The red head step children of ESO are High Elves, Templars and Aldmeri Dominion.
I could write an essay comparing conveniences, mats bloated delves next door to capital/start town, node drops, capture towns' placements in Cyrodiil, terrain advantages, not the least siege placement around keeps, and many other things to DC and especially EP. But neither I nor anyone else (or devs) GAF so...
I have been disappointed with NPCs not recognizing players of the same race. Morrowind is a really great example of this. Not sure why I was called and outsider with my new dark elf warden.
The game doesn't tell us where our characters were born. Why would it automatically assume it wasn't Vvardenfell? It's a pretty strange experience as a new player to be immediately met with hostility from your own people. At least in the original Morrowind the Nerevarine was always an outsider as per the prophecy, but here there's no such reason.
Captain Rana could tell and even was surprised if you asked her about your own race.Somehow all NPC's know that I am the Vestige but they can't tell if I'm an Altmer or maybe an Argonian just by looking at me?
... ZOS logic

Also, I doubt the Altmer have the same problem with members of their own race.

If my Altmer gets the same snooty "what are you doing sullying our perfect homeland with your presence, tourist?" cold shoulder as a Nord or an Orc it's going to seriously break immersion.
Think the high elves will get anything special when Summerset is released? The high elves have kinda gotten jipped so far. We only have 1 house in Auridon, we hardly have any outfits available specifically for high elves, and I font find many craftable items for high elves. Think that was put off, knowing they were going to eventually doing Summerset? Think we'll get special items just for high elves?
