Most misused race?

I ran a poll on the most used races a while back. Almost the entire player base is Dunmer, Breton, or Imperial. Very VERY low numbers for the other races. Passives I'm sure have a lot to do with that.

If you play a mage, altmer is way more versatile than a Dunmer. Dunmer are good though, with a very aggressive bent and make good mages. The Stamina bonus on a dunmer is actually good defensively along with the fire resist. The Fire damage is good for being a DK or fire staff wielder (and some templar and mages guild moves). The thing is an Altmer hits just as or very nearly as hard in flame damage, and can hit harder for every other element, with better regeneration. There's no reason to assume Dunmer or even Breton for that matter is better. Altmer-Dunmer-Breton are all great raw magic races.

If have not noticed by now, the akaviri race(vampire snake men) are also argonian race in some way and they are the strongest race of nirn.

That's Yuan-Ti from Dungeons & Dragons for you here...

Hey I love my argonian templar healer. He heals great and hits like a truck when he's dealing damage. While I don't have all the fluffy racial passives of a Breton, I got by and just learned to manage my resources better when healing dungeons.

With potion restored 8% and healing received 9% it's more easy manage resources, but you do less then others.

Yeah 8% extra back on a potion is much better than 21% flat regen...

Go all with 3 stats or try to craft utility potions named as "health" potions spend 30 cp on the passive to increase the effectivness of "health " potions , use 30 cp on incrase the healing done and recived, be nightblade and be a crafter in alchemy ; with all this togheder you are on par with the other race and with a single potion you can restore almost 20k health and 12+k magika+stamina.

All this without jewels gliphs.

Argonians are not so bad into one specific build, they suck in all the others

That one build being standing in a corner guzzling expensive potions?

(wait a minute, that sounds quite nice actually...) :P

This is precisely what my argonian is built for. I'd give up the silly potion passive any day though to get a form of Stealthy like bosmer and khajiit have though. I actually bought a second account just so I could play a proper sneakthief in the game. Stealthy is just too good in pve thievery. It often means the difference from getting spotted or not, even if you're wearing a detection reducing gearset with 5 pc. medium. Anyone who thinks Stealthy is junk is ignorant. Admittedly, Nightblade is the only race that can really take full advantage of stealth, thus funneling Bosmer/Khajiit toward that class.

It's only speculation that the Akaviri are literal snake men. Most sources indicate that when books refer to them as "snakes" they are speaking figuratively. Especially since we see ghosts and skeletons of Akaviri warriors in TES:IV Oblivion, and they are human.

The snakemen are said to have 'eaten' all the people. Who is to say they aren't some kind of metamorphosis from an original human stock, akin to vampires? The Tsaesci are a mystery, I think.

I find the most annoying characters in-game are either Argonians or Khajiit because they're the races the young kids seem to be attracted to. I appreciate there are lots of mature and not annoying people rolling those races, but every time I've encountered a screeching kid in-game, they've been one of those races and there's been lots of them.

hey my mains are a templar argonian and my khajiit NB and im 25

Nord everyone is a nord because of skyrim. Healers dps everything they shouldnt be.

Such a racist thread....

Honestly I don't see what's bad about Argonians. They make great tanks, due to extra hp and healing received. Plus the potion passive looks pretty damn good if they're using tripots.

Whatever you try to do with Argonian...

You're doing it wrong.

Oh yea? One word: RP

I rarely if ever see Breton mages, even the Breton NPCs aren't mages.

They are knights primarily.
