Which race is getting not enough love from zenimax?

derkaiserliche

Which race you would like get focused more in the upcoming years?

This includes areas to quest and discover, houses, furniture, mounts, motifs, npcs and lore mostly.

Bosmer. No new zones, no new houses, hardly any house guests, and the obvious…

No Stealth!!!!

Elsonso

Argonian? There are books written about this. I think they got plenty of love.

Bosmer (Woodelf)

As an Altmer main, I'll be disappointed if the new chapter or next year's is not Bosmer theme.

Lumenn

Argonian

There's too much undiscovered lore with the Argonians, and let's face it, unless TES 7 sheds some light on it when it comes out 50 years from now ESO is the only place to do it. Let's uncover the mysteries of the xanmeer, why are the other Argonian races(like the Sarpa, the naga) ignored? We know all about the different kahjiit ones but I'd bet many reading this post never heard of the Sarpa.

The Argonians seem meek until they're not(the ONLY race that had the daedra retreat and close their oblivion gates when they tried to invade. The knahaten flu. Just two examples) They have their own plan from the Hist(also shrouded in mystery. We know only a part of their power, and it's beyond impressive) In the long run it seems like the individual Argonians don't matter (slavery for example) and in general they don't care what the mer are doing, so they let the children play until it's time to act. Then, they completely destroy.

I want to know more about this non mer race that may have been more advanced than the Ayleids way before the Ayleids came to power, and then let it go to become "humble". I want to know more about the race that "fell" to slavery, yet no ones strong enough to reach the center of their land. I want to know more about this "humble" race that were slaves, yet were also the only race that had the daedra crap their pants.

Altmer (Highelf)

Barring Summerset altmers were only rarely used as a side characters (and no, I don’t consider vampires from ravenwatch to relate to anything altmer related or enrich lore of anything other than vampires themselves). No altmer companions, no major protagonists, barely any house, zone or significant objects related to them lorewise. 1 dungeon is probably the best thing they got in years. Hopefully, next chapter would have altmer companion at least.

Bosmer (Woodelf)

Absolutely its the Wood Elf! We've lost our identity, our bows have been decimated, and NOT much in content is ever made for us! Even a class that should be a natural for us (Warden) is better off in other races hands.

Bosmer need better passives for stealth and bow, and have the least in housing of any race (a tree house would be grand, and way more furnishings, including ones not looking utterly primitive, as you can make things beautiful and intricate from bone and leather, and the bosmer have magic as well).

Orsimer have, in my opinion, the best treatment in game with Orsinium, portraying different aspects of their culture. There is an assistant and one houseguest I think.

Altmer I feel are neglected characterwise, often reduced to an arrogant power-grasping caricature. Not that that’s always bad — Rilis the XII is a great villain — but more variety and nuance would be welcome! And how do we not have a single altmer houseguest, companion, or assistant?!

Humans, we have lots of human everything, including human houseguests of all races, and two human companions. The only ones that I think are somewhat neglected are the Redguards as their passives are comparatively lacking and they haven’t had any dedicated chapter or DLC. They would also be the most interesting of the human cultures to explore more, not being based on ancient Europe (nothing wrong with that, except that it’s been overused in fantasy settings).

Honestly, if they got rid of ganking, the Bosmer race would be totally irrelevant

Mesite

Argonian

Argonians are so passively weak. We need the hist effect from Skyrim. Or a spear weapon skill line like in TES 3. Or more feathers.

Bosmer are 5 X better.

But maybe more Bosmer lore would be nice.

Bosmer, argonian, and redguard could all use better (and more lore appropriate) passives. Why do argonians have a bonus to healing? Max resistances, yes, but healing doesn’t fit with the lore as far as I am aware.

Tommy_The_Gun

Argonian

Argonian & Wood Elves are both getting short end of the stick. The difference is that Wood Elves got a lot of content in the base game (their entire home land is already in the game), but Argonians only have one smaller zone in the base game and one story DLC.

Both are lacking, but imho Argonians actually have smaller amount of content.

Tandor

Dwarves!

I know it's a lore issue, but I am always really disappointed with any fantasy world that isn't inhabited by dwarves, but then that's because my favourite RPG character is a dwarf and I'm frustrated when I can't play him!

Bosmer (Woodelf)

Except Bosmer are still not as stealthy as before, four years later. In fact, Bosmer are the least stealthy race in ESO, as passive stealth detection alerts hidden enemies to our presence before any other race. Their "hidden" eye will open sooner when a Bosmer approaches.... however the Bosmer will still not be able to see them sooner. And this has been thoroughly tested and proven in other threads.

Bosmer (Woodelf)

The Bosmer got some ugly furnishings, only two armor styles and a handful of old houses. They're not my favorite race and I can't get enough Imperial content, but it seems pretty clear they're the most neglected people.

Bosmer still waiting on that Stealth update promised all those years ago... The fact that this hasn't been addressed years later shows you just how unserious some 'leaders' are about the game.

Think how popular a bosmer chapter would be

Imperial

Bosmer -> Eveli
Redguard -> Sai Sahan

Seriously, with those role models why would anyone want to play them?

Sallymen

Bosmer (Woodelf)

Gonna be real. Anyone who votes dunmer or imperial are 100% wrong.

Wood Elves have been the most neglected in terms of housing, lore, content, and cosmetics.

Remember when we had the Bring back the bosmer stealth passive to 99 pages before ZOS deleted the whole thing.

How are they “role models”? They are individual characters. I liked Eveli and her character arc in Orsinium, then she was brought back as a one-note character from what I’ve seen in Blackwood.

Ideally, there would be varied characters of every race. Altmer I feel suffer the most from caricatured portrayal.

In terms of DLC and chapters, Orcs got a zone, Dark Elfs got 2 zones, High Elfs got a zone, Nords got 2 zones, Cats got a couple zones, Argonian's got a zone and a chunk of area's in Blackwood, Imperials got a chunk of area's in both Blackwood and catland, Bretons just got there turn.

So I would say its time for either the Wood Elfs or Redguards turn.

Redguard

....and Bosmer.

The_Titan_Tim

Redguard

Redguard and Bosmer definitely need the most work; passively Redguard is near useless, and both races need an expansion to expand upon their lore.

I’d also like to ask for the record, who designed the Bosmer homes in ESO? Because I think they took the term “treehouse” a bit too literal…



The direction they went with these is hideous, and if they do any future “treehouses” I would much rather a traditional fantasy approach.

LunaFlora

Bosmer (Woodelf)

Bosmer! there's only one dlc bosmer motif, three houses none of which are notable,
some bits of furniture from when furniture got introduced, and no dlc at all.

their houses are just snugpod, two snugpods, and then three snugpods. a giant tree like the Cormount treehouses right by Gorinir Estate would be so cool to have as a house.

a bosmer chapter could be the drowned coast islands south of Greenshade that aren't on the eso map but are on other maps. or falinesti.

give us more bosmer content please. bretons had hardly anything before 2022 but at least they had more house variety.
