Race = Player Personality

Nord: Chill people that enjoy the game, OR people that can't let go of skyrim and want dragons.

From my experience:

Wood Elves:
These players seem to enjoy being as small as they can get while busting damage. I don't know, these players seem to find that comical and will ride up to you on their mount on purpose to show how tiny they and their mount are.

definitely a thing. something about sizing up with a high elf/orc/nord is funny to me.

I am a high elf, as tall as you can make them, so it looks comical when you see the shortest Bosmer and tallest Altmer on the same mount next to one another. I have a screenshot of this on my PS4 somewhere so I suppose I find it funny too.

This is purely for fun, and shouldn't be taken as serious by anyone reading it. What type of player do you connect to a certain race? Any specific personality trait, game performance or unique quirks? Please keep it neutral and refrain from mentioning people or names. It could be things like...

Khajit: Talks a lot. From my experience, the people playing Khajiit ALWAYS have something to say.

Dunmer: I've found a lot of Dunmers that focus on lore, and quite a few roleplayers too.

What is your experience with the different races, and the players behind them?

Can we make a poll and see how many females have at least one khajit ?

Wtf... Why?

“If you have to ask, you’ll never know. If you know, you need only ask.”

Dude... That's just wrong. You say that like it matters or changes something, if a girl plays the race.

I only made a couple of high elves to test a few things out, but my main chars are an orc and imperial so what does that say about me?

You can still be saved.

I have to say it takes personality to roll an Orc or Argonian, they are ugly af. Funny enough I only ever met a single one orc female player and she's very pretty IRL. Nords...everyone want to be a badass which means less than 90% are actually badasses but wannabe badasses. Bretons and Imperials seems to be your average folk with average safe choices in lore/appearance. Every Khajiit player I know is a *** furry, I don't know what's up with that...Filthy altmer/dunmer are usually good players that go for the min/max, especially back then when DK VAMP was the ***. Bosmer...only ever saw 1 male one and he was pretty crazy, leader of CN...now bosmer females are everywhere, I'd wage most of them are a 7' tall males playing from prison.

I did make a joke lizard char that I may start playing more often soon though, soils-their-armor just was too tempting to pass up for one since most of the joke imperial names are taken

Rake

Im Dunmer and I like lizards.

Azurya

playing 15 chars currently in all Races, so think I can say, I am pro-diversity )

Minnesinger

I don´t think many choose their race based on the lore. That being said I like the high elves. The best and the rest are a little less perfect.

I've always favored Dunmer and Breton. All my characters in all the TES games I've played have been one or the other -- and I made a point from Oblivion onward to also respect the setting's province by making at least one character of that region.

So, my main, and my most played alt are Dunmer and Breton -- but also one of each other race

I don't know what that says about me...

Generally mer, but mostly dunmer.

My main is Basil, an aristocratic Altmer vampire and very ancient. As a character, he's been with me since the original Morrowind days, becoming a vampire at very low level, just hours after I created him. I have created him into every Elder Scrolls game since. His vampirism now defines him and is interwoven with everything he does. Basil looks after 'number one' first and foremost, but always tries to maintain a healthy balance. Probably 'neutral evil' describes him best. Tall, handsome and loves the ladies!

Mogwai Plushy-Fur, my healer main, is Khajiit and she is a short, plump, motherly type, much like the cat she is named after. I made her as a tribute to my own cat after she died at the end of a long illness. She had a litter of kittens and was a perfect, nurturing mother - thereafter, she mothered any kittens I happened to bring home. (I rescue cats!) I miss Mogwai very much still.

Feel free to make what ever poll you like, as long as it's following the forum guidelines.
I could use the information for my social psychology studies ^^

Altmers: Edgy people
Dunmers: Edgy goths
Bosmer: Edgy cannibals
Khajiit: furries
Argonians: furries but worse
Imperial: humans so casul
Nord: humans so casul
Breton: humans and elf so edgy casul
Redguards: I can't say anything or i'd be sued even if the context isn't controversial
Orcs: Edgy but rude

Lady_Sleepless

My main three are Argonian, Altmer and Orc... make of that as you will.

Your scrutinous accusations concerning my witticisms has nothing to do over my hubris on Argonian Culture.

I'm sorry I just had too.

Can't argue with this logic.

Sapphire_Lily

The majority of people pontificating on the voicechat are playing as Altmers. Altmers love to assert their opinions as 'diplomatically' as possible but they offend the Dunmer elitists. Silly arguments ensue.

Bosmer are vindictive and like to send vitriolic messages after they've been killed.
