I based my vote solely on looks because I don't know anything about the lore.

Favorite is Breton and least favorite is Orc.

I like Bretons the most and orcs the least.

Bretons and Redguards seem to be the average ones..

Same here. Plus, of all the people replying in this thread, there don't seem to be major Dunmer haters around or even minor haters much.

Least favourite to me is kind of hard to say. I think I'll go with Argonian, for both RP and mechanics purposes. Most favourite RP-wise is the Orc. Mechanics-wise (and third for RP reasons) is Dunmer. (Second for RP reasons would be Nord.)

yeah, i dont really see any reason to hate dark elves, and people arent commenting why...

argonian are the greatest race, looks, lore, and (general) personality wise. they will die for their friends (unlike those filthy dunmer/altmer/imperials [the imps wont even die for their gods much less their friends]), usually calm, they are smart, usually not dikeish in anyway (unlike dunmer/altmer and all human races), and they welcome other argonians with open arms (usually, some at least)

least fav has got to be dunmer. they all have poor attitudes, a supiriority complex (maybe nto as noticable as the altmer's), and what they did to argonians (and then the fans think the argonians were at fault for invading :rolleyes: 'course i cant really blame the ash svckers for that though).

yeah, guess i can see why the beast races will dislike them. lol

Favorite Race- Nord (They can carry a lot more loot!


Least Favorite- Orc (Dumb and annoying, not to mention uglier then a drunken stoned Charlie Sheen).

Kahjits are underrated way too much throughout the series. You can't even marry one in Skyrim. Although, I do like how their presence helps make fun of racism and racial stereotypes.

Honestly, my fascination for kahjit (as well as argonians) might be more of a fetish if nothing else... :tes:

I feel like while all the races are great in their own way, there are a few too many human races. Altmer make good mages, Bosmer good archers, Dunmer are good jack-of-all-trades; Orcs are great berserker warriors, and Khajiit and Argonians are fun for roleplaying purposes, especially in Skyrim. The human races, however, are a little less useful per race, it seems. Redguards and Nords are both warrior races, but their racial abilities are just okay. Imperials are really only good if you like speechcraft, and Bretons are only good if you want to play a magic-oriented character build, but don't want to play an elf.

Now don't get me wrong, my first character playthough is always a Breton (the closest thing in TES to a half-breed, with ancestral ties to the original Aldmeri elves), and I do like to play a human battlemage. But I rarely ever play an Imperial, or a Nord, and I've never played a Redguard in all my playthoughs across Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim (so far). Might change that, now that some Redguard culture is more readily available in Skyrim, but it'll likely be the last race I'll have remaining to play as.

THIS!

My characters are usually Argonian. I like their looks and their abilities. My least favorite would be between Imperials and Redguard, never played one.

Cool, the beast races are in the lead, maybe Bethesda is considering their territories for TES VI. The Argonian popularity was already high before Skyrim, it looks like Skyrim made justice for Khajiit as well, they look great and seem distinctly authentic this time around.

yeah, the beast races have always been popular despite never going to theyre provinces, surely a taste of khajiit/argonian culture would increase their popularity too

Dunmer most, probably Imperial least - most boring race.

yeah the imperials have never appealed to me either, average at everything and boring lore in my opinion.

I'm a lizard myself, so naturally I dislike Dark Elves.

favorite:Khajiit
hated:nords

Like the beast races + orcs and dislike all the other elves and humans.

yeah, the beast races seem to be getting the most love.

most Breton

least Altmer

looks like breton are doing well too 3rd on most liked behind Khajiit and Argonian and the joint lowest value in least liked.

yeah, bosmer and altmer doing the worst overall.

Fav races: Argonian, Khajiit, Bosmer, Imperials.
Most played: Argonian.
Least favs: Dark Elves, Altmer, Nords.

@ ALTkj this poll works better with multiple answer choice, many people have more than one favorite.

Favorite: Argonian

Least liked: Altmer (It was Dunmer until I met the Thalmor)

mmmm mainly due to time period the game is set I would say

also i think if the game wasn't set in the home land of the Nords there likes would be much lower.
