    Dunmer are similarly snooty, but there is an understanding that they can, and will, feed you your own nose if you get cheeky. Altmer just prance off with their nose in a sling.

    that's funny I cannot stand dunmer, I didn't really mind them too much and knew that a lot of TES3 fanboys exist. but man after playing the morrowind expansion, I just cannot for the life of me stand them, there will never be a time or game or any kind of mechanic buff that will get me to play that race.

    I don't hate them and for the most part I enjoy quests that involve argonians but no other race annoys me as easily as they do. And I could never, ever actually play one myself. The one argonian alt that I have only exists to hoard my furnishings.

    Bosmer
    I really detest Bosmer - small, annoying, I don't like their accents or their lore. Cannibalistic, backwards-way-round, tree-hugging hippies.

    I did this one quest where they held a wizard's wife to ransom while he saved their village, then threatened to eat her. If I'd been him, I'd have fireballed them and their stupid village to the ground and left them to burn in Hell. Stupid, annoying Bosmer.

    Never liked them in any of the Elder Scrolls games.

    Bosmer.

    Annoying, cringeworthy accents on the NPCs, annoying quests, ugly appearance, disgusting lore.

    Plus, they are overhyped on the forums due to their "cuteness" etc, which I think is nothing but cringy because a lot of pictures posted around here show female bosmer with pigtails and childish faces, and they mostly look like young, little girls. Therefor, this whole"bosmers are smol, cute and waifu-material"-hype gives me creeps everytime I read it because of the Lolita/Pedo-vibes I associate with that.

    Can't make a general statement so I guess I'll break it down.

    Bosmer, because their racial passives don't reflect their lore.
    Argonians, because their passives are mathematically lacking the most behind other classes thanks to a misjudgement on ZOS' part.
    Altmer, because their architecture is not nearly as grand as it should have been.
    Redguard, because frankly their lore doesn't sound very interesting to me (opinion might change).
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    Imperials because if you already have created a Breton, you will realize they have the exact same character creation choices and voices.

    They are basically the stamina version of Bretons with no unique passives that make them unique...

    Nope, I love them all, at least from single-player TES games point of view.
    In case of ESO, I like it when content meets lore/racial characters foundations of previous games. If not, I simply shrug-off it as nonsense.
