I, for One, welcome our new Breton, Orc and Nord overlords!

Siohwenoeht

Thx for the consolidation! Most excited for my Imperial, my PVP altplar is secretly excited as well

I already want to change three characters to Dunmer so I can go both magicka and stamina depending on how I feel. There’s almost no downside to playing dark elf. Can finally give PvP mag DK a go.

Stx

I'm not sure I'll change any of my current toons. My main is an imperial templar that tanks and stamina dps.

My nightblade is also an imperial but I dont play him anymore.

My "druid" character is a magicka warden breton.

My magicka templar is an altmer.

All strong after the patch. I might use the token in the future.

This is quite ridiculous. I can't even fathom how or why this would be useful, in PvE at least. Can't say anything about PvP, I don't do that.

I've already spoken at greath lengths about this change everywhere appropriate, and then some more. This is an insult and a disgrace. Many bosmer characters where created to be stealthy thieves or assassins, and non, I'm not talking about PvP gankers. I'm talking about sneaking throug ha delve to hit the boss only, getting whatever you want somewhere without being seen, and so on.

But the Maths Team decided that only one race should be stealthy, and decided that would be the Khajiit, because Elsweyr. Even yhough the Bosmers are culturally as stealthy as them, and even more so inclined to be thieves. Heck, they have the rite of theft, their most well-known epic is "the 1000 benefits of hiding"...

And strictly game wise, stealth detection has no use whatsoever in PvE, as there are no stealthed enemies EVER.

Also, it won't help for the bow gankers "problem" in PvP. They'll switch to khajiit for the crit bonus instead

Simply put, this change sucks.

Rugged: Increases your Physical and Spell Resistance by 3960.

Can't say I'm hyped about that. My nord stamina sorcerer tank already exeeds the resist cap, so this will have no positive effect for me, while the damage reduction percentage was very handy to top that. But I guess that's juste me, there

Starlight_Knight

Bosmer got a raw deal there... Loosing stealthy and gained a weird dodge roll thing, not cool.

Love most of the others though.

"15 extra minutes on drink buffs"

Hahaaa Alcoholism.
