    Breton
    But if I'm honest that may soon change to an Altmer………

    My original characters were all Breton...……. I'm currently weighing up whether Altmer may be better I have duplicate characters that are Altmer.

    Tbh it's 50/50 atm :)

    If I was given the chances to guess the outcome before the poll the 10th chance I would have said Breton.

    Just an example of how the forums don't reflect the population at general. ZoS have already stated that Altmer have the most characters created.

    I'm Breton because in every ES game I'm dual wield/bow breton as first choice, just love stealth options if available.

    Doesn't matter that my breton is a stamblade, and definitely not meta, its right for me

    Of course the poll is "main", not character created.

    My guess is that this poll does not line up well with what would be seen in the game.

    300ish votes has a margin for error of +/-6%.

    There is nothing flawed about the poll or biased.

    Other than it probably doesn't line up well with what would be seen in game. How many people exclusively use their main?

    My guess is the vast majority have a "main". Defining the vast majority isn't so easy, of course.

    I just think it's interesting that we have so many Breton mains, as it wouldn't have been my first guess (or 2nd, or 3rd or 9th).

    Because Orcs are awesome, that and my main is an Orc Dragonknight.
    I know what you di-Iddly did... (you would be wise not to do that again during a time when Suspicion in the gaming space is at an all time high.)
    by not actually revealing real drop tables in the game for all items, you only prove what has been proven with proof of concept that you can/will manipulate item drop chances based on certain elements performed by the player.

    Right now, my main is my Redguard warden. I hope that doesn't have to change.... I like Sha, and she's fun to play. We'll see how that goes in the future.

    If it doesn't go, well.... I don't know what I'll be maining.

    @lordrichter I have my "original" main which often only serves as my 9 trait crafter and then I have my "secondary" main which if people are looking for something I can play at a reasonable and consistent level is my go to :)

    Both are Breton :)

    Altmer
    I've always played an altmer in the single-player games. I prefer to play magic users and have never enjoyed playing a Breton. I prefer a character who can reach the top shelf of a bookcase and one that isn't quite as impervious to damage as a Breton.

    Dunmer
    I used to only play Breton mages in Skyrim, while my only progressed character in Oblivion was a rather..greenish blue Dunmer. And in Morrowind I only played Redguard warriors.

    In this game it just happens that Dunmer is my pick.

    I wonder what I will play as in ES6..

    I have no preferred race - but I found that I play recently the most with races, which I did not play that much before - Nord and Argonian. IMO both races are pretty good for the warden class when played solo and PvE. Especially I found new love for the resourcefulness of my argonian maid - I never really made use of this ability before, but I am getting to like it more and more.

    Imperial
    Imperial, of course.

    Ever since good old Morrowind, where I started playing Elder Scrolls long ago, my characters were Imperials.
    The race that brought all the others together in an Empire where everyone had the chance to prosper and be part of something greater.
    Plus (back then in Morrowind) - boni on social skills. ;)
    The Empire in TESO might be a shattered ruin, ruled by traitors, but my Imperial will keep fighting for the true ideals of the Empire as it should be (Hail, Uriel Septim VII !) ! With the Daggerfall Covenant, by the way.
    And he's a Dragon Knight, because, well, how could you be an Imperial and not want to be a Knight of the Dragon ?! (Hail, Akatosh !)

    Being a single player gamer at heart, my main is also my only character. Or at least the only one I really play.

    When the level-up advisor was released he was far beyond level 50, though, so I started and leveled a 2nd char to get the cute boni (the horse, pet, costume and so on).
    She's a Khajiit, because they've become my 2nd favourite race (I loved their local part of the Dominion main quest, it made me appreciate them so much more). But I don't think I'll do much with her, now that she reached lvl 50, because, as I said, I'm a one-character-per-game kind of person.

    PS: Imagine my joy when I discovered that I needed to buy the Imperial Edition (or whatever it is called), just to be able to play my favourite Elder Scrolls race. *rolls eyes* I did it, of course. Clever move, ZOS.
    And then I had to create some dummy char to enter the game, because I had to buy that Imperial thing in the crown store before I could create an Imperial, and I didn't know how to get to the crown store any other way (is there even a way?). Agh.
