Wood Elf (Bosmer) - Traits: Stamina-based bonuses (stamina recovery, stealth, poison resistance). - Homeland: Valenwood. - Lore: Agile hunters who follow the Green Pact (forbids harming plants). Khajiit - Traits: Theft bonuses, critical chance, and stamina/magicka recovery. - Homeland: Elsweyr. - Lore: Feline humanoids known for cunning, trade, and moon-sugar addiction. Daggerfall Covenant Races Alliance Motto: "For the Covenant!"

Redguard - Traits: Stamina-based (stamina recovery, weapon damage). - Homeland: Hammerfell. - Lore: Skilled warriors with resistance to poison/disease. Orc (Orsimer) - Traits: Health, melee damage, and damage reduction. - Homeland: Orsinium (Wrothgar). - Lore: Formerly cursed elves, now fierce berserkers and smiths. Ebonheart Pact Races Alliance Motto: "For the Pact!"

Nord - Traits: Frost resistance, health, and stamina boosts. - Homeland: Skyrim. - Lore: Hardy warriors with a love of mead and battle.

Imperial (Unlocked Separately) Imperial - Traits: Gold find, health/stamina boosts. - Homeland: Cyrodiil. - Lore: The ruling race of the Empire (requires Imperial Edition or Crown Store).

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
