They’re a human species with elven ancestry. Most people don’t refer to them as half-elves anymore.
Anyway, on topic: I chose Breton bc my first character and main is a Breton haha. I’m surprised Dunmer isn’t #1, as in most TES circles they’re everyone’s favorite race. But I’m glad to see some other races getting love too.
That's actually an interesting conundrum. Assuming that all Breton's started out as half human and half elven, if they each reproduced with other half human/half elven Bretons, their children should be some mixture of human and elven. So unless the human dna (dominant) is passed down more than the elven dna (recessive), the offspring should continue to be roughly half human and half elven unless they breed with other human races. At which point they'd no longer be pure Bretons, but Breton-Nord or Breton-Redguard etc.
That is exactly what happened.
The original half-elves bred with Nedes and Nords, diluting the elven blood, and the result were the Bretons (and Reachmen).
It's actually similar to what happened to Neanderthal genes. Most non-Africans are part Neanderthal, but there haven't been any half-Neanderthals for tens of millennia.0 -

Tai-Chi✭✭✭✭Nord (Skyrim-Dwellers)"Children of the Sky". The chosen ones.- They work hard. Just look at all those ships and fine weapons they build and forge.
- They fight hard, are tough and can survive in harsh climates - where others would soon perish.
- They also know how to play hard too. What is the point of living if one cannot let their hair down once in a while. Hospitality is key to daily life.

ZOS recently stated in their 4th Anniversary announcement that High Elf was the most popular race with 14.8% (from memory) of all characters created.
Do you have a link to this? This is interesting! I thought so originally though, in most guilds I see there are High elves.
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-gb/news/post/26349
Scroll down to the section "ESO TURNS FOUR!". I see my memory was slightly out, the actual percentage quoted for High Elves was 14.98%.
Thanks!@Tucker311- PC
