Why do I have to be a manly sounding man? I want to play a nord but would rather not be straddled with a deep booming voice. I'm certainly not asking for a female voice set but rather let me choose a voice set out of the available males.
You don't have to. You could play one of the lesser races if it doesn't offend your sensibilities.
I picked Dunmer, Nord, Breton, Breton.
