Which of these races will you choose to play as your first character, and why?

Right now I'll probably start out as a Female Breton but if I don't like how the Bretons look then I'll go with either an Imperial or a Nord.

It's a big mix up between Imperial, and Nord for me my first run. I really like being "Human" so i've never been a furry, or a an elven race (orc, wood elf, ect) with the exception of Morrowind where i was a Dark elf one time. I do really like the cute and mystic elves (mod) thats who i play as almost every time in Oblivion now. However i really like the idea of being a Nord in Skyrim, i feel less out of place and more 'accepted'.

As to the question, Nord most likely.

Altmer. I pretty much always play Altmer wizards first before I branch out, and with the whole "two-handed casting" thing they're adding, I doubt Skyrim will be any different.

My first character in Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion were all Argonians, I imagine I'll continue that tradition

While this is a topic that has come up several times in the past I don't see any recent ones so it's OK to keep this one open.

to tell you the truth none, i kind of wish that they had replaced some of theose races for some other ones, for example there are 3 type of elfs, take out the wood elf and put in dwarves, also you dont need that many human like races that ultimately are the same.

Well that depends, does Turin Turambar fall under the catagory of a Nord or an Imperial?

Since Morrowind i am Djoan Nefarius,breton nightblade. :ninja:

Argonian, just because I've always played as one in all ES games.

Usually I play as a wood elf for my first play through in TES games, even though dunmer are my favorite. But this time I'm going straight for the dunmer. Probably a female druid/ranger/stealth build, like always.

In the country of the Nords... So it only feels right to play as a Nord bleeding for his own land's freedom.

Nord all the way.

I don't like you :stare:

Dwarves are extinct (or never existed if your referring of traditional dwarves)
Take out Wood Elves! They are the traditional Elf archer stereotype.
Every human race is necessary.

Oh, my favorite race is Imperial.

Imperial, wearing heavy armor and fighting with a blade and shield or a claymore. Mostly a knight like I did in OB

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:03 pm

First time through? Breton Assassin/Mage.

Second time through? Nord Warrior.

I just love Bretons. I don't think I can bring myself to play as another race for my first character.

judging by how classy the dude in the trailer is i'm pretty sure i'm just going to recreate him for my first run through.

http://i.min.us/ilG5YG.png it's such a manly look of confusion. "you serious, dog? this [censored] DRAGON thinks it can step to ME?" then he goes "[censored] YOU" and [censored] slaps the dragon.

other than the duke, i've never seen a character so perfectly capture the essence of the phrase "come at me, bro".

yea but we need variety, give us something that we havent seen before, yet we will totally love, just my opinion.

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:36 pm

my 1st character will be a mage, so if altemer still are good mages, then that will be it.

» Sun May 29, 2011 3:13 am

Probably Orc. Why? Ya gotta start somewhere, and with the mouth on your average Orc- Dragon Shouts nothing, that's halitosis from Hell!

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:29 pm

Not too sure yet I'll choose when I see some pics, On my first run it will be a toss up between Imperial as long as they haven't been spray tanned and Nord/Breton.

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:47 pm

Call me a noob but i'm making the nord from the trailer. I'm not sure if i'll call him Aieron or Aeiron.

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:34 pm

Khajiit has no words for you.

» Sun May 29, 2011 1:48 am

well if i had to choose, i would probably pick the redguard, for my first run he is the one to keep me alive, he is the fastest, mildy stongest, and has adrenaline rush added to it.

» Sun May 29, 2011 12:11 am

Right now I'm thinking Nord, but that might change.
