Argonians all the way. Love the racials and can be good at pretty much everything (especially theives even though mines a mage ((Warlock))

Wow we get so many of these threads I'm starting to think we should just sticky one.

I mainly play as Bretons or Altmer, due to my massive lean towards mages.
I might make a Dunmer soon though. Depends if I can make a good looking one in Oblivion.

I don't like Redguards.

How in the heck does Imperial beat Orc and Redguard? Imperials are like the empty shell that holds nothing and contributes nothing. Orcs and Redguards are like in the awesome pile and Imperials are like the useless pile.

I'm also really surprised at the poor performance of the kitty cats. I thought they were pretty cool. Two of my characters were kitties.

Argonian - my favorite, but not surprised as the result.

Nord - Vikings, not surprised they took a healthy precent.

Dark Elves - not attracted to this demographic at all. Can't understand the popularity.

No comment on other races.

i always play as wood elfs on oblvion and dark elfs on morrowind. i dont play much daggerfall or arena.

Argonian: Favorite due to lore.

Khajiit: Takes 2nd due to my love for their speech and culture.

Bosmer: 3rd...Who doesn't find their race interesting?

Nord/Orc: Tie for 4th Like the story of the Orc and, as many can see, I like the outcast races...My love for Nords stems from Solstheim and what I have heard about Skyrim's history and heros.

Oh come on ever since e the Fiend Folio in D&D everyone wanted to be a drow or dark elf as a player race. Okay they wanted it before that, they just didn't have the opportunity to play it. I hate them like I hate all Elves, but when they first came out I loved them.

I think Hitler sums it up in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK3pbyP-57A with his opinion of the Clans.

I was never into that world, maybe I missed the memo.

I usually start games as a nord, but I also love playing as an orc and khajiit. High elves would come at a close third. ;D

Argonians first, Dark Elves second. I just think that of all races they are the ones that look and are the coolest.

Imperial

I guess Dark Elf - I have played several other races in my various games but never had the success that a Dark Elf gave - it's seemingly a good all rounder that I can adapt to the needs of the game as I play through.
I never enjoyed playing a beast race and normally only last a few levels before I consign them to the "forget about" bin.

1. Orc for their brutish strength and good looks
2. Dark Elf for their extended magicka use and ability to handle a sword
3. Argonian for their reptilian awesomeness and the ability to breathe underwater without enchantments

I'm pretty new when it comes to RPGs, and maybe because of this, i dunno, i always lean towards the more human characters like Imperial/Breton/Nord. I may try a Dark elf mage in MW, dare i ? :rolleyes:

Dark Elf

Breton, argonian, and khajiits. I think the only race I haven't probably played, are Dunmer.

It depends on the game. Usually dark elf, but none of my first characters were dark elves. My first Oblivion game I played as an Argonian, and my first Morrowind game I played as an Orc. In Arena, I played through the game as a Redguard, and I was actually quite satisfied the way my character turned out. In Daggerfall, I played as a Khajiit. I guess it just comes down to what race I played first in each game.

Redguards:
They're awesome warriors and have that ability to strenghten up alot for a couple of minutes in the more tougher fights

In total, my first time in morrowind was as a khajiit, later on as a redguard & so far i've created 2 redguards in oblivion so you can say i'm happy with that choice..


I'm a bit dissapointed how they are ranked however :/. I've started the same poll a couple of years back on 2 other gameforums and they were one of the most favorites next to the khajiit and offcourse the most popular: darkelf

Despite current trends I have put more hours in Khajiit than any other race. Bosmer and Imperials got the least, and Khajiit took the cake 70% of the time. I couldn't live without Eye of Night. ^_^

Altmer Psijic
Bosmer Thief
Dunmer Assassin

Before I would play whatever race suited a character concept, but ever since playing the Great House Dagoth mod most of my chars have been Dunmeri.

An I the only one who favors Dunmer not because of the whole "durrhurr grimdark elf" aspect (I could really care less about that, and in some ways it kind of irritates me that people think that they're "cool" because of that factor), but because of their exotic and harsh culture and grave, purposeful demeanor? I've always, since Morrowind, found Dunmer culture a fascinating look into another world and culture, with a lot of great "hooks" from which to base character concepts upon.

The second (And for similar reasons) are the Nords. They're more elemental, but as brutal and proud as the Dunmer in their own way. I'm sure in its own way that Skyrim is as compelling and bizzare a setting as Morrowind is; and I hope we get to experience it firsthand.

Nords

Heavy armour, big weapons, bring the pain

Also it's reflective on the viking/Scandinavian culture which I love

Think about the sickest looking class, that can be any class desired, that comes out to be an Argonian ( for me ).Argonians make great mages, assassins, thiefs, and warriors. Over my time in TES games, Argonians where quite wierd at first, in Morrawind I decided That I hated Dark Elves,and they used to be my favorite race. Argonians where just cool. I hated how Dunmer make argonians, Khajiit, and Orcs ( ORCS-Actually I don't care about them, even though their beast in Morrawind).Argonians are just awesome for me, and I personally Know that will always be my first race in any TES game to come, Its my tradition.

These are my Oblivion characters-(not labeled by names, only by race)
Argonians-29
Bretons-4
High Elves-7
Dark Elves-1
Imperials-14
Khajiit-2
Orcs-2
Nords-3
RedGuards-4
Bosmer-17

*My highest was a level 42 Argonian.
*I have so many files because of how many where wasted with un-curable vampirism on The Play Station 3.
*Only 30% of my files are successful.
*I have always kept count on my files, and their classes.
*Im sorry if you are someone who read this and suffered it.
