    Wood Elf is my main since Morrowind on PS2, I just wish they had more in depth history. It seems Bethesda has kinda glossed over Wood Elf lore and made others more enriched and detailed.

    Same as in every TES game - Redguard. Dunno why - I'm not "dark of skin" (uh, about as far from it as you can get without being albino) and I hate heat and deserts.

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    That statement summarizes most of TES V: Skyrim, Argonians before ESO, Altmer before ESO, Khajiit before ESO, etc.
    Maybe my Morrowind bias is showing... lol
    Or maybe Bethesda just didn't have writers who cared about in-lore cultures which weren't associated with the region.

    Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made.

    I play healers or DPS often for vet dungeons and trials (NA, CP810+). I play mostly elves or Argonians.
    I primarily play Damage-Based stuff in PvP, but occasionally I'll play something tanky or got the heals.
    I also love gaining more knowledge both metaphysical and mundane regarding TES lore.

    I also occasionally role-play, but I prefer playing the game.

    As you said it's because Khajiit are cool and all.
    Altmer just aren't a bunch of cool people. They don't have the swag like Khajiit.

    Altmer is arrogant, Bosmer is cannibal, Dunmer is slaver, Orc is Orc, Imperial is bureaucrat, Nord is boring AF, Breton is intrigue, Redguard is hobo, Argonian is boring also.

    It's rumored that Khajiit are slightly sneaky, but at least they are cute lmao.

    Bosmer and Nords are my favorites from strictkly enjoyment perspective. I have grown more fond of Dark Elfs after Morrowind.

    Over my gameplay time in ESO, I have also grown to like Breton and Kats.

    High Elfs, I still cannot enjoy playing. Too much hatred from lore.

    Redguards are too META for me. I am the type of person who hates being told that I have to play a certian way and Redguards have been the best Stamina Race almost since inception. I would more than likely give them a better shot if they weren't the most over preforming stam race.

    Orcs and Kats are fun and have their place. I have a character of each.

    Imperials are nice but behind a paywall on PC (on console, I got them from launch with the way things turned out). I do not see the need to pay money for a race that I have little interest in playing since the game is more geared towards magic than stamina in most instances and cosmeticly, they almost mirror Bretons.

    What is your favorite race in Tamriel and Why?

    I like Brentons due to their background. Also like the idea of a half-elf, that doesn't look anything like an elf.

    You can give them pointy ears on the facial customisation view.

    Nord
    Nords > Dark Elves

    I like Nords, not because Skyrim, but because of the Old Ways, the Ancient Nord pantheon. Ancient Nordic lore is very interesting, especially how they view Lorkhan/Shor as being the champion of men as opposed to being vilified by Altmer. It's different and unique from the standard religion/mythos, which was created by merging (changing) all the cultural myths into a weak-sauce version of itself. (Redguard is fairly unique, to be fair).

    That, plus the fact that Shor (although dead) always reappears in the form of avatars and mantling. These dead Nordic heroes always seem to pop up in history.

    EDIT: Dunmer are a close second because there is something very satisfying about them, as a people, thumbing their noses at Altmer society and beliefs.
