Who is the strongest race in Tamriel, and why is it the Bretons?

It's the Redguards actually. Them sword skills are hax.

Orcs in berserk mode

bretons are a fake bastard race.

Course it doesn't stop everyone from being a Dunmer dick rider, and normalfags liking da viking nords.

bretons are just a shitty half breed, I'd rather be a horse like one of the mortal races than have donkey elf dna mixed in

Kind of like every race except Imperials, Altmer, and Nords.

>>389474647
Exactly, so they can't be the strongest race.

Nords are literally the master race of Tamriel because they got the most shit done and conquerored out of any other single race. Hell they only reason the Nords lost at Red Mountain because of the Heart of Lorkhan, they needed the literal heart of an Aedra to stop the Nords.

So I haven't played ESO but I have a question. From what I've seen you can go into Black Marsh in the game so do they give some sort of explanation for this or did they just retconn the whole black marsh is poisonus thing?

>>389476685
I actually fucking love TES orcs. One of my favorite races. Having said that, no fucking way they're the strongest.

>>389476685
because they are literal shit elves.

The elven god Triminac was somehow fucking eaten by the Daedra Beothia, then Boethia took a huge shit and shit out Triminac as Malacath. Triminacs follows then got Boethia's shit and smeared it all over themselves, turning them into the Orsimer

>>389476780
>>389476994
First, it wasn't "literally". The whole "got eaten and shit out" was a metaphor for what Boethia did to Trinimac. Second, I really don't get why people consider this alone to be enough to just completely diss the orcs. It's one of the most original backstories for a race I've ever seen, and one that explains the in universe racism the other races have towards orcs and their general attitude.

>>389476685
Boethiah ate the Aldmeri god Trinimac and then shit him out as Malacath.

The Orsimer's patron was created from vore and scat and they are a shit race.

>>389476626
Spot on. It's perfect.

>>389477338
Yeah real original they're called orcs and they're corrupted elves. That has never been done before in any notible fiction ever.

Not saying it's a complete rip but it's not that original compared to other es races.

>>389476834
>>389477503

>>389477338
ok so what actually happened? literally?

>>389476685
Plebs who don't know shit about the orc cultures think they're shit tier. They're like dunmers but not for homosexuals.

>>389473956
the ones in battlespire do,
redguards are bad ass, they come from a different timeline before alduin destroyed it

>>389471221
as if being mixed race garbage isnt enough, you bretons have the attitude to believe defensive traits belong anywhere in the upper-tier lists, bretons get spanked by orcs all day.

>>389477557
It's a completely fucking different kind of corruption from Tolkien elves though.

>>389477627
Trinimac fought Boethiah, lost, Boethiah assumed his form to manipulate his followers, and then when Boethiah threw Trinimac out of his body, Trinimac had turned into Malacath. Every single time it says he got "eaten" it's between quotations because it wasn't literal. The whole "orcs are made of shit" thing is what other races say to mock them, but it's not literal. Might as well say Sheogorath is Jyggalagg's shit as well.

>>389475958
Dunmer have done all the same shit. And the only reason that the lizards were so successful was because the Great House armies were vastly depleted.

Dunmer in lore
>Great warriors, magicians, traders, and slavers
>destroyed Oblivion gates in Morrowind by themselves with no help leaving Great House armies massively depleted
>Removed foreign influence within native monarchy
>half of Morrowind fucked over by Ministry of Truth/Red Mountain eruption
>Filthy argonians launch a sneak attack and still get stopped despite Morrowind's severely weakened state
>still most military potential in Tamriel
>muh Morag Tong

get real son

>>389477627
>Legends say that Boethiah was angered by the "lies" Trinimac was spreading about Lorkhan. They call Boethiah the "Devourer of Trinimac", for they say the Prince tricked Trinimac, consumed him, and then assumed his form. Through dreams and visions, Boethiah convinced Veloth to build a new sect dedicated to the belief that mortals could ascend to become gods. Trinimac's priests condemned this "blasphemy", and when they were about to pass judgment, "Boethiah appeared, having swallowed Trinimac, and revealed the lies of Trinimac's teachings with Trinimac's own voice." After thoroughly shaming the priests, Boethiah relieved himself of Trinimac in front of the assembly.

>While most legends don't record how Trinimac was defeated, Orcish legend says that when Trinimac confronted Boethiah for the Velothi trespass and tried to fight, Mephala appeared and stabbed him in the back, bringing him to his knees while a gloating Boethiah cursed and twisted him. After he was defeated and consumed, it is said Boethiah tortured his spirit in her belly. The Daedra Lord eventually grew bored and instead exiled Trinimac to a plane of choking ash. This torture and dishonor left Trinimac twisted and enraged. Trinimac faded and was reborn as Malacath (also called Mauloch).

>According to legend, the dung Boethiah excreted became Malacath. The followers of Boethiah and Trinimac rubbed this excrement on themselves to change their skins. Altmeri propaganda portrayed this as a lesson on the dangers of Velothi influence, while Velothi propaganda regarded Trinimac's transformation as punishment for attempting to interfere with their exodus. Malacath himself derided this tale as being too "literal-minded"

>devoured
>tortured in the belly
>excreted

>Malacath himself says that this tale is far too "literal minded".
Imagine my shock.

desu its not much worse than a lot of traditional mythology; we are just so used to gay jewish denominations these days

for example, in ancient greece they said there were two gods in the beginning: ouranos (sky) and gaia (earth). ouranos is a dude and lies on top of gaia who is a woman (ie theyre fucking all the time). because ouranos is fucking gaia nonstop, he keeps getting her pregnant but she cant give birth cos his dick is in the way, so she keeps filling up with kids. eventually, one of her children, kronos (time), gets a scythe (pretty normal farming tool from the era) from somewhere and cuts ouranos' dick off so he and his siblings can escape their mothers womb. incidentally this is where the 'grim reaper'/'old father time' meme comes from

kronos, as the god of time, has a premonition that one of his children will overthrow him one day (he was made king of the gods after the castrating ouranos). so every time his wife gives birth, he eats the baby. his wife, rhea, gets sick of having her children eaten so the next time she gives birth she gives him a rock she enchanted to look like a baby, which he eats. she sends her uneaten sun, zeus, away and he trains himself up then comes back, beats the shit out of kronos and his friends, and stuffs them back into gaia

then zeus fucks everything in the world

It's reasonably fun, but you'll get bored after a while, which is fine since it has no sub so you can just go back when you feel like it.

Orcs are cool as fuck in the lore, but they can't be the best race for lore reasons. After the whole Boethiah shit ordeal they are pretty much doomed to be a pariah race until the end of time. In the brief times they manage to get their shit together they build cool shit like Orsinium though.

>>389484368

Orsinium in TESO was so damn great, jesus. Probably ended up being my favorite city dlc.

>>389474753

>Hell they only reason the Nords lost at Red Mountain because of the Heart of Lorkhan

This is a meme tier argument. The Nords had the Dragon Tongue given to them by Kyne out of sympathy and then went on to abuse it. And then they only founded the Empire because Tiber Septim was Dragon Born. They've literally done nothing with it being given to them on a plate. The Altmer are the only ones who've done significant things without some Aedra or Deadra helping them.

>>389485146
In my opinion Orsinium was the best value DLC in ESO period. Good sized map, and tons of cool new shit.

As they are sensitive to sound one of the Greybeards will uncuck himself and reopen the College of the Voice to help combat this new threat.

With the Nords no longer hamstrung by those filthy hippies and their pacifist views they will be at full power and will reclaim their rightful place as the Unquestioned best race.
