Why do the Wood Elves get the most shit in this series and are also the least liked out of all the races?

Khajit are generally better at stealth which is the bosmer's entire shtick so they're pretty pointless
>>
>>732328983
Nah they might not be everyone's favorite but I've heard and seen many anons pick redguards on here (ironic lol). And it's common advice for beginners to Morrowind pick a redguard and pick long blade as a major skill. I never seen anyone ever play or advise playing as a bosmer, either here or outside of this place

I don't know where to ask. I started Morrowind yesterday. Is it normal to take me 3 minutes to kill a worm?

Use the fucking weapon class you specc'd into. If you specc'd into long blades then use a long blade.

Redguard lore and culture is probably the most interesting among the human races. They're just black, that's the main problem.

how do you even come to this conclusion? dunmer are the jeets, they have dark skin, live in squalor, caste system and muh ancient culture. altmer are either chinks or jews

Dunmer, Imperials, Khajiit. Don't matter in grand scheme of things, but may influence the ongoing events within certain time frame. Honorary aryans

Was proto/pol/ right in their assertion?
>>
>>732332843
The Altmer are universally disliked by pretty much all races thanks for their reputation in being cocky assholes who think they are genetically and culturally superior to all other groups. That might not be universally true, but it's so prevalent that their entire history is seeped in acting like shitlords and then crying when a group of people retaliates. Their cities, though perhaps some of the most impressive, also feel like standard high-fantasy. And they lack a lot of character depth. I think they're one of the worse races to play but they're balanced out a little big by having such a successful history, nice cities (despite being a little generic), and having actually good genetic advantages. Hence the B tier.
They're on the same level as Imperials for obvious reasons. Both are races that shape the histories of Tamriel the most. The Imperials get a minus because they're easily the most generic human race, but they have a good reputation, they have great charisma, and most races actually like them (even when they have political disagreements), unlike the Altmer. Therefore, same tier as the Imperials.

Breton being "lorebuilding fodder" is a joke if you also place Nords at the top. Bretons and Nords both have a simple fantasy background compared to some of the other races, but they are just so well-balanced and interesting even in their simplicity, that they just come out on top. No matter where a TES game takes place, these two races are going to be a solid choice, meanwhile some other races don't really fit (playing an Argonian in Morrowind for example). Bretons have a more complex history than Nords, have better racial advantages than Nords, are more successful than Nords, and are practically the only reason why the Empire even exists in the first place (even though Imperials get all the credit). They are successful merchants, magicians, warriors, honor-hungry knights and crazy woodland celts. They represent everything good about man and mer.
>>
>>732328886
Narratively they are from a far away land, with rumors of cannibalism and savagery

Gameplay
Archer focused race in a game with the least fun missile combat.
In oblivion they are mid.
In skyrim they shine.

Also:
Redguards have the most interesting lore and culture of the humans, though their status is often that as outsiders, especially since half their population is quite narrow-minded or pirates. Hence, second highest rating. Dunmer also up there mostly based on just how interesting they are as a people and culture. This kind of ancient Mesopotamia meets esoteric Persian and Indian traditions is just dope.

Orcs last because they're pretty much the n***ers of Tamriel and almost everybody seems them as a lesser race because of it. Also literally born from the shit of a God. Khajiit second-to-last because they're pretty much the gypsies of Tamriel. Literally banned from entering cities in Skyrim bc they are so untrustable. But, much cooler than orcs lore-wise. Not even close to the same level as Dunmer or Imperials, you're tripping.

Argonians are very interesting. Some of the best lore, best cities. But they often get treated as a lesser race and do engage in a lot of shady behavior (if some are born under a certain starsign, they legit just get trained for work in the Dark Brotherhood). They get a lot of aura hits because of it.

Argonians have like one piece of lore no one ever shuts up about and it's not even interesting if compelling, it's a plot device.

Literally every culture in the setting think your talents are based on star signs. Because they are.

For real?

have you seen any elves? hahahaha

I know they're trying to be their own thing but the "green pact" is retarded. You have a race of expert archers that are not allowed to made wooden bows, the only material that makes sense for a bow. Their homes in ESO were ugly as fuck with all the bone & leather furniture, just cause something is unique doesn't mean it's a good idea.
>>
>>732332843
Kek.
Nords and the rest of Mankind get erased from possibility.
Altmeri are all Ancestroscythed and culled from existence.
Khajiiti and Dunmeri are the protagonists of TES because they're going to be the only ones left.
>>
>>732338420
It's the result of writing exactly one unique thing about the Bosmer so as a result writers want to make everything in their lives about that thing instead of writing other ideas
>>
>>732338420
They are allowed to import and use wood from places other than Valenwood. ESO is gay.

Yea that's literally all they have going on, and I personally don't this it's that interesting. Even the Orcs are more fleshed out.

>WE CAN'T HARM ANY PLANT LIFE
>literally walk on grass, shrubs, flowers, etc. to create dirt roads (thus harming plant life)

>Let's non-Bosmer build buildings, roads, infrastructure in their country which requires "killing" plant-life & then moves into these structures if said races leave
Makes no sense

Why do lorelets secondaries like you feel compelled to share your worthless opinions? Where do you find the confidence to speak about shit you know absolutely nothing about?
>>
>>732338987
ah yes, you're right.

I suppose they could use deadwood for that, would make sense i guess.
>>
>>732338720
They still needed a wooden core. That aside I get it's a fantasy world, but I just don't like it. Sometimes it's good to lean into the stereotype, and wood elves should be making premium tier wooden bows/live in elaborate wood treehouses.

They need to retcon and give them more leeway such as letting them use broken/fallen branches and trunks or minor materials from plants that said plants can regrow, so long as they ensure the plant they harvest materials from remains healthy. They can collect and eat fruit or harvest a portion of vegetables so long as the plant is left alive or w/e because this ultra-autism about never using anything plant-based is so dumb fr

Imagine having a bosmer for a wife. Imagine how tight she would be, how energetic, nimble and flexible she would be, how potent she would smell, the fact that she would pretty much be in a perpetual state of horniness with weird kinks, and much more she would appreciate your tall, fair human frame over her manlet counterparts. The only real downsides would be her cooking, and the fact that your son would look like Fargoth.

For me it's the opposite of this meme. I always end up as a heavily armored 2H warrior with either a battleaxe or greatsword. Hardly ever use ranged attacks because I can just run over to the enemy and hit him. Had my fun with stealth archery over a decade ago and don't ever want to do it again.

I am going to have sex with this female Ohmes-raht Khajiit from The Elder Scrolls. I find the female Ohmes-raht Khajiit in The Elder Scrolls sexy.
The Ohmes-raht Khajiit and I go to Elsweyr to have sex. When having sex with non-humans, it is ALWAYS sexier to have sex in their natural habitat rather than a human's natural habitat.
Before we went to Elsweyr, the Ohmes-raht Khajiit let all the Khajiit know that we are just here for sex. The Khajiit will not steal our drakes because they know I am here in Elsweyr on sexual business.

Bosmer won bigly in Oblivion. They were the real main characters in the game that had the best NPCs overall while the Imperials were mere cops, peasants and walking talking plot devices. Even the ugly models, silly voice acting and erratic AI didn't hinder Wood Elves since it all felt perfectly in-character.
