hey guys so im looking at what my starting character will be researching all the plus and downs of each race....and i still cant decide can anyone help me out here?

i usually play Nord with sword (dual, magic and sword, shield and sword) for close range and bow for long range with light Armour (skyrim has no medium think ill probably go heavy in ESO)

now i was looking at the imperials and im not sure if i should play imperial or nord as they both seem to fit my play style, any reason to pick one over the other etc.. ?

also i was thinking should i go assassin or the Ardent Flame skill tree?

thanks for any help

The only two things you have to decide on that you cannot change is your class/race.

Weapons, armor, all that will just flow for you as you progress.

You can see the racials, I assume you will be able to select any faction, just up to you to decide.

I believe Nords are taller.

do whatever you want. the game is made that way.

ok cool ...ill just go my usual Nord guy then just need to decide on my class then ...

Yep. Then you can figure out your weapon/armor thing in game... go with what feels right. You will have at least 10-15 levels of just finding scrap and will gain xp for those armor types.

Seems like you're wanting to go tank. If that's the case, Nord or Imperial are both good choices, and heavy armor is best for it.
