My first question is... In Skyrim will the races all have the same racial powers as they did in Oblivion?

and my second has to do with this forum.. I had an avatar which is the cruddy Khajiit picture you are seeing, however It will not let me change it to anything else. I have selected a new avatar and it says its my current new one but for some reason my posts are still being plagued with my old one.. :swear:

Nothing is confirmed about racial bonuses other than they are returning. I think they'll be a pretty important part of the game, more so than before.

We know they will have powers, but we don't know how they will compare to Oblivion. Since the old attributes have been removed, I would espect there to be more powers/deficiencies to give the same feel.

maybe but i want somethin better than the argonians basic ones i would like under water vision like you could see the bottom of the lake or somethin

It takes some time before the server processes your request for a change in avatar. Wait a few hours.
If that doesn't work, try another picture and then the desired picture again.
If that doesn't work, ask a mod on the forum forums or something
