Can you be Dragonborn in Elder Scrolls Online?

No, you cannot be the Dragonborn (Dovahkiin) in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) as a playable class or character because the game's timeline (the Interregnum) precedes the Dragonborn's prominent return, and Dragonborn are unique, rare individuals, not a standard class, though you can play a Dragonknight, a class themed after dragons but without actual Dragonborn powers like shouting the Thu'um. While there might theoretically be an unknown Dragonborn in ESO's era, the player character isn't intended to be one, and game mechanics prevent true Dragonborn abilities like dragon shouts.

Thematically, Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer fits perfectly, but a martial class like a Fighter or Barbarian makes great use of the Strength and breath weapon, with Cleric and Ranger as strong alternatives.
