Argonians, for obvious reasons.

1. Their architectural apex? Mud huts.
2. Live in a swamp.
3. Reptiles.
4. Best slaves.
5. Weird voices.
6. Have tails.
7. Did i mention they are the best slaves yet?
8. Never had an empire.
9. Slaves.

Argonians, Bosmers, Khajiits, and Orcs should be expelled from Tamriel.

Don't forget they make good handbags

Ok, I'm gonna have to stop both of you right there. Argonians have perhaps the coolest looking architectural design - I'm not talking about the mud-huts that many of the slaves or refugees are often pushed to create. No, I'm talking about the massive Aztec-themed "Xanmeer" structures. Argonians have had an empire. It was a long time ago and they had it disrupted by a race called the Kathringi, who eventually died off in Black Marsh as well.

Argonian Xanmeers are RUINS for a reason, much like the Ayleids, only the Argonians kept primarily to themselves in the Marsh. There are VERY few Ayleid ruins that far South for a reason. The only species really capable of surviving there are the Argonians themselves. Also, being that Swamp is a completely hostile environment to all other races but themselves, their region is naturally fortified. Also, they have mentioned in texts of having a "king" and having "royal assassins" plucked from birth as Shadowscales.

Remember, Black Marsh is a BIG place and Shadowfen really doesn't do the Argonians or the region justice!

What does that have to do with them being good handbags

Breton

Bretons. They are so generic and boring in ESO, and all the women sound the same.

Altmer

The elves no doubt about it. It's their inflated egos, greed, and politics that have caused much of what has inflamed Tamriel. And their pointy ears.

Enslaved

Breton

All these fools speaking about handbags - not a single handbag was seen in any TES game. Please, stop being politicaly incorrect R word.

Altmer

darned high elves,they keep eating my left over pizza!!

I wish I could have chosen two. I dislike Argonians and Altmer equally. Argonians because I don't like the way they look and Altmer because I don't like the way they act.

I especially dislike the Telvanni. They are a direct ripoff of the Drow of Menzoberranzan - slavery, backstabby politics, etc.

All Dunmer are essentially Drow with lighter skin tones. I am 99% sure the Drow were the inspiration for the Elder Scrolls dark elves.

Breton

Breton definitely!
Their Lore is really stupid and boring. And I don't like Their look, they all have the same unpretty babyfaces....
And Emeric... He is a annoying. He is not a King, but a drama Queen.
And thinking about Lady Laurent...

Sload for sure.

This one votes for Dunmer. They look just... wrong? Too sharp lines, weird eyes and those unhealthy skin colors. And let's not forget their arrogant attitude.

Altmer

I've always hated the high elves cause they are so full of themselves. After playing Caldwell gold and seeing what they tried to do to the argonians. **** the altmer. They all need to die

Vercingetorix

Nord

The people who vote for Altmer being the "worst" are just Skyrim players who erroneously believe that the Aldmeri Dominion in ESO is the same one that's featured hundreds of years LATER in Skyrim. The FIRST Aldmeri Dominion (in ESO) was "good" - yes, there were rotten apples among the bunch, but even the Thalmor were "good".

The a-holes you meet in AD's questline, The Veiled Heritance, are the elitist snobs that eventually become the second, evil Aldmeri Dominion you know and hate. After Tiber united Tamriel under his empire and the first AD was no more, the Veiled Heritance conspired to create a new, "perfect" Dominion with only the "elite". A newly formed Thalmor became their enforcers to rid those unworthy from the Isles, eventually spreading outward. Eventually, the War leading up to Concordat is what you currently have in Skyrim.

So cut Kate some slack, ok? She's leading a good group of people who want to help guide, not enslave or dictate, other races for PEACE. The Veiled Heritance are the ones that want all non-Altmer under their heel.

So should i hold the dc accountable for necromancy during ep storyline or any of the factions accountable for rogue actions?

Damage reduction passive is useless due to how it's calculated. If it gave a flat 6% separate from other sources of damage reduction, it might be competitive with imperial.

other passives are simply inferior to what other races offer. Damage is inferior while not offering better survivability than Imperial or Orc.

Is it calculated after other mitigation effects? The game description does not specify.

Ill give you the first 2, but saying their racial skills offer nothing you cant get for free is just plain false. They have primary stat bonuses to health and stamina. You cant get that for free.

Dwemer.

I can never find any of their crafting recipes, their toys keep trying to eat me, and they never return my calls.

Never liked Orcs in any of the games. Just couldn't play them. Though I do like a bit of their lore.

Thing is: lore wise, they are awesome. The entire story line of the Ansei and their Shihai, the Ra'Gada warrior wave, Yokuda and its Atlantean inspired lore - its ALL soooo awesome.

BUT

It's undeniable that Todd Howard lazily took every real world race of color and threw them into one race. It's like, African, and Arabs and Indians mashed into one race. Then they realized, "hey this might be racist" so they made the redguards this pseudo Japanese Samurai (Kensai = Ansei) honor bound epic warrior race.

come on Bethesda. . . who are you trying to fool?

If you studied African History you would know what all those references meant. The Redguards are based off of the Moors whom were African from West Africa North Africa and all the way to The Arabian peninsula. Most were dark skinned but not all as you know.

Also look up African sword fighting techniques and names you would be surprised at what you would learn.

Almost all forms of damage reduction in ESO are multiplicative. This includes basic things like block.

Standing still with no gear and no cp will give you:

base damage * .94, or 6% reduction

Simply holding block in heavy armor with a basic CP setup can give you:

.5 (block ) * .66 (~22k resistance) * .9 (10% ele defender) * .85 (15% ironclad) = .25, or 75% damage reduction

Include Rugged and you get .25 *.94 = .235, or 1.5% damage reduction. Add tank sets and buffs/passives and that number gets even lower.

@Anti_Virus Props to you for knowing your stuff, and being gracious enough to drop some true jewels on these forums. Lowkey you just literally sprinkled all types of diamonds into the hands of folks here, and most aren't even aware of the gravity of what you just explained. Kudos to you.
