What is your favorite race in Tamriel?

Breton

Breton

First char I ever made in Daggerfall: Breton Mage. Staying true to tradition

MythicEmperor

Dunmer (Dark Elf)

I wouldn’t call contemporary Nords vikings; they’ve grown too lazy for raiding. You could certainly compare them to the old Scandinavian peoples of the Viking era, however. Not every person was a viking, and vikings were only vikings while raiding; when they returned home, they became farmers and merchants again.

My favorite race has to be Dunmer. They know they are superior and they express this knowledge through slavery. Betmer are little more than animals and humans aren’t very far ahead. Without their Dunmer masters, they would be rolling around in the mud like pigs. Plus, I love House Telvanni’s Nietzschean philosphy of will to power.

aeowulf

Imperial

Has to be Imperial for me, because they remind me of the Romans (what did they ever do for us?)

dodgehopper_ESO

Argonian

Its a tough call but my first character in an Elder Scroll game was an Argonian. I always make an Argonian. I think Nord/Breton fight for the close second. I love playing Orc in ESO but in previous games I thought they were garbage.

Dunmer (Dark Elf)

Dunmer always, they have one of the most unique cultures and lore in TES and general fantasy overall IMO.

Imperials are a close second as Oblivion was my intro to TES over a decade ago, and the land of Cyrodiil and its culture still appeal to me. I'm also a Roman history buff so there's that aspect too.

Dunmer (Dark Elf)

I voted Dunmer, but I love all the races equally. Altmer, Argonians, Bosmer, Imperials, Khajiit, Redguards, Orcs, and uh
[looks at smudged writing on hand] "croissant elves" and "screaming buff dudes"

So as a Bosmer, you'd have ... absorbed ... most of the others anyway.

Imperial

For the glory of The Empire!

Second place Khajiit.
Third place Argonian.

TelvanniWizard

Dunmer (Dark Elf)

Awesome lore, culture and aesthetics.

Redguards

Redguard because i like their culture and those beautiful stamina buffs.

Tai-Chi

1. Nords the "Children of the Sky".

Followed by Breton and Altmer. All three share the same distant ancestry but the Nords appear to have adapted the most to fit in with the changing world around them, whilst not disregarding their roots.

Stonyfoot

Nords

Played Nords in all TES games, since I am one myself. Too bad they're kinda crappy in ESO.

2nd and 3rd places go to Bretons and Imperials respectively.

Xvorg

Argonian

Today is Argonian... tomorrow Dunmer...

But Imperial is clear my 3rd

Gargath

Argonian

Elder Scrolls would not be so much interesting without Lizard Folks. I was always starting games first with an Argonian.

It could only be Mythic!

Breton

Used to think Bretons were boring in other TES games, but ESO revealed to me their big medieval European influence, which I adore.

Altmer (High Elf)

Don't hate me because I am beautiful.

Breton

I would have chosen nords but in ESO they're depicted as simple-minded and always drunk (or hungover) berserkers. I liked them more in Skyrim where they were proud, quiet and fierce warriors who knew how to have fun but were never that drunk (there were some exeptions). Nords remind me of home.

The second best (and in ESO they're the best IMO) are breton. They're still human, although with more magical knowledge.

I like dunmer. I hate altmer, bosmer and ayleid. I dislike orsimer. I don't give a damn about snow elves. And I have mixed feelings about beastfolk but I tend to like them more than most elves.

Argonian

Argonian Master Race

Feryan

Argonian

I usually go for the aesthetically pleasing races, but surprisingly, after reading some of their lore, Argonians are now my favourite. And I love the tribal theme of their huts and clothing.

Bruccius

Imperial

Got to go with Imperials. By far the most advanced and civilized race. At least, when Cyrodiil stands united.

logarifmik

Breton

Same poll again, same answer. I like Breton culture with all these politics and chivalry. Lore-wise they are quite ordinary, yes, but for some reason I associate myself with them. Other than that, I like beast races, both Argonian and Khajiits. Other races have their great moments too, except maybe Nords, which looks to me like a common cliche of fantasy nordic people.

BretonMage

Altmer (High Elf)

I always play a Breton, but I find Altmer the most interesting race and culture (though tbh most TES races are interesting to me).

Vahlyance

Argonian

Argonians. I enjoy their unique behaviors and lore.
Plus scales are like natural body armor, come on, and that poison resistance? I had to.

geøstigma

Dunmer (Dark Elf)

Personally, Dunmer.

However, with each race being so distinct and well thought out, I find it hard to say that one is better than the other (other than Dunmer being actually better at everything than anyone else) from lore perspective.

Soris

Bosmer (Wood Elf)

Bosmer girls
Their voice acting are amazing.

Aside from that, i like Altmer and Nords too for their heroic looks.

I dont like Argonians at all. They are BiS at many things and I don't like this.

Minyassa

Khajiit

KITTIES.

I have yet to play in any other game that indulges my liking for fantasy adventure AND my liking for cat memes all at once.
