What ESO race do you NEVER play—and why not?

Warhealer

Khajit

This one hates the way they talk....
My 2nd runner up is High elves, they are more Racist than the ***.<-edit since I cant say k three times ill say skin heads.

My favorites are Argonians or as I call them, the Iksar
Nords and Redguards. Clearly I prefer the nomadic tribal races.

And nothing wrong with furs. That *other* side however, is disgusting.

Breton, Khajiit,Altmer which is odd given I'm AD. Love my Bosmer. Should be EP really. Might need to defect.

A white guy or gal who's obsessed with anime and wishes he/she was Japanese to the point of trying to emulate a stereotypical Japanese teenager. Basically, anyway.

Oooh. Those.

No, most furs I know arent into the Japanese stuff either. And I personally know a bunch.

They usually show up at game cons and comic cons dressed up in character cosplays that happen to be animals. Specific anime cons are avoided by all but the one girl in a wheelchair that does a lot of anime cosplays since she doesnt have to get up and move around much in some of them.

For me it's Imperial (which you left out).

While I do have access to the class, because we have less character slots than we do races I had to go with the character concepts I wanted to play the most and sadly my concept my Imperial would have fit into didn't quite make the cut.

Bryong9ub17_ESO

Imperial.... Because I didn't waste money on getting it.

Just never liked the cat race

Here is my Khajiit.


If you call him ugly, let me know to come and explain it to you at Cyrodiil.

My dog will meet you in Cyrodiil. He really hates cats, furball.

i play just dark elf or nord, either dark side either barbarian 4 life! to bad i cant have a dark nord

was never a fan of that face......

Orc. Somehow they just don't appeal to me in the "main" ES games, and in ESO the Orcs are way too human.

Morning Nord.

Altmer, because of the Veiled Heritance and the College of Aldmeri Propriety.

what else did you expect?
'you are a dimwit, a simpleton and almost useless bag of meat and bones, but we love you deeply and respect differences between us because for some otherworldly reason we adore lesser beings for the sake of world peace and mental degradation"?
thankfully 'progress' won't hit Alinor before Talos. (ayrenn excluded intentionally. she is too stupid and unimportant to attribute anything but stupidity to her)

ThePageMaster

Khajit

I will never play as a Khajiit. In fact, I have my character's entire back story sorrounded by how much I hate the Khajiit (I'm more a dog person anyway's). He's been betrayed by Khajiit before (I won't go into detail but it was brutal) and as a result has sought nothing but vengence against their furry kind. He does this so much so that he actively sought out the rumours of werewolves in order to gain their power and lust for their natural animal enemy.

His helmet, a Khajiit head taken from the field of battle and reinforced with wads of cotten. He's a little hard core.

Elenwen, is that you? :P

Raash

Personally i would never play anything Elf-like. I know its wrong but i cant help feeling majority of those who do are subpar with the average gamer but facts are facts

after thorough inspection I can safely say that my gender(interchangeably : sex) is male.
but I must agree, Elenwen that we see in Skyrim is a fine lady, one that I would fancy to meet [tadada tadada TES V loading save]. ESO's Elenwen is nothing more than a wailing hag, may she fall down the stairs and impale herself.

Nord

Really anything that looks like a regular human. I play a fantasy game to play a fantasy character so...no nords, bretons, or redguards for me...ever

The_Sadist

Khajit

Throughout my TES experience (which is mostly Morrowind through to Skyrim and now Online) I can say with all honesty that I never one touched the following races:

• Argonian - No real appeal, I typically don't play non-humanoid races and they also lacked decent racials throughout the series.
• Khajiit - See above
• Nords - Given my caster preference their racials never appealed and they were just another general human race.
• Orsimer - My least favourite Mer, melee based racials and therefore useless.
• Redguards - See above but replace Mer with Men.

I typically gravitate towards Mage classes in games so the Breton / Altmer were my normal go-to-class with the Dunmer being interesting for lore reasons over actual magical prowess (Telvanni mages are awesome). I made an Imperial for a Nightblade (Online) and a Werewolf Bosmer marksmen (Morrowind), but I can't say that I'll ever use the races again.

Yeah... but that's nothing compared to the High Elf hate. Wow.

I wonder why people keep accusing the Altmers of being the most racist. We have not enslaved other races (like the dunmer and allyieds) nor have we attempted genocide (ahem, Bretons and Redgaurds killing orcs).

In fact, we're friends with those around us. The wood elves see themselves as equals and the khajit love us for saving their culture twice. In fact, the only thing we are guilty of is being anti-immigration, but aren't most Americans guilty of the same sentiment?

Altmer practise eugenics infanticide, they see bosmer and khajiit as lesser races, in the future they will purge Valenwood of heretics and dissidents, they have caused Void Nights, they want to erase MAN and unmake the world. oh and yes, they have slaves, mostly goblins but filth like dunmer happend too.

that being said, there is nothing wrong with racism. it is a desire of a fool to expect from an Altmer to treat cattle as their equals.

Almters... skyrim made me hate them.

Altmer

Its a tossup between Altmer and Khajit.

If it were possible I would have slaughtered every NPC wholesale during the AD veteran levels.

Anvos

Orc

Had to go with orcs.

Their ugly, one of the most backwards idiotic societies in tamriel, are too stupid to realize their worshiping the weakest of deadric princes, and keep letting themselves get pushed into a state where their almost not recognized as an intelligent race.

Natjur

Dunmer

Dunmer - Cause they used to have slaves (Argonian) and my main is a Argonian

Then
Bosmer - The Green Pack, having a 'friend' for dinner
Altmer - Cause they are need to be brought down a peg or three

Orc

Orcs, followed closely by Argonians and Redguards. I can't stand looking at them for more them 10 minutes
