Every race can do everything. Some are just a little better at it than others. I have seen orc mag dks absolutely obliterate people, and altmer rangers do the same. Every race can do everything effectively. Some just are specialists.

The problem is, most people don’t respect this. It’s annoying to deal with these people when playing a build that’s opposite of what’s expected of your race.
They have a point regardless. However good you are without the proper racials, you’d be even better with them. They need to do away with racials. They’re completely unnecessary and restrictive. Goes against what they wanted from OT.

Come on, some characters just come from another culture. Not every Khajiit is born in Elsweyr.

I would have liked to play as a dark skinned mage in this game. Can't do that if you plan to min-max.

This actually bothers me a lot too, because Redguards look fabulous in robes. And there are virtually white shades of Redguard, but there's not many darker skin tones for any of the other men races.
I'd be pretty upset if they nerfed my OP Argonian racials love that swim speed mmmm but over all I don't think the game would hurt from taking another pass at racials.
I love TES lore and things as much as many people here, but....
The “play as you like” crowd is getting a bit out of control here. ZOS is already homogenizing the classes to the point where class choice doesn’t even have to factor in to what you want to actually play. Taking racial passives out of the equation will just make everyone out there equally good at everything. That’s not how anything works.
Hard pass.
