Between the Altmer Argonians Bosmer Bretons Dunmer Imperials Khajit Nords Orsimer and Redguards it can be difficult to know what to choose but Ive experimented heavily and have found two races to stand out as the best races for the sneak archer build. 518pm Argonian because the unarmed damage bonus makes the half dozen fistfights easy to win and histskin is. Zoidberg is the best race for everything. The catfolk of Elsweyr have the best skills in stealth of all Tamriels races. Theres nothing that really makes any race suboptimal for a stealth archer because stealth archers break the game Bosmer get a nice start with archery which is a pain to naturally level whereas Sneak levels too fast. With the Khajiits Night Eye it would be easier to see targets in the dark. Combined with their natural Nighteye vision this means they are perhaps the best acquaintances with all things shadowy and dark. And bretons and nords have high resistance to magic attacks which are likely to be the only things aside from other archers that willnhit them at range or you coudl try orcs and redguards one has a power to restore stamina for lomg slowtime shots and the other can take half damage when useful for whe some. Their skill in archery comes in handy for sniping targets from the safety of the shadows. Idd say bosmer nord or breton mostly because bosmer always make goid archers.
