What is your favorite playable race?

[Vinven]

I've had a fascination with Bretons. They look cool, and have a magical nature to them. My Breton mage has 75% magic resist, and 80% spell absorption (100% with Dragonskin racial active).

Dunmers make the best vampires because of their resistance to fire, plus they look bad-ass.
So they're my fav.

Since Oblivion I've been playing as a Dark Elf/Dunmer, but recently I started a file playing as a female Nord, which has been pretty fun actually. It feels like a completely different character to me (well, that's the idea, but yeah). I think I'll always prefer Dunmer though. It's just been a unique experience so far being a Nord in Skyrim, despite them being native to there. I dunno.

For me it's a tie between burly male Nords and wicked female Dark Elves.

Imperial and Nords, but yeah they did an amazing job with Skyrim with races and other things, even the opening was like "Holy crap they cut his head off" That was the last time I ever make fun of the "Stop right there criminal scum!" Legionnaires, cause they don't mess around in Skyrim.

I prefer the Orsimer(Orcs). Love the Berserker Rage ability.

Nord, Breton or Imperial female in Forsworn armor, , mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Jeremius]

For me it depends on the setting. Here in Skyrim I prefer Nord.

All around my favorite race is the Dunmer. It might be because I was first introduced to TES through Morrowind, but they have always stood out to me. I love the way they look and the history behind their appearance. I love the fact that their culture is incredibly alien compared to anything in the history of our world, yet it genuinely looks and feels believable to me. I like the Great House political structure and the fact that throughout their varied religious history they have never really taken to the nine/eight divines. I'm definitely a Dunmer gal to the end.

I also like Nords, but that's mainly because they are my preferred foundation for vampires or werewolves.

breton and orc females C: bretons look cute to me cuz they're so short, and orcs look really strong and tough and personally i love the orcish warpaint

 

[Lycan Supremacy]

i love the orcish warpaint

As do I, I think its best warpaint on the game.

 

[wolf_maiden]

As do I, I think its best warpaint on the game.

finally someone who agrees w/ me!! lol C:

 

[wolf_maiden]

Nord, Breton or Imperial female in Forsworn armor, , mmmmmmmmmmmmm

breton female in forsworn armor look nice too. I'm pretty sure they're more busty than imperials

 

[Sid]

I'm up for Dunmer as well. For me the best Lore (Other than Shivering Isles) I mean it just has to be. If only they had Hobbits.

 

[DarkElfWorshipper]

I've tried every race, and although my favourite game was with a Bosmer archer, I definitely have to go with my username and say Dunmer.
Their religion is awesome. And if you make them look right, they're fl*ffing badass.

By nature I'm typically drawn more to the more "out there" races like Khajit and Argonian but nothing beats out elves, they're in every good fantasy game and almost always are badass in some aspect. I just wish the eyes weren't so creepy on the Dark Elves lol.

Plus no matter how hard I try I always revert back to a sneak/mage style with a capable-when-necessary combatant element to my characters so I figure Elves (primarily the Dark & High elves, high elves especially) are the best of that lot.

I think the elves in elder scrolls are pretty ugly but I guess its due to other games/movies/books always portraying them as fair and beautiful. Still i just can't play as an elf for very long because it bothers me how weird they look. Altmer are the only ones I can make look decent lol
