Breton. I knew i was going to be a mage, and i alwasy try and make my 1st toon look like myself (i know, i know, cheesy) . The fact that they're human, and have agreat racial for magic (absorbas 50% spell damage as magika) was what did it for me.
Next will be a Cat Burgler, in the future...a long time from now.... when i get sick of my mage.....if that ever happens...mabye...

I chose Breton as well, considering I'm a mage. Race is definitely not as important as in other TES games, which I find a bit unfortunate, but it does allow for more flexibility. next play through, if I go stealth, I'll be a khajiit, they make great thieves and assassins. If I go warrior, I'll probably be a Nord because I've never played one before (always chose redgaurd) and the game is in Skyrim. However, the Dunmer look really badass in this game.

Chose Breton too, ha. I wanted to be able to use one-handed weapons and magic so Breton has worked well for me. I haven't even been trying to raise my one-handed skill and it's already much higher than anything else.
Next time I play through I think I'll try as a Khajiit and be a sneaky pickpocket/assassin as my Breton has pretty damn poor sneaking skills at the moment.

What's wrong with Imperials?

Khajit! I was afraid of trying this class in Oblivion but thought I'd give it a whirl here. The unlimited use of night vision helps in the dungeons very nicely...better than casting that "star" thing and giving away your sneak. Great thief character...the typical "cat burgler".

I went with Dark Elf, simply because they are cool, can set themselves on fire. To fit into the story of Skyrim though I pretend that he is half Dark Elf, half Nord, explaining his large size for an elf, and big beard. The thought of a Dark Elf being born with the blood of the Septims just didn't seem right to me...

I went High Elf, I always love the magic in these games. Currently level 4 and playing the story line now... I am sure I will wonder to the College of Magic soon

I played around with multiple races and I found myself really liking the Nord and Redguard playstyle. I do plan on doing a Dark Elf playthrough as well as a Khajiit playthrough.

Im always a battle mage so high elf. +50 starting magica and when your fighting a boss the high elf ability (sorry cant remember the name) comes in bloody handy.
currently level 18 & arch mage. cant really get hit to much as i wear robes but damn i can slaughter camps of baddies with ease...

I feel the same way, I doing a swordmage/thief its been working out great.
Started out with a Nord paladin-type class with Heavy Armor, two-hander and resto magic...then i figured I would be having a hell of a time vs dragons and ranged/magic enemies, so I rerolled High Elf mage with conjuration and destruction magic. There's nothing better than summoning your flame atronoch and letting it tank wispmothers and dragons while you pop off firebolts from 50 yards away

I went with Nord to stay as realistically possible to the story and Area since most of skyrim is made up of nords. I'll probably pick something different the second time through.

I picked an Imperial because i was unsure about what type of character i would create at first (Imperials are the "Marios" of TES).
In the end, i went with the heavily armored melee character, so mabie a Nord would have been a more appropriate character, but i still like the Imperials because their balenced nature is good for some of the other skills i occasionally use (such as Restoration, or Archery).
