Nords are the closest descendants of the Atmora men, they have the biggest ties to dragons, and Tiber Septim was a dragonborn and a Nord

Septim line broke with Martin's death. So now, any race is appropriate. I'm sticking with Dunmer.

NO! you're not allowed to play anything but a Nord. Nord makes the most sense and because of that you're not allowed to play as a Dunmer!

this

Sorry, I'm immune to Hypno Toad. :no: Silly nord.

how prejudice of you.lol.

Argonians as they are blatantly the result of some dragon/woman breeding :yuck:

Nord... btw, those who say that it should be angorian becouse dragons are like lizards, Its a dragon's soul in him not dragons body

i guess this question is obsolete. everybody knows, that its naturally a nord, no?

Thu-um (dragon shouts) has previously been described as an ancient Nordic magic, so Nords.

These Races fits for Dragonborn unmers,Nords &Imperials

Dunmers because of they Resistance to fire

Nords it's their Home and they fought many wars and are Great Warriors

Imperial They are the Ruler and many Dragonborns were Imperials


The Race that i won't know if it gonna fit Dragonborn : Khajiit,Bretons,Orcs &Redguards


These Races does not fit for Dragonborn : Altmer,Bosmer &Argonian

Argonians won't fit for a Dragonborn because it's a Lizard too(And i don't think they should fight eachother)

Bosmer i don't think it fits for a Dragon because i think the Bosmers are gonna be like Dwarves and i don't think they gonna have a good Dragonshout

Aldmer is only strong in Magic but have a High Weakness to it so when a Dragon is doing a Fire attack they have a Chance to die alot quicker then other Races




The Race i am gonna play first is a Nord

Then Argonian even if it won't fit as Dragonborn and then an Imperial

Any race can be a Dragonborn.

Breton, because of the Dragon Skin greater power.

Based on this logic also humans shouldn't fight humans, elves shouldn't fight elves etc....Everyone should have a group hug. Nope.

As an Argonian Dovahkiin show the dragons who is the better reptile!

I thought the entire point was anyone could be Dragonborn, there have been loads of secret bloodlines, you don't even realise yourself at first, and the Nord/Imperial thing is only because Tiber Septim was so famous, the Dragonborn in the open as it were. Plenty of other candidates, Alessia, Mankar Camoran, maybe Nerevar, can't see any reason why humans are more fitting than the other races.

Nord, that makes sense I think.

I think you need to separate what people want to play as opposed to answering real question, which is what race is most fitting.

To me it's a no brainer. Based on location, trailers, lore, etc. it has to be a Nord. But I can tell that some people are answering instead what they want to play instead of really answering the question. Honestly, why would some of those other races be more fitting? Back that up with something other than your desire to play that race, noted that some have already done this.

Nord ... what has been seen in the trailer cannot be unseen, so I feel compelled to make my first character a nord with a brown beard and a horned helmet.
I really want to find that helmet in game :rolleyes:

Off topic will all the races have have the same accent for dragonshouts? I want to hear a female khajiit shouting fus roh dah in that raspy voice, orcs should should pretty beastly

Dunmer... how can you PROVE the kid was really aborted? therefor there might actually be a little dunmer not knowing he's actually the son of Tiber Septim... and therefor a long lost hair to the septim dynasty, and therefor a DRAGONBORN!

Nord, obviously enough.

I think Dunmer because their homeland borders Skyrim (and there will be quite a lot of them in Skyrim after the eruption of Red Mountain destroyed a good portion of Morrowind, forcing a lot to migrate to Solstheim and Skyrim), dragons once had a large population in Vvardenfell until the cliff racers drove them away, their race has large fire resistance (75% in-game), and the dramatic irony of having an elf dragonborn trumps the cliched alternative (Tiber Septim was Nord blah blah blah) in terms of story quality. Dunmer ftw!

Argonians they look like dragons.

A Dunmer, naturally. A Nord was the Nerevarine, its only fitting a Dunmer is the Dragonborn.

(if your one to be believing in such things as a set Nerevarine, that is)

yh ^^ this

Argonian, seeing as they're also reptiles. (Or should they be amphibians as they can breathe underwater?)

Anyway; the Dovahkiin are chosen by divine providence, i.e. the Aedra, race has nothing to do with it.
