I plan on playing as a Dunmer. But I may try Nord on my second play through.

I'm still caught between Nord and Breton.

My first and only character on morrowind was a Nord, then on Oblivion my first character was a Nord, but then I got turned into a vampire and the vampire quest glitched so I had to stay a vampire (i didn't know about the downloadable content at that time). So I went to be a breton because in my mind, the Nord race was now cursed with glitches...

In Skyrim however, I don't want to play as a small, magic dueling pansy though.. I don't feel that Bretons have what it takes to set the barbaric scene that I am ging for. Nords on the other hand do set that scene. Orcs could set it to, but I am not playing as an orc, because I like playing as the human race in any game.

I'm stuck.

Todd Howard quotes:

Oblivion: "ugly"

Skyrim: "cool"

Yes, I know. There's going to be more voice actors too, so the race voices should be better done, and the races should have more differentiation making them more interesting.

I always played as Dunmer in Morrowind, or a custom race. In Oblivion a custom dark elf race. I'm curious how Bosmer will be.

Guess I'm going to have to play as a Bosmer in Black Marsh...
