Which of the 10 races would win in a brawl?

Azyle1

A fight, a battle, whatever. If we give each race weapons/magic that they "lore-wise" are familiar with, who would be most fearsome? Which race would be the easiest target?

I know this seems like a hard to answer question, but it's just for fun.

I really have no idea, so I just thought I would make the topic.

I assume Argonians would be tough to fight in Black Marsh, but maybe weaker outside of that?

VaranisArano

In a brawl? An Orc.

In a drunken brawl? A Nord.

ghastley

Wouldn't a Telvanni (Dark Elf) just levitate out of range?

A Psijic (High Elf) would simply disappear, like Artaeum did.

The Nord would be lying on the floor drunk before the brawl broke out.

Depends if the combantants are drunk or not, if they are drunk, the Nord wins. Otherwise, I would say an Orc

Nightfall12

Honestly it depends on the circumstances, if it's an all out Melee where they are all rushing in I think the orcs birds and red guards all wear each other down fighting honorabley. Then the backstabbing bretons dunmer and slippery argonians will take out the weakened fighters. Then the altmer will declare them all less civilized and purge the undesirables. but then the the bosmer will show up and snipe the lone high elf and proceed to eat the FAllen combatants. Finally The khajiite who's hidden backstabs the fat happy wood elf and wins.

Not in front of the Orc, LOL!

I'm saying the Nord undoubtedly has more experience fighting drunk.

MAEK

I'd say khajiit, cuz claws.

Sixty5

One of the magicka races most likely

Lightning bolts hurt a lot more than punches, and can be delivered from range.

Anotherone773

Bosmer... you ever tried to fight a little wiry fellow with the dexterity of a squirrel?

Nightfall12

Oh man I see my thing auto corrected N O R D to bird lol somehow that's really funny to
Me.

MajesticHaruki

Oh boy, you dont wanna fight a drunk nord

With weapons? A Redguard, both in terms of game mechanics and lore.

Without? Definitely a khajiit. In game mechanics they're the only race with an unarmed bonus. In lore, they're renowned for their numerous martial art styles.

Note I'm going by the singleplayer games in terms of game mechanics, particularly Morrowind as it has the most detailed descriptions of each race's strengths and weaknesses.

Im gonna say high elf cause eventhough i play as a breton (so this is not bias) the high elves have very very powerful people such as the psjic order (assuming its an all race war where all memebers of each race partake in the war). Bare in mind the psjic order are one of the,if not the most, powerful group in Tamriel. They can control time, even stop it meaning they could end the fight before it even begins. And thats only the psjic order, imagine what else the high elves have in store for the other races.

For Argonians it heavily depends on if the Hist get the Argonians worked up in a frenzy. During the Oblivion crises the Hist called upon the Argonians and got them into a berzerker fury so that when Oblivion gates opened in Black Marsh, the Argonians invaded Dagons Deadlands and caused so much havoc that Dagon closed the portals himself. They out destroyed the Deadric Prince of Destruction.

Ok thats quite impressive, never though argonians were that powerful.

@psychotrip is definitely correct. Without weapons, Khajiit.

TelvanniWizard

Dunmer.

Qbiken

Nerf stamina

WillhelmBlack

Whichever one is wearing Earthgore.

Nelson_Rebel

Depends.


If you are inlcuding magic allowed, it's gonna be an altmer or dunmer who wins in a "battle". Lightning and fire hurt will destroy faster than a sword swing.


If it's only with melee weapons, then of course it's gonna be a Redguard or Nord. These two races both are well versed weapon warriors

In a brawl? A Orsimer is gonna win, sorry I dont care about khajjit claws, they will just *** an orc off while he breaks their body in half. Seriously these Elves are some brutal people lol. But they have that whole "malacath" thing going on from when Trinimac was an Aedra but was turned into a Daedra. So I dont even know if they are "elves" proper


The other races have other ways of winning fights

The Wood Elf.

Those who fall, they eat.

Those left standing, they eat.

Logey7

Orc because orcs are nuts, probably Mike Tyson the oppents and eat their ear or something. Although nords when they get drunk could do some serious damage

Exactly! With Altmer using magic in a tavern it will be long after battle before anyone else get his weapons ready.

But as for more 'traditional' brawl, I'd say that Redguard will win. Orcs are pure power, but can be rather clumsy, while Dunmer/Khajiit are agile, but will be KO after first hit. And Redguard is somewhere in the middle, physically weaker than Orc but compensating with technique. Not sure if those are only my prejudice, but Redguards seem to me to be much smarter fighters than Nords.

I'd say thats a fair point. But that would be getting into the Individual characteristics of the person.

As a race Orcs are born very big and very powerful, and they are all traditionally taught to
fight and battle through means of combat. It's their literal way of life.

Redguard has this to, but to a much lesser extent because they are far more numerous and dont have to be as extreme as the Orsimer do because they have a definitive country and culture. Unlike the Orsimer who live in remote secluded clans with very little cohesive government other than ESO's timeline and even then it's flimsy at best

But Redguards is more the "way of the sword" rather than brawling. But I wouldn't put it past an exceptional Redguard to best an Orsimer in a brawl combat, but I think that would be the exception in a skilled redguards case. And thats ecluding the particulars orsimers skill as well

If the nords are allowed to use the thu'um then i'd say the nords

Pretty sure that the psijic order doesn't only consist of altmer

The thu'um isn't nord specific. It's just dragon language.


To date every Psijjic has been an Altmer, but yes I'd agree they most likely aren't Altmer specific.


Sotha Sil knew where they are as he said he'd go inform them personally. He may even be an honorary psijjic himself since his power exceeds all theirs combined but it still plays into his Clockwork city project

and a photo of 3 psijiic monks from the new summerset and one is a khajiit.

Well there we go. The Psijjic monks are not all Altmer.


Just started out in Summerset Isles as Altmer
