Let us see:

Nord: Resist Frost and a fear greater power
Imperial: Slightly more coin in containers and a calm greater power
Breton: Resist Magic and a 50% chance of absorbing magic attack for 60 seconds once a day.
Redguard: Resist poison and 10x stamina regen power.

Imperial is the weakest human so if Nord and Imperial is your options and you want the "best" of them I say Nord.

Nord for a warrior, Imperial for a merchant or scholar.

I believe you, I have had a few badass imperials myself. Stat wise they are the weakest human race though, having no resistance.

It depends what type of Warrior. I assume you mean Heavy Armor and One-Handed/Two-Handed? Block maybe? Breton is the best race for any build for min/maxing.
Orcs have the best starting skill bonuses for Warriors, but that only really gives you a head start and isn't much different from the other races.

Otherwise, just play whatever race you like.

this.

fighting enemies in skyrim is easy but as the game gets harder each level you progress, there will be more mages which deal more damage. you can be prepared for this if you are a breton

Their problem isn't only stats. Imperial warrior can never be described with words "gallant" or "hero" because they have no honor and low morale.

That is a matter of opinion, not a fact.

I`d say Nord is the better of the 2 choices,simply because they have a 50% resist frost to start - which is probably the most common type of enchant/spell to be thrown at you,so I`d go with that :biggrin:

Redguards are the most naturally gifted warriors of Tamriel, that includes humans and mer.

Says so in the race descriptions.

If you want to go for a build with the most melee damage, you should pick an Altmer. Imperials for heavy armour and block build. Nord for light armour and two hand swords, Orcs for pure damage dealing duel wielder, Breton for a witch hunter or mage killer, and Bosmer for an Archer build.

i use Breton... they are perfect for warriors who also can whip some ass with magic.... i usually go into a fight with my magic a'blazin then i run out and pull out my dual maces (or mace and sword) and really kick some ass.... not gunna lie hes pretty badass.

Whats perfect about the Breton as a warrior though is as a warrior your not going to face just other warriors you still have to battle the mages, if your a warrior you have 2 choices, try to out mage the mage (which i can do most of the time 1 on 1), or charge in and get close enough to bash that Fkers head in... with the Breton you can do both, they are good with magic, and have a pretty high magic resistance... member in order to beat the hell out of a mage you gotta first get close enough to him, you gotta survive a magic blast or 2 before you get there..

I have had them over 300 a piece, but that was with 5/5 armsman, 87 one handed, plus 4 pieces of gear carring one handed enchantments.
They respawn on a ship up by Solitude, forget the name off the top of my head. They respawn every couple days, and are usually good for at least one, sometimes two
