    Nords. Their passives need some kind of a buff/rework. Bosmer in second (although I adore them, I have one) are very squishy and need at least 20k hp to survive most content. (Observation from healing them in dungeons/trials seeing them one and/or two shot even having BiS build)

    What is up with you folks who hate a race for something that they do in the future? And not even all of them. Just some of them. Lmao. Matter of a fact... How in the hell do you even hate someone for something that they do in a different era from the future? Just think about how that sounds...

    Person A: "I hate Bob."
    Person B: "Why?"
    Person A: "Bob pushed me down some stairs a few years from now in the future."
    Person B: "..." :|
    Person A: "Bob is evil I say! Evil! Damn him for what he does in the future."
    Person B: *Walks off.*

    That's exactly what a lot of people's hatred for Altmer sounds like in this thread. Lmao. :D

    Umm... Not really. The Altmer are not terrible people. I highly advise you go over your lore again. If you find being a perfectionist and never being satisfied as being a terrible person, then I don't know what to tell you. The Dunmer? Yes. They believe in slavery, and have a lot of messed-up practices. It's to the point that they were cursed even, as they got too big for their britches (metaphorically speaking).

    Actually most of the races have some messed-up practices, you can't really find one without them....Imperials maybe since they are one of the most 'civilized' societies within the lore.

    Nords are by far the worst race in ESO, mechanically speaking. The architecture and culture is interesting, but from a gameplay perspective, Nords are spec'd for tanking yet Argonians and Imperials are better suited for it. It's a shame.

    As far as the "best" is concerned, I have a few favorites:
    Gameplay: High Elf - the strongest passives for any non-DK magicka build (I despise stamina - lacks build diversity)
    Lore: Khajiit & Argonian - These both are tied for me as both of their gods and culture are among the most unique.
    Aesthetics: Literally every Breton female you encounter during DC's campaign is gorgeous.

    What crazy stuff do the khajiit do? Other than the fact that they are good thieves (which all races can be) I can't think of anything "messed up" they do, other than few odd individuals.


    Also imperials atempts to attack and take over other races' contries for no real reason other than greed and as shown in Skyrim they don't care about the people they have taken over.

    So Redguard, Breton, and Imperial are the least worst races according to this poll, all human races. So that would make those three the most favored.

    Personally I don't have least favorite, but the poll is interesting.

    ... and secondly bosmer. What are either of them really any good for in the game? Stamina DD is better as Khajit or even redguard and orc compared to bosmer. Tank I Think imperial and argonian better than Nord.

    Why are people saying Argonian? Argonian right up there as tank or healer. I think they are significant choice.

    Nord is basically the only race where I cant figure out a situation where they might be the best or close to it. Nord is a garbage race. Even for tanking, they are blah.

    Dunmer- Great Magic race, best for DKs.
    Altmer- Go to magic race for just about everything else.
    Breton - Still very good magic management, arguably meta healers.
    Orc- Good melee damage and can make for really unique PVP builds with their speed.
    Bosmer- Amazing stamina regen in PVP
    Redguard - Arguably the Best all around stam race, best combo of damage and sustain.
    Khajiit - Arguably best PVE DPS and excellent gankers in PVP.
    Imperial - Solid mix of Damage and survival. Arguably Meta for tanking.
    Argonian- Arguably meta for both Tanking and Healing

    Nord- What would you say you do here... You suck at everything except RPing a drunk Skyrim Fanboy.

    This is why the Altmer desire the dawn time and want to get rid of Nirn. Tamriels folks are insufferable and biased.

    Ignorance, bigotry... No one is created to be a slave, not in ESO nor irl. Also, for someone who hate Dunmer, you surely could fit in house Dres with ease.

    Also, about false gods. Who on Nirn are you to tell any race in ESO who to worship? Some worship aedra, other worship daedra, there are various tree and beast cults in ESO. All of them have some power/boon. By your standards, all but Sithis are false gods, so all races are crap.

    Damn I really hit a nerve. Glad my joke lured one fish into the pond though.

    This is only partially true. Not all of the great Dunmer houses support the use of slaves.

    Altmer should be running away with this poll but I sense the forum is full of fancy, festive Mer enthusiasts.

    Because it's easy for people to stay on topic when they're talking about something they hate. Hatred is the one universal quality that we all share, it is what binds us and makes the world turn. Now let's sing a chorus of Kumbaya. :)
