What race did you start your game with?

Being a noob at The Elder Scrolls and PC games in general, I chose to be a Breton because I wanted to be a mage and I thought that the Breton would be a good choice because I thought elves were ugly and I still think that High Elves are ugly.

Started with a Breton too. I didn't even know anything about anybody's abilities at all, just went with the best-looking one. I still like Bretons best, but now it's for the free MR and because I can give them French names.

Imperial, that save is long and gone, made 2 more characters after and all were Khajiits.
Currently loving the style of the Khajiit and don't think I'm going to change
Also, the reason why I chose Imperial was because my friend told me to, and that's pretty
much the only reason xD.

My first character on my PS3 was a High Elf, although I played as an Imperial for a short while on my brother's XBOX 360 prior to purchasing the game for myself.

Argonian. Love the way they look, but I hate Tan Jala.

High elf, the master race. They start with the most magicka and have the best racial trait, highborn. I go for high elf Battlemage on my first character in elder scrolls games. The differences in starting skill levels is small and largely irrelevant as a bit of levelling will get you where you want to go in no time. Also high elves are the tallest and height affects your jumping, running speed and damage output. So let's recap shall we?

High Elves:

Can run the fastest
Can jump the highest
Have the highest damage output (melee)
Have the most magicka
Regenerate magicka the fastest

Master race + Sword, shield, heavy armour, destruction, restoration (Battlemage) = Winning, fact.

My first was a Breton, then I made the Nord in my Avatar, and I still use her today.

I always start out using the race that's native to that region of Tamriel the game's set in. That also becomes the main race that I use, at least 50% of my characters are that. So yes, I started as a Nord, and still playing Nords.

The only race I haven't been in Skyrim yet is Argonian...but I can't stand being a beast race, the tail sticking out of the clothes really bothers me.

dark elf. First chars have always been dark elf since morrowind. They are the evilest looking race. Was able to get my breton to look pretty evil as well.

I too avoid beast races because of the tail. If the armor wraped around it, or there was some sort of visible hemming for the hole I could live with it. As is it looks like bad cliping and just magicaly pokes through everything.
