Poll: What’s your main (character‘s) race? (2020)

Seraphayel

Title says it all. Adjacent to the class poll I started yesterday I would like to know which race your main has / which race your main race is. I know this might depend on Stamina / Magicka builds but I am still curious what’s the most and least popular race.

Raisin

Argonian

Can't stop making them.

Danikat

Khajiit

Khajiit. Morrowind was my first TES game and I was a bit disappointed when all the choices seemed to be humans or elves, then I found the khajiit and argonians which were much more interesting to me because I'd only played one other franchise with cat and lizard people. Of the two the khajiit worked better for the character I wanted to make, so picked that, and my first and main character in each TES game since has also been a khajiit.

Bucky_13

Dark Elf

Dark Elf & Redguard. Have 2 mains depending on which content I do, doesn't have to do too much with min/max, I just like those races the best.

BlueRaven

Poor Bosmers. 😞

SidraWillowsky

Wood Elf

I mean she's TECHNICALLY a Breton, but she's only a Breton because Bosmer do really, really bad with magicka, especially right now.

I'M PRETENDING SHE'S A BOSMER OK. And I guess I'm gonna say I have two mains right now- stam DD and mag DD. The stam toon is a Bosmer

BisDasBlutGefriert

Dark Elf

Started out with a stamknight DW Nord for the first couple of years. As I got better at the game and progressed further and further, something just didn't seem right with her. Like the combat flow was a bit rugged in feel.
Switched to dark elf recently as my main, and have been enjoying that one a bit more now. The combat seems more fluid for my playstyle and she continues on crushing her enemies...bis das Blut gefriert. Until the blood is cleared.

Breton

Master race.

Starlock

As a storyteller/roleplayer, I don’t “main.”

I have a...

• Altmer lightning mage
• Khajiit n’er do well and reformed healer
• Imperial artificer
• Dunmer ashlander exile
• Bosmer woodswoman
• Orc psychopomp

ShawnLaRock

Wood Elf

I HAVE 17 characters - 16 of which were created with attention to race, class, & resource - buuuuuut my Main is, and will always be a Bosmer... ‘cause it’s the first one I made; for the achievements; and y’know - the fall damage modifier.

Bekkael

Nord

My main is a MagDK Nord. My second most played character is a Breton Sorc. I have 7 characters and they are all different classes, but all magicka. No interest in stam.

PrimusNephilim

Breton

Right now I'm maining a Breton Templar

Cirantille

High Elf

Tall, blonde and gorgeous

Also pours magicka

Breton

Breton because I can't stand ugly! No matter FOTM builds, setups or minmaxing. Beautiful first!

karthrag_inak

Khajiit

17 of 18 cp toons are khajiit. Last one is wannabe argonian.

xclassgaming

High Elf

Altmer!

wolf486

Orc

Technically my main is a wood elf since he was my first, but I've been logging in with my secondary mostly now which is an Orc.

tomofhyrule

Orc

I used to go Bosmer all the time since I liked short characters. But seriously, I've always wanted to go full tanky barbarian playstyle, and Skyrim really sold me on Orcs.

Orcs need more love.

Khajiit

My main is khajiit and will forever remain khajiit. My alts change races now and then, very unstable 😉

svartorn

Breton

Breton.

Started out imperial but race changed after 3 years.

Ye_Olde_Crowe

Imperial

My first (now defunct) ESO char was an Orc, and my secondary char is an Orc as well. My main, however, is an Imperial... and it's fine because both Orcs and Imperials are my favorite TES races.


PS: As for other games with cat and lizard people: I really loved the Dracoids. Even more than the Hulines...

GrimTheReaper45

High Elf

Highelf, never will change.

Deathlord92

Bretons for life oblivion, skyrim, eso 🙂

Kelces

Argonian

My "main", As far as completing content of all sorts, it's my first character - an Argonian.

However, closely followed by a Bosmer.

AzureButterfly

Breton

My main needs to be as short as I am IRL so I can hit raid bosses in the ankles.

MartiniDaniels

Dark Elf

Dunmer magblade & Bosmer stamDK, both created in 15 minutes on free ESO trial without any knowledge about builds, parameters etc.. never changed since. I have toons of almost all races and specs, and whom I race changed/renamed/changed appearance... nobody of them feel immersive and alive like first 2, idk why

Veesk

Argonian

Always and forever Argonian.

logarifmik

Breton

Breton, who looks like Lenin. Long live anti-capitalism struggle.
