Eww imagine thinking Argonians are ugly when you have pasty Bretons, wrinkled mouth breathing orcs, and resting (you know what) face high elf and dark elves. I’ll take my colorful Amazon Argonian healer over that boring nonsense any day

But khajit are the superior choice

Really? Bretons, Altmers and Dunmers are uglier than lizards? Chain smoker lizards, even. I'm going to bet the Sload have better sounding voices than those cursed lizards.

Gods bless the Telvanni for keeping them away from civilized places. I'm sure they're also planning on cutting them down for being treasonous snakes after the events of Morrowind and Oblivion. I can't wait.

For people outside Europe Bretons have different, unique and interesting culture.

Bretons are the only human race that are halflings. Half Elf and Half Nord. Far more interesting than the others IMO.

Bosmer

Bosmer because cannibalism. Not fond of Dunmer either. Also I don't really like Orcs all that much even though my main is now one.

Khajiit

Honestly shocked at Altmer, Argonian and Orc hatred??

Obviously if you're a skyrim baby you've been fed propaganda to hate the Altmer.

People crying that orcs are ugly... implying orcs need to be pretty for you to like them... they're supposed to be cursed image of a god that was literally consumed and defecated.

Argonian hate really??? The Oblivion crisis and all the mortal races being sacked burr the argonian people?? The emperor that United tamriel invading everyone's homeland even Summerset but not these argonian homes.... give the lizards respect.


I despise these Khajit because the skooma addicts, the whole moon makes you either a house cat, mount or even fur less khajit that looks like a mer is so cringy to me... the literal peasant race of tamriel.

The opinion of a High elf/Dunmer player

Orc

Orc, I dislike the me bash attitude in their culture. Nord are in second most disliked for the same reason. I am surprised at the Argonian dislike. I enjoyed Murkmire and Oblivion thou.

colossalvoids

Breton

Too little/bland culture representation in eso particularly compared to previous titles. Can't say I hate any race but kind of biased against bosmer ultra-baby-face lovers and ones crying for stealth in zone chats 24/7, not race related but more about people who have some particular image in their head and forcing it to others like something given.

Curryganz

Bosmer. Tiny, smelly and downright ugly to look at (well minus some of them gals, who happen to be sexy). When my Altmer strolls past one of them the perpetually disgusted face is more than appropriate

Vanya

Breton

I knew it, Bretons on the bottom , their are plain annoying,simplistic,too "common" have very weak and un-intriguing lore Their lands and structural desgin suck as well, Bretons have few content , Bretons were already finished with base game and never even got any DLC, Oh that womanizer Breton the way he is portrayed is disgusting.

Orsinium actually made me like the Orcs.
I’d make an Orc character if I had the time to play him but I have enough alts as it is

Nord

-Breton: People say they're bland but I like them. You got the medieval civilized theme mixed with the wild theme of reachmen. They're half elf half human which makes them unique. Also they're easy to make.. not ugly.
-Redguard: I really like these - their society is divided between old and new values, and they're a warrior culture that's evolving unlike...
-Nords: Viking theme and shouts.. I find their culture very stagnant and it's very cliché.. "Humans are awesome, die in battle". kinda a meathead culture...
-Altmer: while I can't stand AD this people is high fantasy at its most pompus, narcissistic level. Massive superiority complex. I love their architecture, Summerset and strive for excellence..But they could use an attitude adjustment... A much needed villain.
-Orcs a nomadic race - the "outsider" who's bullied by everyone but makes the most of it. I enjoy their "Trinimac/Malacath" eternal conflict in society. Flaws can be interesting.
-Dark Elves - Probably the most unique of all the races. These are almost exclusively Bethesda's creation. Highly intelligent amd morally deeply flawed. Interesting race.
-Argonians - followers of the hist and probably the most kindhearted race... which also makes them target of oppression. The Argonian tale is yet to be told - and it will be interesting.
-Khajiit - an extremely spiritual race at its core with a hint of thievery and smuggling - interesting contrast. I really like these.
-Bosmer - Hippie cannibals - what's not to like.
-Imperials - The roman legion. The other villain together with Altmer. They go back and fourth in the power struggle. Sometimes Altmer society is on top sometimes Imperials. Many interesting spin off societies (Ayleid for Altmer and "nedes" for Imperials)

Imperials being only at 5% makes me happy, 100 personality voice of the emperor boys.

Easily Khajit. Why? Because I want to play one, but their racial abilities make me cringe.

AutumnFall93

Imperial

Honestly, the Sea Sload, but since they’re not an option I’ll go with Imperials, who I do like as I generally like something about all the playable races in the Elder Scrolls, I just like the Imperials the least of all, and find the Bretons slightly more interesting.

Any elf. Elf weak. Orc strong.

Orcs are elves, you know. Skyrim confirms they're still 100% mer when you take the blood samples for the transmundane quest.

Altmer. Every time.

All of the arrogance, none of the effectiveness.

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.

You've perfectly summed up how ESO (and Skyrim) ruined the Altmer for all time.

Never forget.

Altmer

The Altmer/High Elves. They're usually horrible people.

And the Bretons. For the way they killed both Gaiden Shinje and Baloth Bloodtusk.

caperb

I don't really dislike any of the races, thus I don't have a least favourite. I actually like the cultural setting of almost all races.

I still consider Argonians to be slaves though, and perfect for making leather handbags. Khajiit are not on this list because I like cats.

Altmers are the best, they deserve to rule Tamriel. Bretons come after as they are the human's with Altmer blood.

Wing

Dunmer

considering the average should be 10%

argonian are far and away the least liked race, with altmer being a distant second, orc in third are exactly average at 10%

and everyone else is near or well below at average on least favorite.

interestingly i find that both dunmer and altmer tend to act relatively similar about their distain for outsiders and blame the difference in statistics on mainline TES games. altmer were the "villain's" in skyrim and morrowind has alot of fans.

people really hate the scalies though.

Hapexamendios

Don't hate any of the races. Khajit, Orc, Wood Elf and Imperial are the ones I use the least.

Argonian

SO I was right with my guess XD:

Any race other than ork, altmer or dunmer.
But Argonians are the bottom. Still my main and half of my other chars are argonian. Don't understand why so many people hate lizards

If I had to guess, Argonian is the race with the least players playing it.
Not many people enjoy playing a lizard.
That may be the reason why it is more RP centered and less effective in combat.

Anyway, ZOS should buff the Argonian race so it will be better in combat.

I find nords stuck up and arrogant about "pUnY eLveS" bro big muscles don't =better. I just love elves ad they are magical, and they may be arrogant at times, but not always. The elves are also very misrepresented by imperial propaganda.

The only elves I truly think are cruel are the maomer and ayleids. Rest are great.
