But in eso you won't be limited on class choice based on your race. You can literally make any race and class into any type of character.
That's a good tought. I am ps4 user and as I can see there isn't that many guilds yet for us. So I might do some giold shopping and simply choose the race in consequence.
I agree with what Do'Raak said, although, lore-wise these would be the best races for a sorcerer, why not be unique? The orcs have the Berserker Rage racial ability, which would help in any situation and the fact that orcs aren't known for magic would give your character a very interesting background story and a goal to achieve; the Argonians have the Hitskin racial ability that would also help you in any moment and the hist and magic have a long history; the khajiit claw ability will help if your a sorcerer, and not many are talented in magic meaning that if you are, then you'd be unique. Just another point of view ;)
But if you do go with the usual archtypes (I did, but not because the Bretons are good with magic, if not because they resembled me more than any other race did) The altmer are (arguably) the best mages, although a little arrogant if you ask me ;) , the Dunmer are a very interesting race, and, on top of that, it's a race that doesn't have much of an archtype (yes, they're good with magic, but they're also known for their skills as warriors (House Redoran is an example) and skilled assassins (Morag Tong) so they're an all around race, so that you're not the usual archtype, and finally the Bretons, who are known to be as good warriors as the rest of the humans and as good mages as the elves, and their resistance to magicka makes them feared mage killers (this is why they could also be considered as good with magicka as the Altmer)
I hope this helps (I'm also very indecisive, but at least I've made my mind up (I started wanting to be a Dunmer, then a Khajiit, and now a Breton)) :D
Good luck with your breton then! They are an interesting choice!

I hope this helps (I'm also very indecisive, but at least I've made my mind up (I started wanting to be a Dunmer, then a Khajiit, and now a Breton)) :D I completely agree that as far as lore goes, altmer are arguably the best mages. I think a dunmer would suit him more because of the stealth aspect. Stealth is more lore friendly to a dunmer than altmer
I agree that lore wise dunmer and magic/stealth are obvious. But I might do something a bit more unique than the classic dunmer spellsword. But clearly Altmer wouldn't fit for my type of archetype... and I am way too nice to be THAT arogant!
But thanks guys these were great advices!
