what is your LEAST favorite race, and why?

Thannazzar

Altmer

All Thalmor are scum!

Phoebe

Argonian

Argonians are optically not appealing to me, and I simply can't identify with an Argonian character. I really tried and created one when Murkmire was released. Also, their lore and culture remain rather mysterious to me.

I didn't really like Orcs before ESO either, but here you can create some nice looking Orcs and the Orsinium DLC offered a nice peek into their culture and tradition.

Orc

Before anyone posts Mannimarco memes, no nothing has changed since the last post, this thread is still relevant and reflects personal opinions so it's redundant to make a new one with the exact same title.

Orcs are so ugly, I literally have to look away from the screen every time I get a close-up. Definitely not looking forward to Cadwell's Gold... Mauloch's abominations

Josira

Altmer

'Altmer. act all high and mighty until you leave them in a puddle of their own blood.'
ok oblivion quotes aside,Mechanics: always the go to race for all magic users. 2kmax magic and 250 spell damage if I recall correctly. thats...just...insane. then again im guessing a lot of stam races have overtuned stuff like that too.
Lore
their pricks. always. even the most heroic or well meaning of them finds some way to act all high and mighty.
Hjaliti cant be born faster
Dear lord Im racist for a race that doesnt even exist.

Appearance
Both High Elves and Dark Elves and even their Chimer Predecessors are still close to generic Fantasy Elves. Dark Elves have cool lore reasonings behind stuff. High Elves are just..'haha yes we are elves from *insert generic fantasy setting* we are high and mighty and tall and better then humans even though we just have pointy faces and pointy ears. im going to go cast some spells. for I am an elf and thats what I do'

Other Race stuff
Wood Elves have interesting lore too. and some have small horns and antlers in eso. think it would be better if they increased the size of the horns and antlers,making them look even more distinct then the other elves,other then still being close to the other kind of generic elf race.
And even though Dark Elves have the most interesting lore and stuff,They are still close to DnD Drow in appearance. and well some of them are big on worshiping a giant spider lady. like..dnd Drow.
Orismer look better then a lot of other fantasy depictions of them. and their lore is pretty alright too. so dont have any dislike for them.
Human Races can be a bit generic. but that usually happens with human races in fantasy games. Argonians have cool lore but think Eso did a poor job of showing it. same with Khajiit,Eso did a poor job with the existing lore there.

Lizards. For years ive been subjected to hordes of players who dont die because of the OP healing. Carried by a race. Now its not so bad but still. F*** em.

Oh trust me back in the days of console release,they where terrible..yet I exclusively played them. the pain was real. then they buffed them to high heaven. I miss those days...
Used to be the worst race. then became really powerful..not the best race no that was still Altmer for magic users and....I think back in the day,orcs or redguards for stam?(think its nords now,dont really play stam characters). but right now Argonians are more or less...balanced. for now.

Breton

Breton just boring.

Argonian

This one was kind of a tie.
The last character race I would use is Argonian because no matter how I use the sliders in the character creation menu, their eyes ALWAYS creep me out. They make me think of those scary raptors from Jurassic Park.

The second to last character I would create is Dunmer (dark elf) because of their very angular, bony shape of their skulls. I have tried to make my characters have more softer facial looks but those sharp angles on their brow just kill it for me.
I do love their hair and eye color options though.

NEMESIS_97

Not matter what you like or not..orc for any stamdd...high elf for magdps..bretons,argonians,high elf,dark elf healers and nord,argonian,breton tanks...rest things not materr...

Aptonoth

Redguard

Redguard are so dumb they make orcs look like Rick.

On pvp dark elf is very good

Aliyavana

Argonian

Sadly, I am no longer able to type out what I truly feel, but I am glad to see that first place are those scalies.

Rasande_Robin

Khajiit

Unserious, the Jar Jar Binks of ESO.

Vignar_Giantsbane

Bosmer

I voted Bosmer even though I have two; think they look cool but I don't like how short they are (yes I understand that's part of being a "Wood Elf" and it's literally part of the lore) and I don't like their combat voices (sounds like a little kid).

I also don't like Orcs because they're... Not aesthetically pleasing to me (even though I miss out on some really nice Racial Bonuses there).

Gythral

cant decide
Orc = 'ugly
Bosmer = nurfed into uselessness

Ryuvain

Dunmer

For enslaving khajiit.

Second altmer for doing it a slightly different way.

Cadbury

Nord

Can't decide if Skyrim helped or hindered the Nords. At least the memes were funny for a minute or two, I guess...

Zodiarkslayer

Bosmer

Because every time you get a lowbie LA spammer, it's a Bosmer with a Bow.

RPGplayer13579

Redguard

Redguard, because all you have to do to get them to run away is to attack them with undead enemies. Not all of them will run, but a lot of them will.

Paha_Vaatturi

Orc

Orc. I feel pressured to make any stam PvE characters as orcs, since it overperforms any other stam race. I don't like how they look.

Cirantille

Nord

I like all and their lore

I picked Nord just because I think game represents them in 3 word: mead, mead, mead

Which is very boring

MasterSpatula

Altmer

The Daytona 500, because I'm not crazy about Florida.

vestahls

Argonian

Hippity hoppity beast races are property!

This post was made by the Dres gang.

FrancisCrawford

Argonian

Argonian by far. I don't like their looks. I hate their architecture. The mechanics do nothing for me. And the expanded lore in Murkmire didn't appeal at all.

Grianasteri

Imperial

Have I already voted, I assume so since I cannot vote now...

Anyway, has to be Argonian, I feel all other races have their use, but I have never found one for an Argonian. And I cant say I am a fan of reptiles either.

That said I do have one, a themed poison only stam DK. It works well and is enjoyable. I only chose argonian cos I was going for the whole reptile poison feel.

Edit/update:
Haha, OK I have voted, Imperial last time. Definitely between Imperial and Argonian, on reflection I do think Argonians have less use, as Imperials make good tanks.

What about their nice passives for healers or tanks?

Muttsmutt

Redguard

i don't like sand.

and what's all this argonian hate?!
people don't like swamps?!

(i don't like swamps either)

Nyladreas

Breton

Generic boring western-medieval humans getting high off politics.

They're good mages though (which is just fantasy spice) so there's at least one + point.

TwinLamps

Bosmer

woodelves.
I dislike short races, to say it mildly.

rpa

Most. It's a matter of taste. For me ugly is fine but something in TES character art design, humans and humanoids in particular annoys me. Modding can more or less fix it but no such thing in ESO.

(Also thread necromancy.)
