Lore-wise, whats your favourite race?

I think wood elves are pretty cool what with the green pact, and argonians with the hist.

Nords. No doubt about that :)

Although I admit they're a bit over-beligerant to my tastes.

Dunmer (and by extension the Chimer), they're my favourite, though that might be because they have the most background lore/history (by a wide margin) compared to the other races. Plus, you know, Vivec is one.

Dunmer or Altmer. Right now I'm in a bit of a transition, to be honest.

Well I always play as a Nord, and I do really like their lore. I also really like Imperial lore though and the history of their Empire. If I had to pick one I'd say Nord but I love all the combined lore of Nirn.

Dunmer and Yokudan.

If non-playable races also count, I'll add http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/9782-1-1335906858.jpg, too :) Fatass, cowards, lazy and addicted to Alteration/Teleportation magic....there could be so many memorable characters if Bethesda decided to include them in a future game... :lol:

Old Lore I liked the Dunmer, but the new Lore (destruction of their homeland) I'm not so happy about.

I always liked the Bosmer Lore and it wasn't screwed up too much so I'll go with that (though I can't say I'm real happy with their pacts with the Aldmeri Dominion).

Bosmer's or Redguard.

I love wood elves and such because of their society that sort of rejects "modern" living practices, but Redguards have such a unique history and are really set apart from the rest of the humanoid races. They are, lore-wise, so different than Nords, Bretons, Elves, Orcs, and Imperials that they could almost be classified as one of the "beast" races of Argonian or Khajit.

Khajiit. I love their culture. The fact that they use their different forms based on its strengths is just awesome.

Yeah. Yokuda was where the Redguards came from. The continent supposedly sunk, which is why they are in Tamriel. Yokudan is just saying that one is from there.

Well, you've also got the Yokudan Left-Handed Elves, but I'm pretty certain that none of them survived the explosion.

That's why I love their lore. Yokuda reminds me of Atlantis.

Dunmer, without any shadow of doubt. Followed by Khajiit and Altmer/Argonians (joint third).

Either the Dark elves or the Altmer. Though i think i like the altmer better. For some reason i like their whole "we're better then every other race! If you dont agree, well prove us wrong! You CANT! MUAHAHAHA!"
Though the dark elves sort of have that same position too. (at least the Telvanni - which are the coolest part of dark elf culture IMO)

I'm quite interested in http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Lilmothiit.. Wish could see them in future TES.
