I usually play as Breton (my main is) as I enjoy playing 'mage' type characters and I don't care for high elves (even though bretons may have mer blood in them). I also enjoy their lore, the history of high rock, the reachmen, etc. The Bretons have always have been pretty powerful since their inception.

I really like the Dunmer lore, how they were originally the Chimer and became the Dark Elves because of Azura, the tribunal, Nerevarine, the destruction the Dwemer, how some worship the Daedric princes...all very fascinating to me.

Eivar

my top 3 are khajiit bosmer and breton, as far as eso goes i've gotta say breton, all that magicka stuff makes them fantastic as any class.

Vrixx

Khajiit, I've always loved them from the start. I intended on using all 8 character slots to make different races, because I love them all and I like the feeling and lore between different races, but Khajiit dominate 4/6 used slots!

Natjur

The number of players who pick the cannibalism Bosmer really surprise me.

Sakiri

Nord, but I have a thing for Scandinavia.

I also play dunmer in other games, or khajiit. Wish the tails werent so awful in skyrim....

Here, my main is Nord, v1 sorc alt is Bosmer. Both ww. Have a few redguard alts, mostly because I could make them look punk.

... why?

bit of an odd thing to say seeing how your character can't actually engage in cannibalism and furthermore it's a game; gamers have played far worse characters than mere cannibals

Misty

The pussycats, they are so cute.

i think the females are cute but- cannibalism ? i dont know anything about that, will have a look into it.

Eorea

Orc the most. Redguard and Nord tied for a very close second.

It's part of the Green Pact. They're required to eat their enemy's dead bodies. Including other Bosmeri.

Yup, it's in several books too, one even tells you that the more important you are the more likely they are to eat you. (can't remember the name but it's a four book set in skyrim, morrowind and oblivion).

Eivar

While the stuff about Bosmer cannibalism is interesting, I don't see why it would matter when it comes to race choice :P
