Elder scrolls races compared to real life

Dunmer - they got multiple very distinct houses and cultures (ashlanders/city dwellers) and different religions. Atleast they mix 2-3 different cultures instead of ripping off only 1 for 90% of their lore (Hi Nords) Basicly Bushido/Samurai values mixed with middle eastern/African culture. Redguards - The way of the sword, Sword masters and martials arts. Bosmer - Classic hippies, except for the cannibal part, which I really enjoy - more of this please to stray from the beaten path High Elves - Stereotypical high elves with their vast superiority complex Bretons - Knights/Medieval theme - Unless reachmen - then celtic theme. They walk such a safe path with most of the races they don't do them any justice. They're so scared of being creative with the races. Sadly, portrayals of the races are sometimes lacking. (The Bosmer at least have Falinesti.).Д®lder Scrolls lore is fascinating. It is indeed a pity that interesting races like the Bretons (who hadn't been explored deeply in lore since Daggerfall) and the Bosmer (same, but Arena), are out of land for even the possibility of further exploration of their lore. The Dunmer have had nuanced and various depictions since base game with the Morrowind Chapter elaborating on that, while races like the Nords merely got their identities reduced to: East = drunk and foolish with a mead-obsession, West = angry and suspicious with a mead obsession. It would be tempting to say that the reduced presentation of the races is merely a base game problem, and that the chapters have gradually added such nuance and variety to the races, but that wouldn't be entirely true. Vikings and Dragons, two things that've been done to exhaustion. 'Mead, shouting, loves to hit stuff - oh what's that? vampire and werewolves? lets hit them!' And we've learned absolutely nothing new about them other than what's already established. We just had an entire CHAPTER dedicated to them.

In terms of Lore I totally agree Nord is a snooze fest. In terms of raw power they add very little for me. I voted Bosmer from a gameplay perspective. They just don't for races somebody decided should be punch lines. The Dunmer get variety and nuance, so you know they can create that even in the context of an MMO. They did that to the Bosmer too, great lore but in this game they're cartoons. It's not the lore's fault, but yeah the way the race is portrayed in ESO is mostly straight cringe. Where are my clothes? Haha I'm stupid but at least I'm a Nord, milk-drinker! HAhA did I mention I love mead? Yes Mead! Also hitting things! oh boy I dont trust that magic! its not like we have had a respect for magic written in our lore ever before! haha not sure if I mentioned already,but I love mead AND hitting things! sometimes at the same time!'? Why does the entirety of nords get summed up by 'haha I drink MeAD! I havent had my drink yet! I like Hitting things! Oh.another non nord race.im either wary of them or just rude. Why are the nords done so poorly in game where they are the main inhabitants? The only race I would personally remove or alter significantly. Yawn at their dialogue ,poorer voice acting in comparison to restДЄs they almost do not belong in The Elder Scrolls Universe. High rock excluding bit of Rivenspire is too mundane compared to other extraordinary landscapes ,Alien is aimed to Argonians they are the closet to Monster looking class. Your typical architecture ,armor,culture and religion closely resembling Britons in real life, least unique race compared to other Alien/Elven/Feline and even Nords have far richer lore and setting Not a single personal lovable character with exception of High King Emeric that I could stand at least Very little content,Bretons were basically over at launch with High Rock and their story.

Extremely simplistic humanoid behavior and appearance highly annoying female characters compared to my supremely gorgeous and intellectual powerhouses of nearly Perfected Altmer Light and Magic simply eons ahead of them. Its not aimed directly to anyone,thank you Please keep note every player has its own passion and personal dislike, What I state below is purely how i feel with the race. Preferable details and state reasons why.
