Let's focus on the main playable 10 races, so I will not add other or other major races to the poll (and we can only have 10 options)
Which race do you think ESO can explore more on? What culture is the least exciting or unique in your taste and in need of expansion?
Me personally feel like breton is lacking the most. Sure they are cool half elf and all, but they are represented in the game as your most classic western medieval culture, and the worst thing is their territory is mostly filled up, yet unlike bosmer who has the same problem, their culture is not illustrated well in vanilla (while bosmeri culture is quite special in vanilla)
Well I would say men races as a whole are less exciting compare to mer races and beastfolk, but imperial got ES4 and imperial city (and really the empire itself is the lore of imperials), nord got ES5 and upcoming skyrim (althogh I feel like vanilla ESO portraited their culture poorly), and redguard culture was did quite well in vanilla and craglorn, so bretons got the worst of it

there not there just boring lol
Bal Foyen is a dunmer region with one argonian settlement - so it at the very least needs to be counted half-half...cyclonus11 wrote: »Dunmer

Bal Foyen is primarly Argonian, however the main city is not Argonian. A bit like Greenshade for Bosmer.TheShadowScout wrote: »Of the choices presented, I would think argonians, closely followed by orsimer.
Argonians -still- have so lot of history left ondiscovered... still have so much of black marsh to filled in... there is a lot of potential there.
Orcs also get the short end of the stick in many regards, although they -are- often involved "en passant" in other covenant zones, so there is that...Bal Foyen is a dunmer region with one argonian settlement - so it at the very least needs to be counted half-half...cyclonus11 wrote: »Dunmer

Just sayin.
Of course, -outside- the presented choices there are a LOT of cultures that never were properly covered due to not being part of "Tamriel proper" or other reasons - Maormer, Akaviri, Sloads, Imga, Lilmothiit, etc. Some of them might even be suitable as crown store PC race...
Of course, been there, posted that: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/422285/new-player-race-possibilities/p1
I think The biggest problem with that is the lore that says parts of blackmarsh are so wild that its largly unexplored to non Argonians.TheShadowScout wrote: »Of the choices presented, I would think argonians, closely followed by orsimer.

Except that greenshade was the other way around.Bal Foyen is primarly Argonian, however the main city is not Argonian. A bit like Greenshade for Bosmer.
There are several other "long gone" races as well that are far less well represented in archeology compared to dwemer or ayleids. Sinistral elves come to mind, or the long extinct birdmen of cyrodil... even for atmorans and yokudans, nedes and chimer we have only little as to portray how they changed not only in race, but also in culture over the times...DTStormfox wrote: »Snow Elves (Falmer), obviously
