Lesser Race

So we've had a couple threads on which race we think is superior, this one is for telling which race you think is the "weakest" and why.

Bosmer. Whatever they're capable of, and whatever they've achieved, Fargoth cancels it all out.

Any thalmor or imperial supporter. Altmer are useless, at least dunmer are somewhat useful(though horrible for aesthetics) Bosmer are just nutjobs so I consider them greatly harmless until they get any level of "power"

I'd say Bosmer or Khajiit myself (I'm gonna get raged :P ). While both have some pretty noteworthy exploits (usually against each other), neither have really proven to be particularly better than any other race. Neither have a history on conquering lands or defeating armies (again, other than each other's), while both have been made into another race's servants/slaves. The Empire and Dominion conquered both of their homelands (although the Khajiit willingly joined the Dominion), and the Dunmer enslaved the Khajiit with little effort. Both races just seem like the other races' little siblings who get picked on a lot.

[edit]
Forgot about the Wild Hunt. While it's admittedly pretty awesome, it doesn't stand up to what most races are capable of.

Since Skyrim insists on giving each race the exact same level of potential in everything (100 across the board, level 81), I'm going to rate races by the quality of their unique ability. The worst are Bosmer's command anoimal and Khajiit's night eye.

I agree. It's unlike an Altmer to be illogical. Wait, he's a Thalmor? Ah, that makes sense then. Heh heh heh. :cool:

Well yeah... the Bosmer's hunt.. possibly coupled with Hircine WOULD make them just... ugh... I also believe that with Umbacano and the adoring fan from oblivion lead me to believe, bosmer's greatest weakness is the instable sanity they possess. Ayleid wannabes with all the chance of becomming the "wild elves" once more. Course Thalmor are more or less just that.. the political version of the Ayleids. Bosmer game wise are only good for archery initially, but that quickly changes

Think about your days in all of TES history. Fighting minotaurs, frost wraiths, etc. Now understand that all monsters (not including undead, or animals, you get the idea) come from the Bosmer and their Wild Hunts. It's like the nuke of the ES world.

Argonians are useless. tree-adoring nutjobs who deserve nothing but slavery and death. But that's just common knowledge I guess.

I knew the Bosmer were going to get no love on this thread. Shame really, because they're pretty awesome. Just because they haven't proven themselves through conquest doesn't mean they don't have great potential. They just don't go around starting wars and such.
