Are their racial stats terrible or something? Also whats the most popular character to play as and why?

I play a khajiit :wink_smile: I love how they look in Skyrim, and I also use their nightvision ability quite often. As an assassin it's quite useful to be able to see your target without your target being able to see you in the dark.

i think most people just dont want to be a cat or a lizard.

I beg to differ. I don't even know where you got that idea. Argonians are super popular. Dunmer is a fan favorite.

Speak up, please. http://pix.playground.ru/download/gallery/276634/27f4244b3e114cf796eedd6fd4fd04f6.jpg.

Probably because people are more comfortable with traditional Men and Mer fanatsy races found in fanatsy films, games, and novels. This is probabaly the case Elder Scrolls veteran or no.



Also Khajiit, Argonian and Imperial racial abilities are terrible, and for Khajiit in particular, embarresing compared to the extremely powerful/useful abailities of the Orc, Redguard, and High Elf races.

In adition, I imagine stealth characters are the least played types, while Mage and Warrior are clearly defined and lend themselves with more realism to the other races in terms of abilities, physical appearence, story, and once again normality in the sense of traditional fantasy.


That being said, even though I rarely play them, I enjoy really the look of the Khajiit. But a Khajiit and Argonian Dragonborn? Yeah sorry I don't see that at all.

I'm going to role an Argonian when I make my assassin character in memory of Ocheeva. :violin:

There is a 2/3 chance I'll be playing one of these for my stealth assassin playthrough.

I've played many different classes and roles in the game, but I've always returned to my Khajiit thief as my main character. I think it's the tail.

This might be true well for me at least. I keep saying eventually I'll make a khajiit thief or an angornian assassin but I always end up picking human for some reason.

I think most ppl want to play with a sixy as possible female human.. No matter what class.. Haha..


I know i do!

I play an Argonian "Ranger"!

Think Strider like and you have my intent. A ranger skilled at sword and shield, as wellas using a bow. Also quite good at sneaking and healing. It is all about the roleplaying, not playing after your race's abilities.

I mean an Argonian Dragonborn is so obvious, I allready look like a cross between a dragon and a human.

Ah well, I am off to find the horn of this Windcaller dude.

Hi Justin. Can you tell me please where did you get the idea that no one is "every" khajiit or argonian? Do you have an official list from bethesda? Can we see that? Thank you.

Khajit: because im not a furry

Argonian: Because their voices annoy the hell out of me

I prefer playing an imperial simply because
1: I love roman/greek [censored]
2: Its more immersive for me. I enjoy making my character out to be me. Can't do that when im a damn raptor man.

I always make the majority of my characters argonian, and hist-skin has saved me on many occasions.

I have a habit of making attractive characters, so that rules out stuff like cat or lizard people

Although, I know people who love playing Argonians (Kahjit... not so much)

Nearly all polls that ask for favorite race in TES have a clear majority in both argonian and dunmer.

I'm playing an argonian because that's the coolest race of them all.

I am currently playing and argonian thief, but I am only doing the thieves guild, the brotherhood, and civil war missions. Other than that it is all free roam and killing or stealing as I see fit.

Terrible racial abilities? I happen to find Khajiit Night Eye extremely useful, as I play a thief-type character. Plus, the claw attacks actually make you pretty damn powerful when you're not attacking with weapons. As for a Khajiit Dragonborn, well I find it hard to think of a Dunmer, Orc, Bosmer or Altmer... Heck, pretty much anything other than Nord or Imperial and Redguard is weird for a Dragonborn.

Plenty of people play Khajiit and I personally love Argonians.

I personally prefer Argonian above the other races. I have no idea why, as I dislike sneaky characters and prefer to just destroy any one who attacks me with spells.

I don't play Cat or Lizard but I think im gonna make a Nightcat sometime maybe :thumbsup:

I know what you mean. I'm playing a Khajiit thief atm and I don't feel connected at all to the whole dragonborn plot compared to the Nord battlemage I played before.
Why would some thief go around shouting these words, anyway? I prefer sneaking around enemies discreetly.

I would if they were more beastlike. I don't like the way they look as it is.

I'm currently playing a Khajiit Spellsword. The racial bonuses have rounded out the rest of my abilities quite nicely. I love how the Khajiit look, so it's been an aesthetic change of pace for me. I'm always playing humans in games and it gets downright boring.

I'm planning on a Argonian Thief for my second character. Argonians look awesome, and I loved them in Oblivion. They're just visually...interesting.

These choices also stem from imagination. Roleplaying isn't simply all about stats and numbers, as some people tend to think. And yes, I'm a pen and paper D&D player also. It's about trying something different and engaging the world in unique, fresh ways.

Besides, it cracks me up when a Bandit says, "I'm going to make a rug out of you, cat!"
