What Elder Scrolls race are you?

Post by LongLiveTheEmpire »

I guess you could say I'm something of an Elder Scrolls veteran. I'm no loremaster, but i've studied lots and lots of Elder Scrolls lore, and I've played every game and visited every province (ESO, Oblivion, Skyrim, Morrowind). By now I've gotten a really good idea of how each race behaves and what each one "embodies". I've slaved over this quiz because me and my friend are huge Elder Scrolls fans, and often roleplay together. We have always been curious what race we represented in real life, so I made this quiz as accurate as I can, taking in as many factors into consideration as possible to determine what race you would be. I do this while trying not to be specific, obviously i'm not going to say "What is your favorite weapon type to kill people with", I went for a more personality oriented approach that should really give you an idea of what Elder Scrolls race you embody. I'm interested in hearing what you guys think, and let me know what you got. I'm up for criticism I guess, but I can't edit the quiz and I don't really have any intentions of doing so. To me it sounds like the most accurate quiz you could take in this regard. Enough talking, here's the link. Please post in the poll what you got and let me know what you think! :P

-side note-
I grouped Nord and Redguard together and Khajiit and Argonian together because I believe them to be intrinsically similar. Culturally, no, but at their core I think they share a lot of key features, so I kept them together. If you get Nord/Redguard or Khajiit/Argonian, I leave it up to you to decide which of the two you think you embody most.

I got Bosmer, and I believe it is accurate!
EDIT: Took it a few times and got Breton, I think that's more accurate! Besides, only a Breton would create a quiz this good :P

I got Bosmer too.
I liked the questions. I thought there was a good mix of options and it wasn't obvious what the race would be for each choice, so I didn't feel like a certain option was screaming Orc or Argonian, etc.
I couldn't decide between Bosmer or Breton for the last question. I picked Bosmer, and then got that as my race and was a bit suspicious as to how much that choice had influenced the outcome, so I retook, picking the same answers except for choosing a Breton at the end instead. I still got Bosmer, so was satisfied. :P
In was a nice length too.
I don't know anything about the lore, so cannot comment on that aspect of the quiz.
I agreed with the race I got, but out of curiosity I would be interested so see what the descriptions for the other races are, to see if another seems more suited.

I am slowly beginning to worry about the rather abundance of Bosmer in the forums. Please tell me you're all on a strict non-meat diet >___<

Breton. Seemed fitting enough, they're the closest things to elves that I actually like in the Elder Scrolls.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the Altmer option is at the top of the poll list either. :wat:

Yes, I know it's alphabetical, but still...

I'm a civilized Imperial :roll:

Description for those who wanted it:
Imperials hail from the land of Cyrodiil, the heartland of Tamriel. Imperials are a cosmopolitan race, with many well adjusted to city life and living as a community. You tend to view things in a more civilized light, and are exceptionally good at talking your way out of situations. You are well disciplined and educated, and are good at following the status quo.

^I'm curious what the other race descriptions that you've done are. Could you possibly list them (or perhaps they are already listed together somewhere)?

Altmer: The Altmer or "High Elves" are a tall, golden skinned, proud people, hailing from the Summerset Isles.. You are very assertive and in a way believe yourself to be superior to everyone else around you. You are very knowledgeable and have an esteemed passion for learning. You are very refined in the way you act towards people and expect people to do the same.

Nord/Redguard: Nords and Redguards are very similar, as a result, you could be considered either one. Nords are from the northern land of Skyrim, and are resistant to cold weather. Redguards are from the desert land of Hammerfell. Both value adventure and excitement, and both are extremely distrustful of magic, and choose to fight in close combat. You are extremely courageous and often deal with things head-on. You could be either a Redguard or a Nord, so I guess if you have a lighter skin tone or are of European ancestry, you could be a Nord. If you are of a darker skin tone or African/Hispanic/Middle-Eastern, you could be a Redguard.

Bosmer: Bosmer are a humble folk hailing from the land of Valenwood. You are kind and benevolent, and choose to respect the environment around you. You often tend towards peace, and admire nature's beauty. You prefer a more simple life enjoying the beauty of the world rather than living a structured and rigid life.

Breton: The Bretons hail from High Rock, and are known for their proficiency in abstract thinking and unique ways of life. You are not as strong as most humans, but are incredibly willful and intelligent, and as a result your species is very divided. You have some elvish ancestry and you are very expressive and creative.

Dunmer: The Dunmer hail from Morrowind, and are known for their isolationist views and xenophobia. You are very intelligent, yet reserved to most people. You have a strong loyalty to your family and your own kind. Other people may view you badly, but you hold true to your family values and your beliefs.

Imperial: Imperials hail from the land of Cyrodiil, the heartland of Tamriel. Imperials are a cosmopolitan race, with many well adjusted to city life and living as a community. You tend to view things in a more civilized light, and are exceptionally good at talking your way out of situations. You are well disciplined and educated, and are good at following the status quo.

Khajiit/Argonian: Khajiit and Argonians are very similar, and as a result you could be considered either one. Khajiit hail from the land of Elsweyr, and are a feline race of humanoids. Argonians hail from the swamps of Black Marsh, and are a lizard race of humanoids. Not much is known or understood about you to other people. You may be secretive or on a different wavelength than others. You enjoy life's little things, and are no stranger to looking for shiny things to fill your pockets with. Although others may not understand you, you are incredibly loyal and greatly value friendship. If you prefer reptiles, or think you are more "cold blooded', you could be considered Argonian. If you are more of a cat person, and think Khajiits are cooler, you could very well be a Khajiit as well.

Orc: Orcs have no home province, as a result, they are not centrally located anywhere on Tamriel save for an ancient mountain city which was destroyed many times. Not many people look at you in a positive light, you may seem dark or rigid. Deep down you have a strong moral codes that guide you throughout life as you wander from place to place without a home. You place great emphasis on being as strong and as tough as possible so that you have some bite to match your bark.

The question is wrong. It should not be "Which race are you" but instead "What is your favorite race". I have played with practically every race, my favorite is the breton race.

No, the question is not wrong. The quiz is meant to determine what core characteristics of each race apply the most to you, not what your favorite race is.
