Greetings, you do not have to give your opinion, but it would be interesting to see what opinions TES community have on beauty and attractive in Tamriel.

My opinion:

For all those who know me, this will just be recapping, but even for those who have never seen me before, it make strike you that I like Orcs... I mean really like Orcs.

The green skin, the large teeth (but not big enough, in my opinion), the confidence, and the wildness of Orc females has a beauty in it.

So, what is your opinion?

Appearances changed so radically between games I have to list my preferences by game. Arena and Daggerfall were too pixelated for me to form an opinion about the races in those games.

Morrowind: Redguard females and Imperial males.

Oblivion: Argonian females and Redguard males.

Skyrim: Nord females and Orc males.

Female Dunmer. Even tho I dislike the race, I do admit the females are damn fine.

I would have to say the Dunmer.

Their ruthless, yet proud passion and elegance is probably what intrigues me the most. (Maybe also their height... I am a very short person.)

I have always had a love for elves, but the Dunmer is where most of the love goes to.

I seem to gravitate toward Imperials and Dunmer. Bretons and Altmer to a slightly lesser degree. Skyrim's Bosmer below that. I guess every human and elf race? A dapper haircut and beard goes a long way regardless of race.

On an aesthetic level (i.e not in a sixual way) I always thought Imperial women looked badass. 'Specially in ESO. I've yet to actually play an Imperial woman in any game, though. Closest I've gotten is a Redguard woman with an Imperial father.

Also again, a dapper haircut and beard goes a long way for men.

Redguards are the most consistantly attractive across the games IMO.

Wow, Dunmers and Imperials do seem to be common amongst you guys/gals

Any Nords who like Altmer?

Any Argonians who like Khajiit?

To add another question / request: Do you know any mods that enlarge the size of all Orcs (PC and NPC's) teeth?

I'd be inclined to say Morrowind Dunmer--or Morrowind Bretons (I sort of have a thing for fair skin with freckles...). Most of my characters seem to end up being either Dunmer or Bretons, though one of my favorite characters was a Redguard. Oblivion NPCs make me need some serious eye-bleach; Skyrim NPCs are more...rugged than I'd personally find attractive. From a purely aesthetic perspective, I do love Skyrim's Khajiit, though.

sixually attractive? Nobody.

I'm not really sixually attracted to any race, but there are individual characters I've found appealing from time to time. I still didn't really think of them in a sixual way though. I did have a female Nord character in Morrowind once who was very attracted to Master Aryon.

awkward way to say which race looks the hottest...anyway i'd say i think the bosmer women look the best

Awkward, no, not at all.....Why, not awkward for me

The only sane and wholesome choice is the Sload, natch.

Each to their own (you're joking, right? sarcastic is hard to see online, so I just want to ask before I make my next comment)

Sloads are so HAWT

I agree. I'd rate them, male and female, as the winners of the series as a whole.

On a per-game basis (leaving aside Arena and Daggerfall)...

Morrowind: Redguards, male and female.

Oblivion: Redguard males, Breton females.

Skyrim: Orc males, Redguard females.

It's always been the Bosmer females for me. They have this wide eyed innocence about them that can turn beastly wild in an instant. Plus what they can do with those delicate nimble fingers is just too indescribably delicious.

I prefer the usage of Teeth and the mouth (so orcs are perfect) rather than fingers

.......ahem.Humans.

Bretons, Imperials, Redguards, Nords?

The dunmer ladies are definitely sixiest. The dark skin and red eyes are amazing. All the women from the human races and bosmer are equally attractive. Altmer women are sixy but not if they're too tall. Orc women are oddly attractive.... I'm not into the argonians or khajiits though.

It's not exactly easy to gauge, based on the graphical shifts over the years. In the Oblivion Era, I would have quickly said Dreugh, because everyone was so Vehk Damned hideous with their weird oblong heads and putty faces. It was so much work just to crawl out of the uncanny valley that making anyone attractive was virtually impossible (even with mods. That's right, I said it, most of the 'pretty' characters people post on the interwebs are still ugly to me).


If we take Skyrim as the most 'True' imagining of the races of Tamriel (something which I am hesitant to do, as I think some features were unnecessarily exagerated) then I would have to say Dunmer. A combination of colour contrast, voice (considering all examples of them) and overall attitude... But it's a small sample of a race of millions, Drawn across a multitude of background and cultures.


Frankly... I just don't find races inherently attractive. I find individuals attractive, and what ethnic background they feature from isn't really near the top of the criteria.


Sass and Power, on the other hand. Those are hot. I'd saddle up to a Daedric Prince any day.

Which ones

Meridia, Nocturnal or Boethia. I've always had a soft spot for Azura, but she's more motherly.


Boethia has a real Slaaneshi thing going in, which definately calls to the Eldar thing in me...
