Imperial Addiction?

heaven13

My 'main' is a Breton templar healer, who I love to pieces. She can DPS fairly well also though not high enough to be super competitive (which is okay since that's not what I'm aiming for anyway on her). Unfortunately, she's 'good' thus will never get the thieves guild/dark brotherhood achievements.

I've got a town of other characters, all under level 25 (except my crafter who was going to be my main except she's specced as a tank and it's painful to play solo overland with her) and most of whom I haven't developed enough to get a feel for their talents/skills. I've been rounding them out or getting rid of ones I hate to reroll. Problem is, I keep wanting to create Imperials. I try to vary my classes/races/skills so there's enough of a reason to play a different character, but Imperials just seem to call to me most. Am actually considering changing my Redguard stamplar into an Imperial because I dislike her so much (which I know is gonna cost me, but I'm more than 1/3 of the way through horse leveling so...)

Anyone else have a race that they always end up with, even when trying to branch out?

CheepsNSalsa

Dunmer for sure

Panda_iMunch

Yep, I always end up a cat. In WoW, i always ended up a Dwarf and then Panda when they came out.

Style is end game after all!

Breton definitely. At one point I had like 5 out of 8 Bretons. Then I got it down to 3 which is where I'm at now. Ironically, one is a mag dps, one is a tank, and one is a healer. Bretons. All 3 are also DC so that's a plus.

ArchMikem

I have four Khajiit, an Argonian Healer, and a Dunmer just cause I wanted a MagDK.

So 4/6 are cats.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'd originally planned on trying to have one of each race but that's just not going to happen. lol

I like DC as well (bonus of Imperials is that I can put them there without also buying Any Race, Any Alliance). As for Bretons, I think they're probably my second favorite. I might eventually make one or two more of those, lol. It was a really close call between Breton and Imperial for my latest character. What classes are yours?

Judas Helviaryn

The majority of my alts, as well as my main, are Dunmer Master Race.

Fittingly however, argonians are my guilty pleasure, my second favorite race to play, and second most representative of my alts.

I find it kind of funny that both are my favorites, because I started TES with Oblivion. I had no idea about the Dunmer/Argonian disparity until I came to ESO.

Go figure.

The dps is a clanfear petsorc (also my main and my first ever character), the tank is a warden, and the healer is a NB (or as they're apparently known, "Bloodmage").

Edit: I just realized that the order I listed them here was also the order on the character selection screen lol

heaven13

Derp, I just realized I could have looked at your spoiler. I probably should make something similar one of these days.

VaranisArano

I make a lot of Dunmer and Imperials.

Same.

Lyserus

I have 10 chars, 1 race each and 2 for each class...

Which is why I hope ZOS doesn't bring up new class or race, I wouldn't know what to do

Buy another slot? I have 9 chars now, so if we did get a new race (please give us Maormer), then I'd just buy a 10th slot and boom, my 3rd Sorc. (It'd be fitting for the race).

Imperials are in a tough spot in this game, lorewise. They literally have no homeland, unless you want to live among countless daedra that torture and kill you at the drop of a hat. It's actually kind of crazy seeing them go from literal ruins to dominating Tamriel.

Well, seeing as the next ruler of Tamriel is Tiber Septim, there's no telling what race of man was sitting on the throne. But I agree. Currently, for them, it's either live in a war-torn province, or live in the Gold Coast where they have pirates and assassins.

Tasear

No but clearly I am biased and spend most my time on my bosmer

phaneub17_ESO

FFXI - Mithra
WoW - Feral Druid
ESO - Khajiit

there's a pattern...

necr0o

I always end up playing a Breton in any ES game.. ESO no different in that regard

In Skyrim, how can you not choose Breton with their automatic 25% magic resist?

Ermiq

Magplar Dunmer, my very first toon, currently he's a stamplar & main crafter.
Magplar Dunmer, new one.
MagDK Dunmer, obvious choice.
MagWarden Breton, he's my main character so far.
MagWarden Dunmer, made him for leveling rewards, now I don't know what to do. I want a Dunmer MagWarden to be my main, so should I make him my new main or I'd better change a race of my Breton?

Long story short, Dunmer.

pattyLtd

I have
4 bretons (1 was race changed to it even though i had 3. already).
1 high elf
1 wood elf
1 redguard
3 imperials.

So I know the feeling

Aliyavana

my characters would be adorable lil bosmers if I didn't min/max

lol on one cycle of the PTS, I had 5 Dunmer, one for each class, and all five part of the same Great House (Telvanni). Their backstory was that they were from a smaller house (House Antharys) and were technically the last 5 of the house (later became 6 because I made another one). I had a MagDK, a Stamsorc, a Healplar, a Tank Warden, and StamNB. The 6th was a MagNB. I still have their character bios and descriptions written down on google docs somewhere.

The only one on live is the Stamblade, Dravyn Antharys, Telvanni Assassin.

Bananko

My one TESO character that I've played with since the game launched was (and still is) an Imperial Nightblade.

When Morrowind was released, I finally decided to create a second character (i.e. my first alt) since the Warden class is the closest thing to the Ranger class that I typically play in fantasy-based MMO's. As it turns out...

... he ended up being Imperial as well.

Ch4mpTW

I understand that feeling, OP. I’m the same way, but for Altmer and Redguards.

aethericAnuran

I normally stay far away from elves. Don't why I don't care for them. Here I've got one Redguard, a Bosmer, an Altmer, two Dunmer, my joke Argonian Speaks-to-Manager, and my main and additional Orsimer. I'd probably make a Khajiit if we could choose Ohmes-raht.

but what race/class should him/her be if there is a new class/race?

I have 1 of each race, 2 of each class and 5 male 5 female... unless the 11th race and 6th class （and 3rd gender?!） introduced at the same time, my OCD will kill me X(

Well, you have 10 characters right? There's 15 character slots already. You just buy 2 more slots and make one of them stam and one magicka. A bit more complicated with extraneous hypotheticals like "3rd gender", but then you'd just beg ZOS for 3 more slots I guess.
Edit: upon further thought, you make that new race (if we got a new race) a health DK tank, and a health Warden tank, although I guess you'd probably want more tanks if that were to happen.

YamiKuruku

Khajiit and Argonian x'D

I have two Bretons, an Imperial and two Dunmers but the rest are part of the the beast races orz
i know your feeling

D0PAMINE

I have 1 of each race 2 of each class.
