What race will you be playing as? : V - Skyrim

Khajit And Orc

I'll go with Nord, I went with Dunmer in Morrowind because of the region and I'll do the same here. I broke the mold with Cyrodiil, but Cyrodiil is the cosmopolitan capital and the CoC was just as likely to be any other race as Imperial. Besides Imperials are the least intriguing race imv, being so similar to RL Romans.

I'm a die-hard Redguard enthusiast (I was a Redguard in Morrowind, and I was a Redguard in Oblivion). Warriors ftw!!!

Given the setting I will be playing as a male Nord.

I've always played as a Breton. They seem to be the race that has benefits without losses. Plus, I love raepin' with magic.

I'm curious about the magic system in Skyrim, though, so maybe I'll be something else.

I'd like to play as an Argonian (I can never get humanoid faces right) but it will be a bit strange as I assume Argonians are cold blooded (although I may be wrong) and Skyrim is rather cold.

I like magic and hate elves so probably a Breton.

I will play all of the races at some point or another, to be honest. My main characters will most likely end up being a dunmer, a breton, and an imperial. I will probably end up beating the main quest as a nord for RP purposes, though.

Dunmer for sure!

Loved their history every since Morrowind.

First as always my ancient character: Adaqueril (Altmer, Psijic)
Then most of the races.

My first character will be a female Orc or a male imperial.

The second one depends on the benefits of the races.

A few years ago I made an oath-thing promising that I will play as the native race in whatever region any future TES games take place in.
I also went back and made Imperial, Dunmer, and Breton characters for Oblivion, Morrowind and Daggerfall respectively.

So Nord for my first character. Although I'll probably make a Bosmer(favorite race) character at some point in time.

Khajiit Assassin, Nord fighting class of some sort and High elf magic user of some sort.

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:52 pm

Khajiit warrior of some kind. I don't like messing around with stealth and magic my first play-through, I just want to do things simply.

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:59 pm

Argonian, Nord, or Imperial.

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:08 pm

Probably Nord, but if they improved the Imperials, then I would be them.
And I would create my class with Heavy Armor, Blade, um... and other stuff, maybe Destruction, depends on what they have.

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:18 pm

Dunmer, Argonian, Brenton.
In that order.

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:51 am

If they actually make archery a deadly way to fight I will be a bosmer, sneak/assassin character.

» Fri May 27, 2011 6:20 pm

the obvious choice for the province - Nord! ive always liked them, they fit my playing style well

» Fri May 27, 2011 3:01 pm

Nord. I always play as Nords, so setting it in Skyrim is just an added bonus.

» Sat May 28, 2011 1:45 am

In Morrowind I played as a Nord Battlemage.
In Oblivion I played as a Breton custom class.

I'm thinking I'll be a Dunmer or Imperial. Dunmer Nightblade or Imperial Rogue.

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:46 pm

Argonian of course! Now what beats a lizzard that can talk?!

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:41 pm

Going to play my favourite race because i am a sneaking back stabbing blade for hire.

Khajiiti FTW

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:11 pm

It still seems Argonians are the more popular of the beast races. What is it about those lizards? I'm with the sugar trippers

BTW, some mod for Oblivion added a race called "Skyrim Khajiit", bigger and with fur like siberian tiger. Were they just fanfiction or do they exist canonically?

» Fri May 27, 2011 2:46 pm

NORD-because I'm like them IRL only not as ripped ^^
DUNMER-because they're just cool
