A khajit because I can see in the dark and outrun anything. Plus when I'm over weight it doesn't take as long to walk back to town as the other races do.

To hard to choose, for myself I think.

Anything that isn't human. Don't get me wrong, I love the humans (Imperials especially) but speaking as a human I love the opportunity to play something that isn't one. The aliener the better. The more distinctive the better. Shame everyones non-human heads are still stuck on oh so human shaped bodies, but I'm patient.

Argonians and Khajiit I'll never get bored with (oh to one day have a game set in a Argonian or Khajiit dominant region) plus they look amazing, I have always, always liked Altmer and Dunmer (and finally, finally a game in the ES series that gets the alieness vs humaness of them right) - the aliener the better. Bosmer used to make me sad, but they are so good now (looks wise and play wise). Haven't played an ork yet, but again - they have hit the nail on the head with orks, so soon.

Khajiit are as fast as anybody else in Skyrim.

Still, Khajiit are awesome. Argonians are close second for me.

i heard that the khajiit are slightly faster than other races

Nord ftw

Cheers

Nord because I identify most with them. Similar to my ancestors as well. And I like warrior cultures.

Dunmer is always my first choice.

The first character I played in Morrowind was a Dark Elf and I've just stuck with them since.

Dunmer.

Because they connect me, in a superficial way, to my most favorite race in all of the Forgotten Realms setting.

Orcs have long been my favorite race in Tamriel.

Dunmer

Argonians, go back to your swamp

argonians are my favorite why? because of there racial abilities there culture there alien appearence and the fact that they gave those xenophobic dunmer jerks what was coming to them.

Nord and Orcs for moi.

Though I do like my very human looking wood-elf that I roleplay like a half-elf.

I do hate how high pitched the Nord's male voice is for shouts and attack grunts.

Redguards because they're badass and the only race that gave the Aldemeri Dominion a well deserved beat down. I also found their history to be one of the most interesting, especially when you consider that they aren't related to the other races of men, makes them different.

Argonians. They're damn sixy this time around.

Argonian is so high ?!? Then it's quite illogical how the devs implemented such weak content for the beast races in all TES games, and argonians and khajit seem to be in just for the lols and leather jokes.
Even now there are tons of humanoid followers, yet only 1 argonian follower and there are 0 marriage options for khajit.

I do believe the beast races deserve WAY more respect and content from the devs.

this is why i hope for a elsweyr or black marsh dlc.
i was also hoping there would be some kind of quest to allow khajiit into the cities or something,like talk the jarl into allowing it happen.

Nord, because it just feels right at the moment, doing the main quests and joining the Stormcloaks and all.

However, I really love the look of orcs and the beast-races this time around. The elves are back to the sharp, alien look they had in Morrowind which is awesome. I think playing one of the beast-races or a dunmer refugee could be a lot of fun because I'd be playing the underdog, the unlikely hero. I will certainly roll one or more of that type of character in the future.

Redguards look great too by the way, very handsome/pretty and I love the redguard outfits in game.

I'm not keen on female Imperials and Bretons this time around, they look old and haggard, but since I've played them so often in Oblivion it's nice to not pick them for a change anyway.

I think they're all very well done in Skyrim at least by appearances. I just wish the game was a little more diverse.

Can't really pick just one. Gameplay-wise I have no preference, they all come with their strengths/weaknesses.

DLC?!? Black Marsh and Elsweyr must be kept for full games, don't shrink them in expansions please.


This one I agree, the beast races are very underdone in Skyrim despite the popular support.

Orcs, Because when you want something eliminated with extreme prejudice, You go Green .

Plus their lore is pretty cool as well, but its made me very disgruntled against bretons and redguards.

The one race I've been able to play without getting annoyed are nords. Ever since Morrowind, any other race I've tried just has an annoying scream when they get hit.

Then you heard wrong. High Elves are faster then other races.

BTT: I only played Khajiit (Morrowind, Oblivion and now in Skyrim. But my Khajiit is different :ninja:^^

Orcs, for their lore and just being a badass race.

In Skyrim they finally look awesome too, both males and females.

I don't like argonians alot. I guess Jarjar Binks isn't my style.

I hate furries, but I think the Khajiit are really cool. Just the way they are. Tiger-people just look cool.
