The title pretty much says it all.

In the last weeks we all have been discussing the racial changes a lot and I am interested to see which races will be favoured in the upcoming update and beyond.

Keep in mind it doesn't matter if you race change or not, I just want to see which races will be the most / least popular ones after U21 hits live servers.

Feel free to discuss any race-related topics and explain how or why you made your choice.

I'd please you to not turn this into yet another complaining thread about racial changes. We already have more than enough of them where pain points and issues can be discussed, this thread is just to get an overview about race distribution in U21.

    15 chars - of which 1 may get a name change & 2 others may get a role change but none will get a race change, if I go down that rabbit hole there will be no returning, just the change race every update or so

    Name change is a early access 'mul'e naded as such, which the crafting bag makes redundant, the others are just try something different...

    My main has always been a Bosmer and it's going to stay that way because she's cute, useless new roleplaying passive and all.
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    My main has been a Bosmer thief for 4 years and will remain a Bosmer. I will have +3 free skill points from that ridiculous, useless passive that grants stealth detection, I'll have to gear differently to retain some form of stealthy gameplay, but I simply refuse to switch to Khajiit.

    Chose Breton but only because that's what she is now. Even if she'd gotten hit hard with the nerf hammer, I wouldn't race change her. I won't be making use of any of the tokens for any of my characters, except maybe to make some cosmetics tweaks (though I am still undecided about even that).

    My main fully researched crafter sorcerer whom I have had since 2014 has always been an Altmer and I see no reason to change them despite their lore suddenly acquiring stamina recovery contrary to 15 years of established TES canon. :p

    Imperial
    Throughout the Elder Scrolls series, Breton has always been my favorite race.

    However, in ESO my main is, and always has been, Imperial.

    Im shelving my magic characters until ZOS fixes the mess they made of them, and Im really not sure what to do with my Bosmer now as shes no longer a stealthy thief/archer.

    So yeah, Im glad I still have my 3 Imperials at least and those are the ones Ill be playing for a while..

    I will also change one char into a Breton, but mainly because I want to re-roll him as a Necromancer with Elsweyr.

    Possibly Breton - depending on how significant the change is. I've been told they are removing the High Elf's racial bonus to magicka regen (which was why I picked the race). So if I notice these changes having an effect on my ability to maintain my magicka I'll likely give Breton a try.

    I don’t think any of these changes warrant a race change. I’m keeping my main as a Breton because it’s always been the first race I make in every ES game.
