Where is the Redgaurd love.
Adrenaline rush is an awesome ability and I thought Redgaurds had some of the best voice acting in Oblivion.

Imperial - they just have that "honourable" or "noble" feel about them that reminds of ancient Romans. :thumbsup:

I prefer the Imperial race because it is a balanced race. Nothing particularly special about them and not really favoring one thing over another. They tend to be the middle ground out of all the races, and Im more inclined to stick with a sort of balance.

That's half of what makes them so dull.

Hm, difficult to pick just one to be honest. I love the Imperial's for their distinct Greco-Roman flavor, the Nord's for their obvious Viking roots and the Redguards for their distinctly unique lore. Out of the three I'd say I prefer Redguards the most.

The most used Race, by my main is the Nord.

But this is my Top 5
1-Nord Bard is my favorite Roleplay combo.
2-the Khajiit because they are cool.
3-Wood elf are the only elf that i tolerate.
4-Redguards The Adrenaline Rush one of my favorites.
5-Argonians

In a honorable mention are the orcs, but because there are no good looking orcs in oblivion, is kinda anoing the 1 orc pic from skyrim show us a grate improvement.
i hope they can realy make a cool looking Orc Race. so they can change my top 5.

Man i hope they change all Races, because man every one is ugly in oblivion.

Khajiit because they make really good stealth characters, and they each have a bigger sweet tooth than me. Also, Khajiit produce the most bad-ass narcotic ever; after all, Skooma is a crystalline material that is produced from both Moon Sugar and Nightshade, and anyone that is crazy enough to make a drug out of Nightshade is a real insane badass.

Interesting. The Khajiit usually score position five or six in these polls. I'm going to assume the strong showing currently in this poll is due to the screenshot (or just dumb luck on who's voting). Third place is the highest I've ever seen the kitties score. :)

Edit:
Oh it allows multiple choices! That changes the dynamic of the poll considerably.

I find the Altmer to be the most advanced culture of the bunch making them one of my favorite races. They are [censored]s ingame. All of them.
The fightning techniques of the Dunmer, excelling at infusing magic into their weapons and being skilled with the ways of stealth make them the ideal race to choose, but it's all lorespeak. The natives of Morrowind are also [censored]s.
My favorite race has to be the Bretons. They are ideal ingame for any type of character considering how the skills balance out in higher levels most starting race bonuses become obsolete early on. They are the ideal human race, aside from imperials, who are more or less following orders for the sake of following orders. Regardless of how their laws change.

Khajiit's because I think I enjoyed playing my stealth character the most, and he was a Khajiit. It is also the coolest sounding name out of the 10 races.

Question: How do you guys say it? Do you say the 'ji' sound like the letter G, or like a soft j? Like... how I think the French say J's. like Shuh (but a J sounding sh)

Anything that isn't an elf/mer, I voted Imperial because that's the race of my most recent character in Oblivion.

Depends.

Lorewise? Probably Argonians or Dunmer since they are the most interesting.

For characters? Nords and Bretons depending on what Im playing.

Breton because I love their history, the way they look, and their affinity for magic. I also like how awesome they are as a Magic/Combat or Magic/Stealth hybrid class.

I think the Orcs might gain popularity now that they don't look ridiculous. Races with not particularly good skill bonuses or any connection with a certain play style will gain popularity also due to the new (non-)class system - more people will start playing races because of their background and personality rather than their skills.

It's really hard to pick a favourite one race as it depends on what type of character I'm playing and I don't really have a preference there either...Nords, Khajiit, Dark Elves, Imperials.... they're all good races.
