what race should i pick if i want to play warrior type character?

1 handed weapon + sheild or 2 handed weapon

tank type/ heavily armored

what are redguards good at?

what kind of build do they excel in?

Orc or Nord imo.

Any race can do anything, but a few start with better stats in your case.

Nords -

• +10 Two-Handed
• +5 Block, One-Handed, Light Armor

Orcs -

• +10 Heavy Armor
• +5 Block, One-Handed, Two-Handed

Redguards -

• +10 One-Handed
• +5 Archer, Block

For warrior tanks type builds I personally like Nords the best.

Plus there are some good Nordic heavy armors to theme

be a rebel and pick high elf.

Any race can be a warrior, they easily make up the differences in starting skills by level 5.

Orcs and Imperials already have that boost though. Heavy Armor, One Handed, Block.

I always played with a Dunmer, wuth 1 handed and shield. And I like it.

High Elf.

If the novelty alone doesn't convince you, remember that their +50 magicka allows you to invest 5 levels worth of health and stamina so you lose very little if you pursue Restoration magic.

Don't forget Imperials, they make quite capable swoard and board warriors for once.

I'm playing an Orc warrior at the moment and they make fantastic warriors, especially with their berserker rage.

Orc or Nord is probably your best choice.

I prefer Orc the race ability is pretty good. But the 50% Frost res for Nords is also very good.

Bosmer.

Redguard.

Start a new Khajiit or keep the old.

Its important to stay loyal.
