What Race did you pick and Why?

[brandon]

ever since morrowind ive always made my first guy a dark elf. so why change now. race doesnt matter hes basically a midevil delta sniper light armor great with a bow. but has a steel warhammer i use when things get tough. and its fun to sneak up behind somebody and watch the cut scene when they get smashed to the ground

I feel the same way, I doing a swordmage/thief its been working out great.

This is how my character is laid out to, I literally sneak everywhere but in town, always have a sword in the right and a spell in the left.

com on i want to get 2000 views and also some likes ....lol

Dark elf because they're cool and dragons can't burn me to a little crisp. And I started off with a lightning spell which is my favorite element

 

[Lilfish43]

Nord why? 1) They dont look like Fran Dressure in this one 2) They have frost resistance 3) Good with magic 4) They look sweet in this game 5) Todd Howard said himself that the Dragonborn should be a Nord but it doesnt matter what you are.

that brings us to another good topic: do you like that you are automatically a dragon born or do you think its to much direction?

 

[Onyx]

Argonian. I've always liked reptiles, so Argonian was the only logical thing for me to do. That and they look frickin amazing in Skyrim

Aye they do! Did not like how they looked in Oblivion but in Skyrim they look freaking awesome!

I think it is ok as (being in character) one cannot decide what one is born with, so being Dragon Born is the gift/curse our character just happens to have (and from a gaming perspective gives some direction but without forcing the issue).

again from a game perspective I think it is "easier" to ignore the main quest from an RP perspective (even after finding out you are dragon born) that it was in Oblivion (Emperor has just been murdered and I am carrying the amulet of kings but I think I will go stalking a dodgy merchant instead of getting rid of the damn thing). In my opinion at least

right on, i have even put up a blog about how my khajiit is avoiding the main quest, I mean both sides are wrong in the first place. The imperials for forcing a entire religion to be supressed, and the stormcloaks for their only nords in skyrim ways

 

[Henry McDonald]

im just doing every quest possible as i said in another thread my character has multiple personalities

 

[CarryOut]

I rolled as a Breton and focused on archery and stealth so far. Light armor perks plus the 25% magic resistance makes for a pretty beefy thief.

 

[Henry McDonald]

that sounds cool

 

[Tar-ij-kun]

Khajiit for me too. They look just plain awesome in Skyrim! Fits wells for my "thief" build.

I picked Khajiit for the awkward moment when a cat turns into a werewolf lol!!!

 

[OdinTheNord]

I started out Khajiit, then re-rolled with Nord. I like that it fits in the game better, and since it's mostly in the snow, the frost resistance was good. I also like warriors, and since Nords are the best with two handed weapons, why not?

 

[Dzylon]

I chose Imperial because I played as pretty much everything else already in Oblivion.

 

[phantom cat]

i went the thieving cat type mixed with assassination i use the phrase the wemon love me men will probrably die

 

[The Fallen Hero]

I choose an Imperial because he looked Spanish, like myself. I didn't know much about the races or powers so I just picked him because of the looks and didn't really pay attention to the fact that I would be an archer and Wood Elves are natural archers. He looked cool.

 

[Tiberius of Isengard]

I chose Khajiit because I think they look the coolest and are the most unique charecter

 

[tigersauce]

I have several different characters and their races all specific to their combat strategy, but my first was an Orc because of they just tank with Berserker Rage.
