Race recognition: what do you think about?

Yes I agree. Most Altmer talk to me like I am from an inferior race, even though I am not a Falmer or Saltmer...

Simply more dialogue options would be good. The game has no idea that my Bosmer is from a clan that ascribes to Mara and Kynareth instead of Yffre's Green Pacters. Or that she is a very skilled healer and paladin on Kynareth. And I don't expect the game to necessarily know all that. Simply don't force her to gather herbs to heal someone's mother when she is a great healer (provide an option to heal directly if you have the skill to do so). Or don't force her to ask what the Green Pact (ugh) is or who Kynareth is to progress a quest. Having those as dialogue options is okay but include options that support a character who totally knows what the Hist is or who Azura is. . . .

The two biggest immersion breakers for me are not recognizing that my character is a healer, and the dumb rapport dropping things that lose companion rapport. Any 'friend' who gets mad at my elf if she accidently picks up a red potion instead clicking talk to a merchant is going to be (as was) instantly permafired. Thankfully, I have an add on preventing any interaction with torchbugs or butterflies. That is why Mirri is still with my elf as a companion. Ember was fired the first time we went fishing. Isobel was fired the first time we opened a thieves trove.

The stealing by accident thing is a game thing rather than a character thing. The companion has absolutely no way of knowing whether you stole stomething on purpose or not. Unlike in real life, you can't just put the item back. To avoid that, there is the option to turn off accidental stealing but as you seem to like the thieving aspect it's probably of little use to you. If I take something by accident, I usually just accept that I did it, it happens, oops, my fault

Dunmer are one of my favorite races, but playing as Dunmer I never felt like an actual Dunmer immersed in their culture and history, playing the Morrowind dlc you might as well be a nord and there will be not much difference how people treat you(there is some extremly minor off-hand race specific dialouge, but nothing significant) , you are still a clueless outlander and have no roleplaying options to state otherwise.

So maybe you want to be a Morrowind native Dunmer who worships the Three or maybe an Ashlander, though luck you are a prisoner from another dimension wearing a dunmer skinsuit and everyone can tell your not from around here.

I think that in 5 - 10 years AI will be able to voice act well enough to be used for NPC voices in games. At that point I would expect that dialog will be able to get really immersive. At this point though, with real voice actors, I'm fine with what we get. I understand the limitations and can headcanon my way around it.

I do not know lor, and do not read quests (...) So some quests text changes will be some thing i even will not see

You never read dialogues, so dialogue changes for more immersion aren't necessary, because you won't see them anyway?
So, I, personally, don't care for the human races. Maybe we could just remove them?
