No Redguard love?

Post » Wed Nov 03, 2010 6:27 pm

Is it just me, or am I the only one who personally always plays as them, or Orcs? :confused:

i'm going to play as a slightly tanned nord with dark hair and beard due to a dilluted redguard heritage as a homage to cyrus and tobias from Redguard.

so i won't be playing as a redguard but rather a distant descendant of one. :P

Orcs I like, my main character in Oblivion was an orc, redguards though I just never liked. I personally will never play as a redguard.

Nah, I have had plenty of redguard characters in the past.

Though I play them more in Daggerfall and Arena.

I made an Indian looking character from a Nord for Oblivion. He was black haired, brown skinned with green eyes (or billi ahka as they say in the Indian language meaning 'cats eyes')

I don't ONLY play as any one race, but Redguards are definitely my favorite. I'm not sure why they're with Orcs in being one of the least popular races. They're awesome.

My second character will probably be a fat, bald Redguard Gladiator with a massive two-handed sword.

Yea Orcs are cool, ive always enjoyed playing as an orc. There great with heavy armor and blunt weapons.

I put them with Orcs because they're the two most underplayed races, but I love Orcs.

(Other than Imperials)

Redguards are cool, it's just people like to play as the really odd races because how many games let you play as a "lizard person" or a "cat person", know what I mean? You can play as a human in plenty of games.

I'd be disappointed if they got rid of Adrenaline Rush.

Ha, that reminds me of a strange time I had playing Oblivion with my friends at 3 am. We made a white Redguard with a pink afro. We all laughed very hard when Uriel Septim said "You are the one from my dreams..."

The only reason I played a Redguard was to make him to be like Mace Windu

I wrote something this week on my blog about how people don't seem to play Orcs. Link in my sig

The new Orc looks so badass that I'm sure more people will roll up an Orc. Hopefully a similarly awesome makeover will be lavished on the Redguard race too....

Will play as an orc in one of my many playthrough, Redguard on the other hand... No, I just don't like them, nor Dunmer nor Altmer.

Don't forget elves and orcs. :P

I usually play as Imperials, sometimes darkening the skin to role-play that the Imperial had a Redguard mother/father.

I don't know.. Te reason I never play redgaurd is that I find It kind of simistic to just play as a tank character. Before you rage, I'm not saying it is, just that that's what it feels like to me

Redguards are good, but I would rather play a chicken/bear-man than an Orc.

I actually like Redguards alright, although I never really played them.



Adrenaline Rush was good.






I hate Orcs.

Redguard Love sounds like Crassius Curio's latest play. Cue the twangy lute music and light jazz.

Redguards are kind of boring, and TES Orcs have never really matched what I think Orcs should look like.
