Between the Green Pact and the migratory cities, I have to go with Bosmer. Looking forward to exploring Valenwood in TESO. Hopefully they don't screw it up.

Do you realize what you ask here? You ask them to not screw up an screwed-up idea about creating a horrible MMORPG about the TES universe that the majority of the fans doesn't want.

I always find the story of the Snow elves very interesting.

Yea Dunmer easly, im not played them much, but Morrowind fleshed out their history and culture perfectly, other races can have interesting bacgrounds and origins (like Argonians-Hist) but they are no where as deeply developed like Dunmer are

I see your point. But I intend to at least give it a shot for a month. As long as the lore and geography and everything is spot on, then I'll probably enjoy it because it's the universe Bethesda created in TES that makes the series incredible to me. Not the first person perspective, not jumping under a low ceiling to level acrobatics, and not the particular engine they've used time and time again.

While the most developed so far is clearly the Dunmers' I'm totally fascinated by the Argonians'. I can't wait to see how will Bethesda portray them in a game set in Black Marsh.

You're probably right about that, but when I saw the screenshots, I was horrified. The NPC's/characters look like cartoonish WoW warriors, instead of the 'normal' TES NPC's

Certainly embracing TESO as part of TES world will require some flexibility. But it will give us the opportunity to experience TES universe in a very new way and on a new scale. But that's not related specifically to Skyrim, so I suppose I should save my comments for the appropriate forum.

Dunmer, hands down. And not because they're my favorite race. Actually, they're my favorite race because of their lore.

This. Their lore is indeed awesome.

Fan of Bosmer lore myself. Has a real beast-within feel.
