Does race matter for classes

[Corvo]

Do i have to pick specific races for specific classes to have the best synergy?

Or doesnt it affect it . Lets say i play necromancer . I cannot choose nord or orc or argonian for it cause that would have bad bonuses

It changes only a little, but dont do weird things like choosing an altmer to play stamina.
I use a cat to play as StamArc, also i can tank vet dungeons and trials (with a cat!)
The most flexible race is dark elf cuz they add bonus to mag and stam at the same time

Not so much as for the class itself, but if you want to play DD, Healer or Tank
And if you want to play stamina or magicka, a bigger stamina pool might be helfull.

if you look at the passives for Nord
Increases your Max Health by 1000 and Frost Resistance by 4620.
Increases your Max Stamina by 1500. When you take damage, you gain 5 Ultimate. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds.
Increases your Physical and Spell Resistance by 2600.

They do not help you much if you are a DD versus a Dunmer f.e.
Increases your Max Magicka and Max Stamina by 1910.
Increases your Flame Resistance by 4620.
Increases your Weapon and Spell Damage by 258.

It CAN be more helpfull to choose Nord if you want to Tank, and it CAN be more helfull to choose Dunmer if you want to play a DD.
