What race would you be if Tamriel was a true reality? Why?

Tryxus

Mazken

Speely

Khajiit. They have, hands down, the best outlook on life of anyone in Tamriel and they know how to have a good time no matter what.

too bad

there is no Asian in ESO

Aren't Akaviri based on Asian culture?

not sure about that

Pretty sure I'm right about the Akaviri having an Asian influence.

I have to say since the Akaviri fought Dragons and were similar to Samurai thus my name I would probably be one of them. Catch is I would tame the Dragon and ride the Dragon into battle, not kill it. However since the the remnants of the Akaviri warriors were later converted into the Blades or the Emperor's bodyguards. Simply put I would probably try to rebuild the Blades and drive out the dominion and convert one of the conquered Dominion territories into a newly formed Akaviri country, that would be aligned with the Empire of Cyrodill. All of Tamriel would soon know the might of the some of the greatest warriors to ever live.

I also can say I would love to be an Orc since I play as an Orc a lot more than I do with other races since I played my first Elder Scrolls game being The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion GOTY Edition.

Imperial with Nord ancestry.

Imperials seem to be the most civilized, and Nord ancestry because I am use to being a big white guy with blue eyes. I am comfortable with it.

I don't know what race I would be, if Tamriel was true reality (I think only the Gods know this), but I can tell you what race I really would like to be: a Bosmer. I don't care, what others think about this race - for me they are the most wonderful, most interesting and complex race in all of Nirn - from the moment I took my first step in TES (Morrowind).

Living in a world where people a completely losing the connection to nature and the natural spirits, it would just be wonderful to have that connection again. Not only to live in the nature, but to live with it and from it, accepting the laws of nature without questioning and without the ambition of conquering them. To be in close contact with the spirits and the gods - being a perfect unity with them - that would really be something I would like to experience.

Eating mostly meat would probably a problem for me (as I really don't eat much of it in RL), but being a Bosmer I think I would be able to cope with that. And as the Bosmer a killing animals not just for meat and throwing the rest of the carcass away but using every single part of it, I would be able to cope with it.

And concerning cannibalism that is the main reason why a lot of people I know playing TES are rejecting the Bosmer : I would be a Bosmer and it would be part of my culture. It's their way of dealing with death - every people has their own way, and cannibalism is theirs - so yes, I won't have a problem with that.

Bosmer cause they cool imo

NateAssassin

Dunno, probably Khajiit seeing as all 8 of my characters are Khajiit.

The_Sadist

Any type of magic orientated race would be fun.

There's a lot of Khajiit enthusiasts here, ah well, more slaves I suppose!

Yet you are still a slave to ZOS, grinding out veteran levels and gear, the only master here is ZOS.

Duiwel

Imperial

Inarre

Bosmer. Because being a tall, high elf woman limits your choice of life partner considerably if you dont want to look ridiculous.

I wouldn't want Tamriel to be a reality because I would hate my life go by in under 30 FPS and 400+ latency. It's bad enough in-game, I wouldn't want that to become real.
If they fix it, then I will even consider what race I'd like to be. :P

Sheezabeast

Well, since I'm a mix of Swedish, German, and Native American, it would make perfect sense for me to be a Nord. But I hate the cold and love warm places, so could this one have the heart of a Nord and the body of a Khajiit?

Skayaq

Toss up between khajiit, dunmer and imperial.

Even if Tamriel were real, how many people get to choose their race when they are born? I don't remember going through a character selection screen at birth...

milkbox

If this were real life? My dad's a Scotsman and my mom was Italian... so... Bosmer/Orc?

But in Elder Scrolls you can, you can even choose your gender.

Altmer or Dunmer, HANDS DOWN.

My reason? The lifespan.

I've said it before, but can you imagine what Albert Einstein, Jesse Owens, or David Bowie could have accomplished if they'd have had an extra 200-300 years? The ability to perfect a craft while maintaining your physical peak would be PRICELESS, in my opinion.

So, yeah.

Longer lifespan is not necessarily a good condition for accomplishments - I work a lot with complex adaptive systems, where all entities in them evolve. The longer the lifespan of entities, the more the system tends to go to a low energy state overall -i.e. tends towards laziness, whereas when the lifespan of entities is reduced significantly, the system tends to go towards a high energy state in a whole and the evolution speeds up massively. So basically the assumption, that a longer lifespan would make a race overall better accomplished is not a valid one.

This is why humans eventually took over Middle Earth.

Argonian.

I love their Lore and I wouldn't mind living in Black Marsh at all. Always wanted to explore it in greater depth and since Argonians are the only (living) race that can survive the harsh land, all the more reason to go Argonian.

AhPook_Is_Here

Redguard because of the way I'm hung.

RAGUNAnoOne

Argonian because A humans and elves are BOOOORING and B breathing underwater would be so cool. C Khajiit have fleas.
