    Imperial
    My choice is biased because I always played Imperial or Nord in Oblivion...

    Favourate racial passives though - Altmer :smile:

    And on the contrary, not every cat-loving woman is lonely. Happily married for 30 years here.

    According to lore purely, my favorite races are Khajiit, Argonians, Redguards, Orcs and Nords.... but in ESO I prefer playing Altmer due to passives :/

    Yeah, try an Argonian - I sacrified my Dunmer for an Argonian. All say, this is the worst of all races, but I think Argonians have a passive which is a "sleeping beauty" which just has to be kissed with some creativity to awake and shine - the ability to make better use of potions, I mean. There is IMO something to find, with some creativity, which might give an edge.

    When it comes to the "looks" in game -> female Woodelf, Altmer

    When it comes to playstyle and race bonuses: Breton, Dunmer

    ..because I love playing magicka builds as a mostly PvEer.

    true, sadly not a lot of choice
    which brings up a pet (groan) complaint of mine
    why limit us to a set of pre-made avatars?
    if they want to keep us to ESO-related avatars at least they could let us use character screenshots

    I just can’t decide

    Altmer - because magic racials and I like their architecture & style in general, but I don’t like the yellowish eyes/skin and no dark hair, their haughtiness, and in ESO the tall character’s animations look soooooo sloooooow it just annoys me even if I’m actually going as fast as everyone else

    Bosmer - for their looks (short, dark hair & green eye options), their giant tree cities/houses are awesome, they look so spritely and fast animation-wise, but I’m not into all the bone stuff or the cannibalism, and since I prefer mages the stamina racials aren’t great for me

    Breton - good magic racials, cutest of the humans, I like their architecture and style, but I’m really more of an elf person

    Khajiit - for the kitty-ness and accent and sneakyness, but I’m not really into their overall style or their reputation for being theives

    I've fallen hopelessly in love with the Dunmer.

    For starters, Dunmer culture (particularly when playing Morrowind) has a FEEL to it that's just hard to beat.

    And could the Tribunal BE any cooler?

    I'm also an Altmer fan, because - along with the Dunmer - they have the longest lifespans of all the mortal races. Can you imagine how much more fully you can master a set of skills when you're living three or more times longer than everyone else?

    Can you fathom what Einstein or Muhammad Ali could accomplish if they were in their physical prime at 150 years of age?
