Dunmer Sorcerer
How good are they? Don't want to be the best but not regret the race decision later either, I've had a wood elf sorc and enjoyed it but turned her into my main crafter. Altmer sorc was great but she looked like she should be grabbing rebounds instead of xp, Breton female faces actually look like a basketball. Is there a significant drop off from a Dunmer to these two?

✭✭It doesn't matter much unless you are trying to squeeze out some extra dps for veteran trials or leaderboard speed runs, that sort of thing.5 -

✭Depends on your build. Dunmer specialize in fire damage, which, unless you're planning on using flame staffs, isn't going to make too much of a dent. But they have some base magicka and stamina buffs that work just fine for just about any build.
If you want to min-max, Dunmer isn't the literal best choice, but it gets the job done. No reason to avoid it.Edited by BlackSparrow on June 16, 2017 9:07PMLiving vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

✭✭Depends on what you want OP.
IMO High elf or Breton are top choices for sorc.
Dunmer are still brilliant for mag dks.Once I was a lamb, playing in a green field. Then the wolves came. Now I am an eagle and I fly in a different universe.

Good for you! Although it's close to blasphemy around here, I think you ought to play the race and class you want, it's not all about Min/maxing (puts on combat helmet). I hope you have a great time with it.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I have a Bosmer magplar and a Bosmer magsorc and a Bosmer magwarden. I would never dream of any other race and my little elf does just fine. So unless you are after top meta elite having every single thing optimized, I wouldn't worry about it. By the numbers, a Dunmer should be a better sorc than a Bosmer. One bonus is that you have a viable choice of fire vs shock moreso than other races playing sorc.
Playing the race I want overrules any and all racial traits for me.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo0
