    Imperial
    I picked Imperial just because I like the idea of an Imperial hoping to save the world and rebuild the Empire - choosing the faction that he thinks is best to achieve that. That's why my main is an Imperial.

    I've kind of got a soft spot for Khajiit and Argonians too... And Dunmer for that matter. I feel like they've all got interesting cultures, and they look cool to boot.

    Yeah, I should have specified that I meant in ESO rather than in ES games in general (because for me it makes a big difference - in Skyrim I'd pick Nord, in Morrowind it'd be Dunmer).

    Hehe , yeah , i would not say i always pick the regional race (did play a nord rogue/mage once in skyrim) , but it does make a big dif to me also.

    Breton; I have a soft spot for bretons in all elder scrolls games... specifically for their racials and combining those in non caster classes. In other elder scrolls games they make absurdly good spellsword kinda builds :p

    (fond memories of making a breton "nightblade" in morrowind with the atronach as starsign)

    I'm also a fan of dunmer and bosmer though

    thanks for making this thread, it needed a poll but i was too tired last night and wasnt thinking clearly.

    the amount of people who like bretons suprises me. ive never really liked them. cant pinpoint why exactly ?

    Nord
    I've always preferred Nords and Redguards they are unique in their own way. Also the british concept of Bretons is cool :D.

    Bosmer, mostly. If there were more RP going on my favorite would be my Pact Kajiit. Found and raised by a Nord family, she thinks, and drinks, like a true Daughter of Skyrim.
    Brunhilda Icehammer - Nord Dragonknight, 'Smith & Enchantress 'What is 'ranged? I need to hit something!!'
    Laehl Direthorn - Bosmer Nightblade, Purveyor of fine Clothes, Bows and Staves
    Reeza gra-Zuni - Orc Templar 'War Shaman' and Apothecary
    Noemi Snowpaw - Kajiit Dragon Knight - I laugh... or I'd have to kill you.
    Kitera Dreamon - Breton of The Dominion: Because those Daggers don't appreciate a great Mage.
    Lysara Shadowcroft - Dunmer Bloodmage: This will only hurt a lot.

    Breton
    This one likes the Breton race, but for some reason Fa'Kir is running around in a Khajiit outfit.

    My next will be a Breton and I like Bretons in all TES games. Also, I will maybe make a female character and Bretons are the only race that are not ugly as sin when it comes to the women. I'm not down with Imperials unless I can be Imperial.

    Dunmer and Khajiit :)
    I find it difficult to decide, so I have 3 Dunmer and 3 Khajiit, two for each Alliance.

    edit*
    the Khajiit are very good for the fluffy factor :D

    That on is hard. My main is a Dark Elf, and I picked that, just because I'm currently on a Forgotten Realms novels binge, and drow are pretty cool. But I almost always play Khajiit (Skyrim) or Argonians (Morrowind) in previous Elder Scrolls, because I like the underdog races (have had a few orcs as well, though I can't seem to get one to look the way I want at the moment). I also love the horns the Bosmer have, and though I've never played one before, I had to snag one. She's fun to RP, especially with trying to keep with the Green Pact.
