Most fitting race for a Dragonborn? : V - Skyrim

» Mon Nov 29, 2010 6:15 pm

Dunmer. Their native province is both next to Skyrim and the closest to Akavir, the native home of dragons. Dunmers also have 75% Resist Fire.

Any of the races of men.

Obviously a Dragonborn can be any race, but I think as far as going against Alduin and all, and given Alduin's natural enemy is Shor/Lorkhan, and given that Shor is the hero of men, then there you go.

Frank the Bunny I love your avatar, Donnie Darko was an amazing movie... But anyways on topic, I kinda feel like i have to play as a nord

Imperial, we just simply know what's best for the world and the other races in it.

wood elf should be the one. these stories tend to take themselves too seriosly too often. I wonder what his shouts will even sound like?

Bethesda thinks it's a Nord, so i'll go with that. Can you really picture swapping out the Nord Dovahkiin in the trailer with a Bosmer? That Dragon shout might seem a bit strange.

Must it be a Nord simply because the trailer shows a Nord? I often played as a human race in Morrowind because it felt like there was more impact in gaining the respect of the Ashlander tribes and the Dunmer houses. I think playing a Dunmer in Skyrim (i hate Altmers and Bosmers) is a better choice than a Nord or Imperial. 75% Resist Fire is very useful too...

No, Imga.

I agree. Imga: the best mer.

But really though any sentient mortal race in Mundus would fit to a t.

Pfff. Khajiit, obviously.

You called them mer (elves) but they are not. :facepalm:

I was being facetious. Good grief do I have to make that plain, really?? It's a reference to their wacky behavior to desperately pretend that they're one of the Altmer. Duh.

well the septim family in oblivion were dragon born right? and they were imperial so i think they would be it. im gonna be a dark elf tho

A little lead-up would have been nice, though. You kind of just sprang it on us. But, it is quite the LOL moment for me now. I could totally see a snooty cape-wearing gorilla fighting a dragon. :laugh:

» Tue Nov 30, 2010 9:23 am

I guess Nord...

Anyway in my opinion it's much more interesting when fate/gods decide to make someone that's totally different Dovahkiin.

That's just how I roll. Also, I'm sooo gonna roleplay one should there's finally a mod released for that race, I assure you! His nickname will be "Batmer" :batman: .

Fair enough. I will name mine DovahKong.

Going to do a Warrior First so Nord

Then Breton or Imperial

Any race is most fitting for a Dragonborn since they are appointed by the gods.

» Mon Nov 29, 2010 8:11 pm

Nords. They kind of invented Thu'um.
Also, Tiber Septim was a Nord.

Sure for Skyrim they made the lore in such a way that every race can be Dragonborn, but as far as I'm concerned it's pretty much a Nord thing.
