Note that the Dreugh are the only TES race to survive the transition from the previous kalpa (previous cycle of the universe), albeit in declined form.

Argonians. Makes for some interesting roleplaying just trying to stick to water whenever possible.

Khajiit players need to die in a fire though, fucking furries.
unless they're roleplaying as a premade acrobat class

The problem with referring to a TES race as "nigger" is that it could refer to Redguards, Argonians, Orcs, or even Dunmer (if you're feeling generous). IMO Argonians are most nigger in spirit.

I've always been all-in on Nord. Chose it in Daggerfall simply because I'm Norwegian, and haven't looked back. I only made an exception in Battlespire because a magecuck made more sense for the story.

I remember seeing the Argonian racial bonus: disease immunity, poison immunity, unlimited water-breathing. I thought I had found the OP race for sure, and then I realized how little those mechanics matter. Fucking Elder Scrolls.

Dunmer culture is from what I've seen in-game the most interesting one because it seems to be the only one which is not one-dimensional i.e. it's inspired by several non-related real-world or imaginary cultures:
- Assyrian/Sumerian (the names)
- Hebrew (the Velothi exile)
- Chinese/Japanese (certain traits of Great houses)
- traditional Dark Elf (the feuding of Great houses)
and probably others that I'm missing.

Now compare that to the not-roman Imperials and the not-Viking Nords of Skyrim.

My personal favorite is Breton. Alternatively I'll play the race represented by the province.

Depends on which Elder Scrolls

Arena: Redguards, because their damage goes up with level, and can reach ridiculously high levels

Daggerfall: Bretons, because of Spell Absorption

Oblivion: Bosmer, because I did not like Oblivion combat, so played stealthy characters to avoid it

Skyrim: Bretons or Altmer, because Skyrim spellcasting is so broken, it is actually fantastic

You forgot Morrowind.
