Dunmer lifespan around 200.

Bosmer; 150.

Altmer, I'm not so sure. Your calculation of Dunmer being only 200 is debatable. Master Neloth first appeared in Morrowind and Bloodmoon and is still alive by the events of Dragonborn, and able to recall events from hundreds of years ago. Miraak wasn't a Dunmer and he was far older than Neloth.

I'm not talking about the mage/sorcerer type. Average Dunmer don't have that ageless ability, Morrowind would be overcrowded if they all can live that long. Untrue, actually.

Dunmer may live for a bit longer, but they are very limited in how many children they can have. Most Dunmer have one child, if any. (Again, Barenziah was an exception to the rule). I see they have one-child policy. That would allow Dunmer parents to spend more time doing work for the farm collectives which supply food to Morrowind population in their mushroom cities. Well, to be fair, there ARE a lot of Plantations in Vvardenfell.

But, I actually meant that they were physically unable to have more than one child for some reason.
