Believe it or not, the ESO race you choose at character creation does influence specific stats and passive racial skills. Racial skills can be very benefitical to specific classes within the game.
So, in order to get the best possible build (and start to the game) for your new Nightblade, here is a list of races and Nightblade builds they are most effective with:
Damage Dealers: Redguard, Khajiit, Imperial, Orc (in that order)
Tanks: Argonian, Imperial, Orc (in that order)
Healers: Breton (Recommended), Altmer, Argonian, Dark Elf (in that order)
