    Dunmer
    TES3 was my first of the series, so those dark elves always hold a place in my heart. Orcs are a close second, though.

    Dunmer
    Dunmer is master race and it has nothing to do with passives. Been playing mostly Dunmers since Morrowind in all ES titles. I do tend to min/max races in this game, and Dunmer conveniently works well for that in a lot of specs/playstyles.

    Altmer
    I've always been fond of the magic themed races/civilizations in fantasy so Altmer is my go-to. Dark elves benefitted from being the stars of the most writing-focused game so naturally it's hard to dislike them.

    That being said, if Dwemer were an option I'd pick that one easily lol. Sci-fantasy and steampunk are some of my favorite aesthetics.

    Redguard
    I like Redguards because they can create some of the most powerful weapons and techniques on Nirn from will power alone. Those being the Shehai, Entronement Blades and Pankratosword.

    Imperial
    I played an Imperial in Oblivion and Skyrim and wouldn't have considered ESO if it didn't have that race. I don't care about racial passives, though I'm lucky Imperials make good tanks. TES4's Cyrodiil simply hooked me and the lore is fantastic. I got back to that game a while ago and, as I was exploring the province, I saw some ruins that in ESO are a keep in the AD part of the map and said "Hah, no bananas to gank me here!"

    Imperial City is my favorite place in Tamriel. Maybe someday we'll be able to kick Molag Bal out of there for good.

    Thank you guys for your answers! I think that altmers are so popular due to the passivs but the reality is that Dunmers are the most popular

    Breton due to them being pointy eared humans with a recognizable fantasy culture, cool history with the Direnni, and a magic focus.

    Why are dark elves so popular? Is it because of Morrowind?

    Imperial
    Imperials have been my playable faves since Morrowind, closely followed by Orcs.
    Before that I played pretty much everything else.
