What is your favorite race? I am not talking about how good they are at Templar, I am talking about who has the coolest lore.

    A tall, intelligent race that's skilled in magic. Minus the racism and pride, what isn't to love?

    They essentially utilized genetic engineering through selective breeding to modify and better themselves. They have mages so powerful that they get really old (Vanus Galerion), or ascend past mortality (the Wilderking/Queen)

    They also make good Templars.

    I like to play as a Nord. Was one in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, too.

    Other races that I find interesting are Khajiit, Orsimer and Dunmer.
    I am indifferent towards Imperial, Saxhleel and Redguard people.
    And for various reasons, I cannot play as Altmer, Bosmer and Breton.

    khajit but i like dark elf just as much. They have similar lore as azura/ azurah has a big emphasis on how these two races came to be. :)

    Azura cursed the chimer to be dunmer

    Khajit worship the moon, which is what Azura embodies. (moon and star ring for example)

    WiFi must have been too weak at the coffee shop earlier...

    "Argonians all the way, baby!"

    Funny that I never played them from Arena through Skyrim but I leveled 4 to max rank with the old vet system (one for each class) and kept another as a low level storage alt for ESO.

    By Elder Scrolls Lore its the Nords, hand down.

    But actual in game in ESO, a lot of lore is broken or does not make sense, so i went for a dark elf in ESO only.

    With an exception of the Dunmer, Bosmer and Khajiit the rest of the race belong serving their betters. We are superior after all.

    Mannimarco and the worm cult for life. Those who do not serve us in life will serve us in other ways :)
