The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Would a race's magic/health/stamina bonus be relevant in later levels?

For example, high elves start with more magic. Will this only be useful in the beginning of the game or will the character always have a tendency to have more magic than other races?

I think I already know but a confirmation would be nice.

Nope.

Race doesn't really matter outside of Racial powers and running speed.

50 magicka will always be significant, but depending on how characters are built it could end up being irrelevant.

High Elf master race. That 50 bonus magicka becomes 50 more health for me at high levels, as it lets me hit my targeted magicka cap 5 levels faster.

It really depends on your style of play. If you play like a wizard or battlemage, where you are using lots of spells then the Altmer's 50 bonus points of magicka is a huge boon(also Highborn which imo is the best race-specific power). Its not as useful if you play as an Altmer who favors only melee combat. Depending on your preferences they can be a tremendous help and even if they don't fit your play style they can't hurt.
