They're terrible stealth archers

>>342616542
Your point? We got what few good qualities the mer have and none of the shitty ones. Breton are basically the apex race with virtually no weakness.
Are altmer the Jews of tamriel? They claim to be the greatest race (chosen race). They claim Talos wasn't a god (Jews claim Jesus wasn't gods son). They secretly try control and manipulate people on a large scale, like what they are doing with the stormcloaks in skyrim to weaken the empire, and they are controlled by evil trying to bring on the end of the world (like the devil serving Jews)

They're literally retards running around in animal skins, living in tool sheds, their cities are tiny, with a population of ten people + the main character, bending over for the Imperials or being Nazis.

Redguards, Dunmer, Argonians are objectively the best races on Tamriel. No discussion.

If you're so great, why does 4/5 of the population end up dead and enslaved any time you guys rule over Tamriel? Hell, even when you only have a tiny patch of land to rule over, you still enslave most of the population.

>>342624801
Wait shit, I think I meant the Bretons. Mixed up a race name.
>>342622774
Truly, the Maormer are the best race.
Imperials = Romans
Nords = Celts
Redguards = Numidians
Bretons = Britons(no shit)
Akaviri = Classic Japan
Dwenmer = Ancient Greece
Bosmer = Germans
Altmer = Phoencians/Carthaginians
Dunmer = ancient Hindu civilization
Orsimer = Mongols
Khajiit = Gypsy/Australian cultures
Argonians = Mayan/Buddhist cultures
right?
>>342625513
>Dwenmer = Ancient Greece
As i Greek i dont think its right, i mean i kinda see your point but nah.
>Nords = Celts
Why not Vikings?
Altmer are objectively the best race
>>342625513
Dwemer = Assyrians
Germans for Bosmers ? What ?
Altmer choice doesn't make sense either, Classic Japan suits them better
Dunmer lore is completely unique so i don't know if there's a real life equivalent, granted the burn your dead and ash thing is Hindu stuff iirc
Argonians doesn't really work either, otherwise i think it's fine
>>342625683
>Why not Vikings?
different age, more or less.
i know TES is a clusterfuck of different times and places clashing but having an almost renaissance-era culture next to archaic age cultures just doesn't bode well, the extremely close contact makes it hard to believe those ways of life could endure.
>>342625943
Germanic tribes are the closest to savage tree fuckers i could think of tb.h. Also the wild hunt is a Germanic myth.
and Altmer have very little japanese about them other than some pseudo-bushido shit that isn't unique to them anyway. A few of their form worship fit with Punic religion, the eugenics fit the human sacrifice and their martial culture fits their practice of being put to death for any failure in war. They are industrious and very good at sailing and trading, Japs are too isolationist for that.

>>342626704
Alright it's making more sense now but still i'd argue that Bosmers are unique enough, unique meaning that they don't really have a real life equivalent otherwise they're standard high fantasy elves
The autistic obsession with order and eugenism stuff is what makes me think of Japan for the Altmer iirc the human sacrifices weren't eugenics related at all
Also Altmer are just as, if not more, isolationist than Japs
The Altmer are pieces of shit that should be genocided by the very races they believe they are superior to.

The "golden age" of Islam relied on constantly sucking up treasure and talent from its conquered regions and gathering them in Baghdad. There were plenty of rich nations full of intelligent people in the Middle East before Islam, Persia standing out as one of the most influential.
The reason Islam's golden age came to a grinding halt was because its armies came to a grinding halt at Vienna, then sputtered out impotently in the following centuries.

fighters are literally cod with dice roll.
>>342641094
Maybe, but the melee fighting was never the strong point of the TES games. I know that you could also make a viable orsimer mage or something else, but why should I, except for role-playing purpose? This leaves me with a race that is suited to playstyles I don't like and are, arguably, the worst kind of playstyle in these games.
