Best race in skyrim

[Reaper87]

I didn't vote for any of them. I would choose an orc, because if levelled correctly etc., you have a chance to deal over 12,000 damage - using alchemy to make weapons that do over 2,000 damage, then using sneak attacks - 2/3 x damage. Plus Beserker Rage. If you have an armour rating over 800 (once again using alchemy and enchanting), you will take half damage and deal twice as much.

12k damage..overkill much?

I like khajiits, they are my favorite race to play. I want to try an argonian soon too. But I love the khajiits.

Though I won't say there is a "best" race in Skyrim as each offers its own set of perks and possible RP play-throughs (with cool backstories), I have a soft spot for Nords.

Edit: I have to add that with the Dragonborn DLC, characters like Neloth and Teldryn Sero have piqued my interest in Dunmer. Perhaps one day I'll RP with one.

Khajiits of course
Good assassins/thieves have good racial powers and boosts,and simply look awesome.
