Your favourite race in Tamriel?

Post » Tue Feb 16, 2016 2:44 am

So, I've been playing Elder Scrolls games for a long time with like 30 FPS, but now I got my new PC it's time to mod heaven :)




I've had so much fun over the past few days, creating massive battles, and changing the course of the destiny of Skyrim and the Empire.



However, I have been wondering what everyone's favourite races are, personally mine is the Bosmer. Mainly because I love Elves and Archery and thieves, and I'm quite small in real life :)

I tend to play Imperials more than not. I feel like they fit a wider range of the characters I create.

I only play one character, and she is a small, fragile wood elf. So. . . yeah.

Female Nords. :D Always! Tried a high elf female once, but I just couldn't get into it.

Khajiit. They're arguably the weakest race in the game but with their awesome design, accents and lore, I don't care. :goodjob:

Khajiit, Been an shift for Zaria, preferred Bosmer in Morrowind and Daggerfall, Some Khajiit in Oblivion following by only Khajiit in Skyrim.

Mostly been an change in character models, did not care much for the elves in Skyrim but the Khajiit looks good.

No interest of playing humans.

Dunmer, though I like the other races too. But I love Dunmer history and culture more.

I'm going to go for the boring option and say Imperials :P Just love setting up a backstory for them since Cyrodiil is still my favorite province. Done at least one playthrough with every race though, love them all :)

My favorite character to play as is a lisbian Breton.


I'm currently playing a lisbian Redguard and it's fine except the Poison resistance isn't as useful as I thoughtit would be.



Though I think Khajits look Cute too. I love the accents and the fact that they're mostly Skooma dealers. Problem is I don't think it's justified to have your Khajit leaving and entering cities as she pleases while her brothers and sisters are stuck outside camping.

I'm pretty sure it's only the Khajit caravaners that aren't allowed in the cities. Besides, what guard is going to try to kick the Dragonborn out even if they are a Khajiit? :P

My favorite race is Dunmer. Ashlander Dunmer culture has been my favorite culture in the series for 13 years. I love almost everything about Ashlanders: the nomadic lifestyle, the Yurts, the Wise Women, all of it. I make at least one Ashlander character in each game. If I had the choice to live anywhere in any of the games it would be in a Yurt in an Ashlander camp in the Grazelands in 3rd-era Vvardenfell.



Also, Falanu Hlaalu is one of my all-time favorite NPCs. ;)

Love this. :rock: Been a diehard ES partisan since Morrowind. Therefore, I bleed and breathe everything Dunmer.


In all that time, most of my RPs have focused on House and Temple culture. Lately, for some strange reason, my RPs have been


making curious forays into Ashlander lore - the Mabrigash, the Ash Khans, etc, etc.



Fedris Hler is one of my all time fave NPCs.

Don't really have one. Currently a khaajit because I like underdogs and they're slightly mysterious. Oh and the accent! Its a shame the player is mute.



Being married to an Elf raises all kinds of questions that I'd... rather not go there. Suffice to say there aren't any other kitties to marry.





Thats not boring. Plain ol' Nord, now that is boring!





I'd never have guessed :P

Very arguably, as I personally don't see how is any race the best or the worst. Aside from 3 or so races that have very useful racial abilities (and even then some of them start to lose their usefulness as you reach higher levels), every other race is pretty much the same. In fact, beast races even have a big starting bonus where their claws deal more damage than any weapon you can find during the first couple of levels.

Daggerfall was altmer Due to their high paralysis resitance. Morrowind was mostly Orcs and eventually I tried Nords. I've played mostly Nords since. Still not sure what my all time favourite race would be
