Which Race You Will Choose!? : V - Skyrim

» Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:42 pm

I too never played "beast races" ... i just cant look at myself in the mirror afterwards :lol:

God I hope they look better than Oblivion. I miss the Morrowind Dunmer, rough people with husky voices.

Exactly. Morrowind Dunmer > Oblivion Dunmer

Its gonna be a close call between Altmer and Breton for me because i always play Mage as my first character in rpgs whenever available. It will depend mostly on racial traits but if we take oblivion traits in consideration then its gonna be Altmer because i like to play offensive mage rather then a defensive one like breton

I always start with a Dark Elf because they are the most rounded characters IMO. I can try out combat, stealth, and magic without starting three games.

hmm can't decide until I get there. I am usually an elf of some kind, but that depends on how cool the other races look in this game.

Tradition dictates Argonian, but a second playthrough with a longhaired nord named Asator (gonna look like the singer for Amon Amarth)

Lame, perhaps. But that's okay. Lame can be cool!

I myself am going with resurrection from the dead...

After two hundred years im saying im gonna be a descendant of my cyrodilic champion..he obviosly slept with several women being the hero he was...somehow that dragons blood got into the champions receding for two generations..then came me at the start of skyrim about to be excuted for being at the wrong place at the wrong time..ehem..excuse me..right time...how else would i start the main quest if it was destiny that brought me there..according to patrick stewart..i mean uriel septim

I think we should wait until Bethesda shows us these "cool" and "unique" looking races.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:15 am

Being Norwegian IRL, guess 3 times

Plus, the game is set in Skyrim.

(_{Nord, duh})

I put Nord, but it really depends on what they look like/ starting attributes/ other stuff.... (immunities etc...)

Heres hoping a real reprasentation of the "reptile" argonian and the "ferocous" kahjit and the "monstrous" orc...instead of the "morrowind faces + pig" heads they had in oblivion..literally every face was the model they had in morrowind plus a pig or a turtles features..add that to an argonian or orc and it doesnt work out too well

I rarely choose the typical human-looking race. I love playing as Khajiit.

» Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:49 pm

Imperial

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:26 am

Wait. You mean to tell me there is more races than just dark elf????

Lol. Dunmer FTW

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:58 am

A Nord, as usual

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:24 am

I am Dunmer, and by Azura, I will be sure to gut every Argonian reptile I see

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:42 am

Always start off with a nord. I blame the climate I grew up in, and where my ancesters came from.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:51 am

Argonian every time. I've always liked lizards and reptiles (I blame childhood cartoons like Wally Gator and Denver the last Dinosaur). Since I found Argonians in Daggerfall's demo I knew it was the race I was going to play as in this game series.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:50 am

Bretons are my favorite race but if they change them and make the race look too ugly I'll go with Imperial.

Heck yeah!

I'm thinking probably a Nord, but it bothers me that a Nord character should know Skyrim like the back of his hand yet I will be wandering around the game world for the first time without much knowledge of my surroundings...which takes me out of character a bit.

What can I say, it's the little things that bother me....

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:35 am

Breton's all the way. I've always played a bald Breton magic wielder. Using Breton + Apprentice = powerful mage that has good defense against magic as well.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:21 am

I think I will chose a Nord, Breton or Dunmer on my first play-through. Probably Nord.

» Sat Mar 05, 2011 11:31 pm

Imperial, they've been my favorite race since Morrowind.

Probably an agent like character, light armor/clothes, short swords, stealth orientated, but still able to hold their own in combat.

» Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:24 pm

I will probably pick which ever one looks the least lame, if im lucky ill pick one that actually looks cool. Kind of a stretch from oblivion though.
