Um, no everyone does NOT hate wood elves, and if you start bashing people and races like that, this thread is likely to be closed.


Not sure if serious... :huh:

He wasn't "bashing" anyone or trolling. No need to get so worked up over an innocuous post.

How about serious with a little bit of sarcastic humor? :P

I was serious about the "NOT everyone" part. The other part was more of a tease... Guess I didn't make that very clear, huh? :facepalm:

(There, I added an appropriate smiley to the other post to make it more clear that I was not totally serious... ;) )

Redguard/Breton/Khajit/Nord

Redguard Battlemages...Are really effing fun. Breton's are badass. Khajiit? I'm horrified of the dark caves that EVERY [censored] QUEST seems to be set in in Oblivion, so starting off with Nighteye and playing a predatory type of character reassures me :P Much better than cranking up the gamma.

Nords...I'd never play a Nord in any other game, but in Skyrim, I'll consider doing it later on. I'll likely be too attached to my first Skyrim character though (the one who's backstory has been most inspired for me).

Thanks for clarifying, I couldn't tell if it was sarcastic or not. :biggrin:

Well, the poll is asking what races have been played the most/least, which can only apply to the past games, as well as for Skyrim, which isn't always the same answer. I can say for sure that I'll eventually play as an Orc in Skyrim, but I've only played as an Orc once before in Morrowind.

Argonians- Can't really explain I just love reptiles.
Imperials- If I cant be a Lizard-Man, why not just a man? I also like their occasional Roman influences.
Khajiit- They are looking great in Skyrim.

Orcs saved themselves by looking totally badcensored in Skyrim.

Nord, I have only one time not play a Nord or Nord type in any open world rpg I can customize my character in.
Khajit, <----This was the one time, a thief/assassin type named Ra Zarabi in OB. I am a cat lover, may play one again(they have wiskers now!) in SR for my 2nd playthrough.
Never play anyone else, but I guess I will pick Argonian, there neat.

Redguard and Bosmer are at the bottom I cant see myself ever playing these(or really any of the other races, but these the least chance).

1. Argonians - I love reptiles. :)
2. Khajiit - Cats are great/interesting too.
3. Breton - My mage choice. They seem honorable too.

And I never play as Dunmer. Slavery and insults.

1. Bosmer
2. Dunmer
3. Breton
4. Redguard

that is how it has been, of course playing other races between number 3 and 4.
Skyrim may prove differently, but my first character will be a Bosmer.

I said
Breton most - love my paladins and/or regen-ninjas
Nord second - (Never really played as Nords in OB but that's cause OB Nords were hard to play as for me. I think Skyrim Nords will be better and more flexible
Dunmer third - Dunmer is really who I play as second most in TES but I'm more excited about making a Nord scout than making a Dunmer ninja
Imperial least - I don't like Imperials. A. they generally come off to me as pretentious asshats with an annoying superiority complex ('Mericans*) and no real specific skills. I mean yeah they do good with HA and speech craft and what have you, but that's nothing that can't be attained with a little extra work as a Breton. and B. I just got sick of looking at them in OB. Granted by the end of Skyrim I'll probably be sick of being surrounded by vikings, but that's for another day.

I see you favor Wu Tang style..

By Wu Tang style I'm referring to beast races. Can't say I agree with your preference. In fact I really only noticed your post cause you were one of the closest, time wise, to my poll where someone else actually wanted to use a Breton. But..with the bad-a appearance overhaul of Khajiit I just may be inclined to replace that Dunmer ninja with a Khajiit woodsman-savage-type ;P
