Help me decide on a Race for my char!

Post » Fri Oct 14, 2011 4:06 am

I want a hardy, strong, reserved and intelligent individual. Not scared of breaking the mould to get the job done. Weapons and combat tactical specialist, can work as a single agent, leader or group. He's not quite 'Spartan' but he does believe in being tested for skill. He masters archery, 1H and 2H. He can attempt sneaking for the sake of getting the mission done but prefers tactical and fast paced fights.

He is usually calm, collected and logical - but can fly into a battle rage at a moments notice. His weakness is that he is forgiving, if he knows a person is sorry or believes it, he often lets them go regardless of his orders. For this reason he is not a military warrior, as orders don't mean much to him unless he genuinely believes in the mission's aims.

Here's the first while of his game...

The minute he gets out of prison, he makes his way to riften. He leaves his armour, weapons and combat items on the ground and begins his villages cultural test. A marathon. This one in particular starts in riften and goes through the center of the skyrim map to solitude. Along the way he cannot rest, wait or sleep, but he can sleep in an outdoor camp - he cannot sell or buy weaponry but he can loot and fight. He cannot use carriages or horses. On survival of the marathon, he deems himself worthy to consider himself a strong and advlt man. He is genuine in mind, smart and self aware - doesn't submit himself to class labels and titles and believes only in his own spirit or strength, warriorhood and honesty.

He is not racist, but believes in utlizing racial abilities in battle situations. He enjoys drinking on occassion but is not a heavy drinker, and would much prefer to practice some of his martial skills. Than to socialize.

So... What race should I pick?
What class should I go for?

This is just for a bit of fun. :)

Well this definetly sounds like a warriror class so let's start with Redguard, Orc, Nord, or Imperial.

Orcs traditionally aren't very smart, and I'm not sure the Imperial is hardy enough for this marathon style.

Id go with Nord or Redguard.

Redguard's are more martial, more warrior-like, plus adrenaline sounds like the perfect asset to use in the marathon as well as the battle-switch. They are the most suited to combat and still retain the oppurunity to remain intelligent.

So I'd go Redguard
:goodjob:

Dunmar.

o) Skilled with a sword
o) Skilled with a bow
o) Intelligent enough to have a natural grasp of magic (though not as high as Altmer or Breton)
o) Can be sneaky, like a ranger

Could RP one who has seen both sides of the coin (slave master and slave) and has chosen to play it neutral because of that...

His villages tradition is totally fan-fictional, It'd be a village in whatever race I choose.. Redguard seems like the option so far, Redguard, Nord or Dunmer - though Dunmer don't have the feel inherently, maybe he could get it with some good char creation.

I'd personally lean towards Redguard. Runners-up were Imperial and (for some reason) Argonian in my mind.
