what is your LEAST favorite race, and why?

Ertosi

Moarmer
Because they're awesome but still aren't a playable race.

Creepy little gremlins.

Anything Human or demi-human.

Human's are awful.

Argonian

It's not that I'm a racist or anything. I find all the races beautiful in their own way.
But, it's the Argonian voices that get on my nerves rather quickly (sorry).

Argonian

I never wrote why I chose Argonian. I don’t like their npc voices, sounds like people who were heavy smokers and had to get their voicebox or whatever removed. Also their breasts are creepy. Also a lot of them have “dead” expressionless faces. Some individuals are more expressive and I like them. The Hist is very cool though. The whole idea of the Hist brings out the X-Files fan in me. I can’t explain it. I’m fascinated and disgusted at the same time.

Next worst on my list is Dunmer. Slavers and cultists. Betrayers and supremacists. The worst people I’ve met in Tamriel and I used to feel sorry for them when I saw their squalid conditions in Skyrim. Now that I’ve seen the past games, I’m not sorry for any of them.

Then Khajiit/Altmer/Nord are equal on my list. Some good, some bad, not interested in playing them.

Breton/Redguard are basically the same to me, boring humans not good or bad. Safe choice.

Imperials are my second favorite. Former slaves with a collective Napoleon complex lol. They are so complex and can be anything.

And of course Bosmer are my most favorite TES race ever. Even when they aren’t as gorgeous as they are in this game. I like Hircine and Clavicus Vile so it fits. Transformation, trickery, savage vs civilized, and they have a connection that is almost Hist-like to a sentient entity that is amoral aka Ooze/Yfrre/the Story. Good stuff.

Orcs are hideous.

I paid to win, but I lost.

Khajiit

It's not necessarily Khajiit themselves I dislike but the class that they are most closely associated with.

I'm opening a store in Blackmarsh. We'll specialize in lozenges.

The animal races: Argonians, Khajiiti, and Orcs.

Mudcrabber

Argonian

Love the characters, but always hated the passives. It's practically canon that Argonians may only be good for boots and swimming and nothing else.

Banana

Argonian

Hideous and have rooted several of my air conditioners

Anti_Virus

Argonian

Plus khajiit, and bosmers,
Furries and lolicons is what I see when some ppl play them
Plus the names ppl give these toons are ridiculous

Tigerseye

Dunmer

Any race that keeps slaves.

Sheezabeast

Imperial

I have never ever ever been able to make an Imperial that I've kept. I always spend a good hour or so making one, only to find them completely ugly and underwhelming when I play them, and delete them out of boredom. They always look bored, or have a far-away look. Really bland to me.

Argonians are ulgy lizard people.

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.

Don't you think that is a bit offensive to most Bosmer players?

Most are not going to be like that.

My Bosmer doesn't look like a little girl, at all.

She's quite tall (for a Wood Elf), doesn't have pigtails and basically just looks like a slightly shorter adult of a larger race (like a small Altmer).

They, obviously, have very weird lore, but that doesn't mean they all think that way and at least it is based on them being less civilised, rather than evil, per se.

The Bosmer Hireling breaks away from that lore, on his travels and becomes far more balanced and independent minded, for example.

As opposed to the, supposedly, more "advanced", but knowingly exploitative, slaver races; who are far better educated and so, really, have no excuse for behaving like that.

Even then, I assume there would be individuals who didn't think like that, in any society - so, I tend to hesitate to say I dislike any race, in general, even in a game.

Dracane

Dunmer

From the tamrielic races, Dunmer. Arrogant and proud acting, even though they have nothing to be proud of. They are impure and corrupted.

But my most hated race by far, are the Maormer, Sea Elves !
Cunning, despicable rats and arch enemies ever since.

This thread is racist.

It's worse than that, actually, as some people seem to be assuming that every Bosmer player is into children and every Khajiit player is a furry.

So, it's highly prejudiced against huge swathes of the playerbase, let alone some fake races in a game.

Of course, they could just be trolling...

This as well. Bosmer characters with breast-sliders to maximum combined with girly faces and the pigtail hairstyle are horrible. I can't do anything against it, and I am really, really sorry about this, but if I see it, I always picture the player behind it as a single, elderly man who also finds enjoyment of the unhealthy sort in TV shows such as "Toddlers & Tiaras" and "Here comes Honey Boo Boo"

Why would they have "breast sliders to maximum" if they liked children?

Children don't have breasts, let alone large breasts.

If they make a min height, straight up and down Bosmer, with a proportionately large waist and no breasts, then maybe...

What you're trying to say is that you imagine they like young (teen) girls, not tiny children.

But, even that is a huge assumption.

You might have a point about the choice of pigtails, but that is about it.

I just hate scaley things, fish, lizards etc.

I will gut it like a fish if I can.

Bosmer males are the only males without a five o clock shadow which is why most of my characters are Bosmer.

Lol, my Bosmer male has a five o'clock shadow and silver hair, just like all my other wood elf characters in other games. But at least in this game he can wear his pigtails with pride!

TheShadowScout

I... don't think I even have one "least favorite" race. I mean, maybe humans... all of the boring humans... because I am a little bit of a xenophiliac and like races that are not human. Or maybe Khajiit, but that is mostly because of cat puns and a cavalier attitude towards crime...
But in the end, I don't really dislike ANY of the player races.

Wanna see me a race I dislike? Show me one where I go "Nope, I'd never make a character for those" like the sea-sloads from summerset...

Glass

Orc

Orcs no doubt, ugly as hell and they are bis for stam dps. I'm still hesitant of changing my redguards for the simple reason of appearance.

Racists. All of you.

Shame.

Imperials because I don't like imperialism, corruption or elitism.
