Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[LisSquid]

With ESO, it's a bit different. At least, unless they have changed things since the year and a half I last played. Races in ESO actually have their own racial passives, and there is a certain level of meta when making player races. There were/are objectively better races at their respective roles (stamina or magicka based). I'm not up to date with the meta there, so I don't know what is best currently for each class/role.

Yeah, ESO stats are moot for a lot of reasons, but definitely because dark elf and khajiit are just BiS for pretty much everything right now.

I'm surprised Khajiit isn't more popular then. Even being a beast race.

If dark elf was meta when I played, it'd probably be my main. More of my alts are dunmer though, ironically.

If they wanted to go for a non-human race but still round around within conventional beauty standards, they could've easily gone the Bless route of "basically taller Miqo" and save all the drama

Even if femhroth were to get a more beastlike head than that Bless variant, I don't think they also have to be as bulky as some of the wanted depictions.

Dunmer being superior, as things should be. On topic, I can definitely see fem Hrothgar being like Highlander Miqo'te and being mildly popular. If they go the fem Roe route, then it's going to be a waste of money and dev time.

They will most definitely not be short and soft so they'd be a "waste" either way, might as well be a waste that makes sense

Highlanders are short and soft? I think you have a skewed perspective my friend, but that's all too common in this thread.

Highlanders are also nowhere near as popular as Miqo, Au Ra, and even popotoes. By the notion of some people, anything that isn't short uwu kawaii waifu is a waste - heck, despite Viera being popular people still complained they're too masculine for being *gasp* tall and aloof! ...the audacity!

Very hard to pick apart the data because everyone (self included) has copies of several races and class combinations for pushing content depending on where the nerf hammers and buff winds land. My Godslayer prog group is 100% Khajiit, and our RL made jokes about everyone enjoying their ZOS assigned fursonas.

Then there's also just people who rerolled, because race change is $$, but those old capped races are still there. Getting to 50 is easy, so that's also not a good stat to follow. I will say just from my own observations that the most popular races are Khajiit, High Elf, and Dunmer. Just from all the Trial/PvP discords I'm in and scanning their comps.

Just a handful of Bosmer (PLEASE BUFF WOOD ELVES. WE ARE ARCHERS BY NATURE! OUR NICHE SHOULD BE BOW/BOW!!)

Few people play meta, they tend to focus on what they like playing. Example, I have quite a few Orc and Argonian characters alongside my Khajiit simply because I like how they look, I don't really care about meta.
