I vote Dark Elves.

There is no "best race." IMO

Easiest to play is probably Breton. There's no "best," though.

As always, glargg is correct.

Breton make the easiest characters to play thanks to their magicka boost and magicka restistance, which is a godsend in the lategame where starting attributes no longer matter.

However, there is no best race. I'm fond of Dunmer, Bosmer, Altmer and Bretons, none of which is based on stats. I like the lore behind the mer races and Helena has showed me a side to Breton's I never knew.

I nearly choked on my bagel before I realized I was looking at the oblivion forum :tongue:

Argonians because they are cool

Bosmer becasue they're small targets and hard to hit. And they have big ears to hear their foes from a long distance. :twirl:
