races you never play as

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 6:19 pm

I never play as Orcs, Imperials, or Altmer. I'm currently on a Redguard character in Oblivion and finding I don't like it as much as I've liked Nords or even Dunmer for the warrior role (probably because I can't help putting a lot of energy towards magic use, at least for healing and buffing.) I'm mostly a steath player, though, so I almost always play a Bosmer or Khajiit. My favorite so far has just been Khajiit. For whatever reason I've just never played an Argonian or a Breton for more than a couple levels.

I don't think I've ever had an Imperial character. They're just too ordinary for my tastes.

I play as a Dunmer about 90% of the time, but the races i never play as are Redguard, Breton and Imperial. Dont like them at all.

I don't play as talking bananas, gremlins, chain smokers, upright green pigs, stupid drunks, chocolate, Caesar salads or Friar Tuck. :P

Obvious how?

I would also like to know the answer to this.

As for races I don't play as, I've never played as a Khajiit. I've played as every race, usually for roleplaying reasons, but I've never found myself to be a Khajiit. It's not that I don't like them, I've just never found reason to play as a Khajiit. :shrug:

To make this easier, the only races I've played are the Argonians and the Bretons.

There might be some truth to it though.

P.S. I hope I did not offend anyone, that was not my prerogative.

I have never played as a Khajiit or Altmer.

Redguards are my favorite, followed by Dark Elves and Bretons.

I barely ever play the other races, but I have occasionally.

I think most of us were thinking that, but I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Okay, you caught me, I don't really hate cats. But I'd take a dog over a cat any day. The biggest reason would be, even though it kinda svcks, being a 6ft cat on two legs feels too weird for me. Didn't even really like playing the cat people in EQ.

I understand why you would not want to be a 6 foot cat who stand on 2 legs. Speaking of which, I wish there were some khajits who looked like panthers.

Looks like a panther, or has the coloring of a panther? Also, khajiit has two "i" between the "j" and the "t"

Has the coloring, they all have different facial features anyway.

I never play as Orcs, Woodelves, Redguards, Argonians, or Khajiits.

Orcs: Too brutish. They also look naturally aggressive. I know its an action adventure RPG, but I want maintain a level of pacification.

Woodelves: Too short. They seem to be known for being light and agile, making them ideal scouts and thieves...I don't play as those classes.

Redgaurds: I see enough of redgaurds when I look in the mirror. :P

Argonians + Khajiits: Not exactly cool looking to me. http://www.videogamesblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/lizardman-aeon-calcos-in-soul-calibur-4.jpg http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/cardart/LRW/Ajani_Goldmane_640.jpg Their current looks seem too tame for me to take seriously.

Mind you, if they looked that animalistic and epic some people may not take them seriously at all. :P

I have played as all of them except Khajiits, I have been a Redguard only once (I was able to make a face that looked almost exactly like Jet Li), and Orc only twice.

I am usually a Breton Warrior or a Dunmer Scout.

Ive never played orc, highelf, argonian, Khajiit or redgaurd.

Ive played wood elf and dark elf once.

But generally i only play nords, even for my stealth characters, since i am a nord(nordmann) in real life it feels more natural for me. I generally try to make the character as similar to me as possible.
