Most fitting race for a Dragonborn?

Post » Tue Nov 30, 2010 6:04 am

A Nord, I realize most dragon born were Imperials but Nords fit the title so much better.

Any race can do it, so I guess they're equally fit.

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! :P

I see them more of Protectors of the Dragons than a Dragonborn
Because i think Argonians & Dragons got the same Blood
And their Skin looks a bit like a Dragon
They are also both Lizards

Both Resisted to Poisons & Disease

Unless it's an Argonian traitor that kill someone that's a different race but has the same Blood

Isn't it the case with every other race? If we are dragonborn, we are like dragons 50%...yet we kill them. Maybe the argonian dragonborn is not a traitor, he must choose between saving his people (argonians, 100% like him) from the threat of dragons (not his people, 50% like him).

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.


Being Dragonborn has nothing whatsoever to do with race or bloodline; the Septim Dynasty was very much the oddball, and was the result of a pact between Tiber Septim and the Aedra, to stand as guardian of the Dragonfire spells that kept the dimensional doors to Oblivion sealed. That is the only reason the Septims were born one Dragonborn after the other. And it is not a matter of simply being born with the potential. There has to be awareness of what you are, and training to even begin to wield the power. And for quite a few centuries, that power was blocked by whatever sealed the dragons away. You could maybe learn some shouts, but without the souls to power it, the effects were probably minimal, if any. Yes, the Nord's had Thu'um.....or more accurately, they learned to copy a tiny bit of the Dragon magic (You'll notice that -none- of the recent Septims seem to have given a shout....even when it would have been to their benefit. Such things go into history, after all.....).

Skyrim is in the midst of a civil war. A nordic Dovakhin could easily be drawn into it......and thereby screw up and cost the world its life. Someone who isn't so emmeshed with local events might be better.
Someone who knows loss would be a better choice than someone who has never seen blood or death.
Dragonshouts are magic; wouldn't one of the magical races be better equipped to handle or learn them?

Sure, I like to play my Dunmer lass.....getting into non human opposite genderthink is challenging in its own right. And as circumstances are set up, with so many refugees from Morrowind, you could have 'Dunmer' who have been born and raised in Skyrim....and don't really consider themselves either race. And hence might just avoid the foibles of each, and find their own problems to trip them up.

And besides, if you gotta choice, then you ain't gotta do 'the obvious', do you?

Because it is a gift from the gods, and NOT a birthright, then any race is as likely as another, and none make MORE sense then any other, this post is a in game racist post lol, you just looking for justification for making your character a Nord or whatever , I will not feed your vanity, just choose any you like and make the game work for you however you like boss lol

Argonian... Both have scales, bad breath and push the "s".
So the likeliness of a dragon having flirted with an argonian female is absolute.

Haha nicely said. I make an Argonian female dragonborn, maybe I can flash some legs to seduce the dragons into leaving me alone at low levels :hehe:

Argonians are the the most fitting. It just seems a bit creepy thinking about the other races getting freaky with a dragon.

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.

Because we are men!

Silly elf....beast....whatever you are.

Actually dragonborn is born from Akatosh messing around with some mortal female (or male)
Since he is divine creature with huge power he can take any desired form and that's why Dragonborn can be of any race
So you perverts can forget about dragon-on-bosmer-girl-action :sweat:

Breton. Man-mer really does the deal, with word and sword.

P.S.
