well i was planing to play as a nord warrior but hearing all the other race abilities makes Nord a lame choice.


i mean Nords just get battlecry that makes some enemies flee and you need to run after them

3 bandits come to attack me "Activates battlecry" - MOHAHASHAHHAShsSHAH!!! everybody runs, "wait a minute i need to kill you come back!".

i mean look:

KHAJIIT for example gets night eye and claw attacks.

ARGONIANS gets fast recovery and can breath underwater.

wood elf can control animals.

i was thinking to change from nord to redguard to get Adrenaline Rush what does it do slow mo?

Nords also have 50% frost resistance.

Each race also gets skill bonuses. Like one race starts with a higher one-handed weapon skill.

I would use it if I was dying and I needed to get away...I would use the battlecry then flee.

I have to admit with dragonshouts already present the battlecry sounds really lame.

Is this confirmed?

just get spells or bows to hit them when they run away

that doesnt bother me i can work skills up eventually,

the only thing that bothers me is the Active abilites

Yes. A forum member who played at Eurogamer said that Character Creation doesn't list all of the bonuses.

But he also didnt say what the missing bonuses were

Someone else who played did. There were about 5 people who posted hands on impressions.

i'm not too concerned. Beth will have it balanced.

I don't like the way you spell "Boohoo"

It makes it sound as if you're asking for a man named Boo. Boo is a scary name for a man. It means that they're either Boo Radley, or a ghost. Both cases are equally scary.

Using a Battlecry to Flee? What is you? A Nord or a Potato!?

(Just Kidding)

I wish all the races had decent abilities like argonians/khajiit/woodelf to give them something unique. Breton my fav race, seems the worst imo.

I think it's cool and I would use it before every major battle.

Imperials only get a once-a-day charm spell and find more coins; yet I'm not complaining.
Orsimer and Redguards are equally as useless. Argonians, Bretons, and tall elves got the bigger piece of pie I think.

Yup. It's always the active (passive? perma-effect) abilities that still stand out in the long run. Or something. As far as the new regens go. I imagine the Altmer's was a passive regen, but come to think of it, I still wouldnt mind if it was a once-a-day mana restore like the Argonian's. (Unless they were perma regen HP too.)

The imperials did make me chuckle. More loot everywhere!

Mmm... delicious, delicious potato.
