    I dont have chars of any of these races:

    Argonian/Orc/Nord/Khajit/Redguard

    A mix of bad racials (nord) or me not liking the races (the rest).

    As many times as I have tried to make an Argonian character... just doesn't work for me. I couldn't tell you if its the looks, or what either.

    Honestly, I might like them more if they were a little 'less' human looking. If they looked more like smaller Daedroths or a bit more reptilian body styles.

    The other issue, which is a problem in nearly all ES games lately, is there is no significant reaction to your race. I would play Khajit and Argonians MUCH more if the NPCs treated them more harshly. Love to play the underdog... but theres just none of that in ES games anymore.

    Argonian Savage Made This

    Some say "alt", I say bank space with a tail.

    They should be grateful to serve their Dunmer master so that they might know some semblance of worth in their otherwise short and pointless lives.

"Yessir, the check is in the mail."

    Yes!!! I think you hit the nail right on the head there. Same thing with the Khajit—they both look like someone grafted an animal head on a regular Ken or Barbie body. A bit of a raptor-style slouch for the Argonian, more cat-like posture and movements for the Khajit (I think GW2 had the right idea with the Charr even dropping on all fours for their running animation)... it would be so much more appealing to me.

    Altmer
    I really dislike Elves in general. ESO elves more than any other. And the altmer are just the cream of the arrogant crop.
    Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
    Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
    Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

    XBOX NA
    Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    Yeah something about khajits prevent me from using them. I can never seem to get the head to look like they were not recently hit by a car.

    The Kerra race from EQ2 seems to be the best cat race of all time. Thinking back, EQ2 had some pretty awesome races. And also 20 races!

    Altmer
    altmer are the Romulans (from star trek) of the elder scrolls universe, but far less interesting or fun, but really fun to pick on. Their Vulcan counterpart, the Bosmer (from a good vs. evil approach), are much more interesting and indepth as a race. Imperials might be a close second to Altmer in boring-ness.

    Just my opinion, likely much different than someone elses I'm sure.

    I mainly play breton, I have an altmer, and a khajiit, the first two since magicka reigns supreme are the most useful in any class right now, and khajiit makes for a great nb.....if stamina builds were competetive with magica i'd prolly play other races, also imperial just seems like the noob race, with it's free heal(game to hard? play an imperial and get free heals!) lol

    naturally! tree huggers are maybe like 90% of their vile population and they are dull like a ball. the rest are simply simpletons. meatsniffing, empty-headed ferals whos culture is repulsive almost as their animalistic head sprouts.

    I made a mule all called "Hordes Shiny Things" but.. I won't ever actually play her... I'm rather shallow and dislike the way they look :x Khajiits are fine for some reason, so it's not necessarily a "they aren't human looking" deal.. cause really all (races) of them are humanoid-y. I dunno! I like seeing and interacting with them. I especially liked one of the side quests to help an Argonian achieve the dream of becoming a crocodile.. I'll just never play one as a main.
