I'm thinking of playing Skyrim with different races, and I want to categorize them in a specific way based on their races.
See, the way that the game is set up, their are 10 different races (you know what they are) and 10 different styles of play:
1. Pure Warrior
2. Warrior/Mage
3. Warrior/Thief
4. Pure Mage
5. Mage/Warrior
6. Mage/Thief
7. Pure Thief
8. Thief/Warrior
9. Thief/Mage
10. Jack-of-all-Trades
I'm having trouble finding the best places to put some of the races, given their descriptions, and I wanted to get some input.
DISCLAIMER!!!: I know that Each race is capable of each style of play. Most Nords wouldn't use magic, yet Shalidor was one of the greatest mages in all of Tamriel. These suggestions should be based on the law of averages, so there is no reason to post "well, any race can be anything, really".
Here's where I am leaning right now, but I would like to get other insights.
1. Pure Warrior- Nord (Orc was a close second, but they seem more magically inclined than Nords)
2. Warrior/Mage- Orcs
3. Warrior/Thief- Redguard (Their lack of armor makes me think they are better rogues than knights, relying on fast movement and skill).
4. Pure Mage- High Elf (Breton is a really close second)
5. Mage/Warrior- Breton (But should it be High Elf? I don't know)
6. Mage Thief- Dark Elf
7. Pure Thief- Khajiit
8. Thief/Warrior- Wood Elf
9. Thief/Mage- Argonian
10. Jack-of-all-Trades- Imperial
The real thing that bugs me is knowing which makes better Pure Mages, High Elves or Bretons. If any of you think that some of these races belong in different categories, I would love to hear why.
