Those annoying little Bosmer. Every chance I get, I kill one.

My least favorite are Bosmer. Something about them just strikes me as annoying.

Orcs are pretty close as well, at least in the Oblivion version of them. The voices and diction seem off to me, and I think if they'd just made them be something other than green it wouldn't be as bad.

Playing with the skin color sliders can make a blue orc, or other various colors.


And I personally love being a Bosmer. Being small means you are a smaller target. Some say they are ugly, but aren't almost all NPCs in oblivion ugly to be honest. I have a good looking Bosmer I made without using any mods. Also, you shouldn't hate a whole race due to 2 NPCs. That is called globalization and is plain wrong. Would you say the same thing about a whole race in real life if just one person of that race bothered you?

I also would go as far to say that there are probably more bosmer lovers than haters playing oblivion, and I believe they are one of the more popular races. Especially when I think about how from my experience with various polls I have found that more people play sneaky archers than people play warriors or mages. Bosmer is the perfect race for archers imho.

My least favorite are Bosmer Males, forever and always.

My most favorite - the ones who amuse me the most in Oblivion - seem to be Orc Males. I don't necessarily enjoy playing as them but there are a few with very memorable, hilarious dialogue.

It looks like Bethesda succeeded as planned with the Bosmer men.

For example, here is an in game rumor in Anvil:

"Heinrich Oaken-Hull is married to a Bosmer? I suppose the women are less annoying than the men."

Orcs! :tongue: I don't think they're portrayed as brutish as they should be. In Oblivion, they're mildly rude at best, which I find highly annoying. If orcs appear in Skyrim, I'm hoping they're just as mean & nasty as they usually appear in other RPGs and lore.

I had an elf character who was personally trying to extinguish every orc in her game before the A-bomb took care of things. :( Cheydinhal was basically orc-free, except for the one who's in the Fighter's Guild (who I think is essential).

I dislike both beast races. I don't particularly hate them, but I just can't imagine myself playing as something with a tail. I also chose male, because I never hit women. (Unless they're trying to kill me)

I find bosmer quiet quirkly, I have several myself. I find that they make for the best looking if done right. My favorite is a skooma-svcking ex-healer in a chapel. :P

I was gonna click on Bosmer but then I saw the "I like all" option. I like all the races but the Wood Elves are my least favorite.

I really don't hate any of the races. I think they all bring something special to the game :shrug:


I agree with you. I don't HATE any of the races. But if there was one I don't prefer it would be the Khajit race. Mostly because I don't like cats. I guess that is just a personal thing. :hehe:

I believe I just described Fargoth as best I could. A little odd that.

I have never played as Khajitt or a Male Bosmer (For Obvious reasons on the Male Bosmer I don't want my character to be a midget). My least favorite race is Khajitt but I can't stand playing as a High Elf because of those stupid 25% Weaknesses.
