What is your LEAST favorite race?

Pig children. AKA Orcs. As my brother says, they looked terrible in Oblivion but now they look terrible with better graphics. Also to any Dunmer haters:

For me, its Argonians. I dont mind them as NPC's and I'd be-friend one. But playing as one... not my style.
Yeah the beast races creep me out. I'm playing an orc now and that's about as far as I stretch. Tails? No.

Altmer sometimes annoy me with their haughtiness, and Bosmer seem a little creepy, sometimes

Orcs are technically Elves.

YOU RACIST PIGS!

What's there to dislike about any of them?

Question should be what is your favourite race.

Orcs are ok as NPCs but I can never get them to look the way I want them to.

I also never cared for redguards.

Yeah, thats a bit odd.
There are three European-variant races in the game : Imperials, Bretons, Nords.
While the Redguard-race is a catch-all for everything from the equivalents of Persians to black Africans.

You should look at a world map, sometime. Throw in some historical ones of certain empires for overlap while you're at it.

Looks-wise I'm not a fan of Khajit. They look fine for the most part, but their weird fur jowl things put me off and their arm fur looks kind of weird. In general tho, I'm gonna have to throw in another vote for Nords. Ironically, Skyrim made me like them less. XD

Argonians!

They taint the name of the beast race with their ridiculousness.

They have different look, so you have to make them look like you think an orc would, not an elf, or a human.

I've hated the Bosmer in every TES except for Skyrim. I actually LOVE playing my Bosmer Archer.
But in Skyrim, I believe I hate the Altmer and Argonians equally.

"Humans", Imperial and Nords. I very rarely play with fantasy races.
Pretty much this.
Throw in High elves as well, since those 3 races appear in all works of fantasy. They are just so boring, and over used. (Dwarves as well, but they aren't in TES)

Thank god there is someone has a same opinion as me...

I hate every beast character on skyrim.

i dunno.. it just me or not, i hate Argonian and Kahjeet.

1. Argo: HP Regen? Dude, i used a Nord and put some enchantment on my gear, there you are... A HP Regen - Nord
2. Kahjeet: Sneak? Put some extra work on my Nord, with Sneak skill, there... better than the cat. And Night Vision? I used a higher brightness on my television :D

Espesially Kahjeet.

Dunno... just imagine it... a CAT killing a DRAGON with some heavy armor?

yes, i know, it great on sneak... but...i dont like it.

Just compare it, kahjeet using steel armor, with Nord using steel armor

wich is cool?

Easily Altmer, and not because I'm a Nord lover, it's just that the Altmer are so stuck up with their "high born" bullsh- ..poop.

Elves are ugly. I think the design team need to work on that one. Id rather date an Argonian.

You know, forum space could have been saved by asking whats your best\worst race. :blush:

I won't agree they're all ugly, but I agree that they made a mistake making their facial bone structure so excessive. No human would ever get naked with somebody with a forehead like that.

It's funny how the khajiit and Argonians seem to be popping up the most as people's least favorite race, yet in another thread asking where people thought the next TES should be set, it seemed like Black Marsh and Elseweyr were the two most popular answers.
