    Technically my favourite race is Ayleid, but since they're extinct I'll go with a VERY close second: Altmer.

    Bosmer (wood elf)
    I always end up playing a wood elf in TES, for whatever reason. The whole 'get along with animals thing'. Don't see that on the ESO side of course, but the trend has stuck.

    I keep trying to make a Dunmer, but I can't stand the RBF they all seem to have. Perma-scowls are not my thing.

    Most of my chars are Argonian, Khajit or Orc because cartoony enough. But I can tolerate dunmer.

    One of my Bosmer has abandoned the pact since she's no longer really a Bosmer anymore. So when she got infected by a werewolf she just rolled with it. When Y'ffre fixes Bosmer stealth, she'll consider respecting the pact, and not a second before.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    Bosmer.

    Purely aesthetic choice: It's the only race allowing me to customize a char with an appearance I like, especially the face.

    Bosmer.
    However, since they were ruined having their stealth taken away, mine just sit in my char vault stagnating.
    I play other characters but Bosmer is still my favourite even though they don't get used.

    In the original Skyrim it would have been Argonian due to the histskin daily power, but in ESO it's Imperial as I just feel more powerful because of the large bonuses, even though there are better choices.

    Up until a few months ago I would have said either Imperial or Breton... and this was solely from an aesthetic viewpoint. I just cannot play an ugly character, and so Imp or Breton are the most attractive in the game IMO. However, I ended up creating an attractive male Dark Elf and haven't looked back! Dark Elves are good with pretty much any class, currently rocking a Dark Elf Necromancer and will go DE for Arcanist as well.

    Bosmer, Don't care about the Green Pact one bit though, so any character that I make of this race in any TES game isn't a follower, but I love everything else, the look, the passives, all of it.

    I've gone through several in various games. NONE of them were either "interesting" or "awesome and well loved".

    Grohk from Paladins had an universally loved remake because they kept the general style and outfit, just made him look better and like a Chad. The same also has done remakes that were absolutely hated (Such as Viktor going from a war veteran look to a Fortnite kid look, though the playerbase and devs ended up making it official that the new Viktor is the son of the old one, lol).

    I was going to put in an "other" and "skyrim" options. When I was making this poll I was going to save it as a draft so I can add in more races later. Instead I clicked the wrong button without realizing and accidentally posted this 😅.

    I voted kahjiit because they're cats.

    Redguard all the way because I love their lore as Sword Singers. They are the Jedi Warriors of Tamriel. But ZOS chooses to ignore their lore and gimp them. And when it comes to fashion they also can't be beaten but again ZOS ignores this.
