Like human? I just got the game. Creating a character and already asking questions. In Oblivion I think i had an imperial rogue. I don't like going kajit or wood elf because i like to fight hand to hand a bit. Kind of like a more powerful rogue/hunter type class. I like to have a better balance vs super quickness and dexterity. I also like the speech and gold bonuses.
Since you level-up by doing it's always best to pick a race based on the special ability you like. Imperials get more gold and can calm someone once a day. Those are pretty good abilities, but probably not the best ever.
