When will racial change come? Current racials (imperial, dark elf) are OP compared to rest.

    This topic has been discussed to death and it doesn't matter how you show that certain racials are either not OP or at the very least only situational, people will relentlessly insist that they are. There is no need to change them and yet no amount of facts will convince these people otherwise.

    It doesn't take much though... I was so sad that I rolled a bosmer sorc (Stam) and then they "just" gave me some more regen and the character made sense again. I know it's not on par with imperial or redguard but it's fine now.
    Nords and the beast races, incl. orcs, in particular are just sad imo.

    lore has no real part in this, Argoniants and Khajiit have garbage racials for example, and thus are at a serious disadvantage no matter what class they are.

    So..., some people want racial changes because: don't care about the lore (they aren't TES fans) or/and, people don't want to reroll (don't want to invest more time in the game) or/and people didn't make any research before chose their race

    or they rolled argonian only to have them f'ed over

    ofc lore has a part, why nords have cold def and d elf fire afinity? why high elfs are mages in all tes games? and i disagree with the part khajit have garbage racials, every race has some favourite role and classes, you think im happy as d elf stamina nb? yet i dont cry all day on forums omg racials are so unbalanced... and yeah again lore has a part in this game, when you think at nords and orcs you imagine them mages or brute fighters?

    In a certain way.

    If you know what I mean.

    Hey, you get a 6% boost to stamina and 9% magicka boost is always useful. The flame talent becomes useless, though, I'll give you that. However, the DE racials even without flame talent are better than Argonians in the current state of the game without soft caps and with stamina-based abilities. This is especially true considering the prominence of fire damage in the game. That's pretty sad when you can take away a racial from a race and they're still superior to all of another's.
