I tend to stick to Bretons, though I usually don't use magic. I think it's because I'm rather...vertically challenged...and so are they, comparatively.

I wonder why I am always so attracted to playing Dunmer. I play them every TES game. I have no clue why, I think I'm more Nord or Altmer-like than any race.

I was a bad boy and was cheating with some of my previous characters but for some reason I am not doing so with my Orc. I vowed to play the game correctly this time.. maybe Orcs are just that special

My original plans were to carry over my Bosmer, Drae, from Oblivion. He was my longest TES IV playthrough, and I naturally thought I'd want to play a Bosmer in TES V. I was quite wrong. The Tree-Sap Elves don't quite cut it for me at the moment. I prefer my Orc Warrior. I had planned to make an evil Orc Berseker, but he turned good and fancied a shield.

rofl I am quite the opposite. I wanted to make a good orc and then I saw the two Alik'ir bothering the poor Redgaurd woman out on the road. I decided "Okay, they are bad guys and bothering this woman so kill them and take their scimitars, it will be justified." So I do.. but then I get a bounty so I realized I had to slay the woman as well LOL. That was 3 minutes outside of the tutorial. So much for being good.

Lol. I think I'll make an evil Orc eventually. I've also just started and evil Dark Elf thief/assassin. I'd like to make an Argonian Illusionist Mage, an Orc Berserker, a Nord Barbarian, an Imperial Bard/Trader, and a few more I've tossed around in my head. BUT, we'll see what happens.

Pssst....Hail Sithis.
:whistling:

Projecting..

I seem to be addicted to Bretons. I don't know why. I think it's because my longest lasting and by far favorite Oblivion character was a Breton. I wrote a whole huge fanfic/RP about her as I played and everything. Ever since I've just sorta defaulted to Breton.

And LOL to people who think creating an off-gender or off-race character has some psychological meaning. That's just silly. Firstly, it depends almost entirely on how you view your character. Some people associate their characters with themselves, as if the char was them, but in a different place. Other people (about half) view their character as a seperate person, someone who represents the main character of a book or a story, someone that isn't them but tells the story to them.

So I mean, who cares? If you like orcs it might be because you have some deep-seated psychological passion to be an orc. Or not. It probably just means orcs are fun to play, and so playing one tells the best story for you. Which is why you are playing the game in the first place.

So play orcs and have fun. Play female orcs and have fun. People that care are wrong. And probably a little insecure.

I always play a Nord because they are just built more like me. I love Orcs, but for some reason I can't make myself play them very long as they don't feel real enough or something. Same thing goes with Khajiit and Argonian. They're just too fantastic for me, I guess.

it most likely comes from society it self orcs are the bad guys be it movies books games or tv anything set in fantasy they are portrayed as evil and something to be destroyed but in TES no characters r evil( no msg about daedra start thread if u wanna talk about that) as such u gravitate to it due to its something new and as a melee based character is easiest to play and have fun as a side note if interest there are some fantany books series called orcs

I have played an Orc in Morrowind and got him up to a pretty high level. Orc like big hammers...what magic?

Nords and Bosmer and Redguards are my typical choice.
I have never played an Imperial or a Breton...I can't stand them. I don't much care for High Elves either.

I'd like to try an Orc in Skyrim some day, because they do look pretty bad ass.

Were you traumatized by orcs when you were a child? Like scary orc movies?

In all previous TES games I've played an Argonian. I loved swimming underwater and exploring... I'd never played anything else until I decided to play something different with Skyrim, first major character was a redguard sneaky assassin woman, but have stopped playing that one due to sneaking bug at 100. Also have a male High-Elf Mage, which is frankly underwhelming, I've never got into the magic side of things in the TES games. Started again with a big butch Orc dude and am feeling quite taken with the big-fella, seems a nice sensitive chap, not sure who I will marry though...

I know this very white guy who is even kind of racist but he always plays a Redguard in all TES games.


My choice varies, Morrowind I was a Dunmer, Oblivion Nord, Skyrim Argonian.

um maybe your an orc on the inside ... I'm a redguard ... even though im caucasion .... lol

edit : lol ... i dont know Armaggon2

I can't really play any race other than Khajiit. I always end up making a freakin' cat...

We are playing skyrim now.

Not being racist, but in general I dont think black people are that misunderstood... I think they're quite similar to every other race, actually. But hey maybe its different in different countries.

I'm scrawny, sober, and like to be wherever danger isn't. I always play dwarfs wherever possible.

A Dunmer. Always. Its a little irracional, maybe, but I dont like other Mer races. My Dunmer really detest Altmer-thalmor in Skyrim from the moment he talked to that [censored] from Markarth. I think it made me a racists just having heard those condescending remarks about filthy humans...

Racism varies across the globe that's for sure.

I'm fat, short, heavy drinker and bearded, I work as a geologist... I always play dwarves. I feel a cultural connection.

I do not always play TES. But when I do, I play Bretons.
Stay magicy my friends
