I went with Ralof with my dragonborn roleplay because Kjekk holds grudges
My first playthrough I went with Hadvar simply because I didn't notice I had an option to go with Ralof. After running through the chaos with Hadvar, I Just kept following him. In my subsequent playthroughs I typically go with Hadvar anyways because I like having free access to the ingots underneath the workbench by Alvor's house. Makes it convenient to have some ingots to craft with when I don't feel like looking for them elsewhere and they respawn every once in awhile. I know I could just steal them, but it's not always easy to do with so many npcs walking around.
I wouldn't really consider orcs a beast race. They are Orsmer. Mer. So they are not really a beast race. They kinda act like it though!I went with Ralof, I have trouble choosing under pressure. With Helgen burning down all around us I just ran into the nearest entrance to the keep and ended up with Ralof. Killing the Imperial Captain was satisfying, she was one racist woman, (This was on my most current character, an Argonian Battle Mage) About my previous comment on the Captain, I mostly play as one of the "Beast" races (Orc, Argonian, Khajiit) with a few Altmer and Dunmer mixed in.
My role-play character Greylin the Forgotten (aka Rashka the Slayer) went with Hadvar since she's a spy for Ulfric and the Stormcloaks (sounds like a rock-and-roll Bard band) and saw it as the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the Imperial Legion and the Thalmor.
